Selena Gomez Recalls How Disney's 'Wizards of Waverly Place' Changed Her Life
Selena still feels proud to be part of the "Disney high school experience". Selena Gomez's 'whole life changed" when she joined Wizards of Waverly Place. The 33-year-old actress auditioned for a series of TV shows, including the spin-off of Lizzie McGuire, before she joined the cast of Wizards of Waverly Place, the hit Disney Channel sitcom. Selena – who starred on the TV show between 2007 and 2012 – said on the Therapuss with Jake Shane podcast: 'It was actually a weird thing because I was on three pilots for the Disney channel. One was the spin-off of Lizzie McGuire. One was the spin-off of The Suite Life of Zach and Cody, and the last one was Wizards." She added: 'So by then all of them didn't get picked up and I was just kind of at my wits' end, but not in a bad way, just kind of thought 'okay, well this is not going to work out' and Wizards got picked up and my whole life changed after that." Selena still feels proud to be part of the 'Disney high school experience". The brunette beauty – who has also enjoyed huge success with her music – reflected: 'It was an immediate feeling of oh I achieved my dream at that point in time." She said: 'I was such a huge fan of the channel. I was a huge fan of what they did for our generation, and it was an honour. I wear it proudly. I definitely am not ashamed of being part of the Disney high school experience … It was all of us, all from the Jonas Brothers, to Miley [Cyrus] and Demi [Lovato], and then it was Zendaya. It was just so cool to see all the people you so 'went to school with' if you will. It's good to see them all do their thing." Despite her success, Selena's family tried to ensure that she remained grounded. The actress – who is now engaged to record producer Benny Blanco – said: 'I just remember my mom being on my ass all the time about making sure that any sort of sudden exaggerated fan moment is meant to be treated with respect."

Cheryl Burke Responds To New Face Speculation
You know Cheryl Burke from Dancing With the Stars, as well as some guest appearances she's done in stuff like The Suite Life of Zach and Cody. 'Let's just address the elephant in the comment section,' she said. "I'm not on Ozempic. I'm not sick. I didn't get a face transplant, and no, I didn't get a brow lift.' 'The level of projection that is happening and that I'm witnessing is wild,' she added, while noting that the online chatter makes her feel as if she's being treated as 'not a person" and that the "most disappointing" aspect of the conversation is that when people say they miss the "old" version of her. 'Suite Life of Zack and Cody, Cheryl. Back in 2006, Dancing with the Stars season 2, when I was 21 years old, or three years ago, Cheryl, where I was going through a divorce. I hate to break it to you, but that Cheryl doesn't exist anymore.' 'The assumptions are just exhausting as hell,' she continued. 'The accusations are completely cruel, and the fact that so many of them are actually coming from women, that's what is so shocking and hurtful to be quite honest. I have been in the public eye since I was 21 years old, my body has changed over the past 20 years, my face has changed because I've changed." 'I've experienced so much trauma, divorce, and this is by no means a pity party. Soberity, burnout, reinvention, I've healed, I've lost, I've grieved like anybody else. And yeah, maybe it shows, but I'm not sorry for it, not one bit." Cheryl also cited the " of being in the public eye as a recent stressor. "I'm still the same person who has advocated for mental health and body image for many years,' she said. 'I just do it differently now than maybe you're used to. I'm quieter, I have boundaries and more discernment, and frankly, I don't feel safe the way I used to. There's a tone now on certain platforms that feels more like a firing squad than an actual community.' 'The saddest part of all is the way I'm witnessing women tear down other women while pretending it's from concern. This is me at 41, I am still healing, still growing, and still choosing to show up. If you're here to speculate, compare, or demand answers that you're just not entitled to, you're not welcome in the space that I have created. But, if you're here to evolve, unlearn, to support, welcome, we're just getting started.' Pretty reasonable response, all told!

Rams fans should thank Brenda Song for her perfect free agency take
Rams fans should thank Brenda Song for her perfect free agency take might need to get Brenda Song in the front office @RamsNFL — SleeperNFL (@SleeperNFL) March 6, 2025 Did the Los Angeles Rams take advice from actress Brenda Song, known for her roles in Mindy Kaling's new show, Running Point and The Suite Life of Zach and Cody? Turns out the actress who's also married to Macaulay Culkin is a huge Rams fan. And she knows ball. She recently went on a rant about the Rams that went viral -- she was asked what she would have done to stop Saquon Barkley from running all over the Los Angeles squad in the playoffs, and her answer was perfect: she ranted at defensive coordinator Chris Shula and declared, "We don't have a run stopper. ... We cannot stop the run." Well guess what? The Rams listened! They signed nose tackle Poona Ford, who was a former Charger, and he'll help stuff the run. Good work, Brenda.
