Selena Gomez on Fiancé Benny Blanco: ‘Addictive To Be Around'
Selena Gomez is all praise for her fiancé, Benny Blanco. During her appearance on Sirius XM's 'TikTok Radio IRL,' the singer listed the traits in her partner that she found 'addictive.' While speaking about the couple's new album, 'I Said I Love You First,' Gomez expressed how the record producer helped her find herself musically. She also noted that Blanco's confident energy was 'addictive to be around' and what made their collaboration better.
Selena Gomez didn't shy away from expressing her love for her fiancé, Benny Blanco, even when he couldn't accompany her to Sirius XM's 'TikTok Radio IRL.' In contrast to their recent appearances together, Gomez arrived solo to her recent interview to promote the couple's latest album, 'I Said I Love You First.' While speaking to host Chris Olsen, she spoke about their new music while showering praises for her husband-to-be.
Gomez shared that it was fun to make new music with Blanco. The singer also shared how her fiancé helped her navigate her musical direction. She recalled wanting to make an album but being 'stuck musically.' However, having the record producer on her team made it all better. Speaking about Blanco, Gomez said, 'He did an incredible job, and I respect him so much, and he just has excellent taste.'
The 'Emilia Perez' actor further shared how their new project came to be. She revealed how 'special' it was for her to open up about her stories to Blanco and for him to do the same with his past. The singer noted that the pair creatively 'combined' their stories, which led to the album.
She further credited Blanco's confidence for helping to explore new sides of their relationship through music. Selena Gomez continued, 'That kind of energy is so addictive to be around, and he just…' the singer paused before confessing her love for Benny Blanco.
The former Disney star also shared that the couple had the most fun while creating the song 'Scared of Loving You.' She recalled that it initially didn't make the album. Gomez admitted to tearing up over the thought that the pair just began 'singing it about each other,' which led to an honest single.

Joe Jonas Reflects on Infamous ‘South Park' Episode: ‘I Was the Only Brother That Loved It'
Joe Jonas has taken a look back at South Park's famous spotlight of the Jonas Brothers, admitting that he views it as a personal 'claim to fame.' Joe's comments appear in the new episode of Mythical Kitchen's Last Meals (via Entertainment Weekly), where he explained to host Josh Scherer that his opinions were not shared by his brothers at the time. More from Billboard Kneecap Announce Massive Wembley Arena Headline Show Drake & PARTYNEXTDOOR Announce '$ome $pecial $hows 4 U.K.' Tour Dates Marcie Jones, Lead Singer of Marcie & The Cookies, Dies at 79 'I think I was the only brother that loved it,' Joe explained. 'Our skin was not as thick back then, and I thought it was hilarious, because I watched South Park, and I was like, 'This is so funny, I know what they're doing, they make fun of everyone!' 'To be made fun of by a comic is usually a sign that they give a s–t, and they care, and it's funny,' he added. 'They really went for us.' Joe, along with brothers Kevin and Nick, were spotlighted as part of The Ring, the premiere episode of South Park's 13th season in March 2009. The episode, which was inspired by the release of Jonas Brothers: The 3D Concert Experience just weeks earlier, sees the fictionalized trio convincing their fans to wear purity rings at the behest of Disney mascot Mickey Mouse. However, Jonas agreed that he was able to see the humor in the South Park parody, noting that the band weren't the specific focus, but rather it was 'Boss Mickey' that was in the sights of the creators. 'I mean, what an honor to get my ass kicked by Mickey,' Jonas added. 'I think it's one of my favorite episodes. And later on, now, we just laugh. We love that. I think it's so great. Definitely a claim to fame for me.' The recent comments from Joe align with Nick's own from 2016, in which he addressed the episode in a Reddit 'Ask Me Anything' session. 'When it first came out I didn't think it was funny to be honest, but probably because I was actually living all of that in real time and so it just made it harder to come and live your life as a young person and have all that going on,' he explained. 'But years later and once the purity rings were no longer around, it was very funny to me and I've actually watched the episode a few times.' Joe himself reflected on the episode just months later in his own AMA session, stating he was 'so pumped' when it first aired, but conceded that 'Nick was really kind of not into watching it.' 'I thought it was the funniest thing at the time and it's kind of a compliment because obviously if you go to a comedy show and they pick you out and make fun of you, you can't heckle back, you gotta just take it and enjoy it,' he explained. 'And for me I've always been a fan and I knew that was kind of a wow we made it moment, and also they were kind of attacking Disney more than me, so I didn't really feel threatened. 'Now I watch it back and laugh and Mickey kicked my ass so I won the episode by being beat up by Mickey Mouse.' Joe's comments also come just days after the release of his second studio album, Music for People Who Believe in Love, which will be followed in August by the Jonas Brothers' seventh album, Greetings from Your Hometown.

Disney laying off several hundred employees worldwide
The Walt Disney Co. is laying off several hundred employees worldwide as the entertainment giant looks to trim some costs and adapt to evolving industry conditions. A Disney spokesperson confirmed the action on Tuesday. The exact number of jobs being cut is unknown, but layoffs will occur across several divisions, including television and film marketing, TV publicity, casting and development, and corporate financial operations. No entire teams will be eliminated. 'As our industry transforms at a rapid pace, we continue to evaluate ways to efficiently manage our businesses while fueling the state-of-the-art creativity and innovation that consumers value and expect from Disney,' the spokesperson said. 'As part of this ongoing work, we have identified opportunities to operate more efficiently and are eliminating a limited number of positions.' Last month Disney posted solid profits and revenue in the second quarter as its domestic theme parks thrived and the company added well over a million subscribers to its streaming service. The company also boosted its profit expectations for the year. Disney's also been riding a wave of box office hits, including 'Thunderbolts(asterisk)' and 'Lilo & Stitch," which is now the second-highest grossing movie of the year with $280.1 million in domestic ticket sales. In 2023 Disney CEO Bob Iger announced that Disney would cut about 7,000 jobs as part of an ambitious companywide cost-savings plan and 'strategic reorganization.' Disney said at the time that the job reductions were part of a targeted $5.5 billion cost savings across the company. Shares of Disney, which is based in Burbank, California, rose slightly in midday trading. Michelle Chapman, The Associated Press
