Selena Gomez Rehab Program Not Completed; Star Bailed Early, Report Indicates

Selena Gomez left rehab just two weeks into a six-week program, according to a new report, failing to complete the course of treatment she checked in for. The 21-year-old ignored the advice of medical professionals and the strenuous objections of the rehab staff and walked out of there just 14 days in. Selena Gomez in Rehab: Why? In early January, Selena Gomez checked into rehab at The Meadows for what is believed to be problems with alcohol, pot and prescription Ambien. All of which can be traced back to her unhealthy relationship Justin Bieber, both in terms of her strained emotions and her exposure to his lifestyle. We only recently learned she sought treatment, though, and that’s largely due to the fact that Selena bailed so she could go the Sundance Film Festival. She was only in treatment for two weeks , and reportedly told her people she would return to the rehab facility after Sundance, only she didn’t do so. Gomez decided she was cured, apparently, and felt there was no reason to return. The Meadows doesn’t see eye-to-eye with her on that, though. The treatment program is 45 days for a reason, and with Selena bailing four weeks early, they don’t believe she has completed the therapy or recovered. Selena feels she completed the toughest week, the initial period which the facility calls “Survivor’s week” so everything is fine … the staff disagrees. Selena Gomez: Justin Bieber “Disgusting”! The Meadows, a facility that specializes in young adults struggling with trauma or addiction, may have a point, as she was “partying very hard” beforehand. Aside from staying out late, Gomez was into marijuana and pills, with friends and family members “increasingly worried that there might be a serious problem.” It just got to a point where she had to get away from the pressure of her career and those “who had become a bad influence on her,” an insider said. Bieber. A mole says that Justin and Selena would “smoke marijuana regularly” and that Gomez was left “broken-hearted” by her split from her fellow star. Sources close to Gomez say her camp went ballistic when they found out she was back together with Justin, and that she checked into rehab after that. The two reportedly got into a text message war (below) last month involving his wild ways, and his camp reportedly warned Justin to stay away from her . Whomever or whatever is to blame for the struggles these two young stars are having, clearly they’re not the best influences on each other at the moment … Justin Bieber Texts to Selena Gomez?

Game of Thrones’ Natalia Tena Seems Fun [PIC]

British actress Natalia Tena plays the “wildling” Osha on HBO’s Game of Thrones , and in a new interview with the UK’s Independent newspaper, she reveals herself to be exactly the kind of brash, bold, foul-mouthed woman you could picture yourself having a few pints with. Asked about her full-frontal scene (above) on Season 2 of GoT , Natalia didn’t mince words. “I don’t give a fuck about nakedness. As an actor, obviously if it calls for it. You’re not just going to get naked otherwise that’s just basically doing porn. But if it calls for it, I really think you should get over yourself.” She even asked producers to make her a merkin for the scene, a request that was turned down. “I was a bit upset about the fact that they showed my minge without hair because I think my character would have a massive bush. I would have muff, like a muff coming down the thighs. ” And finally a challenge to alll the gentlemen out there: “I think it’s really unfair, every actor, any actress has had her tits out. Every single actress I know. Blokes it’s like, let’s see some cock. Do you know what I mean? Let’s make it more even.” I think I’m in love.
