CAROLINE BULLOCK: There’s something hideous about Selena Gomez’s engagement… and I’m not talking about her fiancé Benny Blanco!

Fans gushed and Taylor Swift has offered to be flower girl – but the truth is, there’s something hideous about Selena Gomez’s engagement to producer Benny Blanco.

No, I’m not talking about her fiancé’s looks – but her giant marquise diamond ring, estimated to be worth $1million.
