The feud is over! Selena Gomez penned a sweet tribute to Francia Raisa on Instagram for her 35th b-day. “Happiest of birthdays to this special human being,” the singer, 31, captioned a series of photos of herself and the actress over the years. “No matter where life takes us, I love you.” The longtime BFFs were rumored to have had a falling-out last year after Selena told Rolling Stone that she “never fit in with a cool group of girls that were celebrities” and called Taylor Swift her “only friend in the industry.” How I Met Your Father star Francia, who famously donated her kidney to Selena after lupus destroyed hers in 2017, commented, “Interesting,” on an Instagram post about the quotes. (Selena, in turn, replied to a TikTok video…

Tom Holland didn’t have a problem, or so he thought. When the Spider-Man: Far From Home star, 27, decided to participate in Dry January last year, he found himself struggling. “All I could think about was having a drink,” Tom confessed. “I was checking the clock — when’s it 12 p.m.? It just really scared me. I just was like, ‘Wow, maybe. Maybe I have a little bit of an alcohol thing.’” To “punish” himself, Tom extended Dry January another month and then another. “By the time I got to June 1, I was the happiest I’ve ever been in my life,” said the actor. “I can’t believe the difference that I feel from not drinking. It’s honestly been the best thing I’ve ever done.”…

When Ryan Gosling auditioned to play Noah in The Notebook more than 20 years ago, he got some humbling feedback. Director Nick Cassavetes “straight up told me,” Ryan later admitted, that “[I had] no natural leading man qualities.” But that, the filmmaker explained, “is why I want you to be my leading man,” a surprised Ryan recalled. The gamble paid off: The former Mickey Mouse Club child actor’s performance in the 2004 romance turned him into a mainstream movie star and his fame exploded. Roles in lauded movies like Half Nelson — which earned Ryan his first Oscar nom — Lars and the Real Girl, Drive and Crazy, Stupid, Love followed. Despite his incredibly successful career, though, Ryan, 42, wasn’t happy. A decade ago, he announced he was stepping away…

The queen of the summer concert scene? It might just be a tie between Taylor Swift and Beyoncé. After both crashing Ticketmaster prior to hitting the road, the singers have gone on to shatter venue records and give local economies a major boost as they crisscross the globe. “Thanks to their loyal fans, they’re raking in millions,” says a source, noting Beyoncé’s Renaissance World Tour banked $40 million in revenue — the most ever by an American artist — during her five-night London stint, while Taylor’s Eras Tour is selling out 70,000-seat stadiums and bringing in upwards of $13 million a show. “Surprisingly, though, they’re not rivals and are supporting each other. There’s just a healthy competition.” BUSINESS IS GOOD Taylor, 33, began her trek in March and was originally…

Ouch! Khloé Kardashian recently shared she never would have thought she needed a nose job — had she not heard Kris Jenner talking about her schnoz. “She didn’t mean harm, but when I was around 9, I overheard my mom telling her friends I needed a nose job,” the reality star, 39, previously revealed. “I was shocked.” The cruel comment stuck with Khloé, who in 2021 confirmed she’d had rhinoplasty. Always concerned with appearances, “Kris was not as sensitive as she could’ve been,” a source admits of the momager, 67. “Since having children of her own, Khloé’s realized how important it is to bolster their self-esteem. She’d never want her kids to feel insecure like she has.”…

Sofía Vergara and Joe Manganiello’s divorce has gone to the dogs! While the exes reportedly signed a prenup, ensuring they’ll both keep the assets they accumulated during their seven-year marriage, there’s one important thing that still needs to be figured out: Who will have custody of Bubbles? “It’s getting very contentious,” a source tells Life & Style. “They both really want the dog, and neither of them is backing down.” A week before they announced their split, Sofía and Joe — who adopted Bubbles shortly after tying the knot in 2015 — posted separate tributes on Instagram for the Chihuahua’s 10th birthday. “No matter how many times [you] bite me I will always love [you],” the Modern Family actress, 51, captioned a pic of “sweet, vicious” Bubbles’ pink frosted cake,…
