Oreo's Selena Gomez Cookie Collab Features First-Ever 'Signature' Touch
Weeks after rumors began circulating that Oreo teamed up with on a limited-edition flavor collab, the popular sandwich cookie confirmed the talk to be true–and then some. On Tuesday, the fan-favorite cookie brand partnered with the "Bluest Flame" singer for a limited-edition flavor, just like it did with Post Malone earlier this year. The new Oreo is said to be inspired by the 32-year-old's "favorite flavors growing up- specifically, the creamy, spiced horchata she's loved since her childhood," according to an official statement shared with Parade. To recreate the authentic creamy-cinnamon flavor of traditional horchata recipes, the limited-edition Selena Gomez Oreo features "a layer of chocolate & cinnamon flavor creme atop a layer of sweetened condensed milk flavor creme with cinnamon sugar inclusions" that's sandwiched between two chocolate-cinnamon-flavored wafer cookies. Related: 'Making my own OREO cookie was a lot of fun. I grew up loving them, so being able to be a part of the process was a full-circle moment,' Gomez shared in a statement. 'I wanted to find a way for it to feel comforting and have a bit of nostalgia from my childhood. The cinnamon flavor gives it this horchata feel, and I'm excited for my fans to try it.' If the collaboration stopped there, fans would certainly have their fill. But the duo is making the limited-time offer extra special by "partnering with a purpose" and to put it simply, making Oreo history. Taking a page out of her BFF Taylor Swift's book, the multihyphenate's upcoming cookie collab will feature six unique "Easter egg" embossments that celebrate her music career, including a 'Selenators' cookie and a "Heart on Fire" cookie that was inspired by her song 'De Una Vez.' There will also be one unique Oreo featuring Selena's signature in select packs, marking "the first time the OREO brand has ever put an autograph on an OREO cookie!" Related: Additionally, Oreo is making a pact to donate a portion of the proceeds to support youth mental health initiatives through the Rare Impact Fund, founded by the Only Murders in the Building star in 2020. Parade is also told the Rare Beauty founder and Oreo are "dropping an exclusive remix together," but fans will have to "stay tuned for the encore." "Tapping into Selena's world—her cultural roots, her loyal fan base, her musical journey— propels the OREO brand's cultural relevance and playful personality to new heights," said Michelle Deignan, VP of OREO, US added, noting, "This collaboration embodies our commitment to delighting our consumers in unexpected ways and further establishes our footprint in the music industry." The Oreo x Selena Gomez pre-sale officially kicks off online on June 2, with cookie packs heading to stores nationwide beginning June 9, as well as internationally in Canada, Brazil, Australia and New Zealand later this month. That said, the brand teased a "surprise appearance" in other parts of the world–but only while supplies last. If June feels too far away, luckily, there's another new limited-edition flavor to hold fans over that only recently started hitting shelves: Oreo Chocolate Covered Pretzel. Next:

The best songs of 2025 so far
It's been a hot minute since Selena released anything at all, and most of us expected a few more classic ballad-esque pop tunes and yearning 'Lose You To Love Me'-style dance tracks. And we got a fair bit of it with I Said I Love You First, her new album with bae Benny Blanco. But then, there was 'Bluest Flame' – a fresh, boppy, fun tune with a distinctly 'Brat summer'-esque vibe with the repetition of, 'I just wanna go all night/I just wanna go insane'. Could this be a contender for 2025's song of the summer?

Selena Gomez attends first prom thanks to Benny Blanco
Selena Gomez finally experienced the magic of prom, thanks to her fiancé, Benny Blanco. The singer has been working in Hollywood since she was a child and never had the chance to attend prom as a teenager. Blanco, ever the romantic, decided to change that. Four months into their engagement, Blanco surprised Gomez with a DIY prom night, according to Daily Mail. He shared a video on Instagram, captioning it: 'My fiancee has never been to prom before… so I asked her if we should take prom photos together at a mall… she said yes!' The video shows Blanco, 37, pacing in a tuxedo, before asking Gomez to prom. He then 'rented a limo' to take them to a local mall for prom pictures. Gomez looked stunning in a puffy purple ball gown, paired with black heeled boots and a fur coat. She completed the look with a black choker and glam hair and makeup. Blanco was smitten, and after sharing a kiss, the couple hopped into the limo for a ride through Hollywood. Blanco even rolled down the window to announce to fellow drivers that they were 'going to prom!' At the mall, they posed for photos in front of a blue watercolour backdrop. Blanco even had Gomez sit on his back for one playful shot, 'it was more fun that either of us expected,' Blanco admitted. The couple's prom came shortly after they celebrated Passover with celebrity friends. Blanco, born Benjamin Joseph Levin, even spun some tunes at the celebration. The couple, along with their guests, sang their song Bluest Flame . Selena Gomez and Blanco got engaged in December 2024, after dating for a year and a half. Blanco has joked about wedding planning. 'I think every day she's planned a new wedding in her head.' He added, 'We're very much 'take it one day at a time'-type of people. We're still not over this moment while you were talking, Selena Gomez was sitting there staring at her ring.' Later, Blanco shared, 'It feels like we got engaged yesterday, but also feels like we got engaged 20 years ago.' He expressed regret that they didn't get together sooner, saying, 'My biggest regret is that we didn't get to do this earlier, like we waited this long to be together. But I know it was perfect and it was right.' Let us know by leaving a comment below, or send a WhatsApp to 060 011 021 1.

