Selena Gomez reveals why she wants ‘biscuits and gravy' at her wedding
Singer-actress Selena Gomez, who is engaged to record producer Benny Blanco, shared the unusual dessert that she wants to eat on her wedding day. Gomez said in a Rare Beauty TikTok video: 'Whenever that day comes, I do know I don't want a big cake. My preferred dessert I think would be biscuits and gravy. My nana's biscuits and gravy. That sounds like dessert to me.' Along with this, Gomez would still like to have a small cake as a memento of the occasion, reports Gomez, who began dating Blanco in 2023, shared: 'I think I want a mini one for just us that we can freeze.' Meanwhile, Gomez previously shared that she'd love to have children one day. The actress announced her engagement to Blanco in 2024, and Selena would love to raise children with him in the future. Gomez, who previously revealed that she isn't able to carry her own children, said on the Jay Shetty Podcast: 'I don't know what will happen, obviously, but I love children. I have an 11-year-old sister that I absolutely adore. I love making (children) laugh; they're just so sweet. So absolutely, when that day comes, I'm so excited for it.' Blanco observed that Gomez is the 'ultimate level of shy'. However, the producer noted that her demeanour changes when she's around children. The 37-year-old star, who has previously worked with Justin Bieber and The Weeknd, two of Gomez's former boyfriends, said: 'When she walks into a room, her main goal is to disappear into the crowd. My mom is very similar, (she) and my mom are very similar. 'They'll wait and say like one thing throughout the night that winds up being the most poignant or funny thing of the night. But I'm gonna have diarrhoea of the mouth talking to everyone. Whenever there's kids at a place it's the only time I see her do that. She immediately goes to the kids and has these conversations for hours with the kids.' Meanwhile, Selena celebrated her birthday with a special milestone.

Karan Johar says he knew Shraddha Kapoor-Aditya Roy Kapur's Ok Jaanu would fail at the box office: ‘I knew this wasn't the right move'
Before he became one of India's most influential filmmakers, Karan Johar had dreams of becoming a fashion designer. He even planned to study design in Paris, until Aditya Chopra intervened. The two had been working together on Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge when Aditya recognised Karan's true calling. 'You're meant for films,' he told him. That moment, as Karan now recalls, changed the trajectory of his life–and the fate of Dharma Productions forever. Speaking on Jay Shetty Podcast about the power of intuition, Karan said, 'Instincts are our superpowers. And when we don't listen to them, we're failing that power.' Reflecting on Aditya Chopra's early faith in him, he added that trusting instincts has been a guiding principle throughout his career, especially when it comes to discovering talent. 'Every time I have met a person, my gut has told me whether they're meant to do something big,' Karan Johar said. He cited filmmakers like Ayan Mukerji, Shakun Batra, and Shashank Khaitan–all of whom he took a chance on when they had little to no experience. 'When Ayan came to me, assisted me–I just told him, 'You should direct a film.' He made Wake Up Sid, and the rest is history. People questioned it, but I simply said, 'I felt it.'' However, Johar admits that he hasn't always followed that voice. Recalling the making of OK Jaanu–a remake of Mani Ratnam's Tamil film OK Kanmani–he said he ignored his gut feeling. 'At that time, Aditya (Roy Kapur) and Shraddha (Kapoor) just had a hit, Aashiqui 2. They already agreed to do the film and the film came to me as a project. Ready. With a great remake. Shaad Ali–a great director. Wonderful actors. And yet, in my heart I actually felt that, 'Should this film be remade?' because it is so much in the moment. Can the moment be recaptured?'' ALSO READ | Kamal Haasan reviews Fahad Faasill-Vadivelu's Maareesan: 'The kind of inventive, spirited cinema I naturally gravitate towards' Despite strong expectations, OK Jaanu underperformed at the box office, grossing Rs 39.3 crore against a Rs 27 crore budget and receiving overwhelmingly negative reviews. Karan reflects, 'It wasn't anyone's fault. Everyone did their job well. But deep down, I knew it wasn't the right move–and I didn't act on it.' He concluded with a candid admission: 'Even today, I sometimes don't listen to my instincts. And when I don't, I go wrong. It's a mistake I keep making.'

Gomez began her career as a child actress, appearing on the children's television series 'Barney and Friends' and emerged as a teen idol for her role in 'Wizards of Waverly Place.' She signed with Hollywood Records in 2008 and formed the band Selena Gomez and the Scene, which released three successful albums: 'Kiss and Tell,' 'A Year Without Rain,' and 'When the Sun Goes Down.' Meanwhile, Selena has come out in support of pop sensation Taylor Swift after the latter bought back her music following Scooter Braun drama. Recently 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!' Almost six years ago, her catalogue 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.
