‘I wish my body…’: Selena Gomez shares details on her journey towards body positivity


Selena Gomez has had a journey of her own through the ups and downs. The singer recently opened up on her journey towards body positivity. Read along.
Singer and Actor Selena Gomez has made a ‘Rare’ impact on her fans, followers and the world with her journey over the years. While she still continues to be a singing sensation, she has also taken a point to spread mental health positivity and body positivity wherever she goes.

In a recent interview with Fast Company she opened up on being ridiculed for her body post her surgery for her lupus diagnosis.
She recalled being 24 at a magazine fitting and thinking she no more “had a teenager’s body”- which left her feeling self-conscious.

“None of the sample sizes were fitting, and that would make me feel embarrassed,” said the now 31-year-old singer.
“Although how unrealistic is it to expect a normal woman’s body not to change?” she added.

The singer was diagnosed with Lupus in 2014 and subsequently underwent a kidney transplant and chemotherapy.
It was a few months later when she was photographed in a bikini with her surgery scars, during vacationing in Australia that people started trolling her all over social media.

Additionally, that was also the time the pop star was heartbroken over her split from singer Justin Bieber.
“I had just gotten my heart broken, I didn’t need to see what everyone was doing,” she expressed.
Her struggle with her body image was overloaded with all the pain she was already experiencing.
“Then there were those moments of not feeling positive about how I looked because of what I’d see on Instagram. ‘Wow, I wish my body looked like that,’” stated the Disney actress.
Previously, Selena had admitted that social media detox had helped her with decreasing her anxiety, adding that she gave her social media passwords to her assistant in 2017.
However, things went down south for her a year later when the ‘Rare’ singer went into a psychosis, had to check into a treatment centre and was diagnosed with bipolar disorde
“I went through a really hard season,” she recalled. “It was my highs and my lows, and I didn’t know what to do, so I couldn’t control it. I would want to cancel things. It was just a tormented feeling.”
“That’s why, when I found out my diagnosis, it was just, ‘Oh, okay, I feel a bit relieved, I understand a bit more.’ I got second opinions. I went to doctors. I’m fortunate enough to be able to have people who can help me survive every day,” she added.
Since then, Selena has been very open in communicating her experience with others in order to be able to help people going through the same struggles.
She started the Rare Impact Fund which addresses mental health and self-acceptance as active issues. It aims at raising $100 million over the next ten years to be able to extend help to those in need.
In addition to this, she released a documentary titled ‘My Mind & Me’ where in she talked about her own mental health issues and her journey with it.

‘I am officially off the market’: When Margot Robbie revealed she made the ‘conscious’ decision of not dating actors


Margot Robbie revealed her decision to not date actors because of the media scrutiny that came with a public relationship of two high-profile actors
Back in 2015, A-lister Margot Robbie made a declaration that she would not be dating any actors. The actress may have alluded to her fiance Tom Ackerley, who she married the following year in 2016. In an exclusive interview with Marie Claire, she revealed that being in a relationship as an actor herself came with its own set of challenges. She believed that dating someone who was popular would add on to the media scrutiny.

Margot Robbie opened up on why she made a conscious decision to not date actorsTalking to Marie Claire, she claimed, “I am officially off the market.” She then shared the reasoning behind her decision and added, “I made a conscious decision not to date actors.” She continued to explain, “But not because I hate actors. That’s a nasty generalization to make, and that’s not the case. People take such an interest in your love life when you have a profile, it puts a lot of stress on a relationship.”
The Barbie actress continued, “So two people with profiles, I figure it’s just double the amount of scrutiny, and I’d like to avoid that at all costs.” This came after reports of her locking lips with Tarzan co-star Alexander Skarsgard started making rounds. It was reported that she was caught kissing the actor during the Sundance Film Festival.

Margot Robbie revealed she opted for a minimal lifestyle even after becoming an actorIn the interview, Robbie also opened up about how she was adapting to fame. She shared, “I have a normal 24-year-old life. If I were a waitress, I’d probably have the exact same lifestyle. I’d go to the same clubs I go to already, live in the same house with the same housemates, hang out with the same people.”
However, Margot Robbie tied the knot with Tom Ackerley who is an English producer and actor. The duo met on the sets of 2013 movie Suite Francaise where Tom was working as an assistant director. Post marriage, both of them launched their production company LuckyChap Entertainment.

‘Rocky’ Was Quite Different In His Original Screenplay, Sylvester Stallone Claims


Sylvester Stallone took his friend’s advice on a rewrite of the original screenplay to Rocky. A few tweaks later, he was on his way to major success.
In the new Netflix documentary Sly, Stallone discussed how he initially conceived of the project, which had a much harder edge. In the early version, Rocky was depicted as a “thuggish” character, inspired by Martin Scorsese’s crime drama, Mean Streets.

But Stallone’s perspective changed when a friend read the script and thought the boxer was too cruel for audiences to actually care about him.
Stallone recalled her crying.

“She goes, ‘I hate Rocky. I hate him. He’s cruel. He hits people. He beats them up.’”
Stallone took it to heart, and asked what he could do to soften the character.

“I said, ‘what if you stop short of it?’ Like, maybe he almost did. He could have, that’s his job, but he doesn’t?’ ‘That’d be nice,’” he added. “I said, ‘What if he had a girlfriend or something?’ ‘Yeah, that’s nice.’ So I go back, start writing that: ‘Girlfriend. Nice.’”
$117 million in box office later, a franchise was born.

Stallone also revealed that actor Dolph Lundgren sent him to the hospital during one fight scene in Rocky IV.
“Dolph Lundgren… he pulverized me,” Stallone says in the documentary. “Later that night, my heart started to swell—which happens when the heart hits the chest—and then my blood pressure went up to 260, and they thought I was going to be talking to angels. Next thing I know, I’m in intensive care, where I’m surrounded by nuns, and I thought, ‘OK, that’s curtains.’”
Stallone was in the hospital for nine days following the incident, praying for “one more round.”
“For the first minute of the fight, it is going to be a free-for-all,” Stallone told Lundgren. The Swedish actor joked in a separate interview that all he did was “obey orders,” explaining, “[Stallone] was the boss. I did what he told me.”
Doctors allegedly told Stallone that he received a blow to the ribs that made his heart rattle around in his ribcage, a condition typically seen in head-on collisions. “I did hit a bus, of sorts,” Stallone joked.
