Selena Gomez lauds Taylor Swift after she buys back her catalogue
Singer-actress Selena Gomez has come out in support of pop sensation Taylor Swift after the latter bought back her music following Scooter Braun drama. On Friday, May 30, the 'Only Murders in the Building' actress, 32, cheered on her fellow singer, 35, after it was revealed that Swift finally owns her masters, reports 'People' magazine. 'Yes you did that Tay', Selena Gomez wrote on her Instagram Story using all caps, adding, 'So proud!' As per 'People', earlier in the day, Swift confirmed reports that she was once again in control of her music catalog after a public ownership feud involving record executive Scooter Braun. 'You belong with me', she cleverly captioned an Instagram carousel, a nod to her 2008 hit of the same name from her album 'Fearless'. Almost six years ago, her catalog was sold to Braun, who then sold it to private equity firm Shamrock Capital. Swift's upload showed three photos of her sitting on the floor of a portrait studio, wearing a periwinkle top, denim jeans and her signature red lip as she smiled, surrounded by her first six albums. During the years long battle for ownership, the 'Love Story' singer famously re-recorded albums, adding 'Taylor's Version' to the titles. Selena has supported Swift since their friendship began more than a decade ago. The two singers were introduced by the Jonas Brothers in August 2008 and have been besties ever since. 'We actually dated the Jonas Brothers together! It was hysterical', Gomez told KISS FM UK in 2017. 'It was amazing, because (Taylor) was the girl with the big curly hair and all the bracelets and the cowboy boots. And I was definitely up-and-coming, and we just clicked', the 'Good For You' singer said, before jokingly adding, 'It was the best thing we got out of those relationships'. All parties involved have moved on. Swift has been dating Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce since October 2023. In December 2024, Benny Blanco and Gomez became engaged. Gomez began her career as a child actress, appearing on the children's television series Barney & Friends (2002 — 2004), and emerged as a teen idol for her leading role as Alex Russo on the Disney Channel sitcom Wizards of Waverly Place (2007 — 2012). She signed with Hollywood Records in 2008 and formed the band Selena Gomez & the Scene, which released three successful albums: Kiss & Tell (2009), A Year Without Rain (2010), and When the Sun Goes Down (2011). Gomez has since released three solo studio albums that debuted atop the US Billboard 200. Her EDM-infused debut record, Stars Dance (2013), yielded the international top-ten single 'Come & Get It'. She moved to Interscope Records and released the electropop album Revival (2015), supported by the top-ten singles 'Good for You', 'Same Old Love', and 'Hands to Myself'. Its follow-up, the dance-pop-influenced Rare (2020), contained her first Billboard Hot 100 number-one single 'Lose You to Love Me'. Agencies

Cannes Film Festival 2025: Jodie Foster prefers life outside US
Jodie Foster prefers to be outside the US right now, the Oscar-winning actor told Reuters at the Cannes Film Festival on Wednesday, citing better conditions in Europe's film industry as well as more freedom now that her children have grown up. Foster was in southern France for the premiere of A Private Life, a psychological thriller in which Foster assumes the role of a psychiatrist who tasks herself with investigating the death of her patient, played by Virginie Efira. The US-born actor, who won two Oscars for The Accused in 1989 and The Silence of the Lambs in 1992, had to speak in French only for the Cannes film that is screening out of competition. Foster, 62, began her career filming commercials at the age of 3 and has received numerous awards throughout her career, including an honorary Palme d'Or award from Cannes in 2021. "I'm really enjoying working outside the United States," she said, recalling how she is not as tied down to the US now as she was when her children were little and she had to stay close to home. Foster, who first came to Cannes as a 13-year-old when she starred in Taxi Driver, said working as a director in France was better than in the US because of more creative freedom. Blending genres, like director Rebecca Zlotowski does in Foster's new film, is very uncommon in the US, she said. Studios want a film to be either a thriller or a comedy, they don't want a mixture of the two, she said, whereas France allows the director to have more authority on such decisions. "That's the reason why filmmakers love to come here." In Europe, female directors also have had more opportunities compared with the US, said Foster, herself a director. "I'd only worked with one female director until a few years ago. Isn't that kind of amazing? After I've made 60 movies that I've barely ever worked with another woman?" she said. "Europe has always had a female tradition, or at least for quite a while. But in America, somehow that bias really took hold."
