The recently concluded Emmy Awards 2025 not only honoured the best in television but also offered plenty of heartwarming moments between celebrity couples. To begin with, Reba McEntire and Rex Linn confirmed their engagement on the red carpet. Adam Broody and Leighton Meester made heads turn on the red carpet as they arrived hand-in-hand. The OC actor dazzled in a white shirt paired with a baby blue tuxedo and pants of the same colour. He completed his look with a black bowtie. The Gossip Girl actor chose a cutout gown.
Soon-to-be-married Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco made a stunning appearance together on the red carpet, marking their first public outing since Selena’s pictures from her alleged bachelorette party went viral.

On the other hand, actress Kristen Bell, from Nobody Wants This, and her husband, Dax Shepard, brought their humour to the red carpet with a goofy pose, while Harrison Ford and his wife, Calista Flockhart, kept it classy.

Singer Halsey and actor Avan Jogia shared a romantic moment as she gazed at him lovingly while clicking photos. Meanwhile, Ben Stiller and his wife Christine Taylor matched their outfits during their first Emmy Awards appearance in six years. They also coordinated their jewellery. Stiller wore a classic black suit, and his wife twinned with him in a black outfit featuring an off-shoulder bodice and a skirt. She completed her look with an Old Mone Diamond Garland necklace and Old Cut Lozenge-style Diamond earrings.

Selena Gomez Wants Her Kids to Watch This Movie

written by jummy84

As her wedding date with Benny Blanco nears, Selena Gomez mentioned her future children in an appearance on Amy Poehler’s podcast.

Chatting on this week’s episode of Good Hang With Amy Poehler, Gomez named the movie she plans to make her kids watch someday.

Gomez congratulated the comedian on her work portraying Joy in Disney and Pixar’s Inside Out and Inside Out 2, sharing that the animated movie franchise’s sequel — which introduces Anxiety (the character and emotion) into 13-year-old protagonist Riley’s life — had her in tears. In fact, the singer/actress/businesswoman thinks Inside Out 2 should be required viewing for all kids — including her own.

“I watched it with my sister and I completely sobbed because it’s so factual … I almost feel like it should have been a requirement in school to watch that as a homework assignment,” Gomez said on the podcast’s Sept. 9 episode. She added that Gracie, her 12-year-old sister, also cried. (Watch the full episode below.)

“There’s that kind of heartbreak that happens when Anxiety moves in,” Poehler agreed. “No matter the age, you’re either feeling it in real time as a young person, [or] you’re remembering that feeling as a person in your 30s or 40s or 50s and above when your paint set got some darker colors in it. It’s part of growing up, but it’s brutal.”

“It is. I’m gonna make my children watch it,” said Gomez, who’s not a parent now, but is getting ready for her upcoming nuptials to Blanco, clarified that thought: “Not yet.”

“I know, I know they don’t exist yet, but I can’t wait,” Poehler replied amid squeals of wanting to see Selena with a baby.

“They don’t,” said Gomez.

Her future children popped up again in conversation. The I Said I Love You First singer, who also stars in Only Murders in the Building and runs cosmetics company Rare Beauty, says she has a hard time telling people “no,” but that might change “when I have kids.”

“I feel like I owe a lot of people in the world any sort of smile, hug, picture, so it’s very hard,” Gomez explained. “When I don’t do it, I promise you it’s because I’m either really having a hard time dealing with my anxiety, or I’m late, which I try not to be. But in general, it’s a lot — ‘cause I love doing it. I think about it too much. I’ll think about if I missed that one person. It can get crazy in my head.”

“I feel protective of you,” Poehler told her. “As a women that is older … I think that any woman in her 30s is doing that thing where they’re trying to figure out, basically, what is expensive for me with energy? You start protecting it.”

Gomez responded, “I think that’ll happen moreso if I, when I, have kids. I’ll probably put more boundaries up for the sake of the sanity of, you know, what that will look like.”

Before the interview, Poehler talked to Only Murders co-star Martin Short about Gomez, who raved about working with her and described what it’s like when the horde of paparazzi turns up while the pop star’s filming scenes on the streets of New York City.

