Selena Gomez brings that 'it factor' to Arts Center on Saturday - Asbury Park Press

Dear Selena Gomez,

We love your work on the Disney Channel?s ?Wizards of Waverly Place.? Your Alex Russo is a wholesome-but-real take on a Harry Potter-type wizard dealing with teenage troubles in Greenwich Village.

It?s too bad the current Season 4 will be the last, but you?re moving on to bigger things now.

Like films. You starred in last summer?s ?Ramona & Beezus,? and this summer?s ?Monte Carlo.? You?re a movie star now. Heck, your name is even being floated to star in a ?Sex & the City? prequel called ?The Carrie Diaries? with Blake Lively.

Then there?s the music. Your single ?Who Says,? a nice, catchy, mid-tempo popper, went platinum and you?re on a major concert tour, which comes to the PNC Bank Arts Center in Holmdel on Saturday (Aug. 20).

But there?s something beyond the music and the movies that draws fans to you. Your name seems to be trending daily and you picked up five Teen Choice Awards (including Choice Female Hottie) earlier this month, more than nearly everyone else including boyfriend Justin Bieber (more about him later). Yep, Selena, you have that ?it factor? that makes people want to know more.

What would they learn? You were born 19 years ago in Grand Prairie, Texas, and you were named after the legendary Mexican-American singer Selena. That must be from your dad, who is Mexican-American. An early break for you came when you got a role on ?Barney & Friends? and later you started popping up on Disney Channel shows such as ?The Suite Life of Zack & Cody? and even ?Hannah Montana.? You started starring on ?Wizards? in 1997, and well, here we are.

And what we find ?here? are some things that have raised our eyebrows. Like Biebs. We know it?s not a matter of whether we approve or not, it?s about how you feel. But Selena, the PDAs on the beach in the bathing suits, well, they?re a little hard to take. We know you?re 19 and Biebs is 17 (just a thought, but does that make you a cougar in training?) and you guys are grown up now, but we still kind of see you as Alex, wizard kid in training. But we?ll get over it.

Seriously, though, we were upset when you had the hospital visit in June. Too much junk food, you said, and your busy schedule had left you malnourished. Whatever. Selena, you?re bright and good and smart. Why, you were the youngest UNICEF ambassador ever and you traveled to Ghana on your first field mission in 2009. You also know your music history, citing the 40th anniversary of George Harrison?s Concert for Bangladesh as the first major music concert for a cause on Twitter last week.

Selena, to bring joy to others, you must feel joy inside. Here?s hoping, sidetracks aside, that you?ll have a long and joyous career.

Sincerely,

an admirer in New Jersey

Charlie Sheen's TV death brings laughter and tears

By Tim Kenneally

LOS ANGELES (TheWrap.com) - At Charlie Sheen's faux funeral on "Two and a Half Men," there will definitely be tears -- of laughter.

While CBS and Warner Bros. Television have remained stubbornly tight-lipped about the upcoming season premiere of "Two and a Half Men" -- which taped last Friday, and airs on September 19 -- Sheen's former co-star Jon Cryer appeared on Los Angeles television station KTLA to discuss the series reboot.

The new season reportedly will open with a funeral for Sheen's character, playboy jingle-writer Charlie Harper, and according to Cryer, Harper's demise will be a laugh-riot.

"I'm not allowed to say much about it," Cryer said, before divulging, "I can tell you this, it's funny."

Reports last week indicated that Sheen's character would meet his demise by being nudged in front of a train in Paris by his new bride Rose, after getting caught cheating -- resulting in a "meat explosion."

Without revealing specifics, Cryer noted that the farewell won't be as gruesome as all that. He also said that at Friday's taping, his new co-star Ashton Kutcher "tore the roof off the joint."

Sheen is surprisingly enthusiastic about getting killed off from the hit series. The 45 year-old actor -- who's gearing up to star in a sitcom based on the Jack Nicholson movie "Anger Management" -- told TMZ on Wednesday that he's "honored" to be going out in such a locomotive fashion.

"I am honored that it took something as large and violent as an oncoming train to terminate my character," Sheen said. "Anything less would have been an insult!"