Selena Gomez's fiance Benny Blanco takes her to the 'prom' after learning she never went as a teen
Selena Gomez 's fiance Benny Blanco isn't letting up on the romantic gestures four months into their engagement. On Thursday, the music producer, 37, revealed that he recently threw the singer, 32, her very own prom. He decided to recreate the high school dance party after learning Gomez — who has worked in Hollywood since age 10 — was unable to attend one as a teen. Blanco shared a video documenting his and Gomez's DIY soiree to Instagram. He wrote over top of the footage: 'My fiancee has never been to prom before... so I asked her if we should take prom photos together at a mall... she said yes!' Blanco's video kicks off with him pacing around in the backyard of their LA home in a tuxedo before asking Gomez to the prom. He then 'rented a limo' to take them to a local mall where they'd have their prom pictured taken. Once Gomez was done 'getting ready,' she appeared in a puffy purple ballgown styled with black heeled boots and a luxe fur coat. She accessorized with an edgy black choker necklace and she had her hair and makeup done by her glam squad. Blanco stared at the Disney Channel alum in awe as she gracefully made her way down their home's staircase in her stunning prom garb. After sharing a kiss in the foyer, the couple hopped into an awaiting limousine and took a ride through Hollywood. At one point, Blanco rolls down one of the limo windows to tell people in a nearby by car that he and Gomez are 'going to prom!' Once they arrive at the mall, the couple make a beeline for the photo studio. Dressed to the nines, Blanco and Gomez struck several fun poses for the studio's photographer while standing in front of a blue watercolor backdrop. For one shot, the hitmaker had Gomez sit on his back as he posed playfully on all fours. Blanco said that the entire experience 'was more fun that either of us expected.' He ended the Instagram video with a slideshow of their favorite prom photos, many of which showed the couple gazing lovingly at one another. Blanco, who boasts 2.8million followers, captioned the post: 'wow' The couple's 'prom' comes just days after they celebrated the last day of Passover with their celebrity pals at a party hosted by famed chef Jake Cohen. During the celebrations, which included traditional Hebrew songs, Blanco, who was born Benjamin Joseph Levin, took time to spin a few beats for the crowd. He, Gomez, and other guests seemed to have a blast belting out their tune Bluest Flame from their new album, I Said I Love You First. Other guests included Debra Messing and comedian Judy Gold. The couple previewed the song before the album's March 21 release during a surprise appearance at the A24 x IMAX screening of Gomez's film Spring Breakers in New York City on March 19. The Dinner Party Animal cookbook author lived up to his reputation with a colorful buffet spread that included the irresistible kosher treat Matzo Crunch, made with matzo bread crackers, caramel and chocolate with lots of sprinkles. Homemade loaves of challah were shaped to read '4/20' which was the date of the celebration, but could have been a sly nod to the unofficial holiday for those who imbibe in cannabis. Easter, which took place on Sunday as well was marked. A fun photo shows Blanco holding a giant chocolate bunny. 'Later Seder 2025 ✡️xoxo The Jewish Joy Boys,' Cohen wrote by the carousel of photos and videos shared on social media. Gold responded to the post with a long line of flame emojis, while the Will & Grace star shared her delight writing, 'It was EPIC!!!!! I love you all so much!! JEWISH JOY ABOUND!!!!' 'Moshiach Energy' said comedian Modi Rosenfeld. 'Next year in *wherever @shobean is performing,' wrote a friend referring to the traditional 'Next Year in Jerusalem,' and a nod to Hell's Kitchen star Shoshana Bean who was also in attendance. Gomez and Blanco got engaged in December 2024, with the music producer presenting the Ice Cream singer with a ring with a large marquis shaped diamond. Blanco joked about wedding planning in a joint interview with Rolling Stone, saying, 'I think every day she's planned a new wedding in her head.' 'We're very much 'take it one day at a time'-type of people,' he explained. 'We're still not over this moment. Literally, while you were talking, she was sitting there staring at her ring.' Later in the interview Blanco admitted, 'It feels like we got engaged yesterday, but also feels like we got engaged 20 years ago.' 'I've known her since she was 18, and so it's like we got all that stuff out of the way. By the time we're dating, it's like, whoa,' he said of the exhilaration. 'My biggest regret is that we didn't get to do this earlier, like we waited this long to be together. But I know it was perfect and it was right.'