“When Selena joins us, there’s about 120 paparazzi and they’re there all day,” Short told Poehler. “I’m sure they’re just waiting for her to fall or stumble or [be] mean — therefore they could make more money from it. That’s been her life. She does have security on the streets — we all do — but she’s so lovely with them and they’ve been in her life so long. The only time I ever saw her get a little stern is when they were a little abrupt to like this 14-year-old fan of hers, and she goes, ‘Never do that.’ You can’t fault her.”

Meanwhile Gomez recounted one particular on-set incident caught on camera while filming season two: “Someone said a vile word to someone else, and it was a photographer … I just looked at him and I gave him the finger. There’s just one shot of me [giving the finger]. And he missed it. He’s not even the one who got it. The other people started laughing, and I was like, I don’t even care. I’m just so … I can’t tolerate this kind of stuff. But then they want that kind of reaction, so I’m like, damnit.”

Poehler shrugged it off: “One finger in 33 years?”

“There’s probably been a couple more,” Gomez admitted.

“We can probably find them,” Poehler quipped.

Selena Gomez wants to “keep evolving”.

Selena Gomez wants to continue to evolve

The 33-year-old star has already achieved significant success as a singer and as an actress, but Selena has no intention of slowing down in the coming years.

The brunette beauty – who has been open about her mental health struggles – told Allure: “I want to keep evolving and getting better in every area of my life. And I want to experience everything, so it’s important for me to keep myself in check.

“I’m so stoked that when an emotion pops up, I’m able to acknowledge it and be a part of it, then let it go.”

Selena has also enjoyed enormous success with her Rare Beauty make-up brand, with the company reported to be worth more than $1 billion.

However, Selena is always open to new ideas and business ventures.

She said: “I am going to be in this moment. And who knows, in a couple years I could be done, and that’s fine. I just need to make sure that while I’m here, I do the best I can.”

Selena previously admitted that she feels “so proud” of what she’s managed to create with Rare Beauty.

The actress founded the cosmetics company in 2020, with the ambition of promoting inclusivity and addressing mental health initiatives and education, and Selena is thrilled with what she’s managed to achieve in such a short space of time.

She told People: “This is probably the most important thing I do with my time.”

Selena also feels proud that she’s been able to help other people to “feel less alone”.

She said: “We’ve built a community with Rare and I’m so proud of that. We hopefully have helped people feel less alone and that’s all our goal has ever been.”

Selena has been open about her own mental health struggles in recent years, and she shared some words of advice for people who are going through difficult times.

The actress – who is engaged to record producer Benny Blanco – said: “Try not to isolate. I think it’s important to have moments alone. But when you isolate, sometimes those feelings can just stay bottled up.”

(Additional Revival-era bonus tracks “Outta My Hands (Loco)” and “Cologne,” found on a Target edition of the album, are not on this release.)

Pre-orders for the Revival deluxe vinyl are expected to ship on Oct. 3, which happens to be the same day Gomez’s friend Taylor Swift releases The Life of a Showgirl.

The announcement for the anniversary release comes while Gomez is busy getting ready to marry Benny Blanco. The bride-to-be shared snapshots from her bachelorette party ahead of the couple’s wedding.

Meta created flirty chatbots using characteristics of Taylor Swift, Selena Gomez and others without consent

Meta has created flirty chatbots using the characteristics and likeness of celebrities, including Taylor Swift, Selena Gomez, Scarlett Johansson and Anne Hathaway – without their consent.

According to an investigation by Reuters, the tech company used their names and traits to create AI chatbots – which have been publicly shared across Facebook, Instagram, and Whatsapp in recent weeks.

While some of these were created by Meta users using Meta tools, Reuters understands that a Meta employee had produced at least three, including two Taylor Swift “parody” bots.

Some of the content shared by these chatbots was also provocative, according to the outlet. When asked for intimate pictures of themselves, the chatbots posing as adult celebrities produced photorealistic images of the people they’re impersonating. This included AI-generated images of them posing in bathtubs or dressed in lingerie.

Additionally, Reuters also found that Meta was allowing users to create publicly available chatbots of child celebrities – including 16-year-old Walker Scobell. When asked for a photo from the beach, the AI bot produced a lifelike topless image. It then captioned it: “Pretty cute, huh?”

In response, Meta spokesman Andy Stone told the outlet that these AI chatbots were in violation of the company’s policies. He said: “Like others, we permit the generation of images containing public figures, but our policies are intended to prohibit nude, intimate or sexually suggestive imagery.”

