Remastered Selena Last Concert Now Available
6/23/2017

Recorded live on February 26, 1995. All tracks have been digitally remastered. Selena Quintanilla, the late queen of Tejano music, is caught here in her final performance in Houston, Texas. More a cultural than a solely musical phenomenon, Selena provided American Latinos and Latinas with a bona-fide pop star, and unfortunately their first bona fide pop casualty. Here she works her magic on a medley of '70s Anglo disco classics before slipping into more familiar Tejano territory with her biggest hit, "Amor Prohibido" and a slew of crowd-pleasing classics. Her band is tight and adept (her brother plays bass); the crowd goes predictably wild at every opportunity. As a document of Selena's undeniable live appeal, LIVE THE LAST CONCERT is invaluable, and essential for all true Selena fans.

Carlos Ponce Remembers Selena
6/12/2017

"Oh, I totally remember that day [that they met]. It's actually very fresh in my mind. Because I think I haven't grown up and that it's only been a couple of years. I had a really good time, you know, Selena was already Selena. So to me, it was a big deal that I was interviewing her. She was very, very sweet. My first show ever for Control I met Selena," he tells E! News. "We went, I think, rollerblading with the Barrio Boys, if you remember them, it was somewhere in South Beach. Then we met at a concert and then we went ahead and did the interview. We met quite a few times."

Selena's Legacy as a Mexican-American Superstar
And how She brought me closer to my Mexican family.
6/12/2017

"Every time I asked my dad to tell me about Selena, he would talk about how important it was to support artists and music from Mexico. "Even if some of these songs aren't in Spanish?" I'd ask, citing the songs whose words I actually understood. As if to underscore a point, he'd turn on Amor Prohibido and that was that.
Anyway, it doesn't matter, he'd tell me. She's Mexican. Language doesn't change that." - Ella Ceron

The Spirit of Selena - #SelenaFanGathering
4/24/2017

Fans of Selena Quintanilla-Perez, the Mexican-American singer who was murdered in 1995 at age 23, have never stopped celebrating her life and music. On April 8, Emily Berl, 32, an artist and photographer, attended the Selena Fan Gathering at Plaza de la Raza in Lincoln Park, near her home in Los Angeles, to see how that Tejano music sensation was being remembered.
"People were paying tribute in their own way," Ms. Berl said. "It didn't feel like people were competing to be the most accurate," "It was people's personal interpretations, or personal tributes. People were paying their respects."

Actress Danielle Camastra was 17 years old in 1996 when she auditioned for the role of late Tejano music star Selena Quintanilla for the biopic Selena – a role that eventually went to Jennifer Lopez.
During the first screen test, Camastra remembers Mr. Quintanilla telling her mother how much her daughter reminded him of his.
"He went up to my mom and said, 'Wow, she is so much like Selena,' said Camastra. 'She has her essence. She laughs just like her.'"
During her second screen test, Camastra said filmmaker Gregory Nava approached her and said the role was between her and Lopez.

As a little boy, Andrews spent hours dancing to Selena songs, pretending to be the singer. Selena became one of Honey Andrews’ biggest idols. In fact, Selena was in part, the woman Andrews wanted to be.

Texas Judge Allows Selena's Father To Sue Her Widower
2/17/2017

A Nueces County judge ruled Friday a lawsuit by the father of late Tejano singer Selena Quintanilla Perez against her widower meant to block the TV series "To Selena With Love" can move forward.
Lawyers for Chris Perez, Selena's widower, argued the lawsuit against him stifles free speech rights and sought to have the case dismissed.
State District Judge Guy Williams decided Perez's lawyers failed to prove the litigation was a strategic lawsuit against public participation – commonly called SLAPP – and ruled in favor of Abraham Quintanilla Jr., Selena's father.
Perez and Selena's parents and two siblings entered into an estate properties agreement in May 1995, two months after Selena's death. Selena, who did not have a will, had transferred certain property rights to her father before her death.
According to the agreement, Quintanilla owns certain entertainment properties including the name, voice, signature, photograph and likeness of Selena. As part of the agreement, Perez is prohibited from exploiting Selena without Quintanilla's written consent.

Selena Foundation has not resolved its IRS charity status
1/26/2017
A charity that benefits the most from one of the city’s signature events - Fiesta de la Flor – has not yet resolved its status with the IRS.
The Selena Foundation's tax exempt status was revoked in May 2016 - the week after the festival. That happened after the foundation failed to file its 990 tax forms for three years in a row.
On July 19th, the IRS issued a public notice on its website. In October, the Foundation told 6 Investigates it planned to correct the problem, and described the issue as a bookkeeping error.
Half of the revenue from the Fiesta de la Flor event is donated to the foundation. In 2015, that amounted to $50,000. No donation has been made yet for the 2016 event, said Paulette Kluge, CEO of the Corpus Christi CVB. The CVB is aware of the foundation’s current tax status and continues to work with the Quintanillas, she added.
The Selena Foundation, which is run by the Quintanilla family, honors the late Tejano singer Selena Quintanilla Perez's legacy with student scholarships, among other community efforts. Until the foundation’s tax status is resolved, any donations made are not tax deductible.
The Selena Foundation could not be reached for comment.

Suzette response to Maria Celeste Arraras
1/18/2017
The news of Arraras' forthcoming series has not been well-received by fans or family members of the late Tejano Queen. Following the announcement, a petition was launched to stop the project from happening, and Selena's sister Suzette Quintanilla took to Instagram to share her thoughts.
"Your book is based on a whole bunch of lies," she said via Instagram Stories. "Your source is a person who killed, cold-heartedly murdered, my sister, shot her in the back and left her to die."
In November 2016, Endemol Shine North America and Major TV announced that they were working with Chris Perez to bring his book, To Selena With Love, to our TV screens. That project has since been halted after Selena's father, Abraham Quintanilla, filed a lawsuit against her widower.
