Selena Gomez collaborates with Oreo to create brand new custom flavor. The singer/actress debuted the cookie earlier this morning with Oreo, pulling inspiration from her childhood, music, and fans to create a brand new flavor and look. The flavor is inspired by horchata, a Mexican beverage and childhood favorite of Gomez's made with milk, ground rice, and cinnamon. The cookies will feature six different embossments, including Selena's signature, and one that says 'Selenators,' the given name to the 32-year-old star's fan base. The collaboration will also help raise money for the Rare Impact Fund, which Gomez founded in 2020 to connect young people to mental health resources. The limited-edition cookies will hit the shelves on June 9 with online presale kicking off June 2. Denzel Washington involved in altercation with photographer at Cannes Film Festival. The heated exchange took place on Monday at the premiere of A24's Highest 2 Lowest , in which Washington stars. The photographer reportedly grabbed the 70-year-old actor's arm to get his attention while he was speaking with the film's director Spike Lee. Washington quickly demanded that the photographer stop, pointing directly at him with a stern warning, but as he turned to walk away the photographer was seen once again grabbing the actor. After jerking his arm free, Washington repeatedly told the photographer to stop, before removing himself from the exchange entirely. The altercation took place shortly before Washington was awarded an Honorary Palme d'Or at the event, which is known as the festival's highest honor.

Seth Meyers mocks media frenzy over Biden 'cover-up,' says his age was 'worst-kept secret'
NBC "Late Night" host Seth Meyers mocked the idea of former President Joe Biden's declining health being a major political scandal, claiming it "was the worst cover-up in American history." Questions about Biden's health have resurfaced after the release of "Original Sin," a new book by CNN anchor Jake Tapper and Axios journalist Alex Thompson, which alleges that Biden's inner circle concealed the president's flailing health and cognitive decline for years, despite telling the public that he was mentally sharp and fit for office. Meyers ripped the media for paying attention to the Biden "cover-up" when, according to him, "The Trump Administration and Republicans in Congress are rapidly dismantling American civil society and turning the country into a reclusive oligarchy." "But I don't want to talk about any of that and neither does the media. We both want to talk about something way more important. Joe Biden is, and has been, for a while, very old," he said sarcastically. After playing a montage of figures calling the cover-up a media scandal, Meyers joked, "They're right. This is the biggest scandal in history, bigger than Watergate, bigger than Iran-Contra, bigger than the Teapot Dome Scandal." The late-night host argued that the president's advanced age wasn't a secret and the majority of Americans were against him running for re-election in the 2024 campaign, believing him to be too old to serve again. "Now, you might be thinking to yourself, 'Wait, didn't everybody already know that Joe Biden was old?'" Meyers asked. "'Didn't poll after poll show that the vast majority of Americans, including a clear majority of Democrats, thought he was too old to run for reelection, and wanted someone else? Didn't he biff it so bad in the debate that his own party undertook an unprecedented effort to successfully force him out of the race?'" "'Weren't Democrats ultimately punished for Biden's disastrous choice to run again when they got their asses kicked in the November election?'" he continued. "'Didn't Seth play that clip of Biden falling up the stairs, like, 1,000 times?'" "This was on TV, everyone saw it," he said of Biden stumbling while walking up the stairs of Air Force One in 2021. "If this was a cover-up, if this was the worst [bleep] cover-up in American history. It was the worst-kept secret since Mika and Joe," he joked, referring to the relationship of "Morning Joe" co-hosts Mika Brzezinski and Joe Scarborough who wed in 2018 after years of co-hosting the morning MSNBC show. "This was only like Watergate if the break-in had been live-streamed on Twitch," Meyers added. After poking fun at reports that Biden got lost in his closet in the White House, Meyers turned serious. "It was just a disastrous political choice. And the people who deserve criticism for that are Biden, the aides who convinced him and themselves that he should ignore reality and run again," he concluded. Meyer's Monday night show appears to be the first time he referenced the Biden cover-up revelations from Tapper's book, according to Grabien transcripts. Meyer and fellow liberal late-night hosts Stephen Colbert and Jimmy Kimmel have all welcomed Biden for friendly interviews. Most recently, Biden was on "Late Night with Seth Meyers" in February 2024, just days after the release of Special Counsel Robert Hur's report. Hur was heavily attacked by the media at the time for calling Biden a "sympathetic, well-meaning elderly man with a poor memory" in his report. During his February 2024 interview of Biden, Meyers gently broached the subject of Biden's age before quickly moving on to other topics. After Hur's report was released a few days later, Meyers called the special counsel's comments a "gratuitous hypothetical" and stressed that Hur was a "Republican attorney" who "was originally appointed by Trump." "If that kind of language was appropriate in a legal finding, then prosecutors could have done the same thing to Trump," Meyers said before repeatedly drawing attention to President Donald Trump's mental acuity.

