Selena Gomez might put on a brave face for her fans, but she admitted this week that she does struggle to stay positive sometimes.

The singer was speaking during a Google Hangout yesterday to launch her new Adidas NEO collection when she answered some personal questions from fans.

One of the issues Selena spoke about was bullying, something she was victim to just last month after cruel online trolls criticised her weight when she was pictured enjoying some beach time with friends in Mexico.

Asked what she would change about the girl if she could, the 22-year-old responded, "Bullying. I'd get rid of bullying… People are so mean, it's exhausting."

Selena also admitted that success has not been a smooth journey for her, saying, "I think life is very, very, very hard and I've never had anything come super easy to me no matter what people may think… If you're good and you're kind to other people and you work hard and you're actually doing something with your life, I think that's so fulfilling."

The singer's bullying problem really came to a head on Instagram just weeks ago, when she personally responded to one commenter who wrote, "@selenagomez you need to work out! Please stop eating junk food…in the business sadly the image its important."

The Come And Get It hitmaker was having none of the negativity and hit back by saying, "I'm IN the business and I could care less about what 'they' or you say I should look like. I don't need to do anything other than love myself, take care of my work, fans, family and friends…. And I do work out. It's not your place to tell anyone what they should or shouldn't do."

However at least one positive development has come out of the last few weeks as Selena revealed she has been putting her worries aside and working hard on her new album. "So I've been working in Mexico—I've been in the studio constantly, and I'm so anxious for you guys to see everything and hear everything," she said. "But just know that it's the best that I've ever done and you guys won't be disappointed."

We can't wait!

Selena Gomez may have moved on from her ex Justin Bieber, but it sounds like he's still holding out for a future with her.

The on-off couple broke up for what seemed to be the last time late last year, and just a few weeks later Selena was spotted at the Golden Globes Awards holding hands with musician Zedd – her way of telling the world she had given up on Justin once and for all.

Selena has made no secret of her happiness with Zedd, but sources close to Justin say he still has his heart set on marrying the actress. 

"Justin always talks about Selena when the topic of marriage comes up," an insider told Hollywood Life. "He may hang out with a bunch of different girls like Kendall, Hailey [Baldwin], and his Miami babes, but he has said not once, but often that Selena is the only girl he’s ever been with who is marriage material."

Justin might be close with Kendall and Hailey, but they just don't have the same allure for him as his ex Selena. "He wasn’t dissing the other girls, but he explained that they [him and Selena] have a ‘soulmate’ relationship," the source continued.

The revelations comes just one day after the Baby hitmaker opened up to Seventeen magazine about the exact qualities he wanted in a long-term partner. "In a girl, I want someone who’s confident in herself and honest. I have to find her very attractive and as someone I can see myself with for the rest of my life," he said.

That certainly sounds like Selena to us, especially given her no bullsh*t attitude to online haters who criticised her beach body last month. The Come And Get It singer took to Instagram to hit back at negative comments about her weight, writing, "I love being happy with me yall #theresmoretolove."

If Justin's looking for confidence, she's got it in spades…

He boasts an incredible 27m followers on Instagram, but Jusin Bieber has now revealed that his youth was plagued by insecurities online.

He says: “For a while, I was busy looking at my Instagram likes, and if a post didn’t get a certain amount, I was like, ‘Aw, they didn’t like the photo.’” 

He went on to also tell the June/July edition of Seventeen magazine: “But there’s always a choice: You can let Instagram or stuff on the internet affect your day, or you can choose to not be bothered by it.”

Justin shot to fame at the tender age of 13, but the now 21-year-old says he just didn’t have people “to check” him as he grew up in the spotlight.

Recently, the Canadian singer has been increasingly reflective on his teenage years – and he’s been apologising for his bad behaviour during that time too.

“I was rebelling a little bit. I was getting cockier and cockier,” he reveals. “I looked back and I was disappointed in myself.” He goes on to admit: “You have to own up to your mistakes.”

And Justin is adamant that his wild-child and out-of-control image portrayal in the media isn’t always accurate: “I am someone who really cares about people,” he states.

He had an on/off relationship with Selena Gomez from 2010-2013, and more recently has been linked to Kendall Jenner. But these days when it comes to matters of the heart, the star says: “In a girl, I want someone who’s confident in herself and honest.

“I have to find her very attractive and as someone I can see myself with for the rest of my life.”

It’s the app that has absorbed millions since launching and going viral last week – how-old.net calculates your age based on your facial structure and features.

Microsoft has now revealed that 33m people have used the software so far, collectively offering up 240m pictures for analysis.

Branded the ultimate vanity device, the outcomes have occasionally proved controversial. Indeed, users have been taking to social media in drones to share their delight and dismay at the results.

“Sorry if we didn’t quite get the age and gender right,” Microsoft offers by way of a disclaimer, “we are still improving this feature.”

But what about preened and groomed celebrities? With access to the best stylists, dieticians, cosmetics, and beauty treatments that money can buy, surely they look years younger than the Average Joe and Jane.

Not always so, it seems. Here at SHEmazing! we put some of our favourite famous faces through the app – with sometimes surprising results.

