Selena Gomez is clearing the air and she’s letting fans know that she has nothing but love for one of her fellow pop stars.

Back in June, fans noticed that Gomez appeared to unfollow “Dance The Night” hitmaker Dua Lipa. Soon after, rumors began to swirl that the two were feuding.

In a recent interview, Gomez addressed these rumors, clarifying exactly what happened.

Do Selena Gomez and Dua Lipa have beef?

In an interview with Fast Company, in which Gomez breaks down her makeup company Rare Beauty, as well as her relationship with the internet and social media, she revealed that her unfollowing of Lipa was simply an accident.

“I was just cleaning up some of my Instagram,” Gomez said. “Then somebody called me and was like, ‘What happened with Dua?!’”

Gomez has long been open about her love-hate relationship with social media, and has used it as a platform to discuss mental health. Elsewhere in the interview, she shared her thoughts on the idea of an offline life.

“All I would say is, ‘Every choice you make is yours. At the end of the day, you have to be proud of it. If it ends up being a mistake, it’s your mistake to learn from. Take a lesson from that. Does it make you feel good? Does it not? Evaluate and get to know yourself as much as you can.’ But I would never say don’t do something, because I don’t live with regrets,” Gomez said.

Dua Lipa is a Warner Music artist. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.

Rachel Zegler wants Barstool bros to speak never about Taylor Swift again.

Earlier this week, after the “Anti-Hero” singer appeared at her second Kansas City Chiefs game to cheer on rumored boyfriend Travis Kelce, Barstool Sports podcaster @BarstoolBigCat, whose real name is Dan Katz, wrote on X, “If Taylor Swift is going to be taking over our Sunday’s I’m going to need to see a sex tape. These are my demands.” He also shared a clip from his show, Pardon My Take, where he said, “If Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift release a sex video, I’ll consummate this relationship and be like, ‘Fine.’ Until I see some d*ck in vagina. P in V, otherwise it’s not real. I want to see insertion.”

Weird stuff! Weird, and as Zegler pointed out, nothing new.

“It’s not news that the media is particularly (and unwarrantedly) cruel to taylor swift but the way men feel entitled to speak about women, their bodies, and their sex lives needs to be seriously evaluated,” the West Side Story actress wrote on X. She added, “Seeing a lot of ‘it’s a joke’ but you’ve got to understand that since the beginning of time ‘you can’t take a joke’ has been synonymous with ‘let me say a horrible thing about women without suffering the consequences’ — we’re sick and tired! it’s never been funny! get a life!”

Jimmy Kimmel got his revenge for Donald Trump branding late night hosts as “True LOSERS!!!” Stephen Colbert didn’t ignore that garbage, but he had more fun while roasting Trump’s ongoing New York fraud trial. More specifically, Colbert called out how a massive order of fast food was seen being carted in by the Secret Service and other staffers.

At least six grocery-sized bags of burgers and fries were among the haul. And this wasn’t the good old days where Chris Christie was among the manservants doing Trump’s bidding, but Trump surely dug in nonetheless. The ex-president also famously served a fast food spread to the Clemson Tigers football team, and there was zero ambiguity about who ordered this food.

Yep, Trump can still manage to enjoy his favorites while his business empire crumbles around him, and Stephen Colbert couldn’t resist mixing things up with a classic courtroom thriller. A much quoted A Few Good Men scene between Tom Cruise and Jack Nicholson got edited into the fray to imagine what it would be like if Colonel Jessup had also consumed fast food before reentering an open court room.

Let’s just say that Cruise’s Lt. Daniel Kaffee did not appreciate the gassy gesture, and what materialized wasn’t pretty. Order in the court!

Donald Glover has faced recent rumors that his time in music as Childish Gambino is over. Over the past few years, Glover has focused more on television, with his work on shows like Atlanta and Swarm.

In 2017, he had also said that he would retire his stage name after his next album. The record then dropped in 2020, and he changed his mind.

Because of this, fans have stuff on the way to still look forward to — as he discussed his future as Gambino in a new interview with Complex.

“I feel like it’ll be clear sooner rather than later,” Glover shared. “It’d be better for people to just tune in, I suppose. But I’m trying harder to not be cryptic. Tyler [The Creator] is always, like, ‘You’re so cryptic.’ But I’m like, ‘I’m really not.’ I just like suspense, I guess. I think it makes stuff better. But that’s just me.”

He also referenced Cam’ron as a relatable figure, with the two both continuing with music because they’re nice, not for the money. “I don’t think I’d ever stop, because of like…” he added. “I always liked it because I liked it. I never did it because it was like, man, this is a good way to get put on or something. I like the feeling of it. I do this because I’m nice. In a certain way, I think that makes me old school.”

Back in January, he also confirmed to E! News at the Golden Globes that he was in the studio working on new music.

Here’s hoping we get to see what Glover has planned for his Childish Gambino project soon.

Donald Trump welcomed back the late-night shows the only way he knows how: by trashing them on social media.

“Now that the ‘strike’ is over, the talentless, low rated CREEPS of Late Night Television are back. I knew there was a reason I didn’t want to see it settled — True LOSERS!!!” the frequently-arrested former president posted on Truth Social. In another post, Trump called them “not at all funny.” One of those “low rated CREEPS,” Jimmy Kimmel, fired back at Trump on Tuesday.

