More information on the new Selena book

This is a segment of El Gordo y La Flaca about the new book comming out about Selena(Selena: Her Life After Death/Su Vida Despues de Su Muerte). The author gives us hints about what is in the book. I got this video from http://selena-online.com/.

Rare Selena Video

Here is rare footage of Selena in the 80's. The title of the video says she is 15 but I don't think it is possible because the song she is singing is "Girlfriend" by Pebbles, which was released in 1987(Selena would have been at least 16 when this footage was recorded).

Here is the video of the original song by the original artists:

Selena on the cover of Texas Monthly

It's that sad time of year again, we are on the brink of another year without Selena. To commemerate another year since her passing, Texas Monthly has put Selena on their magazine cover and has also issued unedited photos of Selena, Selena trademark items and a picture of the room where Selena was gunned down. The cover is quite beautiful, it mocks the idea of how many people have literally passed Selena as a saint. To read the story behind this great cover, CLICK HERE.

Here is a video(In Spanish) of a news station in Texas covering this issue:
