Hollywood's hardly known for encouraging traits like authenticity in its biggest stars. But that hasn't stopped Selena Gomez from staying true to herself when it comes to her work. In fact, authenticity is a driving force for the singer, actress and Rare Beauty creator.
Willy Sanjuan/Invision/AP/ShutterstockSpeaking at the virtual Teen Vogue Summit on Saturday, Dec. 5, Selena, 28, opened up about her own journey towards self-awareness and how she's funneled that growth into music like her new album, "Rare," and other projects, like her beauty line and HBO cooking show, "Selena & Chef."
"It's important for me to be authentic and to connect to something," she said in reference to her business interests as well as her acting and singing career. "Otherwise, it seems a bit pointless to me. It requires a lot of hard work. But the payoff is amazing."
On "Rare," for example, Selena looked deep into her own, internal struggles to find inspiration for new music. The results were a hit with critics and fans, alike.
"The whole theme of my last album was a lot of self-discovery," she explained. "A lot of being OK being alone and being vulnerable, being OK with not looking like everything else, like everyone else."
Victoria Will/Invision/AP/ShutterstockIn that, sense "Rare" was the product of the self-work Selena spent much of the past few years doing, both with and without professional help.
She's also long advocated for the importance of being open about mental health issues, having struggled with anxiety and depression for many years, particularly after the stress of her kidney transplant.
Asked about her commitment to being open about her mental health challenges, she explained how discussing those issues gave her a whole new perspective on them.
"I think it's less scary when you talk about it. So that's some sense of freedom that I gained once I did," she said.
"I think I had a moment where I felt different. Like, 'Why do I react this way? Why do I feel the way I do and nobody else does?' and I had to figure that out. I didn't want just to stay in this place of confusion."
Chelsea Lauren/ShutterstockShe hasn't wanted others to be stuck in that place, either.
"My journey personally has been all about my timing; when I felt like it was working, that's when I suddenly became so obsessed with making sure that everybody I knew understood that sharing your emotions [was] great," Selena said. "How I'm a huge advocate for therapy. How I feel like there are support groups for everybody, and it's OK … there's no way that people aren't feeling a certain way, whether they're figuring that out on their own or not, we all need each other."
The "Wizards of Waverly Place" alum returns to the small screen next year alongside Steve Martin and Martin Short in Hulu's "Only Murders in the Building," which Selena's also executive producing.
Catherine Zeta-Jones isn't exactly getting a kick out of the holiday season just yet.
Dan Steinberg/Invision/AP/ShutterstockOn Dec. 6, the actress revealed that she injured her foot while setting up Christmas decorations at home.
"Ziplock Zeta foot fashion! Ice ice baby," she wrote alongside a video that shows her icing her left foot in bed.
"So I was putting up my Christmas decorations and an iron rod that's supposed to be a sculpture – that I don't even like – fell on my foot, and it hurts," she said, recalling the incident. She added, "Happy Sunday!"
On Dec. 7, she acknowledged her hurt foot while posting a funny meme in which she concedes that working out and cleaning the house aren't in the cards today.
"Especially now with my holiday decoration injury," she wrote.
Catherine, 51, thanked her fans for all their well wishes.
Ironically, it was less than a week ago that the "Chicago" star took to Instagram to happily tout the holidays. In posting a video of late actress Vera-Ellen from 1954's "White Christmas" on Dec. 1, Catherine said, "Waking up on December 1st like Vera-Ellen. I am so ready for the holidays!!"
Be careful what you wish for!
A homeless man was arrested after allegedly breaking into a home owned by Tom Brady and Gisele Bundchen in the early morning hours of Dec. 7. The superstar couple, though, hasn't lived in the Massachusetts home in months.
Invision/AP/REX/ShutterstockTMZ said the police raced to the home after multiple alarms went off. When authorities arrived, they found the intruder in the basement "laying on the couch in the middle of the room."
The man was arrested without incident and faces multiple charges, including breaking and entering, entering in the nighttime with intent to commit a felony, attempted larceny and trespassing.
Rex USAPerhaps not coincidentally, this isn't the man's first Tom Brady-related crime. Last year he was arrested for stealing one of Tom's jerseys from the New England Patriots Hall of Fame exhibit in Foxboro, Mass. During his getaway from that exhibit, he slipped, giving police a chance to nab him. He was wearing the jersey under a jacket.
That incident was referenced in the new police report, as it noted that the intruder has "several active warrants out of Wrentham District Court stemming from incidents that occurred in Foxboro, MA late last year."
