Pop superstar Selena Gomez surprised students at a Colorado high school to support a local volleyball team who publically pleaded for the actress to attend.
Gomez made the unannounced visit at Telluride High School over the weekend while she was in town to promote her movie “Emilia Pérez” and students posted a bright orange sign asking her to perform the national anthem — suggesting two potential times between Aug. 30 and Aug 31.
“They asked!! Couldn’t help it, it’s my first time in Telluride!” the Emmy award-nominee posted on her social media.

The “Only Murders in the Building” actress posted a carousel of the event with a video showing her walking into the gym and shocking the teenage athletes playing on the court. In the same clip, fans in the stands rushed onto the floor to greet her.

“I saw the sign and so I had to come,” Gomez told the shocked team.
The former child star posed for pictures with the team and signed autographs — including a forehead —at the school in the small town located in Colorado’s Rocky Mountains.

The 32-year-old “Come & Get It” singer is appearing at the Telluride Film Festival this weekend for a screening of Jacques Audiard’s new film “Emilia Pérez,” which she stars in alongside Zoe Saldaña.
The movie, scheduled to hit select theaters in November, was filmed in the Spanish language and dubbed as a comedy, drama and musical. It received an 11-minute standing ovation at the Cannes Film Festival in May.
“The kindest heart indeed,” Saldana commented on Gomez’s post.

Gomez’s record producer boyfriend, Benny Blanco, also offered praise and commented with three heart emojis.
Engagement rumors between the actress and Blanco, 36, have recently been swirling after Gomez was spotted casually leaving a Subway in Los Angeles on Sep. 29 with a plain gold band on her ring finger as she held her phone, chips and sunglasses.

Deuxmoi fueled the speculation by sharing a tip that Blanco reportedly proposed to the singer at a beach house “surrounded by friends.”
Less than two weeks before the gold ring sighting, fans on TikTok noticed her account followed CMG Weddings & Events, a “luxury” wedding-planning business that’s known for putting on events in Napa, San Francisco and Los Angeles. As of this article, she still follows the event business.
In May, Blanco told SiriusXM’s “The Howard Stern Show” that he wanted to start a family with her and they even discuss it “every day.”

As panic over Venezuelan gangs in the community continues to spread, Aurora police visited an apartment complex Friday to reassure neighbors that officers are there for them. Meanwhile, the mayor is taking a much tougher approach.
On Friday, the City of Aurora released video of Interim Police Chief Heather Morris and a cadre of officers meeting with residents at an apartment complex that has been at the center of media and online discussions about Venezuelan gang activity.
“We’re out here because we care,” Morris said. “We want to reassure the people who live in this community that we are actively investigating criminal activity and listening to them.”

Earlier in the week, a former resident came forward with security video showing men with large guns and said she doesn’t feel the police are taking the issue seriously.
“There have been so many occasions that I’ve called the police while I’m sitting in my window watching the crime take place, and they will call me and say, ‘I’m sorry, but we’re not coming,’” Cindy Romero said.
Her car was even shot before Aurora City Council Member Danielle Jurinsky helped her find a new place to live. Jurinsky, who has been insisting for weeks that apartments in the city are being overrun by dangerous Venezuelan gangs, says the police and city need to act before someone gets hurt or killed.
“I have had city leaders give interviews, essentially trying to make it seem like I’ve made this entire thing up,” Jurinsky said. “I think that politics is being played here with people’s lives.”

On Friday, Aurora Mayor Mike Coffman posted online that the Aurora City Attorney’s Office will request an emergency court order to clear the apartment buildings.
Coffman also noted that while he is ready to take action, the apartment complexes that have experienced the most trouble are owned by the same out-of-state owner and have a history of crime that predates the trouble with the Venezuelan gangs.

Aurora police say it never denied that Venezuelan gangs exist in the city and have a task force to handle the situation, but the department believe the problem is being overstated.

“I’m not saying there are no gang members living in this community, but what we’re learning is that gang members have not taken over this complex,” Morris said.
