Selena Gomez debuts swimsuit designed to cover transplant scar, plus more news

Selena Gomez designs scar-covering swimsuit

For years, Selena Gomez counted her assistant-turned-bestie, Theresa Mingus, as an important part of her support system. Now, the singer — who recently endured a kidney transplant and battles with lupus-related depression and anxiety — is in support mode for Theresa. Ahead of the Thursday, May 2, launch of Theresa's first swimwear line, Selena designed three custom suits for the collection, according to People. Dubbed "Selena x Krahs Swim," the line is aimed at flattering every size and shape without being too pricey (they range from $39.99 to $69.99) Selena's items include a one-piece, a pair of high-waisted bottoms and a sexy, low-cut bikini top, according to People. She told the magazine she designed them in the hopes of creating something that could cover up the scar left by her transplant surgery. "I did have a really good time designing," she told People. "It was fun. The design I did, one of them, it was the high-waisted one with the belt. I've had a kidney transplant and I like bathing suits that kind of cover where that's been and make me feel comfortable." She continued: "Every woman wants to feel sexy. Every woman wants to feel confident and beautiful," Mingus tells Gomez during a video they filmed together. "I definitely want to have a variety of different pieces so everyone can wear them." Selena also took some time ahead of the launch to post about her friendship with Theresa. Sharing an old black and white photo of the two, the singer wrote, "I met Theresa 5 years ago. We worked together and became best friends. She has taught me how to see life in a fun, carefree and uplifting way. She has shown me how to be a strong and fearless woman. She is beautiful, kind and smart. I saw how capable she was of achieving her dreams. I wanted nothing more than to see her pursue them and soar. And here you are making it happen T. I love you and I am so proud of you."

Why Eva Longoria gave up trying to keep her son off social media

Santiago Baston has officially taken over Eva Longoria's social media. "It's no longer my Instagram," Eva joked while chatting with ET this week. "It's so funny because before he was born my husband and I said, 'We're not going to post too much. We're going to keep that life private.' And everyday I'm like, 'I have to post this! This is so cute!' Yeah, that totally went out the window." Eva's also looking forward to her first Mother's Day as a mom of honor on May 12, though she admits she doesn't need a holiday to be thankful for the little man she shares with her her hubby, Jose Baston. "My heart is filled every day," Eva gushed. "The joy of my son and kissing him and squeezing him and smelling him every single day. Mother's Day is everyday!" Father's Day sounds a bit trickier, given Eva's habit of keeping Santiago all to herself. "I don't share him very much. I hog him all the time," she joked. "I'm always traveling with him. I'm actually going to be in Cannes this year with him on Mother's Day, so he'll be with me and I'll be hogging him all to my self. That's my gift. Just to be able to spend time with him." Eva and Jose welcomed Santiago on June 19, 2018.

Oprah Winfrey reveals baby gift plans for Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan

Let's hope Duchess Meghan and Prince Harry saved some serious room for books in their baby-to-be's nursery at Frogmore Cottage. Because Oprah Winfrey already has a baby gift plan in mind — and she's not known for going low-key, when it comes to presents. Speaking to "Access Hollywood" this week, Oprah, who attended Harry and Meghan's wedding, explained that she has "a standard gift that I do for people that I really care about." It seems the prince and former "Suits" star fall into that category, possibly in part because of the mental health project Oprah's been working with Harry on in recent months. As for the baby gift, she added: "So I don't know the baby's name or the baby's gender, but this baby will have enough books to last a lifetime!"

Celine Dion on why she wept at a Valentino show

Celine Dion has spoken openly about her struggle coming to terms with the death of her husband, Renee Angelil. In fact, she remains so distraught about losing him, she couldn't help but weep when, during the Valentino Spring Couture show, they played a song the longtime couple included in the festivities when they tied the knot. "The first song was 'The First Time I Ever Saw Your Face,' which was part of my wedding. The music starts and this dream comes, a lady, a beautiful rose," Celine recalls in Elle's new cover story. "All you saw was her face in this amazing pink gown … It was so emotional; I was speechless. I didn't want to cry. I was worried Mr. Valentino was looking at my reaction. To be honest, it felt like I was making a scene, but I was overwhelmed." Which is not to say everything is still looking bleak for the singer. "Now I am discovering myself more and more. I am a woman assuming her own destiny, full of energy and in love with life. It's never too late to start. At 51, I have the sense that I am at my pinnacle!" she declares. She's also come to see she has to take a proactive role in her music, as in her personal life. "I had a great time when I recorded 20 years ago, but now I really feel like I can speak up," Celine says. "If I'm not part of my own project, what am I really doing here? Crying at Valentino and spending money on clothes?"
