Selena Gomez Continues to Hang with Teen Boys, Grabs Dinner with Jaden Smith

Selena Gomez, Jaden Smith

Selena Gomez had dinner with Jaden Smith Thursday night at Hakkasan in London — and that's a little bit strange.

The two were spotted exiting the restaurant and then, according to the Huffington Post, they were turned away from Boujis nightclub because Smith is underage. And therein lies the problem: Gomez is 20, Smith is... 14. Does Gomez not have any friends her own age? She just starred in Spring Breakers — why doesn't she call fellow former Disney diva Vanessa Hudgens? They can reminisce about the good old days of family-friendly programming.

Twelve things you don't need to pay for

One of the best ways to save money is to never pay for anything you can get for free. Here are 12 things that you could end up paying for but don't need to.
1. Reclaiming PPI

There are a multitude of companies offering to help you claim your money back if you have been a victim of payment protection insurance mis-selling. Most of these firms will take a percentage of whatever compensation you may be eligible for – usually 25% – and on top of that there can be other charges. If you do the legwork yourself it won't cost you anything, except perhaps the price of a postage stamp. Our guide on how to reclaim PPI can help you determine whether to make the claim yourself.

Kim Kardashian's baby shower: that invitation in full

Lost in Showbiz has a position on baby showers, which is that it basically doesn't do them. In the annals of irksome American cultural imports they easily outstrip little leaguers such as Gwyneth Paltrow or people saying "parsta". You decide to have a baby: you buy that shiz yourself.

Like all my hard and fast rules, though, it would obviously be broken in a heartbeat if it looked like there was a hilarious life experience in it. Consequently, I regard the invitation to Kim Kardashian's baby shower as marginally more covetable than one to Truman Capote's Black and White Ball would have been.

Amanda Bynes: "I Don't Drink or Do Drugs," I Need a Second Nose Job

Amanda Bynes: "I Don't Drink or Do Drugs," I Need a Second Nose Job

Without a publicist on her payroll, Amanda Bynes is doing her own damage control. Less than 24 hours after the actress was arrested in New York City, the 27-year-old denied any wrongdoing via Twitter. Bynes was charged with marijuana possession, attempted evidence tampering and reckless endangerment on Friday, May 24.

"I only smoke tobacco I don't drink or do drugs," the Easy A star insisted, attempting to discredit a police report that said she threw a bong out of her apartment window. "I've never had a bong in my life! I need to get another nose job after seeing my mugshot!" (Bynes first revealed she went under the knife via Twitter May 5. "I had a nose job to remove skin that was like a webbing in between my eyes," she explained at the time.)

TAYLOR SWIFT SLAPS AMY POEHLER

Taylor Swift, still angry about the Golden Globes, slapped Amy Poehler in a Hollywood restaurant.

Sources say that Taylor Swift is at war with Amy Poehler and Tina Fey. She is lashing out at them for joking about her at the Golden Globes earlier this year. At the show, the two women joked that boy-crazy Swift should “stay away from Michael J. Fox’s son,” who was a trophy boy at the ceremony.

The audience thought it was hilarious … Taylor didn’t.
