Selena Gomez is moving up in the world, fast. The Spring Breakers actress will be returning to the Disney Channel, taking the reins as executive producer on a special episode of “Wizards of Waverly Place.” Hollyscoop has obtained a sneak peek of Selena’s interview with Ernie D on Radio Disney in which she talks about the new challenge. “I’m not ready for it [‘Wizards’] to be over, so I just kind of want to do one more thing,” she says. The idea to reboot “Wizards” series after a four-season run came to light after a strong effort from Selena herself, thus earning her the EP credit… Read more here: http://www.hollyscoop.com/selena-gomez/selena-gomez-adds-executive-producer-to-her-resume.html Photo credit: Jason Merritt/Getty Images…Read more

Beverage company Babco Europe created a new liqueur with a curious choice of ingredients. Coca Blue, a new blue alcoholic drink contains coca leaf, the raw substance that is used to make cocaine. The drink will not be released in the UK until November and is being marketed to coincide with the end of the Mayan calender on December 21, 2012, which some conspiracy theorists believe will be the end of the world. Sounds like a cheerful drink. While liqueur might be a new territory for the coco leaves, they have been used to make other types of drinks for centuries. For example, many indigenous Andean people use the tea…Read more

Jenni “JWoww” Farley is engaged! Yup, she is marrying her boyfriend of two years, Roger Matthews. As you might remember from the show, JWoww reunited with Roger while filming a season of MTV’s Jersey Shore. At the time when they met, she was still dating ex-boyfriend Tom Lippolis. However, their relationship was going south and the way she felt about Roger showed her she needed to be single. I guess it was love at first site. Now instead of rocking in a club, she is rocking a 5 carat ring. Not only that, but it is surrounded by 2.5 pink and white carats. Apparently he popped the question during a…Read more

After 42 seasons with minimal changes to the shows format, “Sesame Street” will be changing up Elmo’s usual routine. The fuzzy red puppet’s “Elmo’s World” segment that viewers have watched for 13 years is being phased out for a new segment, “Elmo the Musical.” Ten 11-minute skits have been prepared. Sounds like Elmo is hopping on the Glee train! Senior vice president of education and research at Sesame Workshop Rosemarie Truglio told the Huffington Post that the new skit will emphasize concepts in science, technology, engineering, and math using music as a learning tool. The new segment will be directed largely at pre-school aged children rather than the current Elmo who…Read more

(PCM) It’s really happening people! Marky Mark himself told Hollyscoop that the Entourage film script is finished and the beloved gang will be back together this Spring! “It is [finished],” Mark tells Hollyscoop, “I think we will be getting a copy tomorrow and hopefully we will be shooting in the spring.” The HBO hit series came to a feel-good, domestic end, with Vince getting married, Eric and Sloan together and having a child, and Ari about to start his own agency and get back together with his wife. So, does this mean we can expect a family-friendly film? Not quite. “[The movie is] going to get back to the basics,…Read more

Get used to hearing three words Carly Rose Sonenclar as she is one talented little girl. I first want to put out the disclaimer that I am NOT a talent show competition fanatic. Actually, I am not I don’t put the “fan” in fanatic at all as I do not like shows such as So You Think You Can Dance?, X Factor, The Sing-Off, or American Idol. I find them all repetitive and predictable. I do like something like Dancing With The Stars, because it adds that celebrity component. You get to see stars at their most vulnerable trying to take on a whole different art form. But, I did…Read more

Prepare your best Black Beard accents, Captain Hook impressions, and Jack Sparrow swagger because today is International Talk Like a Pirate Day! And it’s not just any old Talk Like a Pirate Day. September 9, 2012 marks the 10th anniversary of the very first pirate holiday and to celebrate Krispy Kream Donuts is giving anyone that comes into the store talking like a pirate a free donut! Talk Like a Pirate Day all started back in June of 1995 when a group of friends were playing a game of raquetball and started talking to each other in pirate slang. By the time the game was over, “the pirate guys” John…Read more

She can run, but she can’t hide! The 4th richest woman in the world, Elaine Tettemer Marshall, has been living in Texas undetected by the media for years and is sitting on a fortune of nearly $13 billion. It’s somewhat surprising how long Marshall has gone unnoticed, since she just happens to be daughter-in-law of the late, reality TV show star Anna Nicole Smith. But Marshall is 77 years old and Smith passed away when she was only 39. If Smith were alive today, she would still only be 44 years old. Scratching your head yet? Unlike Elaine Marshall, who has remained under the radar for quite some time, her father…Read more

(PCM) It’s official! Nicki Minaj and Keith Urban will be joining Mariah Carey and veteran Randy Jackson (of course) at the American Idol judges’ table this season, Fox announced. “It’s really an honor to have been invited to be a part of the American Idol family,” Urban, 44, says. “I’m looking forward to working with everyone and to seeing the same passion that I have for music in all of the participants.” But despite announcing the official panel just days ago, there are already rumors circulating that there’s drama stirring on set…between the two ladies, of course. Carey denied the claim at a recent press conference in NYC, where the first round of…Read more