The stars the How Old app reckons look older:

Clockwise: Kylie Jenner is still just 17, and Lindsay Lohan is actually 28; 
22-year-old Selena Gomez, and Margot Robbie, who is 24

 

And the ones that have been deemed to look younger:

Clockwise: Demi Moore is incredibly 52; Victoria Beckham is actually 41;
Halle Berry has already marked her 48th birthday, and Jennifer Lopez is 45

 

Finally, the celebrities How Old got (pretty much) spot on:

Clockwise: Duchess Kate is indeed 33; Angelina Jolie is 39;
Michelle Keegan is 27, and Laura Whitmore has just turned 30

Selena Gomez has been taking a lot of criticism lately, but she's been handing it with complete class like a pro.

The negativity began when the singer was pictured in a bikini while on the beach in Mexico with friends.

Despite Selena's enviable figure, some cruel online commenters were quick to focus on the fact that the 22-year-old was looking slightly curvier than usual.

At the time, Selena responded by posting a picture of herself looking incredible with a one-piece with the caption, "I love being happy with me yall #theresmoretolove."  However after another round of negative comments, the singer decided to respond directly to the source.

The drama started when an Instagram user named @laurenlv94 commented on  one of Selena's pictures, saying, "mmm… @selenagomez you need to work out! Please stop eating junk food." She continued by adding, "in the business sadly the image its important."

Other users got in on the argument before Selena stepped in with a few firm words of her own.

"@laurenlv94 you're disgusting," she wrote. "I'm IN the business and I could care less about what 'they' or you say I should look like. I don't need to do anything other than love myself, take care of my work, fans, family and friends…. And I do work out. It's not your place to tell anyone what they should or shouldn't do."

Amazing. Selena then asked for the user to be blocked, and the account has since been made private.

A number of celebrities have spoken up in support of Selena, in particular Little Miss Sunshine star Abigail Breslin, who took to Tumblr to express her outrage.

"All this stuff about Selena Gomez online in her bathing suit is RIDICULOUS,” she wrote. “Everyone is always saying how we shouldn’t judge each other, so why are you commenting on a gorgeous, talented and smart young girls body when she’s on the beach having fun with her friends AND SHE LOOKS AMAZING. Aren’t there more important things the world can be reporting on??”

We're glad to see the cruel comments are not being ignored.

Happy birthday, Gigi Hadid! The model has now officially left her teenage years behind, and celebrities have been taking to Twitter to wish her well.

Among them was her boyfriend, Aussie singer Cody Simpson, 18, who posted an adorable message, calling the Sports Illustrated star his “best mate”. “You are a woman of soul and substance… I love you,” he added.

The LA-native is the up-and-coming model-of-the-moment, and counts the likes of Justin Bieber, Karlie Kloss, Selena Gomez, Jourdan Dunn, and Kendall Jenner as BFFs. Indeed, Kendall and Gigi have appeared in tandem in several high-profile fashion campaigns, and last month Ms Jenner posted a striking shot of the pair taken from the April edition of Vogue.

Earlier this week, Gigi was on the streets in Manhattan shooting for Maybelline with Brazilian beauty Adriana Lima.

Gigi was in New York on Tuesday on behalf of Maybelline

She has already celebrated her birthday – going for dinner with friends at the weekend wearing a striking Blue Life jumpsuit. The item, which boasts floral embroidery and a flared leg, was on sale on the brand’s website for €200 but has now completely sold out.

Cody and Gigi first began dating almost a year ago, but broke up due to scheduling clashes. They reunited in November and seemingly have been inseparable since. In lieu of birthday gifts from her beau, she asked for McDonalds vouchers to give out to homeless people that are in need of a meal. “I don't always carry cash and it’s nice to know it’ll be put to good use,” she explained.

Cody and Gigi have been dating on-off for a year

Gigi’s first campaign was for Baby Guess – at the tender age of just two. More recently, she's appeared in adverts for Tom Ford, Sisley, and Seafolly, and has walked for Chanel, Jean Paul Gaultier, and Marc Jacobs.

Trainer and fitness blogger Cassey Ho has made a successful business out of her healthy diet and active lifestyle, but in a recent video she showed that she isn’t immune to cruel online comments about her weight.

In the video, Cassey imagines exactly what would happen if she took every piece of negative feedback on board. In the end she might end up with a body that will please everyone, but that doesn’t mean she’ll be any happier in herself.

Cassey’s not the only one who has been taking a stand against cruel weight shamers of late. Here are a few other inspirational celebs who have spoken out against their haters…

Selena Gomez
Selena might have been having the time of her life on her holidays in Mexico last week, but that didn’t stop online trolls from making hurtful comments about her weight. The singer refused to stand for the negativity, and responded on Instagram by saying, “I love being happy with me y’all #theresmoretolove.”

Giuliana Rancic
E! presenter Giuliana has been the subject of endless criticism in recent months for being “too skinny”. She finally spoke out last month to set the record straight about her low weight, which is the result of ongoing cancer treatment. “I’m doing the best I can… I refuse to be broken,” she told People magazine.