Billionaire YouTuber MrBeast ‘borrowing' money from mom for his wedding
Even billionaires need handouts sometimes. MrBeast — who's worth an estimated $1 billion — claims he's cash-strapped and asked his mom for money to pay for his upcoming wedding to fellow content creator Thea Booysen. MrBeast, whose real name is Jimmy Donaldson, addressed his finances on X in response to a post that described him as 'the only billionaire under 30 to have not inherited his wealth.' 9 MrBeast proposed to content creator Thea Booysen in December 2024. mrbeast/Instagram 'I personally have very little money because I reinvest everything (I think this year we'll spend around a quarter of a billion on content),' the Internet sensation, who boasts over 400 million subscribers, wrote on Sunday, June 1. 'Ironically i'm actually borrowing $ from my mom to pay for my upcoming wedding lol,' he continued in his candid X post, adding, 'But sure, on paper the businesses I own are worth a lot.' MrBeast has his hands in several projects, including the competition series 'Beast Games,' which gave its first season winner a whopping $10 million in prize money, and his Feastables chocolate brand. He recently attacked Trump's 'brutal' tariffs, informing his fans that it would be 'way cheaper' to produce his ethically sourced chocolate overseas. However, he's also been at the center of several lawsuits, including one that involves his snack brand. 9 The billionaire claims he's borrowing money from his mom to pay for the wedding. Honey 9 'I personally have very little money because I reinvest everything,' he admitted on X. MrBeast/X 9 MrBeast and Thea Booysen recently teased a possible island wedding. mrbeast/Instagram In May, the Mexican government sued the media house behind MrBeast's popular video titled, 'I Explored 2000 Year Old Ancient Temples,' in which he hawked his Feastables outside the Mayan pyramids, calling them a 'special Mayan desert' and 'the only Mayan-approved snack on the planet.' While the government admitted that MrBeast and the company were issued a permit to film at sites including the Mayan pyramid Chichén Itzá near Cancun, it claimed he was not given permission for commercial use. They claimed the YouTuber violated the terms of an archeological permit and profited from the 'heritage that belongs to all Mexicans.' 9 MrBeast was sued last month by the Mexican government. mrbeast/Instagram 9 He was accused of violating the terms of an archeological permit and profiting from the 'heritage that belongs to all Mexicans.' mrbeast/Instagram But he denied those allegations. 'This video … was meant to highlight these treasured Mayan sites in Mexico,' a spokesperson for MrBeast told The Post. 'No advertisement material was shot on any archaeological sites overseen by INAH (Mexican National Institute of Anthropology and History), so it is unfortunate that this has turned into a political issue.' MrBeast was also sued by five 'Beast Games' contestants in September 2024 for alleged 'chronic mistreatment,' sexual harassment and more. 9 He was also sued by a group of 'Beast Games' competitors in 2024. mrbeast/Instagram In response, a spokesperson for MrBeast's company exclusively told The Post, 'The MrBeast promotional video shoot, which included over 2000 participants, was unfortunately complicated by the CrowdStrike incident, extreme weather, and other unexpected logistical and communications issues, which we are currently reviewing, but we are grateful that virtually all of those invited to Toronto for our next production have enthusiastically accepted our invitation. 'We have communicated directly with 97% of the 2000 people who attended to ask for feedback, have launched a formal review of the process, and have taken steps to ensure that we learn from this experience and we are excited to welcome hundreds of men and women to the world's largest game show in history.' 9 MrBeast and his future bride met in her home country, South Africa, in 2022. Getty Images for Breakthrough Prize 9 The pair said their wedding will be 'more private,' with only friends and family. thea_booysen/Instagram The YouTuber and Booysen met in 2022 while he was visiting her home country, South Africa, and have been going strong ever since. The pair recently teased their upcoming wedding, revealing it won't be a show for the world to see. 'This will definitely be more family and friends — definitely more private,' MrBeast told People. 'I don't take much vacation because of how hard I work, so I definitely want to make sure that the wedding will be a time to celebrate with her and spend time with friends and family who we really enjoy being with. It will be the ultimate way to take some time away and enjoy things.' The future MrsBeast also shared that they're toying with the idea of exchanging vows on an island. 'We're thinking of doing it somewhere on an island where we're far away from just about everybody,' she said. 'We're not going to try and have a big, extravagant wedding. It's going to be nice, but it's certainly going to be intimate [with] close family and friends.'

