Did you know that Selena Gomez had a kidney transplant this summer?

It is from her lupus. I like Selene Gomez. I rarely hear of lupus being this severe. She has been such a trooper. I would have never guessed. She was at an award ceremony a few days ago and gave her award to the friend who donated her kidney.

She's so young.

harder, more dangerous, and a longer recovery period for the donor. I've known some. There was a Curb Your Enthusiasm on that. Larry gave a kidney to Richard. Larry was still in the hospital while Richard was out chasing gals. Anyway, both are brave women and Justin B finally got her back.
Obviously, he is madly in love with her. Sort of sweet.

They gave Grace Vanderwaal the rising star award and I was in tears through her acceptance speech, but I was in good company, Kelly Clarkson was practically sobbing. Nice to see such a wonderful role model for young women, and all the strong women that were in that room tonight.
