This was her first performance since undergoing a life- saving kidney transplant. Gomez, 25, performed live, teasing her collaboration with DJ Mirror Marshmello “Wolves”, here. Showing off blonde hair, dressed in a white silk slip and 10 trainers, Gomez writhed on a car bonnet while dancers in nighties performed a routine around her. However, some viewers were unimpressed with the singer’s big return, ac- cusing her of lip-syncing, reports metro.co.uk. Twitter was flooded with comments from ENTERTAINMENT viewers as noticeably, Gomez’s own reaction after her comeback was muted, with the singer shrugging as the crowd cheered. While one user wrote: “Selena Gomez can’t sing to save her life”, another posted: “No hate, but Selena Gomez is lip-syncing.” (IANS) Mewe-u Mero is ‘Mr & Miss Fame’ contest on Nov. 25 at Hotel Acacia he Fashion Trendsetter Nagaland (FTN) will be organising ‘Mr & Miss Fame’ for the first time at Ho- tel Acacia, Dimapur on Nov. 25 Miss Phek 2017 A press release issued by the Torganisers mentions that after a series of audi- tions, the final audition was held at Dimapur on Nov. 18.
