www.billboard.com/music/music-news/selena-gomez-no-internet-four-years-1235055475/Selena Gomez Reveals She Hasn’t Used the Internet in 4 Years: ‘It Makes Me Feel Normal’ Gomez recently launched Wondermind, a website dedicated to providing mental health resources. 04/5/2022 With 310 million Instagram followers and counting, Selena Gomez is one of the most followed people on the planet. And yet, she hasn’t logged on to the platform — or the internet — in nearly five years. Coinciding with the launch of her mental health resource site Wondermind, the 29-year-old singer-actress stopped by Good Morning America Monday (April 4) to chat about her mental wellness journey, which she says took a huge turn for the better after she decided to step away from social media. “I haven’t been on the internet in four and a half years,” she told GMA. “It has changed my life completely.” She explained that while she assists her team with curating her content, she herself isn’t the person hitting the post button. “I am happier, I am more present, I connect more with people,” she said of the setup. “It makes me feel normal.” Gomez has been open in the past about her struggles with her bipolar disorder diagnosis and her struggles with anxiety, which she says were only exacerbated by life under the spotlight. Becoming healthier meant finding ways to remove herself as much as possible from that lifestyle. “I can’t believe that I’m where I am mentally, just because of how I took the necessary steps in order to kind of remove myself from that … because it’s just not normal,” Gomez said of fame. Aimed at destigmatizing and democratizing mental health resources, Wondermind is the brain child of Gomez, her mother Mandy Teefy and businesswoman Daniella Pierson. The site offers a newsletter and promises the future arrival of a podcast, as well as psychological practices and tools people can use to practice “mental fitness.” “If I’m known for anything, I hope it’s simply just for the way I care about people,” the Only Murders in the Building star said. “I really really want people to be understood and seen and heard. Those days where I don’t want to get out of bed, if I had something like Wondermind — even if it took me a minute to get into it — it’s just there, and there’s something really comforting about that.” The “Lose You to Love Me” artist also spoke briefly about her feelings on entering her 30s this year. “I couldn’t be more thrilled to just step into this chapter — alone, independently, strong, confidently,” she said. “That’s all I really want. I’m excited.” Watch Selena talk about her mental health journey, quitting social media and launching Wondermind with GMA below:

www.billboard.com/music/music-news/cardi-b-shuts-down-instagram-account-1235055051/Cardi B Continues Her Social Media Purge, Shuts Down Instagram Account The rapper also deleted her Twitter account following a heated exchange with fans about not attending the Grammys. By Glenn Rowley 04/4/2022 Looks like Cardi B is continuing to step away from social media. During the 2022 Grammys on Sunday night (April 3), the rapper deactivated her Twitter account, and now, her Instagram profile is no longer active. While Cardi, who won her first Grammy back in 2019 for best rap album for Invasion of Privacy, didn’t give any insight into her reasoning before calling it quits on Instagram, the decision comes shortly after she did the very same thing to her Twitter profile. During the Grammys ceremony, the rapper got into a heated exchange with a number of her Twitter followers, who were disappointed their idol chose not to attend the awards show despite being nominated for best rap performance for her 2021 single “Up.” “I’m not going to a award if I don’t got a new song to perform Or my album ain’t out …Next year,” she tweeted toward the start of the back-and-forth, insisting to fans that she had never so much as hinted she would be in attendance at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. (Not that it mattered much in the end. The award Cardi was up for went to Baby Keem and Kendrick Lamar for their collab “Family Ties.”) However, Cardi became more and more upset as fans refused to accept her reasoning, ultimately declaring, “On God I hate this f—in dumb— fan base. You got the slow dumb—es dragging my kids all cause y’all though I was going to the Grammys and I didn’t the f— ? When the f— I hinted I was going ?just f—in stupid I can’t I needs to protect myself” She followed that with, “I been posting on my IG stories where I been at … like clearly I’m in my house and I’m in NY.” Now, those Instagram Stories in question can no longer be viewed, along with all the pictures the artist — who is a mom of two — has posted over the years of her relationship with Offset, their daughter Kulture, the September arrival of her baby son, news and announcements about her career and more. At press time, her official Facebook account is still active.

