Oreo recently teamed up with Post Malone for his own limited-edition cookies . . . and now Selena Gomez has an Oreo to call her own: A Horchata Oreo.
(Horchata is a Mexican beverage typically made with milk, cinnamon, and rice.)
The cookies are chocolate-cinnamon flavored with two layers of creme. One layer is chocolate-cinnamon flavored and the other has a sweetened condensed milk flavor with cinnamon sugar.
Each cookie will have one of six embossed designs, including Selena's signature, a pair of headphones, a heart-shaped vinyl record, and "Selenators", which is what her fans are called.
Selena says, quote, "Growing up, horchata was one of those comforting things for me. Some of my favorite childhood memories involve drinking horchata with my family . . . And trust me, it tastes even better dipped in milk."
She also added that her fiancé Benny Blanco was part of the tasting process. And that Oreo will be donating to her mental health organization, the Rare Impact Fund.
The cookies will be available for pre-sale on June 2nd, and will start hitting shelves on June 9th.

There is a pizza place (beloved) in the area where you do need to napkin some of the grease off, it's part of the wonderfulness that the slice is, Well, Paris Hilton has a different quote, unquote hack for you.
She likes to take her slice and slap it cheese side down onto the outside lid of the cardboard box it came in. She presses it in, and then repeats it onto a different spot on the box. Voila.
Impressed? Probably not. Here are some of the best responses from fans:
"That box is not clean. The Heiress to the Hilton hotel didn't have a napkin?"
"Remember when you ironed a grilled cheese on 'The Simple Life'? This is the same vibe."
"On the outside of the box? Girl use the inside, it is more absorbent and cleaner."

Game movies are big right now. Mattel is ready for the next one.
Whac-A-Mole.
(wasn't this already done?? I give you Caddyshack)
There's no word yet on a plot. It's not clear if Mattel even HAS a plot figured out yet.
In a press release, they said, quote, "Whac-A-Mole is more than a game, it's a laugh-out-loud battle of reflexes that has brought joy and a little chaos to families for five decades.
"We're beyond excited to . . . turn the iconic experience into a wild, action-packed ride for the big screen."
Before that, we are getting movies based on Matchbox cars and He-Man and the Masters of the Universe.

Reddit.com's question is What movie emotionally destroyed you.
"Fox and the Hound" (1981)
"All Dogs Go to Heaven" (1989)
"Up" (2009) (and that's just the first 10 minutes!!!)
"The Land Before Time" (1988)
"Where the Red Fern Grows" (1974) (this one destroyed me as a child)
"Big Fish" (2003)
"Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" (2004)
"Saving Private Ryan" (1998)
"Coco" (2017)
"Atonement" (2007)
PS. Many of these movies feature a pet dying, and it seems there is a website that can help you prevent any emotional damage. It's pretty up to day on movies as it has Flow which states This movie contains 31 potentially triggering events.

Do you have any weird rules you made up for yourself when you were younger that you still follow? It can be for a good reason, or no reason at all. But you decided it was a personal rule. No one made you do it.
Reddit asked.
If you need to retie one shoelace, you must retie the other one. If you don't, you'll end up with one shoe that feels too tight, and one that's too loose.
Each armpit gets the same number of deodorant swipes. If you do six swipes on your left pit, your right one also gets six swipes.
When you meet someone, you can't swear in front of them until they swear in front of you. But once they swear, go wild.
If you wake up in the middle of the night, you're not allowed to look at the time. If you know what time it is, you'll get anxious and won't fall back asleep.
When you're eating, save a bite of your favorite thing for last. Like maybe that last bite of mashed potatoes just to finish on a high note.
Never use a fake excuse like, "I can't go, my grandma is sick." Because if she DOES get sick, you'll feel like you caused it.
This one's nice: "If I find a penny on the ground but it's not heads up, I turn it heads up so the next person can have a little luck."
I do the if it's heads up keep it, if it's tails up you have to give it to someone and you'll both have good luck.
You can't brag about a random act of kindness. If you tell someone about it, it cancels out the good karma.
