SELENA GOMEZ SELLING BUNGALOW: After buying a home in Studio City, California just over a year ago, Selena Gomez has decided to ditch the property. According to Variety, she’s putting the barely-used bungalow on the market for $2.8 million after purchasing it for $2.5 million. The home has three bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms, as well as a detached guest house with another bathroom. There’s also a fitness room/yoga studio, an outside kitchen and laundry room, and a swimming pool and spa. Selena previously sold her Calabasas, California, compound to rapper French Montana for $3.3 million in 2016.

LIAM PAYNE EXPLAINS WHY HIS DEBUT SOLO ALBUM IS TAKING SO LONG: If you’ve been waiting for Liam Payne’s debut solo album, he has a good reason for why he took his time with it. “The album is all finished,” he tells Billboard. “The reason we waited, and I discussed it with my label, is the way the vibe kind of works – the more songs we have, the more songs people listen to, [then] the more songs we get sent when producers call and say, ‘You’d sound good on this’.” He says that by waiting, he was able to get two or three more songs and collaborations – including one that will be released as a single. “So if we hadn’t waited, we would’ve missed out on the single, so I’m happy I waited for some producers to discover me,” he says. Liam adds that the album, due out September 14, will be an “eclectic” mix of different genres. Liam, whose song “Familiar” with J Balvin is out now, says one more single will be released before the album drops and it will be “completely different than what I’ve done so far.”
