Selena Gomez rang in her 33rd birthday with a mix of love, laughter, and purpose - and her fiance, Benny Blanco, made sure fans got a peek into all of it. Marking the occasion in true Benny fashion, the music producer shared a series of unflattering-yet-adorable photos of Selena fast asleep in different settings.'Our life is a dream, so I'm never waking u up. Happy birthday, my love (sic),' he captioned the post, winning the internet with a moment that perfectly captured their sweet, goofy out the post here: Photo: Instagram/Benny Blanco While Blanco had fans chuckling, Gomez used the day to spotlight a cause close to her heart - mental health. In a heartfelt note to her fans and followers, the 'Only Murders' in the Building star reflected on the journey of the Rare Impact Fund, which she launched in 2020 to expand mental health services for young people around the world. So far, it's helped over two million youth and supported more than 30 organisations globally.'I wanted to build something that could create lasting change,' Gomez wrote, introducing a new chapter in the form of the Rare Impact Fund Giving Circle - a grassroots initiative where supporters can pool resources and directly empower mental health organisations. 'It's about believing in the power of community,' she said, urging people to help shape a future where every young person has access to the support they deserve. Photo: Instagram/Selena Gomez Selena also took a moment to thank her fans for their unwavering love. 'Whether you cheered me on from the sidelines, shared in my highs and lows, or simply offered a listening ear, you have made this year unforgettable,' she wrote. 'I'm filled with excitement and hope for what's to come.'And in classic Selena style, she didn't forget her day ones - giving a nod to longtime bestie Taylor Swift in her birthday post, a subtle reminder that her friendships remain as rock solid as her activism.- EndsTrending Reel

Selena Gomez Celebrates Her 33rd Birthday with a Cake Topped with Pickle Candles
Selena Gomez never misses a moment to let her fans know her favorite snack item, even when she's doing heartwarming work. On Tuesday, July 22, the Only Murders in the Building star took to Instagram to announce the launch of Rare Impact Fund's Giving Circle, in partnership with Dollar Donation Club. According to the announcement, as reported by PEOPLE, the fund was 'built to democratize giving and foster purpose-driven community,' by allowing people to pool their resources and support organizations 'doing life-changing work.' The launch announcement also comes in celebration of the star's 33rd birthday. The commemorate the milestone, Gomez shared an image of herself holding a green heart-shaped cake adorned with pickle-shaped candles, surely an homage to her favorite snack. It's no secret that the singer has a deep appreciation for tangy treat – she even has a preferred brand. Back in February 2024, Gomez's fiancé, Benny Blanco, 37, got the label of her favorite pickle brand, Best Maid Pickles, designed on his toenails. That same month, in celebration of Valentine's Day, the famed music producer ordered a shipment of Best Maid Pickles from Texas to California so he could 'Fry pickles and get laid.' He documented the sweet gesture on TikTok, and even revealed his secret ingredient to the traditional Southern dish: Sprite in the fry batter. Safe to say that Blanco is firmly into his future wife's love for pickles and has incorporated them into his unique food videos. For instance, while scrolling through food videos, Blanco came across a breadless sandwich in which cheese, a pickle slice, balsamic vinegar and basil were smushed together between slices of watermelon. It didn't take long for the food connoisseur to create the sandwich himself and get Gomez to taste test along with him. "I don't want to. I'm not going to like this,' said a hesitant Gomez as she looked at the monstrous pink-hued sandwich. 'But,' she went on, 'I love pickles.' Read the original article on People

After jerking his arm free, Washington repeatedly told the photographer to stop, before removing himself from the exchange entirely. The altercation took place shortly before Washington was awarded an Honorary Palme d'Or at the event, which is known as the festival's highest honor.
