Selena Gomez at home during swatting scare

Singer/actress SELENA GOMEZ and her mother were left stunned when police swarmed their Los Angeles home on Friday (05Apr13) in response to an apparent prank call.
The Spring Breakers star became the latest victim of a 'swatting' hoax, in which callers phone 911 dispatchers to elicit an urgent response from authorities.
According to TMZ.com, Gomez's 'swatter' told emergency services the star's dad had killed her mom with a gun before threatening to burn the house down, but the 20 year old and her mom Mandy Teefey were unaware of the fake crime and "had no idea" why cops arrived at their door.
The scare came just two hours after officers rushed to Justin Timberlake's home to investigate a 911 call.
Gomez's ex-boyfriend Justin Bieber, as well as Paris Hilton, Tom Cruise, Clint Eastwood and Ashton Kutcher are among the stars who have fallen victim to 'swatting' in recent months.

Shakira, Selena Gomez Top Forbes Social Networking Superstars List

These days a celebrity’s social media presence can go a long way and Shakira, Selena Gomez and Crisitiano Ronaldo are all aware of this as the three Latinos have topped Forbes Social Networking Superstars.
The list includes Barbados vixen and pop singer Rihanna, who came in first place, along with Mother monster Lady Gaga in second place and Gomez’s boyfriend Justin Bieber in fourth.
Shakira earned the sixth slot. The Colombian singer, who is rumored to be pregnant with soccer star Gerard Piqué’s baby, has a solid Twitter following of 17.6 million and 52.5 million ‘friends’ on Facebook.
Trailing behind Shakira is Piqué’s teammate Cristiano Ronaldo, who was the only athlete to make the top 10 Social Networking Superstars List.
Ronaldo has 12 million Twitter followers and has 47.5 million ‘friends’ on Facebook. According to Forbes, Ronaldo is the most popular athlete on social media. The Portuguese soccer player often takes time to thank his fans for their support and his gratitude for being able to play soccer professionally.
Coming in at No. 10 is Gomez. SelGo’s fans base of Twitter followers is at 12.3 million.
The singer/actress has 33 million Facebook ‘friends.’ Forbes says Gomez makes the cut because she wisely uses social media to promote her other ventures such as the company which she has invested in called Postcard On the Run.
Sexy singer Jennifer Lopez didn’t make the Social Networking Superstars List but she did top Forbes Celebrity 100 list in May.
JLO brought in a whopping $52 million plus and has become the face of hot endorsements everywhere, from jewelry to cars, audio systems and fragrances.
This is the first time that Lopez makes the coveted spot on the prestigious magazine.
