THE RUNDOWN<\/strong><\/p>\n Selena Gomez and her husband, Benny Blanco, aren\u2019t at this evening\u2019s Actor Awards. The actress posted a shot of herself at home on her Instagram Story during the red carpet:<\/p>\n Instagram<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Her co-stars, Martin Short and Steve Martin, weren\u2019t at the ceremony either following tragic news this week that Short\u2019s daughter had passed away<\/a>.<\/p>\n In a statement, the family told People<\/a>, \u201cIt is with profound grief that we confirm the passing of Katherine Hartley Short. The Short family is devastated by this loss and asks for privacy at this time. Katherine was beloved by all and will be remembered for the light and joy she brought into the world.\u201d<\/p>\n Gomez is nominated with the rest of her Only Murders in the Building cast for the Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Comedy Series award.<\/p>\n Gomez has been prioritizing her acting career in more recent years, appearing in projects like Emilia Perez and Wizards Beyond Waverly Place, in addition to the nominated Hulu mystery-comedy series, which was renewed<\/a> for a sixth season.<\/p>\n In November, she spoke to Apple Music\u2019s<\/a> Zane Lowe about why she set her music career<\/a> aside to act more. \u201cI think I just maybe got a little tired of [the pop star life],\u201d she said. \u201cAnd I think what I get so much out of film and TV, or any sort of performative creativity that isn\u2019t music actually, it is another feeling that I can\u2019t really explain other than I connect with a character. I connect with the character\u2019s pain, or I connect with the character\u2019s joy or relationships, and with mothers and fathers. And all of that\u2019s so interesting to me, and I can dive into somebody else\u2019s world. But when you put yourself out there, and it\u2019s just you, it can be a bit more frightening. And I think I was just a little tired of it.\u201d<\/p>\n \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.elle.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" THE RUNDOWN Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco aren\u2019t at this evening\u2019s Actor Awards.
