Selena Gomez Is Sharing Her Journey Of Receiving A New Kidney

Last year, Selena Gomez announced she was taking a short break from her career to focus on her health.


Gomez has been open about her diagnosis with the autoimmune disease lupus, for which she has undergone various treatments including chemotherapy.
In the last few months, she has released new music but has made very few public appearances.

In an Instagram post, Selena revealed that she received a kidney transplant as part of her lupus treatment.


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.

Scrolling through Instagram, you start to see the same poses over and over again – it starts to make us miss the olden days, when people used to take pictures of each other. At least it was less repetitive! Here are 11 of the worst selfie trends that absolutely must go. 1. The Belfie Kim and Kylie, we’re looking at you for starting this crude trend. It is a selfie of one’s bum, just as it sounds. The highlight isn’t really the face, in this one – girls love to do it in jeans or bikinis posing in an ass-jutted-out position that’s all about angles. It seems like you’re just showing off when you do it, and it’s not that creative. 2. No Makeup Selfie Tyra Banks and Alicia Keys love this one – #nomakeup has gone too far. Since when did not wearing makeup and posting it to the world become a noble and humbling act? we know plenty of girls who do it every day!

Ariel Winter Blasted For Not Wearing Bra And Underwear To A Kids’ Movie Premiere And Pulling Off A Raunchy Look

To this day, Modern Family remains one of the funniest shows on television, but there’s one gem that shines above all of the other amazing actors, and her name is Ariel Winter. Now she started out by playing a seemingly nerdy, and awkward 11-year-old on the show, but both her character and the actress herself have undergone an amazing transformation from geeky to a smoking hot young woman. Given the way she looks, we have no doubt that she’ll become a big Hollywood celeb, and see? She’s already causing quite a stir too with a recent daring dress. Most people would agree when we say that Ariel Winter looks positively hot in this dress. But this look caused a lot of people’s jaws to drop when she turned up at a movie premiere showing off way too much. Personally, we don’t see what the big deal is, but not everyone liked her all too revealing dress. Many felt that the dress with the transparent sides showed way too much of Ariel, but that’s probably because they were jealous. So wh...
