The actor, singer, producer and entrepreneur not only teaches the public how to cook, standing in front of countless cameras to catch her every unique angle. Selena Gomez is not a Kardashian.

After educating herself and us, too, how to cook in the company of a fresh crop of chefs, Selena donates $10,000 to a cause for the performance. Interviewed by Athena Morales de la Cruz, Selena Gomez again articulates that she no longer has a need to find her own voice. Now that she owns her own authenticity, her responsibility is to use her platform in a meaningful way. This definitive statement is a theme in today’s superstar.

A noteworthy topic raised very recently by Vanity Fair after the Vogue Mexico interview is the intense rumor that Gomez has broken with the embattled Hillsong church. The evangelical congregation courted celebrities including Justin Bieber, Gomez’s old boyfriend. Both Hailey Bieber and Justin reportedly unfollowed disgraced Hillsong pastor Carl Lentz last month.

Page Six also jumped into the Selena Gomez departure from Hillsong story saying that last February, Lentz and his pastor pal, Rich Wilkerson Jr., ““were partying their asses off” at a private post-Super Bowl party, with one attendee describing Lentz as a “womanizing manwhore.”

Well that certainly sums up Lentz’ situation. Not to worry. The disgraced church leader will be probably born again after a few months, saying God has given him a clean bill of ethical health, his sins are forgiven, and can he please have some money. It does seem like a strong possibility that Selena Gomez will have a deaf ear.
