Her Instagram followers pointed out the actress hadn't pubicly wished Happy Birthday to actress and singer Selena Gomez.
Selena, who has just turned 33, marked her latest birthday on July 22.
The pair have reportedly been pals since 2022 - with Nicola and Brooklyn spending New Years 2023 with Selena in Mexico.
One follower commented: 'No selena? I miss your friendship with selena."
Another added: "Wondering that too as it's Selena's birthday and she usually posts for that, wall, stories or on Selena's wall."
While a third wrote: " She's not even friends with his Mum anymore, so ..@selenagomez ?"
Nicola and Brooklyn, 26, have reportedly been keeping their distance from his family, after they failed to attend dad David's 50th birthday party.
The Bates Motel star recently shared loved-up snaps alongside her husband.

Brooklyn Beckham unfollows his brothers just hours after reaching out to sister Harper on her birthday
But while the couple appeared closer than ever on their luxury holiday, tensions within the Beckham clan had been simmering.
Brooklyn recently broke his silence amid ongoing family drama, wishing sister Harper a happy birthday just days after being caught in a so-called 'WW3' rift involving his brothers Romeo and Cruz.
The feud reportedly boiled over after Romeo blocked both Brooklyn and Nicola on Instagram, blindsiding the couple during their holiday.
Sources close to The Sun said: 'They had no idea until they saw it online.'
The situation quickly escalated into a full-blown social media saga.
Romeo even posting a cryptic message about "walking away" which many interpreted as a dig at his older brother.
Initial reports claimed Brooklyn and Nicola had unfollowed his siblings first, but insiders told The Sun that wasn't the case.
The Beckham Family Feud
April 2022: Brooklyn marries Nicola Peltz.
Wedding Dress Controversy: Rumours begin circulating that there's tension between Nicola and Victoria Beckham after Nicola chooses not to wear a Victoria Beckham-designed wedding gown. Nicola later clarifies in August 2022 (and again in March 2023) that Victoria's atelier couldn't make the dress in time, but reports in May 2025 suggest Victoria actually changed her mind about making the dress.
Post-Wedding (2022 onwards): Minimal interaction between Nicola and Victoria on social media, and noticeable absence of Nicola at key Beckham family events.
Alleged Wedding "Hijack": In May 2025, a source claimed Victoria "ruined" part of the wedding by allegedly hijacking a dance with Marc Anthony, which was meant for Brooklyn and Nicola. Nicola reportedly ran from the room crying.
March 2025: A resurfaced TikTok of Romeo and Cruz mimicking a "baby voice" (which fans associate with Nicola) sparks speculation of sibling shade.
April 2025: Brooklyn and Nicola are reportedly absent from Victoria Beckham's 51st birthday celebrations in Miami and her Paris Fashion Week show.
May 2025: David Beckham's 50th Birthday Snub: Brooklyn and Nicola are notably absent from David Beckham's 50th birthday celebrations in London, despite being invited. Reports suggest their absence was due to Brooklyn not wanting to be in the same room as Kim Turnbull, the girlfriend of Romeo who had previously been reported to have been dating Brooklyn, who David allegedly opted to have at the party over Nicola.
Rumours emerge of a falling out between Brooklyn and his younger brother Romeo, reportedly due to Romeo's new girlfriend, DJ Kim Turnbull, who allegedly had a past connection with Brooklyn.
Reports surface that the Beckham parents are "hurt and disappointed" that Brooklyn is "playing no part in family life." Sources claim that tensions between Brooklyn and Nicola and his parents are "definitely not beyond repair."
June 2025: Brooklyn and Nicola reportedly enlist a "crisis team" similar to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle for "reputation management" due to the growing media scrutiny.
Cruz Beckham posts cryptic lyrics on Instagram that some interpret as a swipe at Brooklyn.
July 2025: Reports indicate David and Victoria are "desperate" to reconcile with Brooklyn. Brooklyn publicly wishes his sister Harper a happy 14th birthday on Instagram, tagging Nicola, which is seen as a potential "olive branch" and a rare public message to his family amid the rumored rift.
