Selena Gomez is officially a billionaire, but one who doesn’t like to brag about it! The Bloomberg Billionaires Index recently reported the Hand to Myself singer’s $1.3 billion worth — credit to her global brand Rare Beauty. On September 30, Gomez stepped out for the premiere of her highly-anticipated film Emilia Pérez at the Alice Tully Hall’s 62nd New York Film Festival.  

During her appearance on the red carpet, the Emmy-nominated actress spoke to Entertainment Tonight about her newly earned financial title. “I’m very grateful,” she said. “I personally think it’s distasteful to talk about money,” she added. But she credited those who brought her brand’s products without whom it wouldn’t be possible. 

“They’re the ones that made this dream come true, so I’m really honored and just happy,” she added. With her newly earned billionaire title, Gomez reportedly became one of the youngest female self-made billionaires in the United States. 

As per the index, the Only Murders in the Building actress’s major sources of income contributing to her financial status — apart from her beauty brand — are her endorsements, touring, her mental health startup Wondermind, albums, acting, streaming, and real estate.

Mahima Chaudhry made her acting debut with the 1997 movie Pardes. The actress was rising to fame when she met with a fatal accident that left scars on her face. But since she didn’t want her career to take a setback, she requested her Dil Kya Kare co-star Ajay Devgn and director Prakash Jha to not speak about the incident in a bid to ‘salvage’ her career. 

During the inception of her career, veteran Indian actress Mahima Chaudhry met with an accident that led to 67 glass pieces being taken out of her face. During a chat with Radio Nasha, the star expressed that when the incident took place, she didn’t realize that she had multiple cuts on her face. When she went to the bathroom and saw the mirror, she realized that her face was injured. But before that, she was telling Dil Kya Kare helmer Prakash Jha that if nothing had happened, they should continue shooting the movie. But the filmmaker denied doing so and suggested they should wait, go out, and talk about new dates.

When he returned after having a conversation with actor and producer of the film, Ajay Devgn, the first thing she told them was “Please don’t tell anyone that I have gone through this. Let me at least try and see what I can salvage my career with.” Since then, the two celebs, along with the production team never spoke about it to anyone. It was Mahima who finally broke her silence about it 20 years after the accident. “It is commendable. I used to go on set and everyone could see it,” she recalled.

The Dhadkan actress stated that a film magazine secretly documented it and called her ‘scarface’. But apart from that, there was no discussion about her injury. At the time when she thought she wouldn’t be able to come out of it, the Singham Again star would tell her that after the surgeries, it would all be fine but she didn’t believe it. “I was thinking of other career options. Even today, my one eye is smaller than the other. Back then, it was very stressful,” she stated adding that she never faced the camera straight and would always angle her face a bit. Eventually, Dil Kya Kare, which also starrer Kajol and Chandrachur Singh became a box office success.

The Scream film franchise is expanding with the seventh edition of the movies releasing in 2026. The makers of the movies have set the date for the movie release to be on February 27, 2026.

According to the reports, Neve Campbell will return to the franchise by reprising her role of Sidney Prescott. The actress’ return was confirmed after her alleged salary disputes with Kevin Williamson, the creator of the movie series, and the director of the upcoming film. 

As for the date slot, the film has been perfectly placed with no other major titles clashing in on the same weekend. On the following weekend, The Cat in the Hat and Pixar’s Hoppers are slated, which is expected to attract an audience in bulk. 

Ahead of setting the date, the film’s cast and crew members underwent some offscreen issues, including Melissa Barera getting fired from the franchise over her comments on the Israel-Hamas war, which fueled the fire.

Jenna Ortega was roped in for the upcoming film but ultimately had to drop out due to her date commitments on Wednesday, and the director, too, got replaced due to some unknown reasons.
