Madame Tussauds in Hollywood officially unveiled the Selena Quintanilla wax figure last night in a private viewing. The figure is valued at $350,000 and is dressed in a recreation of her concert look from a show at the Memorial Coliseum in her hometown of Corpus Christi, Texas on February 3, 1993. It’s been 21 years since we lost Selena, so this tribute to the iconic singer was overdue! The wax figure will be made available for general admission beginning today, August 31.

Kendall Jenner is playing no games. While her sister Kylie is running behind Tyga and getting lip injections, Kendall has been overseas building her brand as a bonafide supermodel. As tangible proof of her accession, she’s now been turned into a wax figure at Madame Tussaud’s in London, alongside fellow supermodel (and friend,) Cara Delevingne. Telegraph reports that it took a team of 20 people over a span of four months to create the duo – with an entire week being devoted solely to recreating Delevingne’s eyebrows. Bruh, the fleek levels?! Both statues were erected as part of a special London Fashion Week expo. Check out more pics in the gallery, and video below.

Nicki Minaj’s Wax Figure Is Reportedly Set To Be Removed Completely
According to Solange Knowles’ website, Nicki Minaj’s wax figure at Madame Tussaud’s Las Vegas location is set to be removed entirely, after seeing its fair share of controversy. The wax figure was only unveiled a month ago, but due to its suggestive pose featuring Nicki on all fours in a scene depicted from her “Anaconda” video, it inevitably resulted in some very inappropriate photos with fans who came to view the attraction. Though the rapper didn’t appear to be bothered by it, even having shared some of the craziest photos on Instagram, Madame Tussaud’s did not enjoy their statue being made a mockery of, and released a statement announcing they’d be redesigning the structure around her and adding security so as to prevent further incidents. Sadly, even that didn’t work, and now they’re reportedly closing up shop all together. The report provided no further info, such as when they plan to do so or if they will make an entirely new pose, however.

The visual “Anaconda” by Nicki Minaj may have not been up for MTV’s ‘Video of the Year’, however, Madame Tussauds was sure thinking about her when she created the a**-ful of Nicki wax, which she revealed early this week.