A friend said: 'Brooklyn had no idea about any of this until he read about it online.
'It's possible Romeo and Cruz blocked them, which would make it appear as no longer following the brothers
'They certainly didn't unfollow them or block them - they're as confused as anyone else.
'The first they heard about it was when it was being reported on.'

'The buck stops with the studio!' Harvey Weinstein accusers argue amongst themselves after one victim of pervert Hollywood mogul wins $5.7 million payout whilst dozens of other women had to split $17 million in damages between them
Harvey Weinstein 's victims have spoken of their fury after another of his accusers got a $5.7 million payout, by far the largest for anyone. Zoe Brock said she was happy for British actress Julia Ormond but the deal 'pisses me off' because she was one of dozens of women who had to split $17 million in 2021. Ms Brock said that others may take aim at Disney, who Ms Ormond sued, because 'the buck stops' with the studio as it owned Weinstein's movie company Miramax until 2010. Kaja Sokola, who testified at Weinstein's retrial in New York earlier this year, warned the settlement could be a 'blueprint' for others to follow. This week exclusively revealed the stunning payout to Ms Ormond, 60, who rose to fame starring opposite Brad Pitt in Legends of the Fall. The out of court settlement came after she sued Miramax, Disney and her former agents Creative Artists Agency (CAA) claiming negligence for not protecting her from Weinstein even though they knew he could be dangerous. Ms Ormond claimed that Weinstein stripped naked in front of her at her Manhattan apartment in 1995 and forced her to perform oral sex on him. The settlement from Disney and Miramax does not include any admission of wrongdoing but it could open the door to dozens of similar cases. Ms Ormond (pictured) claimed that Weinstein stripped naked in front of her at her Manhattan apartment in 1995 and forced her to perform oral sex on him And it is a striking contrast to the $17 million settlement from 2021 for more than 40 women with Weinstein's bankrupt film company, The Weinstein Co. Speaking from her home in New Zealand, Ms Brock praised Ms Ormond as a 'queen' for getting such a deal for herself. Ms Brock, 51, a former model, has claimed that Weinstein took off his clothes and demanded a massage in a hotel room when she was 23, forcing her to hide in the bathroom. She said that Ms Ormond has 'done what I wanted to do'. Ms Brock said: 'My whole idea I went to the lawyers with was to go after Disney 'Everything was covered up, everything was'. Ms Brock said that the class action lawsuit, which led to the 2021 settlement, was the thing that 'undid us'. She said: 'The class action lawsuit was the worst thing that any of the Weinstein survivors could have gotten involved in. We were conned into it. It bit us on the a**. 'I was the last person who tried to hold out and not take that settlement and appeal 'The problem was….that I was broke, a single mom, totally trying to get my life back together. The amount it would cost was astronomical. I couldn't afford it'. The day Ms Brock took the deal, which she said was in the 'low, low six figures', she 'puked and cried'. She said: 'It was awful. I put that small amount in a trust for my kid and tried to move on. It pisses me off. 'I am so happy for Julia. Smart girl. Clever girl. What a woman. Go for it. F*** them where it hurts'. Ms Brock said that others may follow suit because 'Miramax was part of Disney, it was a clear step. Miramax did not exist without Disney. 'The buck stops at Disney'. Ms Sokola, 45, a former model, testified at Weinstein's retrial about two instances of sexual assault, one in 2002 when she was just 16 and a second one in 2006. Weinstein was convicted of first-degree criminal sexual act and third-degree rape in 2020 and sentenced to 23 years in prison, but the conviction was overturned on appeal in April 2024 and Weinstein is now being retried on the charges The jury acquitted Weinstein on the counts related to her testimony, however they found him guilty of sexual assault related to another accuser. A mistrial was declared over a rape allegation. Ms Sokola said she was 'really happy' for Ms Ormond. She said: 'What they did, especially the companies, the settlement she received should be a blueprint for all other races that involved other big companies that should be responsible for the people that work for them'. 