I don’t know about you, but I sometimes confuse Demi Lovato and Selena Gomez since they were like the same person for so long. Turns out I am not the only one because Lindsey on Jeopardy did the same thing and it cost her $200.
I don’t know why but that wrong answer gave me so much joy.
Have you ever seen Hot Ones on YouTube? Sean Evans interviews celebrities as they eat wings with hot sauce. With each question, the peppers get hotter and hotter. At first, they are bearable, but by the end they have tears coming from their eyes, sweat pouring out of every pore and their faces are hotter than the sauce they just inhaled. Why? Who cares, sadists like me love it.
Since I cannot sit through anything that is over 10 minutes long, I skip to the good part. The end when they have reached the hottest bottle. Yesterday, Evans brought his show to The Tonight Show, and his guests were Jimmy Fallon and Selena Gomez.
As we know the NBC late night host cannot handle any pain, he was crying after the second wing. By the time he got to the end, he was dancing like a potty trained toddler who really has to go #2 but cannot to do it in their new underwear because mommy and daddy will yell at them. Gomez did a little better, but not by much.
I don’t know about you, but I find Selena Gomez to be very one dimensional. However, in these three photos, she tweeted from her bed in Cannes, I see two other sides of her. She should be more playful like this more often. Being goofy works on her. Maybe she wakes up that way and then becomes boring as the day goes on? What do you think?
Last month, Selena Gomez revealed that she got a kidney transplant over the summer due to complications from Lupus and her friend Francia Raísa was her donor. Today, the two actresses talked about the transplant on Today.
Gomez knew she needed the transplant, but did not want to ask anyone for it. Then one day, when everyone in her family already did not match, she broke down to her roommate. As soon as Francia Raísa knew she needed a transplant, she offered to be tested. Before, the Secret Life of the American Teenager actress had a chance to think about it, they were on the operating table. Raísa went first, and everything went fine. Then it was time for Gomez and the surgery went fine. But then something went wrong in recovery and she went back into surgery for 6 more hours. That surgery was a sucess and Gomez knew she was on the mend. When she woke up her arthritis went away and her Lupus seems to be gone.
When Savannah Guthrie said to Gomez that it’s like her best friend saved her life, the singer told her, “Because she did. That’s it. I guess I got to the point where it was really kind of life or death.” That is how close they were to death. In fact, Raísa made out a will before she went under. But she did not need it.
Now we know more about kidney transplants and how they really can save lives. I am not saying to just donate an organ, but if someone you know needs ones, then consider it.
Selena Gomez has been very open about her battle with Lupus and now she revealed a complication she had to endure because of it. Over the Summer, she needed to get a kidney transplant and her friend Francia Raisa, who starred in The Secret Life of the American Teenager, gave the singer one of hers. Gomez shared a message about the life-saving operation and gratitude on Instagram.
I’m very aware some of my fans had noticed I was laying low for part of the summer and questioning why I wasn’t promoting my new music, which I was extremely proud of. So I found out I needed to get a kidney transplant due to my Lupus and was recovering. It was what I needed to do for my overall health. I honestly look forward to sharing with you, soon my journey through these past several months as I have always wanted to do with you. Until then I want to publicly thank my family and incredible team of doctors for everything they have done for me prior to and post-surgery. And finally, there aren’t words to describe how I can possibly thank my beautiful friend Francia Raisa. She gave me the ultimate gift and sacrifice by donating her kidney to me. I am incredibly blessed. I love you so much sis. Lupus continues to be very misunderstood but progress is being made.

Hopefully the transplant will ease some of her Lupus symptoms.
She is not the only young actor to receive a kidney, Sarah Hyland got a kidney from her father back in 2012. Tracy Morgan and George Lopez also went through the same organ transplant before both actresses. As did the late Gary Coleman.
