"Funny or Die," Selena Gomez and Nick Kroll parody the 2011 erotic novel "Fifty Shades of Grey."
In the original novel, a young woman falls for a wealthy but reserved entrepreneur and embarks on an unusual romantic and sexual journey.
The planned trilogy of novels first began as a piece of fan fiction inspired by the "Twilight" vampire novels and has received a mix of praise and ridicule from audiences.
Rather than falling for a sophisticated but introverted businessman, Gomez instead falls for Kroll, a blunt, disinterested house painter who has arrived at her home for some scheduled work. And he's not much to look at either, with fake acne scars on his face, and using his paintbrush to scratch his own belly button. Nonetheless, Gomez cannot help but fall for the "dominant" Kroll.
As Gomez narrates her growing affection, Kroll continues with his day job before finally noting, "For a girl that doesn't talk at all, you have full-on creeped me out."
Selena Gomez, 19, had already announced she was taking a break from singing to concentrate on her acting career. Today Selena, who starred in last year's hit film Monte Carlo, told her fans that she is splitting from her band Selena Gomez & The Scene.
"Just to clear up my last instagram post, my band and I are going our separate ways for a while. This year is all about films and acting and I want my band to play music wherever with whoever. We will be back but, it will be a good while. I love them and I love you guys :)," The post the Disney star was referring to was a cryptic note on her Webstagram page that she had posted one hour earlier.
It read: "I can't express enough how grateful I am for this group. They have been with me since day one and I can't believe it's actually over. I love you The Scene, marsh mellow girls, Ashley & Ashlee, Jivanta, Marco, Brian & Brian, mark, Jason, Javier, Timmy! Could NOT have done any of this without you. Currently bawling my eyes out. I'll miss you guys."
The band, who have released three albums together in three years, had just wrapped their South American tour.
Selena wrote on her Facebook page before taking to the stage for her final show with her band members: "This tour has been amazing, Thank you all for all the love and support you have shown me on this tour. Today is the last show but. ... I will be back. Love you all."
The acting career of Selena, who rose to fame in the Wizards of Waverly Place, is evidently taking off following her success in Monte Carlo alongside Leighton Meester.
She is also starring in thriller Aftershock, which is due for release next year, and a highly anticipated drama Spring Breakers, which is also set to hit cinemas in 2013.
The movie, which also stars Vanessa Hudgens, James Franco, Pretty Little Liars star Ashley Benson and Glee star Heather Morris, tells the story of four college girls who rob a restaurant in order to fund their Spring break. After they are bailed out by a drug and arms dealer, played by James Franco, they are forced to do some dirty work in order to repay him.
Pop Diva Selena Gomez's stalker has had his temporary restraining order extended for three years.
Los Angeles Superior Court Judge William D. Stewart ruled that Thomas Brodnicki must stay at least 100 yards away from the 19-year-old star and her family until 2015.
The ruling follows a temporary restraining order which was granted in November while Mr. Brodnicki was locked away in a Los Angeles hospital on a 5150 psychiatric hold - which can be enforced if a person is deemed to have a mental disorder which makes them a danger to themselves and/or others.
Although he has since been released, the defendant did not appear in court but last month filed a declaration acknowledging and consenting to the order.
Selena - who is dating popstar Justin Bieber - first requested the protective order last year after Brodnicki allegedly told a therapist God had ordered him to kill the Disney starlet.
Speaking about his obsession with Selena previously, he claimed they would one day be together.
He said: 'I'm very anti-material, I don't like even touching anything that isn't Selena Gomez.
'Selena Gomez and I are the holy chosen ones of God. I'm not overly concerned if I meet (Selena) in the flesh because it may be like scripture says ... 'No man has seen the face of God' ... Maybe us being together is too much like seeing the face of God.'
Teen Super star Selena Gomez ever stops by your house, you don’t have to bother taking down the dartboard you made out of her Seventeen cover. The bear trap with Selena’s name scrawled on it dozens of times, however… maybe slide that thing into the coat closet. “It’s a little odd, but I understand it completely,” the “Who Says” singer told Batimore’s Z104.3 about her man’s rabid supporters. “It’s amazing to me to see how many passionate fans there are. So obviously, you’ve just got to think of the fans first, and that’s OK.” Hmmm, all those Twitter death threats Selena received from Bieliebers seem to fall outside the realm of “OK,” but then again, we’ve never received one. Do you…do you guys just not like us as much?
Gomez instead looks on the bright side, musing that it’s “kind of cool we have our own individual [fans].” Sure, fans whom the authorities hope will never, ever run into each other in a darkened alley, West Side Story-style.
Selena Gomez's alleged stalker has been released from jail.
Thomas Brodnicki - who allegedly told a therapist God had ordered him to kill the 19-year-old star - has had the stalking case against him dismissed by a Los Angeles judge, as there was not enough evidence against him.
Los Angeles County District Attorney spokesperson Sandi Gibbons told E! News:
'After a preliminary hearing the judge over our strong objection ruled that the defendant lacked the intent to cause fear to the victim and dismissed the case. We are evaluating our next step.'
However, Brodnicki - who has a criminal history of stalking - does have a temporary restraining order in place, which forbids him to go within 100 yards of Selena.
A hearing on whether the order should be made permanent will be held on November 23.
As well as claiming God had told him to kill Selena, he also claimed he had travelled from Chicago to Los Angeles to meet her and 'visited her workplace at least three times'.
The Los Angeles Police Department were said to be treating the case 'extremely seriously' because of Brodnicki's history of stalking.
The teen singing sensations,who were spotted holding hands at Santa Monica Pier, California, on Sunday stopped off for an ice cream while on their romantic stroll, but Bieber was the perfect gentleman and insisted on paying for the 18-year-old Disney star’s tasty treat.
“Selena ordered a kid’s chocolate ice cream in a sugar cone,” a source said. “She tried to pay with her credit card, but Justin took it out of her hand and gave his card instead.
“Justin didn’t order anything. They were really quiet. Honestly, they seemed like very ordinary people.”
Despite tof their first public date, 16-year-old Justin who was recently believed to be romancing That’s So Raven actress Jasmine Villegas and Selena reportedly attracted quite a crowd of fans eager to learn whether they were a fully-fledged couple.
“They were quite the spectacle,” the source added. “Everyone was whispering and snapping pics and videos with their phones.”
With the pair having been spotted on a string of dates in recent weeks, Bieber admitted Selena was one of his “best friends”.
Selena Gomez received her first award nomination this morning when the MTV European Music Award nominees were made public.

Selena will have to battle pop sensation Justin Bieber, B.o.B, Ke$ha, Jason Derulo and Alexandra Burke for the award. The ceremony will take place in Caja Magica in Madrid, Spain on November 7th.
In a related news story, She is recently told British press that she protects her voice for every performance and practice with a gallop of olive oil!
She said "Before I go on stage, I drink olive oil,- It's disgusting, but it's good for your throat. Then I grab my band and we do vocal warm ups and dance."
Selena Gomez also helps to "protect" her band with another ritual, “We put ours hands together and say a little prayer [before each show],” she added .