TikToker Sana Yousuf shot dead, man arrested in case of 'repeated rejections'
TikToker Sana Yousuf shot dead, man arrested in case of 'repeated rejections' Show Caption Hide Caption TikTok influencer Valeria Marquez shot while livestreaming in Mexico A man fatally shot a 23-year-old Mexican TikTok influencer, Valeria Marquez, while she was livestreaming. A 17-year-old social media influencer was killed in Pakistan after she repeatedly rejected a man's advances, authorities said. Sana Yousuf, who had recently celebrated her birthday on May 29, was shot dead by an unidentified man around 5 p.m. on June 2 at her home in Islamabad in front of her mother and aunt, Islamabad Police said. A day after the incident sent shockwaves across the country, Islamabad Police arrested the main suspect, Umar Hayat, a 22-year-old man from Faisalabad, a city about 200 miles from the capital of Islamabad. Police said the suspect had only done his matriculation, equivalent to high school in the U.S., and belonged to a lower-middle-income family, with 'no source of income." Pakistan's Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi, in a post on X, said the accused has confessed to the murder and that the weapon had been recovered. Sana Yousuf's murder a case of 'repeated rejections' Islamabad Inspector General (IG) Syed Ali Nasir Rizvi, in a press conference on May 3, said the incident was a case of 'repeated rejections." 'A monster, cold-blooded murderer is now in the law's grip,' IG Rizvi said during the press conference, noting the suspect had tried to contact Sana repeatedly and was being 'rejected by her again and again." The police chief said the culprit wanted to 'become friends' with the social media influencer and had made repeated attempts to make connections with her. He even reached her home on her birthday on May 29 and "tried to meet her for seven to eight hours but failed.' 'First, it was a cellular rejection. Now, it was a physical mode of rejection," Rizvi said. On the day of the murder, the suspect made a similar attempt for the same amount of time to meet Sana but was unsuccessful, according to Rizvi. After receiving multiple rejections and no response from Sana, the suspect then forcefully entered her home and shot her. Police said the suspect had planned the murder, and Samaa News reported he parked his motorcycle near Sana's house and fled the scene on it after committing the crime. CCTV footage shows what appears to be the suspect running away from the location on foot. According to a First Information Report lodged by the victim's mother, Farzana Yousuf, the suspect entered their home suddenly with a pistol around 5 p.m. on June 2 and fired point blank at Sana, local media outlet Dawn reported. Two bullets struck Sana in her chest, severely injuring her. While she was rushed to a hospital, she could not be revived and succumbed to her wounds. 'It was a blind murder' Rizvi termed the murder a 'very challenging case,' adding that multiple raids were conducted in a bid to nab the suspect, including three in Islamabad and eight others in other cities. 'It was a blind murder; there were no leads, and things were not clear," Rizvi said. "Attempts were made to give the incident another angle, even though the aim of taking the mobile was to wipe out the clues." Police claim the suspect had taken Sana's mobile phone with him to delete evidence. The phone and the murder weapon were recovered during the police's investigation. Rizvi said he appreciated members of the social, electronic and print media, highlighting 'many leads' came from journalists who 'offered their services in analyzing social media." Who is Sana Yousuf? How many followers did she have? Sana Yousuf was a medical student and popular TikTok creator from Chitral, in Pakistan's north, according to Dawn News. The teenager had a million followers on TikTok and more than 500,000 followers on Instagram, and she was well-known for her social media posts. A quick scroll through her social media accounts shows the young girl living life to the fullest and sharing beauty, fashion and food-related content. The last video on her account was posted hours before her murder, in which she was seen cutting a cake for her birthday. Saman Shafiq is a trending news reporter for USA TODAY.