Meta has deleted the chatbots prior to the publication of Reuters‘ report yesterday (August 29).

Legal experts have also told the outlet that Meta’s use of likenesses may have violated celebrities’ publicity rights.

Earlier this month, Neil Young quit Facebook over Meta’s reported “unconscionable use of chatbots with children”.

At Neil Young’s request, we are no longer using Facebook for any Neil Young related activities. Meta’s use of chatbots…

Posted by Neil Young – Reprise Records on Thursday, August 14, 2025

An admin for the Canadian musician’s official account shared a statement confirming that the account would no longer be used related to recent reports that the website’s AI technology permitted chatbots to “engage a child in conversations that are romantic or sensual.”

In other Meta-related news, Eminem is suing the company for the alleged unauthorised distribution of his music across its platforms.

As The Wrap reports, the multinational tech company – which operates Facebook, Instagram, Threads and WhatsApp – has been accused of using the rapper’s songs without a valid license via its Reels Remix and Original Audio functions.

Selena Gomez loves her boyfriend, Benny Blanco, like a love song! The Only Murders in the Building star has been in a relationship with the music producer for over a year, but fans were surprised when she announced her engagement to the 36-year-old. Keep reading for a complete timeline of Selena and Benny’s relationship!

October 2015 

Selena and Benny started working together on her second studio album, Revival, in 2015. Benny was credited on her songs “Kill Em With Kindness” and “Same Old Love.” 

March 2019

The duo collaborated again for Selena’s track “I Can’t Get Enough.” Based on their working relationship, it appeared that the pair developed a solid friendship over the years. 

June 2023

According to Selena’s public comment that indicated she and Benny had been dating for “six months,” this means the couple began their romance in June 2023. The “Single Soon” artist confirmed this timeline in a December 2023 Instagram comment when replying to a fan who was seemingly referencing an old comment that Selena left on Justin Bieber’s Instagram account several years ago. 

“If you can’t handle the hate then stop posting pictures of your boyfriend lol – it should be special between you two only. don’t be mad at your fans. they love you [sic],” the Instagram commenter wrote, to which Selena responded, “Not mad. It’s been 6 months bb. I will always defend my friends family and fans till the day I die [sic].” 

October 2023

Benny attended Selena’s brand Rare Beauty’s Impact Fund Benefit Supporting Youth Mental Health in L.A. 

November 2023

One month before she publicly declared their relationship, Selena gave Benny a shout-out in an Instagram Stories statement to congratulate him on his cookbook, Open Wide. 

“One of my favs releasing a cook book,” she reportedly wrote across a snapshot of Benny’s book. 

That month, celebrity Instagram account Pop Factions reported that Selena and Benny were dating. The account also shared a post revealing that Selena’s mom, Mandy Teefy, had followed Benny on Instagram. 

December 2023

Selena officially confirmed that she was dating Benny. The Disney Channel alum shared a black and white photo via her Instagram Stories of herself leaning on someone who appeared to be Benny. She also responded to multiple fans’ comments under an Instagram fan account. In one response, Selena commented, “He is my absolute everything in my heart.” 

January 2024

Selena brought Benny to the Golden Globe Awards with her, and she even shared a steamy photo of the two of them sharing a kiss following the ceremony. Although she didn’t win the award for Best. Actress in a Musical or Comedy series, she wrote “I won,” across the sweet picture.

February 2024

While speaking with Apple Music’s Zane Lowe, Selena opened up about the inspiration behind her single “Love On” and revealed she felt “safest” in her relationship with Benny.

“Without getting into too much detail, I think it’s just really important to meet someone that respects you,” she explained. “And I think it’s really nice to also lean on someone who understands the world that I live in. But I’d have to say overall it’s the safest that I feel and it’s been really lovely and I’ve only grown through it, so it’s awesome,”

March 2024

Benny briefly opened up about his and Selena’s life at home while promoting his cooking book during a TalkShopLive appearance.

“We always cook together, it’s not, like, just for her show,” the music pro said. “She’s an incredible cook. We have so much fun. All we do is eat.”

Not only that, but Benny even reveled that he brought Selena her favorite soup to the set of Only Murders in the Building.

November 2024

While neither Selena nor Benny have confirmed an engagement, the photo sparked rumors, as many speculated that the pink heart emoji might be covering an engagement ring. According to an X account, Deux Moi claimed that the two are engaged. However, no other outlet has confirmed the news.

