    Selena Gomez personally stayed off social media for her 26th birthday this weekend, but her friends thoroughly documented her multiple celebrations. On Saturday night, the eve of her actual birthday, Gomez went to an Imagine Dragons concert at the Forum arena in Inglewood, California. The band's opener, Grace VanderWaal, arranged for a surprise backstage celebration for Gomez and shared multiple photos of it on her Instagram. "Huge HAPPY BIRTHDAY TODAY 4 SELENA!!!!!!!!!! Thank for everything I hope you have the best day bebegurllllllll," she wrote in her caption.

    That was nice, but yesterday, Gomez's actual birthday, featured the main, very lavish fête. Gomez had a birthday dinner with her friends on a yacht in Newport Beach. Guests included good friends Raquelle Stevens, Courtney J. Barry, Sam Lopez, and Connar Franklin. Several shared photos of Gomez with them:

    Eagle-eyed fans also noticed that hot producer she's been hanging with since her Italy vacation, Andrea Iervolino, appeared to be right next to her in one of the Instagram stories her friends shared. The repeat appearances suggest the two have become good friends since their trip at the very least...

    The entire party seemed to be Italian-themed, from the "Buon Compleanno, Selena" ("happy birthday" in Italian) banner that appeared in polaroids from the party to the copious amounts of pasta served that Gomez's assistant Theresa Mingus shared on her Instagram story:

    The celebration was even bi-coastal, as Gomez's friend Taylor Swift shared the birthday cake she had to celebrate Gomez's big day all the way from New York City.

    Gomez will likely head back out that way, as she's shooting a zombie comedy film in upstate New York City for the next couple weeks.

    Ann Coulter: Trump Trying 'To Scam The Stupidest People In His Base'

    Byte Me: Asked Friday about the power of conservative media over his decision-making, Trump claimed not to know Coulter, much to the surprise of many Twitter users who reacted in astonishment and amusement on the social media platform. Aside from the newly democrat Coulter, a handful of Trump’s Fox News allies initially expressed frustration with the congressional deal on border security, which the president intends to sign. On Monday night shortly after the agreement was announced, Sean Hannity trashed it as a “garbage compromise” and Laura Ingraham called it “pathetic.” Lou Dobbsechoed the disapproval, tweeting that it was “an insult to @POTUS and the American people.” The proposal will give the president $1.375 billion for his border wall while slashing the number of Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention beds by roughly 17 percent. Trump plans to get ahold of billions more in border funding with his national emergency.
