Selena Gomez receives a standing ovation. The Actor Center co-stars for the film Amelia Perez
received the longest standing ovation so far this year, May 18th at the 77th Annual Cannes Film
Festival. Selena can be seen wiping away tears during the nine-minute-long applause celebrating
the Spanish-language musical drama. Earlier in the day, Selena stunned on the red carpet for
the film's premiere in an off-the-shoulder Saint Laurent black and white gown, accessorized with
bold Bulgari diamond jewelry, red nail polish, and her hair up in a polished ponytail. Amelia Perez,
which stars Selena along with Zoe Saldana, follows the story of a lawyer helping an
escaped Mexican cartel leader undergo sex reassignment surgery while avoiding the police.
With the film already starting to generate Oscar buzz, the project could take Selena's
achievements to new heights. However, her career isn't the only thing succeeding at the moment.
The 31-year-old's one-year anniversary with boyfriend Benny Blanco is coming up this summer,
and it appears the couple is getting pretty serious. During an appearance on The Howard
Stern Show May 14, Benny reveals his hopes for one day having children with the only
Murders in the Building star. You have no room for kids in your life, right? What do you mean I
Oh, no kidding? I have a lot of god kids. I got a ton of nephews. I like, yeah, it's my thing. I
love being around kids. And the music producer is manifesting marriage as well. However, Benny
shares that he still has to get some things in order before he can propose to Selena.
I see love here. I'm predicting marriage. You and me both. You got a ring? I don't have anything.
I got no shoes on. I gotta get my act together.
