Selena Gomez serves as such a powerful role model for fans of all ages, largely because of her honesty about her own mental health.

The 25-year-old took a career break in 2016 after experiencing depression and anxiety as side effects of her recent lupus diagnosis, showing the importance of being attentive to our mental wellbeing.

The singer's struggle with her mental health won't have some picture-perfect movie moment when it all dissipates, Selena said in a recent interview with Harper's Bazaar.

'I’ve had a lot of issues with depression and anxiety, and I’ve been very vocal about it, but it’s not something I feel I’ll ever overcome,' the Wizards of Waverly Place actress told Harper's Bazaar.

'There won’t be a day when I’m like, 'Here I am in a pretty dress—I won!' I think it’s a battle I’m gonna have to face for the rest of my life, and I’m okay with that because I know that I’m choosing myself over anything else.'

The pop star is making her personal well-being her central focus in 2018, saying: 'I’m starting my year off with that thought.'

'I want to make sure I’m healthy. If that’s good, everything else will fall into place.'

Considering how young much of her fan base is, Selena is definitely stepping away from the picture perfect facade many celebrities use, and showing fans the reality of her mental health battle can only be a positive.

Selena Gomez's mother has revealed that she warned her daughter about working with Woody Allen, though she admitted that her advice “fell on deaf ears.”

The actress/singer is set to star in the director's upcoming film, A Rainy Day in New York – a project which has been surrounded in controversy over Allen's reputation of alleged child sexual abuse.

The film also features a number of up-and-coming actors including Timothée Chalamet and Elle Fanning, as well as more the more seasoned talents of Jude Law, Diego Luna, Rebecca Hall and Liev Schreiber.

Fans are calling on Selena to donate her earnings from the film to charity after Chalamet and Hall pledged to do just that.

After failing to get through to the Disney star, some fans approached her mother, Mandy Teefey, on Instagram in the hopes that she would be able to get through to her daughter.

“Make Selena write an apology about the Woody Allen film,” wrote one user.

To which Mandy replied, via production company's account: “Sorry, no one can make Selena do anything she doesn’t want to. I had a long talk with her about not working with him and it didn’t click.”

“Her team are amazing people. There is no fall person here,” she added.

“No one controls her. She makes all her own decisions. No matter how hard you try to advise. It falls on deaf ears.”

The comments come just two months after the 25-year-old told Billboard that she wasn't sure how to respond to the criticism.

“To be honest, I'm not sure how to answer — not because I'm trying to back away from it,” she said at the time.

“[The Harvey Weinstein allegations] actually happened right after I had started [on the movie]. They popped up in the midst of it. And that's something, yes, I had to face and discuss. I stepped back and thought, 'Wow, the universe works in interesting ways'.”

PDA alert!

Rumours have been swirling that Selena Gomez and ex Justin Bieber are back together, but neither of the couple's reps officially confirmed anything. 

Now, it seems that the pair have confirmed it themselves with a public kiss. 

Selena and Justin, who dated on and off for four years before totally ending things, were seen spending yet more time together last night when the kiss happened. 

Selena attended one of Justin's weekly hockey games, which she has done in the past, but this was the first time the duo shared a PDA moment. 

Leaning over the barrier, Selena planted a kiss on her ex.

The two still haven't personally confirmed the reports that they're back together, but now that this snap is going viral, it may be in the pipeline.

In an exclusive interview with NBC News, Selena and her kidney donor, friend Francia Raisa, opened up about the operation for the first time.

When the 25-year-old singer found out her battle with lupus meant she would need a new kidney, she confessed: 'I didn’t want to ask a single person in my life.'

That's when bestie Francia stepped up and gave what could be described as the most generous gift ever. 

 

A post shared by TODAY (@todayshow) on

Selena has been very private about the operation so far, only telling her 128 million Insta followers about the transplant in a post on September 14.

She also divulged in the post that her battle with lupus and subsequent recovery were what kept her out of the spotlight for the summer. The songstress was diagnosed with lupus in 2015, and has invited her fans to educate themselves on the autoimmune disease.

Selena's Mum also expressed her gratitude for Francia’s generosity, saying 'Selena gained a kidney, I was able to keep my little girl, but I also gained another daughter….thank you to everyone who was there for Sel, Francia and our families.'

When asked if she felt like Francia saved her life in the NBC News interview, the Wizards of Waverley Place actress responded simply, 'Because she did. That’s, that’s it.'

Selena recently announced her first public performance since the kidney transplant.

She will be performing her new single ‘Wolves’ at the American Music Awards.

The full interview with Selena and Francia will air on NBC News next Monday.

Selena Gomez recently celebrated her 25th birthday, but while she blew out her candles in the US, her beau The Weeknd was busy headlining mega music festival Lollapalooza in Paris. 

For most partners, the issue of the Atlantic Ocean would have meant that Selena would have spent her birthday without her bf, but when you're a celeb, an ocean is only a slight inconvenience.

After finishing his set in Paris, The Weeknd, real name Abel Tesfaye, dropped everything and immediately hopped on a plane to be with his queen on her birthday, as he shared on his Instagram stories that evening. Couple goals.

13 Reasons Why is one of the most important TV series you can watch this year, and Selena Gomez certainly isn't going to forget about it.

The show centres around Hannah Baker, a high school student who died by suicide. She left behind a set of 13 tapes, which all explain the reasons as to why she ended her life, and honestly, it's something every single one of us needs to watch.

 

Today was a magical day. Another day to be grateful to be alive. Alisha, Selena, and I went together to get ; tattoos. The ; symbol stands for an end of one thought and a beginning of another. Instead of a period, authors use the semicolon to continue a sentence. For us, it means a beginning of another chapter in life, in lieu of ending your life. I struggled with addiction and depression issues through high school and early college. I reached out and asked for help. At the time, I thought my life was over, I thought I'd never live past the age of 21. Today I'm grateful to be alive, in this new chapter of life in recovery, standing with my colleagues and friends, making art that helps other people. If you're struggling, if you feel suicidal, I urge you to click the link in my bio. Ask for help. Start a new chapter with the support of others.and RIP Amy Bleul, who started the semicolon movement.

So, this weekend, Selena brought two cast members, Alisha Boe and Tommy Dorfman, out to LA to get very special tattoos.

Selena, Alisha and Tommy all got matching semicolon inkings to represent a movement which aims to give hope to people suffering from depression, suicidal thoughts, addiction and self-harm.

The series has been hailed as an eye-opener, and both adults and adolescents alike are urging everyone to watch it as it's starting a conversation that needed to be started many years ago.

13 Reasons Why is a book written by Jay Asher, and it was given to Selena six years ago. At first, she was meant to play to role of Hannah, but then decided to executive produce the series.

From the beginning of production, Selena has been hanging out with the crew members and promoting self-love, and we really think she did a great job bringing the whole series together.
