Gomez cancels shows after mom miscarries

Singer-actress Selena Gomez canceled two performances over the weekend after learning that her mother, Mandy, and stepfather, Brian Teefey, had suffered a miscarriage of their expected first child together, E! Online reports. Gomez, 19, had been scheduled to sing at the B96 Jingle Bash 2011 at the Allstate Arena outside of Chicago on Saturday, and at 106.1 KISS FM's Jingle Bell Bash at the WaMu Theater in Seattle Sunday. Her representative had cited a "family emergency" as the reason for her cancellations.
