Angelina Jolie made her Instagram debut over the weekend following the humanitarian crisis in Afghanistan. Within two hours of her joining she gained more than 1.8 million followers.

Many fans from across the globe praised Angelina.

 

At the start of this year Selena Gomez hinted she was planning on quitting music. She said she wanted to give her music career “one last try” before retiring. Now it appears she is taking back those comments in a new interview. She didn’t announce a new album or a new music project, but she admitted that she’ll ever really be able to quit. Her earlier comments came as she felt her music wasn’t taken seriously within the industry or by critics.
