Make a wish, because Selena Gomez is putting a Latinx spin on the John Hughes classic Sixteen Candles.

Together with collaborators Tanya Saracho and Gabriela Revilla Lugo, the pop star is developing a new half-hour sitcom titled 15 Candles, which will take a page from the 1984 coming-of-age movie starring Molly Ringwald.

According to Variety, the comedy series “will follow four young Latinas in high school, navigating feelings of invisibility while exploring what it means to leave childhood behind as quinceañera season approaches.” Gomez will serve as executive producer on the project, which is headed to NBC streamer Peacock, while Saracho and Lugo are both expected

The Latinx-inspired take on Sixteen Candles is hardly Gomez’s first foray into television production. From 2017 to 2020, the starlet executive produced the Netflix adaptation of 13 Reasons Why, and she’s currently pulling double duty as star and executive producer of Hulu’s Only Murders in the Building alongside Steve Martin and Martin Short. (For her role as Mabel Mora, Gomez also received a Critics’ Choice Awards nomination for best actress in a comedy series.

Sometimes we want to be free with people and share our things with them. Sharing is not a bad thing to do but there are some personal things we should never share with our friends or with family members. When we do this, it's not because we are greedy or we don't want to share. According to Healthline, some things can't just be shared for medical reasons. If we do, there's the possibility of developing diseases and because of this, it's better we don't share them at all. Lipstick or lip gloss: This is common for ladies, whenever a lady forgets her make up kits at home, she would try to borrow them from her friend. If everything would be borrowed, lipstick or lip gloss shouldn't be among them. Diseases like herpes can easily be developed while sharing our lipstick or lip gloss.

According to Church Gist, the cleric spoke against those who reduce their ages just to get and enjoy some benefits. He advised them against it and claimed that he never changed or reduced his age. He said that most people tell him that he is older than them and he looks at them and doubts. "But I know my correct age, I didn't reduce my age, this is my correct age. Whatever age I am showing you is my correct age. But I know people who are older than me that are my mates, some are even my Junior. Now, even if you reduce your age, don't you know your exact age.