'Do I think it's fair for the other women? Of course I don't. I wish all the other women got money to at least conceive they couldn't work. 'At the same time if I could give advice to anyone thinking about proceeding in that step, just reach out to the best lawyer you can'. Ms Sokola said that during early discussions with Weinstein's companies figures in excess of $100 million were touted for his victims, which are thought to run into the hundreds. Instead some women ended up with tens of thousands of dollars. Ms Sokola saidL 'I would say if someone feels they have a unique individual case, I'd suggest they go for it. 'This is such a gamble. You never know what will be the outcome'. Ms Brock's lawyer was Doug Wigdor, dubbed the 'no.1 MeToo lawyer in America': his other clients include Cassandra Ventura, who testified earlier this year at the trial of Sean 'Diddy' Combs. During the case it emerged that Ms Ventura had gotten a $20 million payout from Combs after suing him in 2023. She is also set to get another $10 million from a Los Angeles hotel where he subjected her to a brutal beating. Mr Wigdor has another client, former model Sara Ziff, who has also sued Disney for its failure to protect her from Weinstein: her case is ongoing. One hitch for potential litigants is that Ms Ormond's case was filed under the Adult Survivors Act, a 2022 law in New York that allowed a one year window to file civil cases that were normally past the statute of limitations. However other laws may provide a way for cases to be filed and similar legislation could be passed in the future again. Meredith Firetog, a partner at Mr Wigdor's law firm who worked on Ms Ormond's case, said that they were 'happy' with the settlement. She said: 'Harvey Weinstein didn't operate in a vacuum and it's important to hold those people and institutions accountable'. Elizabeth Fagan, the lawyer who brokered the 2021 settlement for Weinstein's victims, did not respond to requests for comment.

And Just Like That: Sex and the City spin-off to end after third season
And Just Like That, the Sex and the City spin-off series, is set to end after its current season. The news was announced on the official social channels by showrunner Michael Patrick King, who wrote that they held off on telling fans to avoid overshadowing the third and final season, which will end with a two-part finale. 'It's with great gratitude we thank all the viewers who have let these characters into their homes and their hearts over these many years,' he said. The follow-up to the award-winning HBO series brought back original stars Sarah Jessica Parker, Kristin Davis and Cynthia Nixon to reprise their roles. 'Carrie Bradshaw has dominated my professional heartbeat for 27 years. I think I have loved her most of all,' Parker wrote on Instagram. 'I know others have loved her just as I have. Been frustrated, condemned and rooted for her. The symphony of all those emotions has been the greatest soundtrack and most consequential companion.' Davis wrote that she is 'profoundly sad' in a post. The show had initially proved a hit on HBO's streaming service Max, bringing in record viewers and signups yet it lost steam over time while also failing to win over critics and never registering with awards voters. According to Samba, ratings for the season three premiere were down 7% from the second season and 62% from the first. In a July article for the Hollywood Reporter, Lily Ford wrote about the community of 'hate-watchers' who now ridicule rather than respect the show. Ford wrote that 'over the course of three seasons, fans have been forced to unlearn everything we thought we knew and loved about Sex and the City'. Sex and the City was a groundbreaking look at the dating lives of four women in New York City, proving to be one of HBO's first original ratings hits and winning multiple awards including seven Emmys and eight Golden Globes. It was followed up by two hit movies but the second received negative reviews and a third was ultimately nixed with rumours that Kim Cattrall refused to be involved. Cattrall later came back to And Just Like That for a one season cameo.

