Selena Gomez opens up about how she handles tough days
Selena Gomez says leaning on friends and therapy helps her reset.
The singer, 33, opened up about her mental health during the Rare Impact Fund Benefit in Los Angeles on October 29.
“Some days you just have to let yourself get it out, and then afterwards, a good laugh,” Gomez told People at the charity event, which aims to raise $100 million for youth mental health initiatives.
“I don’t know the key. I just know what works for me,” she added. “I like to maybe just see one friend, talk to my therapist, and lean on people who can really help.”
Gomez attended the event with her husband, Benny Blanco, 37, whom she married in a private ceremony in Santa Barbara, California on September 27.

Justin Bieber labels touring ‘super daunting’
Justin Bieber just admitted that he finds the idea of touring “super daunting.”
The 31-year-old singer addressed the challenges of leaving behind his 28-year-old wife, Hailey Bieber, and their 15-month-old son, Jack Blues, during a Twitch livestream in which Justin and pals carved pumpkins.
He said: “Touring takes so much out of you, and I’ve done it since I was a kid. Even the idea of touring sounds super daunting.”
“I always start out really loving it and then it gets to a point where I am super burnt out,” the Baby singer explained.
However, Justin wants to choose a location where he can perform for two nights.
The two-time Grammy Award-winner said: “I really wanna do spot-date where I pick a city and do a couple of shows and not commit to a whole two years.”
Justin’s admission comes as he is reportedly set to headline Coachella in 2026.
The line-up for the annual music and arts festival, which is to be held at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California, was announced on September 16, and Justin will take to the stage for the Saturday shows, April 11 and 18.
Towards the end of October, the singer joined Twitch and treated his followers to behind-the-scenes videos from a studio where he and his team are putting together his set for the festival.
A source close to Justin told People: “Justin’s Twitch is his way of letting fans see that he’s excited and working hard for his headlining set at Coachella.”
It is pertinent to mention that Justin Bieber’s previous Coachella appearances include when he performed alongside Ariana Grande onstage in 2019, then with Tems in 2024.

PSX rises on IMF tranche hopes, earnings momentum
The stock market rose on Monday as investors priced in an imminent International Monetary Fund (IMF) tranche and a stabilising regional backdrop amid earnings season momentum, with rupee steadiness and firming oil prices supporting risk appetite.
During the session, the Pakistan Stock Exchange’s (PSX) benchmark KSE-100 Index climbed to an intraday high of 163,935.02, gaining 2,303.29 points, or 1.43%, and registered a low of 161,892.59, reflecting a gain of 260.86 points, or 0.16%.
“Bullish activity witnessed on strong earnings outlook and imminent receipt of IMF tranche. Rupee stability and surging global crude oil prices played a catalyst role in bullish activity at PSX,” said Ahsan Mehanti, Managing Director and CEO of Arif Habib Commodities.
The International Monetary Fund’s board is expected to approve a $1.2 billion disbursement for Pakistan, with State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) Governor Jameel Ahmad telling analysts last week that a board meeting is likely by December to release funds under both the Extended Fund Facility and the Resilience and Sustainability Facility.
On the macro front, weekly inflation measured by the Sensitive Price Indicator rose 0.12% in the week to October 30, taking the SPI to 335.53 from 335.14; on a year-on-year basis, the SPI was up 5.05%, according to the Pakistan Bureau of Statistics.
After a losing streak earlier in the week, the market turned higher on Friday, gaining 4,898.86 points (3.13%) to close at 161,631.73 from 156,732.87. Analysts expect range-bound trade in the near term as investors track IMF timing, earnings releases, and developments on the Pakistan-Afghanistan ceasefire.

Jennifer Lawrence speaks horrors of postpartum depression
Jennifer Lawrence is opening up about her postpartum depression.
The 35-year-old actress, who recently welcomed her second child with husband Cooke Maroney, says she deeply struggled right after delivering her baby.
Speaking at the red carpet at the New York City premiere of her new movie, Die My Love, Lawrence revealed: “I didn’t really end up having really bad postpartum [anxiety] until my second [baby].”
“I think that just added another layer,” she explains, adding, ”I mean, I don’t think that you have to have kids to play a parent by any means, but having that information about, you know, what a tiny person needs, and is looking for. Just having that information was helpful.”
“I just thought every time he was sleeping he was dead,” she told the outlet of her baby. “I thought he cried because he didn’t like his life, or me, or his family. I thought I was doing everything wrong, and that I would ruin my children.”
“You’re doing the most amazing thing for your baby,” Lawrence recalled the AI tool telling her. “You’re such a loving mother.”