Tom and Gisele were never in danger during the Monday morning break-in, as they were 1,300 miles away in Tampa, Florida, where Tom plays for the Buccaneers.
The home where the break-in occurred is currently for sale. TMZ notes that the 12,000-square-foot mansion was initially put on the market in late 2019 for $39.5 million. Tom and Gisele eventually dropped the price to $33.9 million.
The mansion is still for sale.
With Los Angeles back under a stay-at-home order following a record number of new COVID-19 cases in one day, Hollywood A-listers including Reese Witherspoon, Mark Ruffalo, Elizabeth Banks and Gal Gadot are making the most of their downtime with an LOL-worthy new Instagram trend that started with a meme repost by Garcelle Beauvais.
Rob Latour/Variety/ShutterstockIn a nutshell? Instead of placing an Elf somewhere on a Shelf in their homes to ward off their kids' bad behavior before Christmas, celebs are putting pics of other stars whose names rhyme with theirs on their virtual shoulders.
ET traces the silliness back to a meme of Pharrell sitting on Garcelle's shoulder, which she reposted on Tuesday, Dec. 1, captioning the pic, "You've heard of Elf on a Shelf, now get ready for this…"
Clearly inspired, Elizabeth Banks took the meme one step further on Friday, editing a photo of herself to incorporate a small Tom Hanks on her shoulder …because why not?
Cue Reese, who Insta-waved at Elizabeth and took the whole thing even further. "Oh hey @elizabethbanks!" she posted on Saturday. "I see your Hanks-on-Banks and I raise you a Grease-on-Reese."
From there, things started going a little bananas. Think: Tony Stark on his costar, Mark Ruffalo:
How 'bout a tiny Tony Hawk, aka "skate," on Kate Walsh?
… or perhaps you'd prefer a nice Pedro Pascal on Gal Gadot?
Not one to be dissuaded by his seemingly un-rhymable last name, even Kyle MacLachlan got in on the fun and shared a selfie complete with a mini-Harry Styles smiling from the shelf of his shoulder.
And just like that, we have a whole new world of lockdown entertainment options …!
Even in today's shaky, COVID-19-tinged economy, a little love from George Clooney goes a long way.
James Veysey/ShutterstockLast weekend, the actor revealed on "CBS Sunday Morning" that he's been cutting his own hair with a Flowbee for 25 years and counting. One week to the day later, Flowbee — a combination vacuum / hair clipper device that surfaced in the '80s — is scrambling to replenish its stock, which has sold out entirely, according to a new report from TMZ.
Flowbee Vice President Troy Hunts tells the outlet sales increased "tenfold" after George's shout-out last week. And that jump doesn't even account for the would-be customers who reportedly couldn't complete their orders, as the company's website was inundated with traffic.
According to TMZ, Flowbee is now in a holding pattern, thanks to what Hunts described as "the Clooney effect," which apparently came on the heels of an already strong sales year for the company, which grew more popular as salons and barbershops closed during the coronavirus pandemic.
At this point, Hunts said, it will be at least two to four weeks before Flowbee stock is back in action, stock-wise.
John Milne/SilverHub/REX/ShutterstockOn "CBS Sunday Morning," George, 59, was asked how he was adjusting to some of the daily life changes brought about by the pandemic. Missing out on hair cuts was not an issue for the star, who said that he bought a Flowbee two-plus decades ago and never looked back.
"My hair is really like straw, so it's easy to cut. You can't really make too many mistakes," he said, adding that his haircuts "literally take two minutes."
A few days later, during an appearance on "Jimmy Kimmel Live!," George helpfully demonstrated the ins and outs of Flowbee usage as Jimmy tried one out on his own noggin.
"You put the buzzer on," George said, lifting a Flowbee to his salt and pepper hair. "And you go to town."
Hunts, by the way, also said Flowbee has never worked with George and had no idea he was such an avid Flowbee user.
After the "Clooney effect" sales spike, though, he pans to send a thank-you gift to the actor "that will likely include a few free Flowbees."
Seems like the least he could do.
Jeremih has been released from a Chicago hospital after nearly dying from COVID-related complications.
Just last weekend, the R&B singer was put on a ventilator in the intensive care unit, and things looked grim, according to friends' social media accounts.
MediaPunch/ShutterstockIn a statement to TMZ, Jeremih said, "First and foremost, I would like to thank God and the incredible team of doctors and nurses at Northwestern Memorial Hospital for saving my life. I will be forever grateful."