A particular set of skills: how Liam Neeson went from ‘master actor' to deadpan Naked Gun spoofery
Liam Neeson may have gained pop-culture immortality for his gravelly growl of a certain line of dialogue in the 2008 hostage thriller Taken – 'I don't have money, but what I do have are a very particular set of skills' – but the release of his new film, a reboot of the classic spoof cop movie The Naked Gun represents another remarkable turn in Neeson's distinguished career, which has taken in heavyweight prestige dramas, historical biopics, blockbusting science fiction, superhero epics and head-cracking action cinema. In The Naked Gun, Neeson has for the first time taken the lead role in an out-and-out comedy. He plays Frank Drebin Jr, the police-detective son of Leslie Nielsen's Frank Drebin in the original. Created by the celebrated comedy team of David Zucker, Jim Abrahams and Jerry Zucker, The Naked Gun was released in 1988, with Nielsen featuring in two sequels, The Naked Gun 2½: The Smell of Fear from 1991 and Naked Gun 33⅓: The Final Insult in 1994, as well as the preceding TV series Police Squad!, which aired in 1982. Neeson's intense, unflappable acting style has been acclaimed by critics as a perfect match for Nielsen's celebrated stone-face delivery; the Guardian's chief film critic Peter Bradshaw said that Neeson 'deadpans it impeccably', while the Telegraph's Robbie Collin writes that Neeson 'delivers his dialogue with a gravelly matter-of-factness that only compounds its lunacy'. At the age of 73, Neeson's current status as the star of a hit mainstream comedy – augmented by rumours of a romance with his co-star Pamela Anderson – is a world away from his emergence as a bona fide leading man in the early 1990s, when he put his teenage proficiency in boxing to good use in the Scotland-set drama The Big Man, bagged an Oscar nomination for playing Oskar Schindler in Schindler's List, and nobly donned plaid, kilt and sporran as 18th century highlander Rob Roy. Neeson's ability to project a weighty sense of gravitas in these wildly differing roles was compounded by his casting as Irish revolutionary leader Michael Collins, in Neil Jordan's 1996 biopic, the most politically sensitive – and closest to home – of his early leading roles. Born in Ballymena, Northern Ireland, Neeson was raised Catholic but later said he was, ironically, inspired to become an actor after watching the firebrand Protestant leader Rev Ian Paisley preach, saying: 'It was incredible to watch this 6ft-plus man just bible-thumping away.' Neeson's career took its first unexpected deviation in the late 1990s when he was cast as Jedi master Qui-Gon Jinn in Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace, George Lucas's return to the Star Wars universe in 1999, with Lucas describing Neeson as 'a master actor, who the other actors will look up to'. This excursion into fantasy-blockbuster moviemaking was cemented with a role as principal antagonist Ra's al Ghul in Christopher Nolan's Batman Begins in 2005, and lending his voice to Aslan the lion in the three Narnia films from the same period: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, Prince Caspian, and The Voyage of the Dawn Treader. Neeson's standing in the industry also allowed him to take smaller roles in landmark films in the same period, including Gangs of New York and Love Actually. He had, however, lost his leading-man status in Hollywood, and it was the success of Taken – a French production, written by Luc Besson and directed by Pierre Morel – that returned him to the spotlight. Neeson later said he was 'stunned' by its impact, adding: 'I really thought it would be kind of a little side road from my so-called career. Really thought it would go straight to video.' Taken's box office receipts amounted to nine times its $25m (£19m) budget and virtually inaugurated the 'dad action' movie, thrillers featuring leads in late middle age; it is also the film with which Neeson is arguably now most identified with. Neeson went on to make a string of dad action films, including Unknown, Non-Stop, The Ice Road and Retribution. Neeson's reinvention as an action star coincided with a period of personal tragedy, after the death of his wife, Natasha Richardson, in a skiing accident in 2009. The pair had met in 1993 while co-starring in a Broadway production of Eugene O'Neill's play Anna Christie, and married a year later. Neeson later said that grief over her death was partly responsible for his withdrawing from the lead role in Steven Spielberg's biopic of Abraham Lincoln, released in 2012, in which he was replaced by Daniel Day-Lewis. More recently Neeson was heavily criticised, and subsequently apologised, for saying that, in his youth, he had gone out looking to 'kill' a random black man in revenge for a sexual assault on a friend. Neeson had mentioned the incident in 2019 during the press tour for another action film, Cold Pursuit, later saying: 'The horror of what happened to my friend ignited irrational thoughts that do not represent the person I am. In trying to explain those feelings today, I missed the point and hurt many people.' Neeson's career, however, appears to have been relatively unaffected by the controversy, as well as his comment in 2018 that the recent wave of sexual misconduct allegations in the entertainment industry was 'bit of a witch-hunt'. With The Naked Gun commanding significant media attention – as much for speculation on Neeson's personal life as for the film itself – the actor's stock is as high as it has ever been.