 

Kelly Clarkson
The American Idol singer has had to defend herself and her weight numerous times, most notably after Katie Hopkins asked if she had “eaten all her backing singers.” Kelly’s epic response? “I’m awesome! It doesn’t bother me. It’s a free world. Say what you will.”

 

Pink
Fierce as always, Pink was having none of it when some cruel comments began appearing online after she attended a red carpet event recently. In an open letter to her haters, Pink wrote, “I am perfectly fine, perfectly happy, and my healthy, voluptuous and crazy strong body is having some much deserved time off.”

Selena Gomez is currently enjoying a holiday in Mexico, and she's not about to let some cruel weight comments get her down.

The singer and actress was pictured on the beach earlier this week sporting a skimpy pink bikini as she swam and body-boarded with some friends.

But it wasn't long before attention was drawn to the star's (slightly) curvier than usual figure, with some online commenters saying she looked "bloated" and "puffy."

Regardless of her weight, Selena has a fabulous figure, and her subtle response to her haters was just brilliant.

Sharing an Instagram snap last night of herself looking gorgeous in a black swimsuit as she lazed on a sun lounger, Selena wrote, "I love being happy with me yall #theresmoretolove"

Selena is currently taking a well-earned break from a busy filming schedule on her new film In Dubious Battle, a period drama directed by James Franco. To add to the positivity, after a turbulent end to her relationship with Justin Bieber last year, the young star seems to have found happiness again with musician Zedd.

We're delighted to see her so content!

James Franco is well-known for his strange Instagram snaps but this one goes beyond weird.

Sharing a photo of Selena Gomez holding a baby, the Pineapple Express actor wrote: “Selene [sic] and I had a baby. It was born during Sprang Break.”

Unless we fell asleep for nine months and completely forgot Selena Gomez ever being pregnant, we’re going to assume that James is just trying to freak all of her fans out.

James and Selena starred in the movie Spring Breakers together so this is more than likely what the actor is referring to.

Selena is currently starring in James' movie In Dubious Battle and the photo of Selena and the baby was taken from the set in Georgia. 

Or maybe there is something going on that we know nothing about, eh Selena?

Selena Gomez has always proved to be an inspiring role model to her young fans – even throughout her rocky relationship with Justin Bieber.

Now, she has proved herself once again, sharing a snapshot of a comment she left to a fan, willing them to keep going.

The comment suggests that a fan had been feeling a deep depression, with Selena following them and writing:

“By me following you is not me saying it’s ok to think these thoughts. It’s not me saying “hey you said sad things, so I’m going to follow you to make you feel better.” God puts us in situations that are so unexplainably difficult for a reason. There is someone in the world feeling so much, just like you. There is someone who will always have it better or have it way worse than you. The point of all of that is for to feel not alone. People everyday feel so many emotions they wish they could turn it off. But that’s not why we are here. We are here for relationships, for people just like us who feel worthless. Your purpose is to share, help, encourage. Remember that. Please. Before you think of taking your life, think of all the life’s you could save. I love you. More importantly there is a God that will love more than I ever could.”

 

I know I meant lives. I don't care about grammar. I'm sorry I had to share. Every life is worth it.

We really hope that Selena's fan took her words into consideration and we just love that she took the time to address a serious cry for help from someone that could have so easily gone ignored.

When Miranda Kerr and Orlando Bloom split up back in 2013, we mourned the loss of Hollywood's most beautiful pairing.

Although the couple have always remained on good terms for the sake of their four-year-old son Flynn, they definitely raised a few eyebrows on Sunday night when they were spotted leaving the Vanity Fair Oscars after-party at the same time.

Miranda was pictured smiling widely as she waited for her lift home to arrive after the party, with Orlando waiting just a few feet away.

They may have departed in different cars – but our little romantic hearts are kinda hoping they were headed to the same place. Given how gorgeous Miranda looked in her white cut-out Emilio Pucci gown, it's no surprise Orlando's eyes may have been drawn in her direction!

To add to the drama, Orlando's rumoured ex Selena Gomez was waiting for her own lift nearby – looking just a TAD worse for wear. 

Despite a serious love triangle last year involving Orlando, Miranda, and Selena's ex Justin Bieber which resulted in a few punches being thrown between the two boys, onlookers reported that Selena and Miranda appeared to mingle with no problems at the Vanity Fair party.

Sunday night wasn't the first time we've thought there might be a chance of a reunion for Miranda and Orlando. At last year's Oscars, Miranda was interrupted by her ex on the red carpet, as he stopped her during an interview to say she was looking "amazing." 

So cute!

The couple met in 2007 and married in 2010, welcoming their son Flynn a year later. While they have been linked to a number of others since splitting two years ago, we still have our fingers crossed that they might make amends with one another!

Selena Gomez’s photoshoot with V magazine has been causing some controversy online since their appearance two days ago.

The photos see the singer topless and in hotpants, as well as wearing her hair in curls and donning a cowboy hat. However, not everyone is impressed by the images and they have been branded ‘creepy’ as she looks so child-like.

Selena is known for having a baby-face, but people seem to feel that pairing nudity with an enhanced child-like look is significantly Lolita-inspired and rather weird.

Do you think the photos step over a boundary?
