Next year’s Oscars are shaping up to be a thrilling competition among some of music’s biggest stars, with Selena Gomez, Lady Gaga, and Ariana Grande all vying for a Best Supporting Actress nomination. 

The 97th Academy Awards, scheduled for March 2, 2025, have sparked excitement as predictions suggest these pop divas could be in the running for the coveted award.

According to Variety’s Awards Circuit Predictions, all three artists are positioned to campaign for their nominations ahead of the award season. 

Selena Gomez is already making waves for her performance as wife and mother Jessi Del Monte in Netflix’s musical drama, Emilia Pérez. 

Selena stars alongside a talented cast in the upcoming Netflix film, featuring Karla Sofía Gascón, Zoe Saldaña, Édgar Ramírez, and Adriana Paz. 

The film tells the story of an underrated lawyer, played by Saldaña, who navigates a complex world where a large law firm is more focused on freeing criminals than delivering justice.

In a statement about the film, Karla Sofía Gascón described it as a unique blend of genres, saying, “You have a musical that is not a musical, an action movie that’s not an action movie, a drama that’s not a drama, a comedy that’s not a comedy. 

It is such a great gift, and I’m so proud to be part of it.”

Emilia Pérez is set to premiere on Netflix on November 13 in the US, Canada, and the UK, promising viewers an exciting and innovative cinematic experience!

Prince William sparked a royal frenzy during a recent appearance that had nothing to do with his signature stubble. 

Known as the Duke of Rothesay when in Scotland, the Prince of Wales attended a lunch event in Aberdeen hosted by Homewards Aberdeen for representatives from the homelessness sector.

One particular snapshot from the event quickly captured attention, showing William looking ahead with what appeared to be a halo above his head—likely the result of light reflecting from a fitting. 

The amusing image added an unexpected touch of intrigue to his visit, delighting royal fans and prompting a flurry of reactions on social media.

Social media erupted with comments after a snapshot of Prince William at a recent event in Aberdeen went viral, showcasing him with a halo-like effect above his head. 

One user quipped, “O Wow. Hoping God is onboard too,” while another added, “He’s rocking that halo.”

The commentary continued, with one fan exclaiming, “Holy Cow!! or should I say Holy Prince!” Another remarked, “He’s an Angel,” and yet another chimed in with, “Saintly gorgeous!!!”

Demi Lovato is ready to talk about all her difficult experiences.

In her new documentary Child Star, which marks her directorial debut, Lovato did not shy away from sharing her dark moments.

The American singer went on revealing the bitter truth about life and career, explaining how the fame impacted her mental health.

“I didn’t realize that it would have such a negative impact on my mental health,” the 32-year-old star said.

She continued, “And unfortunately, sometimes that looks explosive, like an incident where you punch your backup dancer on an airplane or you overdose from heroin.”

For the unversed, back in 2010, Lovato punched a dancer on stage where she was performing for The Jonas Brothers tour. The incident led to the Sorry Not Sorry songstress to go to rehab and take a break from music.

As revealed in her documentary, the Disney alum was abusing drugs and alcohol at the time, which caused her three strokes and risked a near fatal heart attack.

However, the dancer incident was the moment that she realised that this could not go on.

Lovato shared that creating the personal documentary gave her a chance to right her wrongs.

“Talking to people who knew me at a different time in my life was challenging because I wanted to apologize for my behavior,” the Camp Rock actress confessed.

Looking back at her past, the actress recognises “I wasn’t the nicest person to work with at times because I was struggling so much internally, and I was under a lot of pressure.”

This comes after the Grey’s Anatomy star shared in a recent interview that she’s in a “really good place” now and “figuring out” her sound to make her musical comeback. 

Fiona Harvey, who claims to be the real-life Martha featured in Richard Gadd’s true story, expressed fear following Baby Reindeer’s success at the 76th Primetime Emmy Awards.

After the ceremony, where the series received four accolades among its 11 nominations, she told the Daily Mail that she is afraid to leave her home due to the potential for attacks.

“I’m afraid to go outside out of fear of being attacked. Some weeks, I don’t leave my apartment,” Harvey shared. “I’m suffering from constant panic attacks, chest pains, anxiety, nightmares, depression, nervousness, stomach pains, loss of appetite, fear, and insomnia.”

Baby Reindeer won the Emmy for Best Limited or Anthology Series, and Jessica Gunning, who portrayed Martha in the Netflix series, took home the award for Best Supporting Actress in a Limited Series.

Additionally, Richard Gadd earned accolades for Best Actor in a Limited Series and Best Writer for his work on the project.

Harvey’s lawyer, Richard Roth, also spoke to the Daily Mail, describing the situation as a source of suffering for his client.

“The disparity in their treatment is obvious. Richard Gadd is now a multiple Emmy Award-winning star, thanks to Netflix’s fictitious ‘true story,’ while she continues to suffer,” he noted.

In May, Harvey and her legal team filed a $170 million lawsuit against Netflix, claiming she was defamed “on a magnitude and scale without precedent.”

She argues in the lawsuit that Baby Reindeer misleadingly labels its events as a “true story” in the first episode, which she describes as “the biggest lie in television history.”
