Selena Gomez reveals she had the biggest crush on rapper Ice Cube
Singer-actress Selena Gomez revealed to have a crush on rapper Ice Cube, when she was five. Appearing on a new episode of Complex's GOAT Talk, the 32-year-old actress, who is engaged to record producer Benny Blanco, said: 'Can I tell you my first one that I had a crush on, Ice Cube? I had the biggest crush on him when I was, like, five.' Gomez subsequently said why she was so infatuated with the rapper. She shared: 'It's so weird, but I just thought he would protect me. I'm only saying it simply based on my childhood.' Gomez actually listened to a lot of rap music during her younger years, and she was a huge fan of rapper Eminem at the time, too, reports She explained: 'One of (my favourite rappers) was Eminem only because I grew up listening to him. My dad was a DJ so he would remix all kinds of songs, and every time it was an Eminem song, I would just get so excited.' Gomez announced her engagement to Benny in December 2024, and she previously revealed that she feels 'so excited' about the prospect of having children. The singer said she would love to raise children with Benny one day. She 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.' 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.

Hollywood: 7 Former Celeb Besties Who Ended Their Friendships
The sad truth is, not every friendship will last. While some may dispute this, it's hard to deny that we all experience the loss of friends we thought would be with us for life. You might have even chosen bridesmaid dresses with someone who is now not even on your wedding invite list. When it comes to friendships, celebrities are no different from the rest of us. Decade-long feuds can lead to a lifetime of estrangement, with little hope for reconciliation. However, a select few have managed to set aside their differences and rekindle their friendships. Discover some of the most famous long-running feuds among celebrities right here. 1. Selena Gomez and Demi Lovato The childhood friends met on the set of 'Barney and Friends' in 2002 and went on to become Disney Channel stars, landing roles on 'Wizards of Waverly Place' and 'Sonny with a Chance.' The child actors even appeared in the film 'Princess Protection Program' together. Throughout their adolescence, the inseparable duo showed love and support for each other's music and acting careers. However, as their careers progressed, their friendship deteriorated. Their 18-year-long friendship had come to an end after Demi Lovato's interview in 2020, when the 'Cool for the Summer' singer confirmed that they were not friends. 2. Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie The pair made their Hollywood debut in 2003 on a reality TV show called 'The Simple Life,' and went on to become the hottest socialites, the 'It' girls of their generation, and ultimate BFFs throughout their careers. Despite their close bond, the girls had a feud that strained their friendship, which was exacerbated by their fans taking sides while they were on Season 3 of their reality show. 'It's no big secret that Nicole and I are no longer friends. Nicole knows what she did, and that's all I'm ever going to say about it,' the 'Cooking with Paris' reality star commented on their friendship in 2005. Nonetheless, the two stars reconciled in 2007 and have remained friends to this day. In fact Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie are reuniting for a brand new reality series on Peacock. 3. Winona Ryder and Gwyneth Paltrow These actresses were close friends in the 1990s and became even closer when they began dating BFFs Matt Damon and Ben Affleck. However, a rift formed between the 'Edward Scissorhands' and 'Emma' stars as a result of a rumour. Gwyneth allegedly stole the script for 'Shakespeare in Love' from Winona. It was unclear whether Gwyneth stole the script or contacted her agent about a role in the film. In any case, the actress was cast in the film and won an Academy Award for Best Actress for her performance as Viola de Lesseps. As of now, the two have not reconciled. 4. Jennifer Lopez and Eva Longoria During her third divorce from ex-husband Marc Anthony, the 'Ain't Your Mama' singer also lost one of her closest friends, the 'Desperate Housewives' actress Eva Longoria. Following the divorce, the actress consoled Marc, which J-Lo saw as a huge betrayal on her part. To make matters worse, two months after J-Lo gave birth to her twins, a photo of Eva sitting on Marc's lap at a party in Las Vegas was published. The now-married actress and singer has made no attempt to reconcile their friendship. 5. Rihanna and Katy Perry Rihanna and Katy Perry have always been photographed together at events, adoring each other in front of the press, and so on. The 'Hot N' Cold' singer, however, drew the line when Rihanna began dating her abusive ex-boyfriend, Chris Brown, again. The 'Diamonds' singer and songwriter reportedly shaded Katy Perry when she began dating John Mayer (who is now her ex) after her divorce with Russell Brand. While we haven't seen the pair out in public together, the former American Idol judge gave Riri a sweet shoutout ahead of her gig at the 2023 Super Bowl. 6. Kylie Jenner and Jordyn Woods Kylie Jenner, the reality TV star from 'Keeping Up With The Kardashians' and founder of Kylie Cosmetics, had severed ties with her best friend Jordyn Woods following a cheating scandal involving Khloe Kardashian and baby daddy Tristan Thompson. Despite the fact that Khloe appears to have forgiven both Tristan and Jordyn, Kylie and Jordyn have not rekindled their friendship, preferring to keep their distance on social media. 7. Kid Cudi and Kanye West Kanye West was not only a former collaborator of Kid Cudi, but also the rapper's mentor. Kanye demanded that Kid Cudi cut all ties with Pete Davidson after Kim Kardashian revealed their relationship. Kid, on the other hand, refused, prompting Kanye to publicly insult Kid on social media. Kid Cudi's mental health began to suffer as a result of the public criticism. 'Do you know how it feels to wake up one day, look at your social media, and you're trending because somebody's talking some s**t about you? That s**t pissed me off. That he had the power to f**k with me that week. That he used his power to f**k with me. You f**king with my mental health now, bro. I'm not one of your kids. I'm not Kim. It doesn't matter if I'm friends with Pete or not,' Kid Cudi said. Bonus Kim Kardashian and Larsa Pippen Kim Kardashian and Larsa Pippen, close friends, had a falling out in 2020, and the entire Kardashian family members unfollowed her on social media. Larsa claims that Kim's then-husband, Kanye West, played a role in their breakup. In an interview with E!News, the 'Real Housewives of Miami' reality TV star admitted that she was caught in the middle of the couple's relationship and was kicked out simply for being present. 'I knew too much, I was a problem, and so whatever. That's kind of what happened,' she elaborated.