December 2024

In December 2024, Selena announced her engagement through an Instagram post. The first photo showcased her diamond ring on her polished hand, accompanied by the caption, “Forever begins now..” The post also included pictures of what appeared to be a romantic picnic, her joyful reaction, and a sweet moment with her now-fiancé.

August 2025

Selena celebrated her bachelorette party over the summer of 2025 with some of her best friends, and Benny was supportive of their soiree. The Hulu actress shared a carousel of images to Instagram, which included photos of silver balloons that spelled “Mrs. Levin” (Benny’s real name is Benjamin Levin), a shot of Selena wearing a white LSPACE sunrise shell bikini top and another all-white outfit featuring a veil that spelled, “Bride to Be.” The bachelorette was held in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico.

Benny commented on Selena’s post with a heart eyes emoji.

Selena Gomez Gives Fans a Taste of Her Bridal Style in This Stunning Pearl Mini

by jummy84
written by jummy84

Selena Gomez just shared a photo-dump from her bachelorette party in Cabo last week, but we can’t take our eyes off one dress in particular.

In keeping with tradition, Gomez wore many shades of white throughout the duration of the trip, including a scalloped white bikini, which she layered under a crochet cover-up (also white), an off-the-shoulder minidress with crochet floral embellishments, and white sweatpants, which appeared to be gifted to all the girls.

But the pearl-embellished dress, which she paired with a “bride to be” veil, was the star of the show. The halter-neck mini, from the brand Retrofête ($1,498), is completely covered in strands of pearls, including at the collar, which gave the look of a pearl choker necklace. Between the strands of pearls were shimmery white sequins—barely visible unless you’re really zooming—that caught the light just so. This is a dress that’s made for the camera flash. (See all the pics here.)

Pearls have been having a moment for several seasons, cropping up on the runways and red carpets almost as often as in jewelry collections. The boxy cut of Gomez’s mini is more timeless, a bit of a callback to the ‘60s—which reminds me, isn’t Gomez supposed to star as Linda Rondstadt in a biopic? Because with this look, I can definitely see it.

Much was made of Taylor Swift’s absence from Gomez’s bachelorette party when photos of the girls on the yacht were published on August 24, but now we have a better understanding of why Ms. Swift was unable to attend—other than that it would have probably quadrupled the security risk, having two of the most famous people on the planet in one place. Swift was busy celebrating her own engagement to fiancé Travis Kelce, and gosh darn it if she wasn’t just a little distracted.

Though very few details about the wedding have been made public—including the exact date and location—rumor has it that Selena Gomez and fiancé Benny Blanco will be tying the knot in September (which certainly tracks given the timing of the bachelorette party). Could Gomez’s pearl mini be a hint at the style of her wedding dress? Something ’60s-esque, with clean lines and a hint of shimmer? And more importantly, will Swift be there? Watch this space.

Selena Gomez Wore 2025's It Uggs on Her Bachelorette Trip

Selena Gomez Wore 2025’s It Uggs on Her Bachelorette Trip

In this day and age, year after year, right around August, everyone starts buzzing about which Ugg shoes will be the “It” style of the year. And by the time the holiday season rolls around, you won’t be able to find them anywhere. The It style is often a boot, but this time, it’s a style that’s even more wearable than the brand’s boots, and Selena Gomez is already the proud owner of 2025’s It Uggs.

Just a week ago, I declared my love for the Ugg Elea Slip-Ons, which are right in keeping with fall’s slipper mule trend. The fur-lined suede mules come in a handful of chic muted colors, and since I wrote about them, I’ve been checking the size selection on retailers that sell them and can confirm that they’re flying out of stock—especially in the Chestnut colorway that Gomez just wore. Gomez paired the Elea Slip-Ons with a black one-piece swimsuit and white beach pants on one occasion, and on another, she wore them with an oversized white sweatshirt and socks to catch a flight. Oh, and did I mention that this was on her reported bachelorette trip in Cabo San Lucas over the weekend? If the Ugg Elea slides are good enough for such a momentous occasion in Gomez’s life, they’re good enough for me to wear to pilates and Starbucks.

Keep scrolling to see the Ugg Elea slides on the feet of Selena Gomez in Cabo and shop every color they’re available in—from chocolate brown to butter yellow.
