Selena Gomez On The Cover Of Interview Magazine (Spring 2020)

Selena Gomez opened up to Amy Schumer in a new profile for Interview Magazine published Monday (April 13) about reclaiming her narrative from the media, her health journey and more.

“My intention was never to become a tabloid,” the superstar told Schumer about the constant scrutiny she’s endured over her career. “So when things kind of happened that way, it got out of control. And then I was like, ‘Wait, none of this is true.’ The way the media has sometimes tried to explain things has made it sound really bad, when in reality there’s nothing wrong with the fact that I needed to go away or that I fell in love. I had to start opening up because people were taking away my narrative, and it was killing me. I’m so young and I’m going to keep changing, and no one has the right to tell me how my life’s going.”

During the chat, Gomez reflected on using her celebrity to speak out about mental and physical health. “I’ve gone through a lot of medical issues, and I know that I can reach people who are going through similarly scary things — an organ transplant, or being on dialysis, or going away for treatment,” she said. “A huge part of why I have a platform is to help people. That’s why I think I’m okay with the magnitude. I mean, I’m not really okay with it — but I’m going to say that I am because it’s worth it. I know that I’m making someone somewhere feel good, or feel understood or heard, and that’s worth it for me.”

The superstar also opened up about the process of creating her latest album, Rare, starting with lead single — and Gomez’s first No. 1 hit on the Hot 100 — “Lose You To Love Me.”

“I wrote it at the beginning of last year, and had just gotten out of treatment,” she revealed. “It was a moment when I came back and I was like, ‘I’m ready to go into the studio with people I trust and start working on songs.’ There was an air around it where people were very happy, because it was like I was going to finally be me. But I didn’t necessarily see it that way at the time. When I wrote the song, I was basically saying that I needed to hit rock-bottom to understand that there was this huge veil over my face.”

Man Claiming to Be LeBron James’ Son Arrested After Alleged Trespassing at Los Angeles Home

Man-Claiming

A man who allegedly claimed to be LeBron James’ son has been arrested after allegedly trespassing on the basketball star’s Los Angeles property. The incident happened Friday, November 6, when security at James’ home called police, saying they saw a man they thought was trying to break in. Officials said the man did not enter the home itself. Still, authorities were called after he was identified on security camera footage.

The security team contacted police around 9 p.m. local time, law enforcement sources said. The team saw the alleged intruder on camera footage and called officers about the situation. Information said the man was arrested at the scene by the Los Angeles Police Department on suspicion of stalking.

An odd feature of the case was the suspect’s alleged declaration of who he was. The man told police he was James’s son. The information provided does not elaborate on the claim, nor does it establish any actual familial connection between the man and the basketball star.

The incident occurred while James was out of Los Angeles. He was back in his home city Friday night, playing for the Philadelphia 76ers against the Cleveland Cavaliers. The game apparently ended the team’s successful start to the NBA season, but the more serious concern that night was the reported security incident at his California home.

The report also notes that James plays for the 76ers and lives in New York City. His wife, Savanna, recently shared why she decided to stay in California with the family instead of moving with him. However, the information did not specify whether anyone was home at the Los Angeles property at the time of the alleged intrusion.

The information on hand confirms James’ absence because of the game, but it does not establish who else might have been inside the residence. It does not suggest the alleged suspect entered the home. However, the reported intrusion involved the property, and security personnel identified the man via surveillance footage before police arrived.

The arrest has raised questions about the circumstances of the alleged stalking incident, particularly with reports that the suspect claimed to be James’ son. But the explanation provided doesn’t include a motive, additional background on the man, or other details about what he was doing on the property before security intervened.

Details released so far include the security team’s call to police, identification of the alleged intruder through camera footage, and the man’s arrest at the scene. Reports indicate the suspect did not enter the residence, and no further information has been released about the investigation.

This is a reminder of the security issues that can happen around high-profile homes, but we’re not getting the full story here on this one. James was playing in Cleveland at the time, as authorities reportedly handled the situation at his Los Angeles home

Young Thug Throws Halloween Party, Ice Spice Is Patrick Star

Ice-Spice

Ice Spice channeled her love for “SpongeBob SquarePants” into her Halloween costume, donning a Patrick Star outfit that apparently stole the show at a party she hosted with Young Thug. Another playful moment in the Bronx rapper’s long-standing relationship with the animated franchise, her costume drew attention after “Complex Music” captured it.

Ice Spice’s love for “SpongeBob SquarePants” has been well documented, including her collaboration with the franchise. This Halloween, she took that interest a step further, dressing up as one of the series’ recognizable characters, Patrick Star. The costume was a departure from a typical Halloween look, diving into the cartoon world and turning the character into a full outfit.

Sources say the party was thrown by Ice Spice and Young Thug on the night of October 31. “Complex Music” shared the look on Twitter, and it became a noticeable part of the event’s coverage because of the Patrick Star look. The details describe the outfit as one that made fans turn heads, but they don’t break down the costume’s individual pieces.

Ice Spice has made a name for herself with her personality in her public appearances, and the Patrick Star costume was a direct nod to a franchise that she has embraced. The connection was clear because of her previous work with “SpongeBob SquarePants,” but the Halloween costume gave it a different context.

Young Thug was also involved, giving the reported party another recognizable name. The details don’t say what costume he wore or anything else about the guests, performances, or activities. The star of the show was Ice Spice’s transformation into Patrick Star and the attention it received.

Halloween is usually a time for artists to dress up as familiar characters, and Ice Spice’s pick was a nod to both humor and fandom. Rather than choosing a costume unrelated to her, she went with the universe she’s already been associated with, which makes the Patrick Star look fit her current public persona.

The provided information does not specify whether the costume was a replica or a more whimsical take. It does, however, name Patrick Star as the inspiration and say the look caught fans’ attention. Don’t assume the outfit’s exact construction without more visual details.

Ice Spice’s Halloween appearance gave another memorable pop-culture moment to her year of references. The rapper made her “SpongeBob SquarePants” fandom the center of attention at a party she reportedly threw with Young Thug, with Patrick Star being the character of choice. According to the account, the interesting thing about the event was that the costume was visible.