"I would also like to thank my family and friends for all their prayers and well wishes. I'm overwhelmed with gratitude," he added.
Jeremih also gave specific thanks to Chance The Rapper, 50 Cent and Diddy, all of whom publicly called for prayers.
It's not known how long Jeremih was in the hospital, but Chance The Rapper tweeted about Jeremih's health battle on Nov. 14.
"I would like to thank all my fans and people around the world who prayed for me," Jeremih said on Dec. 5. "I'm getting stronger everyday, and look forward to spending time with my sons."
Dr. Dre has been absent for his eldest daughter's life for nearly all of her adult years.
The mogul's 37-year-old daughter, LaTanya Young, opened up about her frayed relationship with her dad, saying the two haven't seen each other in 17 years. LaTanya desperately wants to mend the relationship.
James Gourley/REX/Shutterstock"Money is not what I want, I feel better doing it on my own," she told The Daily Mail. "I was on assistance for a while, it's embarrassing to say. He did offer to help me with tuition but he never speaks to me. He never set me up to be able to not need him. He never paid for college, he never did anything to help me and my sisters get along."
"I really just want to have closure," she continued. "I just want to be able to spend time with my father."
LaTanya, who has four children, said Dre hasn't even met her kids, something she wants to change.
Still, she recalls that it was even tough getting in touch with her father when she was a child, indicating she had to go through Dre's assistants.
"I hated going through third parties. If I needed him, I'd have to go to the studio and get bombarded and talked to by his security. I would have to go through his accountant or his right hand man, I would never know whether he got my messages. I have never had a direct line to him," she said. "I feel like he gave up on me, and I don't know why. I still don't know why."
LaTanya believes that Dre's estranged wife, Nicole, encouraged the separation. In recalling a visit to Dre and Nicole's home 21 years ago, LaTanya said, "I went to the gate and our names weren't on the list. The security lady still let us in because she knew us. But Nicole turned into Cruella de Vil. She asked us what we were doing there and said that he was sleeping and she threatened to call the police on us."
Broadimage/ShutterstockRegardless of the past, LaTanya wants Dre to have a relationship with his grandkids.
"My kids like his music," she said. "They ask if they can meet him and I don't even know what to tell them."
"The Real Housewives of Atlanta" star Kenya Moore is dishing on a horrendous date she once went on with Kanye West.
Broadimage/REX/ShutterstockDuring an interview with Wendy Williams, Kenya was asked if any celebrities had asked her out.
"I did go out with Kanye once," the reality TV star said. "That was a disaster."
Kenya didn't say when the date occurred, but presumably, it was before he married Kim Kardashian West in 2014.
"Somehow, we ended up going to his house and there was, like, some very explicit things on TV," she awkwardly said. "I was lost, he left me alone, I was just there for like five minutes, wandering around his house. When I followed the noises, he was watching something on TV that he probably shouldn't have been. So that was my exit!"
She added, "As much as I love him, it was just the craziest thing."
Matt Baron/ShutterstockThese days Kenya is more focused on her relationship with husband Marc Daly. The couple married in 2017 but split in 2019. They've since reconciled.
"We're actually getting along better than we've gotten along probably [since] shortly after we got married," she said over the summer. "I mean, it's just been no arguments, no real fights or disagreements, and he's been really sweet and caring and thoughtful. It's like 'Wow, you know, this is the man I married.'"
Tara Reid seems to have a bit of Instagram amnesia.
Earlier this week, Tara went viral after pitching a job to Nicole Kidman in the comments section of "The Undoing" star's Instagram. Now, the "Sharknado" star seems to have forgotten all about it, even claiming that perhaps someone else with access to her Instagram account left the comment.
Broadimage/Shutterstock"I don't think I did," Tara said when asked about the pitch during an interview with FUBAR Radio's Access All Areas. "Because I think I'm not the only one who controls my Instagram. So, there's a couple of people that do it. Do you know what I mean?"
Recent screen grabs show Tara getting detailed in her social media job offer.
"You are truly amazing in everything you do," Tara began. "I've b en [sic] a huge fan forever. Hopefully one day we can work together soon."
She added, "I'm producing a movie Masha's Mushroom it starring Vivica Fox, Billy Zane, Beverly Deangelo, myself Tara Reid, Sade and others it truly an amazing script. I would love for you to read it."
When asked if Nicole had responded, Tara said, "I haven't read anything yet on private messages. So, I don't think so. So who knows."
