Oh hey, it's true! Selena Gomez didn't shy away from talking about Zedd during an interview with New Zealand's radio show The Edge Afternoons on Tuesday, June 30. In fact, the "Good for You" singer confirmed that she dated the DJ earlier this year.

Gomez, 22, came clean about their fling when asked about Diplo's accusation that her relationship with Zedd, 25, was just a publicity stunt.

"He said that was a joke!" she explained. "He said that was a joke 'cause I talked to him."

She added: "First off, It’s very interesting that Diplo would think he knew about my personal life, but he doesn’t. I adore Zedd a lot and I definitely had a thing with him, which was nice."

The former child star and Zedd first sparked romance rumors back in January. They posted photos from their FaceTime chitchats while in bed, held hands at the 2015 Golden Globes on Jan. 11, and collaborated on the song "I Want You to Know." Gomez even called him the "Harry to My Sally" and gushed about his "beautiful eyes" to Radio Disney's The Alli Simpson Show.

During The Edge Afternoons, Gomez also played a round of "True or False," but only if "he who shall not be named" wasn't brought up. (Ahem, ex Justin Bieber!) One particularly interesting question? Whether Gomez called Katy Perry to apologize after filming Taylor Swift's star-studded music video for "Bad Blood." The song, as Us Weekly previously confirmed, is about Swift and Perry's longtime feud.

"That's false. I love Katy," Gomez said. "I just talked to her, but I didn't talk about that."

Mystery solved.

A month after Rachel McAdams and her True Detective costar Taylor Kitsch dined at West Hollywood’s Osteria Mozza on June 2, multiple sources confirm they are dating.

“It hasn’t been long,” says an insider. “But it’s serious.”

The Canadians, who recently wrapped the HBO drama’s second season, have been “friends for years,” adds a second McAdams source. “They grew closer on set.”

McAdams, 36, once told Glamour that work isn’t a convenient place to find love. (Who can forget her IRL romance with The Notebook costar Ryan Gosling?!)

“A set may seem like a good place for romance, but I don’t think it’s very conducive; it’s too distracting,” she says. “Every relationship I’ve had with a coworker comes after the fact.”

But McAdams couldn’t resist Kitsch’s charm — or Jake Gyllenhaal’s.

In April, “she definitely dated Jake Gyllenhaal while filming Southpaw,” the insider continues.

Kitsch, 34, who recently broke up with fitness instructor Jennifer Welch, has had no problem sweeping McAdams off of her feet.

“I don’t know if it’s full-blown love yet, but they talk constantly,” another source confirms. “They’re really into each other. She talks about him all the time!”

The Rock Opens Up About Longtime Girlfriend Lauren Hashian: 'You Gotta Get the Better Half in There'

Increasingly, celebrities are drawing a hard line between their public and personal lives. But then again, the status quo has never worked for Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, whose personality is only matched in size by his deltoids.

In a new Esquire Q&A, the American treasure makes the rare move of opening up about his longtime girlfriend, Lauren Hashian, and straight up demands that writer Scott Raab include it in his piece.

"I've lived with my longtime girlfriend, Lauren Hashian, going on, like, eight, nine years now. She's a singer-songwriter," Johnson tells the magazine. "We spend a lot of time with my daughter in Florida, Simone, who's 13. We do these stories and we talk so much about the business end, the success end, but then Lauren isn't mentioned and my daughter isn't mentioned. I always like making sure we find the balance and my home life is in there and Lauren Hashian is in there and my daughter is in there."

Okay, they've been mentioned now. Please don't pull out the Rock Bottom on us.

Johnson and Hashian have been dating since 2007, the same year he separated from his ex-wife, Dany Garcia, who is the mother of Simone. While Hashian rarely appears on her man's popular Instagram account and often doesn't pose with him at premieres, the modern family is all clearly on good terms, as Hashian, Simone, Garcia, and her new husband all accompanied The Rock at his TCL Chinese Theater handprint signing last month.

Hashian has had her own brushes with fame. For starters, her father is Sib Hashian, the drummer for '70s and '80s rock band Boston. In 2005, the singer-songwriter was a finalist on R U That Girl, a competition reality show hosted by TLC's Chilli and T-Boz.

Johnson tells Esquire that he attributes his success to his close family: "With all the cool s--t and success that I've been lucky enough to get? That doesn't happen unless the home life is solid," he says.

And indeed, it's been quite a year of "cool s--t and success" for The Rock. He has two films — Furious 7 and San Andreas — that are two of 2015's top 15 highest grossing movies so far. And his newest project,
HBO's Ballers, premiered to excellent reviews.


Asked whether he prefers movies over wrestling, the former WWE champion's answer may surprise you.

"Wrestling is intimate. You can reach out and touch the wrestlers. I don't get that connection in movies, but the impact is so much greater. You're able to craft a longer career in movies," he says. "In wrestling, there's a shelf life, and some wrestlers don't pay attention to the shelf life. Mickey Rourke's character in The Wrestler — that was my dad, that was my uncles, that was so many members of my family. It was the only thing they knew. And then they would end up wrestling for a hundred bucks, go to autograph signings for two hundred bucks."

While it's all wine and roses now, Johnson reflects on the grittier start of his wrestling career.

"I think wrestling for $40 a night and eating at the Waffle House three times a day, wrestling every weekend at a flea market, then at a state fair or a car dealership or in barns, 'blade jobs,' where I cut my forehead with razor blades," he says. "These days I never question, 'Oh, do I deserve it? Am I a real man?' No."