At press time, her official Facebook account is still active. I am presuming here that Sims keeps posting articles featuring this or that artist quitting social media as an argument that social media is not necessary. Well, if you're Cardi B, Adele, Selena Gomez, Lana Del Ray or numerous other established stars, then that is correct. Your "brand" has reached a level where you can make a choice between the poential benefits and drawbacks. Jackie is simply not in that club. Of course, this also requires a team in place that can maximize the benefits and so it may not make a difference. |

But technically, attacks against Jackie aren't off topic. lol Hey, I didn't write that! There are bugs in the proboards software that if under certain circumstances (e.g., you use the "Quick Reply" feature), non-member names are ignored and it defaults to the first member username. I have seen situations where it appeared in the quote box that I must have been arguing with myself. |

If you look at Selena Gomez's instagram you would never know she is not posting because she has people posting for her. Plus all the top celebrities have fan sites that post about them all the time. www.instagram.com/selenagomez/Jackie's site if Jackie doesn't post we don't see anything. |

www.forbes.com/sites/marisadellatto/2022/05/23/tiktoks-power-revealed-halsey-claims-label-wont-release-song-without-viral-post/?sh=3a6eb022e4f1TikTok’s Power Revealed: Halsey Claims Label Won’t Release Song Without Viral Post Marisa Dellatto Forbes Staff In a revealing complaint about the state of record publishing—and the increasing control social media platforms have over it—Singer Halsey alleged Sunday their record label Capitol Music Groups won’t release a new song unless they can first “fake” a “viral moment on TikTok” surrounding it, complaining “everything is marketing.” Halsey made the allegations in a TikTok that has been viewed 7.9 million times as of Monday afternoon, writing that they “wanna release ASAP” the song and were told it couldn’t be released despite being “in this industry for eight years” and selling “over 165 million records.” On Twitter, Halsey said the song has been ready for over a month and the music video for it is done. The “Closer” performer tweeted that though their TikTok about the situation has since gone viral, they “still don’t have a release date” for the tune. A Capitol Music Group Spokesperson told Forbes “our belief in Halsey as a singular and important artist is total and unwavering” and it “can’t wait for the world to hear their brilliant new music.” “it’s not about making the tiktoks I already make tiktoks!” Halsey tweeted. “They are saying if they don’t reach some imaginary goalpost of views or virality than they won’t give me a release date at all.” TikTok’s influence on the popularity of music is undeniable. Over the last few years, countless old hits and new releases that have gone viral on the platform have simultaneously experienced bumps in popularity in sales and streaming, as fans search out the songs they hear on the app. In February, Atlantic Records denied to Newsweek that it planned a viral moment for the song “abcdefu” by GAYLE, which had gone viral on TikTok before it reached No. 1 on the Billboard charts. Halsey isn’t the first entertainer to complain about having to market their songs on the app. In March, Florence Welch from Florence and the Machine posted a TikTok captioned “the label are begging me for ‘low fi tok toks’ so here you go.” Ed Sheeran posted a video Sunday joking about having to make promotional material for his new song.

I posted on Jan 18th but deleted the post: Ke Huy Quan was a child actor who was hired at 12 to be in Indiana Jones and The Temple of Doom and later The Goonies, these are classic 80s movies. He could not get hired/or even get an audition for many years, watch this speech. They would not hire asian actors in Hollywood so he worked behind the scenes for years and after watching Crazy Rich Asians he ended up getting an agent and somehow got into this incredible movie which was made for a small budget of $25 million (if you watch the movie you would think it had Coppola's budget). It might end up winning Oscars. He has much more to do with Jackie as he was a former child star who made a massive return/comeback as an adult and is winning awards left and right. Jackie is capable of that and taking time off is fine. She actually gained followers while she was away, see the thread at the Cat for those stats (oh I forgot stats arent relevant when it comes to Jackie). Ke Huy Quan along with his fellow co-stars were nominated for Oscars this morning including Stephanie Hsu whos 32 and played his daughter (whos trending on twitter currently). The film received the most nominations for any movie.  |
