Selena Gomez Shares Rare Pic With the Weeknd
Selena Gomez hasn’t been what you’d call secretive about her romance with The Weeknd, but it looks like she’s been taking her cues from Taylor Swift’s lowkey relationship with Joe Alwyn.
We all know that Selena and The Weeknd are dating, but we don’t see their everyday activities or feel like we’re their third wheel, no matter how many of Selena’s social media accounts we follow. (All of them, to be clear)
So this pic that Selena shared of the two of them out on a dinner date is a rare item.
Selena and The Weeknd went Instagram official back in April, but even on that photo-sharing site, Selena’s been very cautious to avoid over-sharing.
It’s not that Selena’s afraid or shy — she’s a singer and actress who’s up front about her battle with lupus and who downs shots of ginger on a daily basis, even though most people would find that agonizing.
(But, hey, when you’ve gone through chemo to treat your life-threatening condition, what’s a little shot of ginger? She’s such a badass and we love her)
They both work in the entertainment industry — and, very specifically, in music — so they have plenty in common.
Also, the The Weeknd is relatively lowkey as far as men in music go, which is perfect for Selena, but we’ll get to that in a moment.
First, here’s the pic:
It’s not exactly an informative photo, but it’s nice to see.
The Weeknd (his real name is Abel Makkonen Tesfaye, so we don’t think that Selena calls him “The” on their dates, folks) is staring off, either at something or perhaps he’s just lost in thought.
We’ve all been there, right?
We’re not sure who actually took this photo, but Selena’s contentedly looking into the camera. Even though the light washes her out, she decided to share the snap.
And we’re glad that she did.
Selena’s appeal is obvious.
She’s overpoweringly gorgeous (The Weeknd is a lucky dude), she’s a talented actress, and she’s produces some of the greatest music in the history of the world.
(Seriously — with “Naturally,” humanity has peaked, musically speaking. I literally cannot imagine a better song)
Part of what we imagine is a majorly appealing point about The Weeknd for Selena is that, despite his fame, he has this laid back image.
For years, Selena Gomez was dating Justin Bieber — a guy notorious for being a hothead and for incident after incident of terrible behavior.
And mind you, that was before Justin Bieber’s penis was hanging out left and right.
The Weeknd isn’t a random non-celebrity who’d experience culture shock upon being catapulted to stardom by dating Selena.
But he’s also never come across as an egomaniacal douchebag.
He sounds like a perfect fit.
Just like with Selena Gomez’s bff Taylor Swift and her boyfriend Joe Alwyn, the key the happiness for this couple seems to be a relative amount of privacy.
Selena’s not, like, donning disguises Atomic Blonde style, but Selena isn’t nearly as controversial as her bestie. She’s even spoken about him occasionally in interviews.
Recently, Selena Gomez said that The Weeknd is more like her best friend, which is great but also sad.
It’s great because that’s the sign of a healthy relationship.
It’s sad because you can’t help but get the impression that Selena may not have had that with any past relationships.
That girl deserves the world.
Barack Obama Slams Trump Decision To End DACA

Chris Lopez: Why Won"t He Appear on Teen Mom 2?
Generally, when a new Teen Mom baby daddy enters the fray, he can’t wait to get his sperm-donating face in font of an MTV camera crew.
And honestly, we can’t say we blame them.
After all, it’s an easy job that pays big bucks – a tantalizing prospect for any young guy who just brought another hungry mouth into the world.
As a bonus, it offers the dads an opportunity to defend themselves, rather than sit idly by and watch their Twitter mentions burst into flames every time they’re the subject of an enraged rant from one of the show’s stars.
For reasons that remain somewhat unclear, however, the father of Kailyn Lowry’s third child wants no part in any of that.
As he’s stated from the start, Chris Lopez does not want to appear on Teen Mom 2.
Like, at all.
Lopez has apparently made it clear to producers that he doesn’t even want his face to appear on camera.
What’s less clear is why the first-time dad is so camera shy.
At first, the decision made sense, as sources said Lopez was refusing to play a role in his baby’s life, and not everyone wants to advertise the fact that they’re sort of a sh-tty person.
But now, Lopez has apparently stepped up to the plate in the dad department.
Despite initial reports that he wouldn’t be in the delivery room, Lopez was right by his baby mama’s side, and he even drove Kailyn home from the hospital.
When fans learned that he’d come around and decided to be a dad, many assumed he would also join the cast of TM2.
But apparently he still won’t appear on camera – and he’s using reasoning that must be a little bit offensive to Kailyn:
“Chris continues to not want to be on the current season and he is avoiding the cameras around Kailyn and the baby for now, ” a source close to Lopez tells Hollywood Life.
“He does not want his child to know him as a reality star. Despite the repeated offers for money by the network, Chris prefers to keep a low-profile when the cameras are rolling. Chris is around however and helping with the baby.”
He doesn’t want his child to know him as a reality star.
Not only is that an obnoxious thing to say, it doesn’t make any sense.
It would be like if you were unemployed, and your baby mama was a manager at McDonald’s, so she offered you a job, and you were like, “Nah, I don’t want my kid to have two parents who always reek of McDoubles.”
Also, you don’t want your kid to know you as a reality star?
Well, good news, Chris:
As long as you’re in the kid’s life, he’ll know you as his father for several years before he even has any idea what a reality star is.
Although to be fair, there might be more to the story here.
With his affinity for faulty logic and nonsensical arguments, Lopez may have been offered a position in the Trump White House.
