Selena Gomez Reportedly Turned Down A ‘Wizards Of Waverly Place’ Spinoff & Co-Star Jennifer Stone Reveals “I’m Not Sure If Sel Even Remembers…”


Wizards of Waverly Place star Jennifer Stone recently revealed Selena Gomez reportedly turned down the show’s spinoff
Selena Gomez’s Alex Russo and Jennifer Stone’s Harper Finkle’s friendship in Wizards of Waverly Place was indeed something that every teenager looked up to. The duo set best friends goals in the show and left everyone in awe of their bond. While the show ended over a decade ago, Stone recently revealed that the creators once planned an Alex-Harper spinoff, but Selena refused to do it.

Selena began her career while she was just a kid with the show Barney and Friends from 2002 to 2004. She further continued to do small gigs and later ventured into music under Disney. The singer-actress also signed up for Wizards of Waverly Place’s soundtrack alongside starring in it.
Coming back, following its massive popularity, actor David DeLuise, who played the role of Jerry Russo on the show, hosts a podcast called Wizards of Waverly Pod. For his latest edition, the actor invited actress-turned-nurse Jennifer Stone to take the viewers back to the sitcom and discussed a spinoff that the audience missed due to Selena Gomez.

During the show, Jennifer Stone was answering fans’ questions, when one suggested an Alex and Harper spinoff. In her reply, Stone said, “Now, I don’t know how true this is, but I was told that it was pitched to Selena Gomez.” She continued, “And I’ll have to ask her this. I’ve actually never asked her this, but I was told that it was pitched to Selena to do a Harper/Alex spinoff and she said no, ’cause she had a lot of other things going on.”
However, Jennifer Stone was not entirely sure if it was true and said, “That’s what I was told. I don’t know how true that is. I don’t know if that really happened. I’m not sure if Selena even remembers that.” When the host suggested Jennifer and Selena had a reunion when they visited their apartment, she replied, “I think they were setting up for that. That’s why somebody was like oh yeah, they thought about that and approached her before they like got into the process of it.”

While the spinoff would have been a good idea, Stone mentioned how Selena Gomez had a lot on her plate in the past decade and they both wanted to explore more in their careers. She said, “Looking back, it would have been great, but the thing is is like, where we both were at that time, we just wanted to explore other things.”
For the unversed, the Wolves singer made an appearance on te podcast earlier this year and mentioned how she regrets not staying in touch with her Wizards of Waverly Place co-stars. She added that she had the best time of her life on the show and loves her colleagues.

‘I am officially off the market’: When Margot Robbie revealed she made the ‘conscious’ decision of not dating actors


Margot Robbie revealed her decision to not date actors because of the media scrutiny that came with a public relationship of two high-profile actors
Back in 2015, A-lister Margot Robbie made a declaration that she would not be dating any actors. The actress may have alluded to her fiance Tom Ackerley, who she married the following year in 2016. In an exclusive interview with Marie Claire, she revealed that being in a relationship as an actor herself came with its own set of challenges. She believed that dating someone who was popular would add on to the media scrutiny.

Margot Robbie opened up on why she made a conscious decision to not date actorsTalking to Marie Claire, she claimed, “I am officially off the market.” She then shared the reasoning behind her decision and added, “I made a conscious decision not to date actors.” She continued to explain, “But not because I hate actors. That’s a nasty generalization to make, and that’s not the case. People take such an interest in your love life when you have a profile, it puts a lot of stress on a relationship.”
The Barbie actress continued, “So two people with profiles, I figure it’s just double the amount of scrutiny, and I’d like to avoid that at all costs.” This came after reports of her locking lips with Tarzan co-star Alexander Skarsgard started making rounds. It was reported that she was caught kissing the actor during the Sundance Film Festival.

Margot Robbie revealed she opted for a minimal lifestyle even after becoming an actorIn the interview, Robbie also opened up about how she was adapting to fame. She shared, “I have a normal 24-year-old life. If I were a waitress, I’d probably have the exact same lifestyle. I’d go to the same clubs I go to already, live in the same house with the same housemates, hang out with the same people.”
However, Margot Robbie tied the knot with Tom Ackerley who is an English producer and actor. The duo met on the sets of 2013 movie Suite Francaise where Tom was working as an assistant director. Post marriage, both of them launched their production company LuckyChap Entertainment.

‘Rocky’ Was Quite Different In His Original Screenplay, Sylvester Stallone Claims


Sylvester Stallone took his friend’s advice on a rewrite of the original screenplay to Rocky. A few tweaks later, he was on his way to major success.
In the new Netflix documentary Sly, Stallone discussed how he initially conceived of the project, which had a much harder edge. In the early version, Rocky was depicted as a “thuggish” character, inspired by Martin Scorsese’s crime drama, Mean Streets.

But Stallone’s perspective changed when a friend read the script and thought the boxer was too cruel for audiences to actually care about him.
Stallone recalled her crying.

“She goes, ‘I hate Rocky. I hate him. He’s cruel. He hits people. He beats them up.’”
Stallone took it to heart, and asked what he could do to soften the character.

“I said, ‘what if you stop short of it?’ Like, maybe he almost did. He could have, that’s his job, but he doesn’t?’ ‘That’d be nice,’” he added. “I said, ‘What if he had a girlfriend or something?’ ‘Yeah, that’s nice.’ So I go back, start writing that: ‘Girlfriend. Nice.’”
$117 million in box office later, a franchise was born.

Stallone also revealed that actor Dolph Lundgren sent him to the hospital during one fight scene in Rocky IV.
“Dolph Lundgren… he pulverized me,” Stallone says in the documentary. “Later that night, my heart started to swell—which happens when the heart hits the chest—and then my blood pressure went up to 260, and they thought I was going to be talking to angels. Next thing I know, I’m in intensive care, where I’m surrounded by nuns, and I thought, ‘OK, that’s curtains.’”
Stallone was in the hospital for nine days following the incident, praying for “one more round.”
“For the first minute of the fight, it is going to be a free-for-all,” Stallone told Lundgren. The Swedish actor joked in a separate interview that all he did was “obey orders,” explaining, “[Stallone] was the boss. I did what he told me.”
Doctors allegedly told Stallone that he received a blow to the ribs that made his heart rattle around in his ribcage, a condition typically seen in head-on collisions. “I did hit a bus, of sorts,” Stallone joked.
