US singer Selena Gomez, who has been raising awareness about Lupus, has urged her fans to join the fight against the autoimmune disease. The disease leads to the body's immune system becoming hyperactive, attacking normal and healthy tissues. On World Lupus Day, the Lose You To Love Me singer turned to Twitter and said: “Today is #WorldLupusDay where we raise awareness for this complex autoimmune disease.” http://instagram.com/p/CABZm_FjjEN She added: “It’s so important to me personally since I have struggled with Lupus for years. Thinking of all the others also affected by this disease.” Selena also urged fans to donate to the organization working to find a cure for the disease. http://instagram.com/p/B_sqoV3jLRJ The 27-year-old singer had to go through a kidney transplant in 2017 owing to the disease. Her friend Francia Raisa had donated a kidney to Selena. The singer has been raising awareness about the disease since 2015.

"It wasn't really any sort of inspiration other than, 'all right, let have fun,'" Selena Gomez explains at the beginning of her deep-dive into the making of the Rare song "Boyfriend" in the latest Beats by Dre series Beat x Beat: Inside Out.
Joined by two of the song's co-writers, Justin Tranter and Julia Michaels, and producers The Roommates -- via FaceTime, of course -- Gomez describes Michaels asking her what mood she was going for that day.
Gomez's response was simple, and brutally honest: "I don't know, I want a boyfriend." Tranter says that text message lit a spark and the song just started rolling out, with Selena describing the vibe they were going after as simple, but definitely with a head-bopping beat. Tranter was going for "minimal, cool and sexy" on the choruses, which they all agreed should be easy and "conversational."
The Roommates crew sent over a bouncing bassline that inspired the chorus from Michaels, "I want a boyfriend/ But I keep hitting dead ends."
The video also includes some behind-the-scenes pics from the studio session, such as Tranter doing a quarantine dog walk with his mom and Gomez explaining that she was clear she didn't want it to seem like she *needed* a boyfriend, but just that she wanted one.
Luckily, the video for the track was shot a week before quarantine, at which point Selena worried that maybe the message was possibly off at a time when people were about to be locked down during the COVID-19 pandemic. In the end, though, she feels like "it brought a lot of people joy."

On Wednesday, Chrissy Teigen posted a clip of herself on her Instagram Story jamming to the singer's newest song "Boyfriend" while on a car ride. Teigen, 34, bobbed her head to the beat while strapped into the passenger seat, recording herself and moving the camera to the background, where daughter Luna sat in her car seat.
"Luna! It's your favorite," said Teigen, as the 4-year-old appeared to be mouthing the lyrics.
While her current favorite tune is news, Luna's love for Gomez isn't quite a revelation. Back in March, Teigen officiated a playtime wedding between Luna's stuffed animals — and husband John Legend sang Gomez's 2016 hit "Can't Keep My Hands to Myself."
During the ceremony, Teigen — who also shares son Miles, 2, with Legend, 41 — introduced her hubby to sing the happy couple’s “favorite song, as requested by them,” and he proceeded to perform a hilarious rendition of the pop hit.