“This from a man who is such a loser, he buried his ex-wife on a golf course just so he can continue to cheat on her,” the host joked during his Jimmy Kimmel Live monologue. “I love that with everything he’s got going on ― running for president, 91 felony charges, a $250 million fraud trial ― he still finds time to watch his favorite late-night shows and tantrum about them.”

Kimmel doesn’t entirely disagree with Trump, however. “In fairness, you can’t really argue with him. The man really does know talentless loser creeps. In fact, he fathered two of them,” he said, while the camera cut to a video of Eric and Donald Trump Jr.

Snoop Dogg is the sort of figure that even non-smokers would light up with, just to say they’ve smoked weed with Snoop. Ed Sheeran found himself in that situation earlier this year and he discussed it on a new episode of the Conan O’Brien Needs A Friend podcast.

Sheeran noted that he was introduced to Snoop through mutual friend Russell Crowe and that the two met backstage after a Sheeran performance in Melbourne, Australia. Sheeran continued (as NME notes), “I don’t really smoke at all, but I was in the dressing room and they were just like blunt for blunt for blunt for blunt. I was like, ‘I guess at some point during the night, I have to, just to say I smoked with Snoop Dogg.’ He was like, ‘Do you want some?’ So I have a bit and I was like, ‘I don’t feel too bad, this is good.’ Then I have a bit more, and then I have a bit more, and then I have a bit more. I just remember looking at him and being like, ‘I can’t see right now.’”

Snoop actually shared a brief video of the encounter on Instagram back in March:

Britney Spears’ long-awaited memoir, titled The Woman In Me, is coming soon, with a scheduled release date of October 24. Before that book has even hit shelves, though, it appears Spears is looking ahead: In an Instagram post shared yesterday (October 3), Spears seemingly indicated that she’s already started work on a second part of the book.

Spears shared a video of herself and others on a tropical vacation, flying over blue water and riding horses after they touched down. The post’s caption reads, Riding ‘n writing !!! All I’m doing at the moment … volume 2 coming after 1 !!! #TheWomanInMe.”

The Woman In Me website reads, “In June 2021, the whole world was listening as Britney Spears spoke in open court. The impact of sharing her voice — her truth — was undeniable, and it changed the course of her life and the lives of countless others. The Woman In Me reveals for the first time her incredible journey — and the strength at the core of one of the greatest performers in pop music history. Written with remarkable candor and humor, Spears’s groundbreaking book illuminates the enduring power of music and love — and the importance of a woman telling her own story, on her own terms, at last.”

Jimmy Kimmel Live! has been brimming with great musical guests this year. Boygenius brought their album The Record to life in April on the late night talk show. When the WGA strike ended, Jason Isbell And The 400 Unit celebrated with a beautiful performance of “When We Were Close” from Weathervanes.

This week is no different; each night has a noteworthy artist to provide tunes. See who’ll be performing below.

Glen Hansard

On Tuesday, October 3, Irish singer-songwriter Glen Hansard will perform on the late night show. His new album All That Was East Is West of Me Now arrives on ANTI- later this month, and singles like “There’s No Mountain,” “Sure As The Rain,” and “The Feast Of St. John” are out now.

LANY

On Wednesday, October 4, Los Angeles-native group LANY will take the stage. Earlier this year, they released their album, A Beautiful Blur, which had the single “Love At First Fight” “In a relationship, you learn a lot about a person from the first argument,” they said upon its release. “It’s an indicator of the relationship’s trajectory and whether it’s going to work out or not.”

BoyWithUke

On Thursday, October 5, BoyWithUke will celebrate his album Lucid Dreams releasing the following day. He gained traction on TikTok after his songs “Toxic” and “Understand” went viral, and now he’s proving he has even more to offer.

It wasn’t that long ago that GameStop terrorized Wall Street. It was late January 2021, and a motley crew of working class investors improbably short-squeezed a bunch of money into the gaming retailer that’s long haunted mails. One thing led to another, and the chain’s overall stock price skyrocketed, making the everyman investors rich while costing establishment investment firms millions. The story is still relatively fresh in the public’s imagination, but when will the film based on it — called Dumb Money, and now in theaters — hit streaming?

The answer, speculates Cosmopolitan, probably won’t be too far off:

Dumb Money comes from Sony Pictures, which signed an exclusive streaming deal with Netflix in 2022. Playing by those rules, the film will eventually land on Netflix, and likely sooner rather than later. If we’re hedging our bets, we’d say you’ll be able to watch this film on your couch by January, if not by year’s end.

Dumb Money stars Paul Dano as Keith Gill, the struggling financial analyst who kicks the mishegoss off, Pete Davidson as his disapproving brother, and Shailene Woodley as Keith’s wife. The supporting cast also includes Vincent D’Onofrio, America Ferrera, Anthony Ramos, Sebastian Stan, and Seth Rogen. It’s the latest from director Craig Gillespie, who turned I, Tonya into a playful, fourth wall-breaking look at an incident that once shocked the nation.

Dumb Money is now playing in theaters.
