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.

Reasons Why Cancer Patients Do Cut Off Their Hair

You may not understand how valuable your hair is until it gets taken gone. According to MayoClinic, hair loss is a very likely side effect if you have cancer and are going to begin chemotherapy. Hair loss is one of the most prevalent side effects for both men and women after a cancer diagnosis. Chemotherapy is a type of treatment that focuses on cancer cells that are quickly growing. Unfortunately, these medicines also target other fast-growing cells in your body, including your hair roots. According to healthline, Chemotherapy can result in hair loss all over the body, not just on the scalp. Hair on the eyelashes, pubic, eyebrows, armpits and other parts of the body might fall out at any time. Some chemotherapy medicines cause more hair loss than others, and varying doses can cause thinning to complete baldness. Hair loss usually begins two to four weeks after starting treatment. It could either fall out all at once or overtime. Loose hair will most likely show up on your pillow, in y...

No Student Was Raped Under Our Watch’ — Chrisland School Finally Reacts To Sex Scandal

-

We have followed up on reports making the rounds on certain developments bordering on the morals and ethics of some of the students under our care, who represented the school at the World School games, Dubai between 8 and 14 of March 2022. While we understand the emotions this has generated, we assure the public that our first approach as an institution was to assume parental roles by offering support to those involved and ensuring that nothing affected their senses of esteem. However, after a comprehensive evaluation of the situation, we cannot help but express how scandalised and distressed we feel as mothers, fathers and instructors with a relationship that holds a direct bearing on the development of those involved. Nonetheless, we took a critical view of the number of students who partook in this recent trip and who did the school proud in our quest to expand the horizons of our students holistically through global exposure, which takes into account a wholesome development of the ...

ASUU and Nigerian education

-

Leadership of Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) led by its’ President, Biodun Ogunyemi Chief Obafemi Jeremiah Oyeniyi Awolowo (1909 – 1987) was Premier of the Western Region from 1952 to1959, seven years in total, yet the profound influence he has on Nigerian education lingers on from the 20th to the 21st Century. Perhaps it would be there forever, nobody can say. Therefore, it is possible for a thoughtful policy to influence any aspect of society. So with the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU). It does not matter if the policy was followed or not, by future governments or institutions. In the case of ASUU, it was not followed. In spite of that, ASUU has influenced not only the universities but both the primary and secondary education. I am not sure of pre-primary education. ASUU was formed in 1987 not only to look after the welfare of the members of the intellectual class of the universities, but also the welfare of Nigerians altogether. They did this by joining the...
