According to the DailyMail, researchers found that regularly taking selfies and sharing the images with friends improves people’s mood, making them happier.

Forbes magazine released its annual list of the highest-paid TV actresses yesterday, and the same two names ended up at the top for the second year in a row.
Sofia Vergara plays the role of Gloria on “Modern Family,” and topped the list for the 5th straight year with earnings of $43 million. Besides her salary on the show, Sofia also gets millions for various endorsements and licensing deals.
“The Big Bang Theory” actress, Kaley Cuoco, came in second with $24.5 million in earnings. The money came almost entirely for her work as Penny on the show, where she and her male co-stars all earn $1 million per episode.
The top 5 was rounded out by Mindy Kaling with $15 million, as well as “Law and Order: SVU” star Mariska Hargitay and “Grey’s Anatomy” star Ellen Pompeo, who tied for fourth with $14.5 million each.
Lady Gaga revealed she is still taking medication after feeling traumatised by her career’s sudden takeoff.
After releasing her last pop album in 2013, she admitted suffering a period of depression.
Now 3 years later, she’s releasing “Perfect Illusion” and told The Mirror that she needed a moment to stabilise.
She said, “When my career took off, I don’t remember anything at all. It’s like I’m traumatised. I needed time to recalibrate my soul. I take medication. I’m not saying I feel good because of the medication. I wouldn’t encourage young people to take anti-depressants or mood stabilisers. I openly admit to having battled depression and anxiety and I think a lot of people do. I think it’s better when we all say: ‘Cheers!’ And ‘fess up to it.”
Demi Lovato is now the co-owner of the Los Angeles-based mental health and rehab center where she was once treated.
She said she doesn’t know what the investment says about her, but says that it “just feels good,”
The 24-year-old stayed at the rehab center in West Hollywood back in 2013. At that time, she entered as a “nightmare” patient battling depression, bulimia, and drug and alcohol abuse.
She had previously undergone a rehab stint three years earlier, after a brawl with a backup dancer during her tour with the Jonas Brothers.
She said, “I lived fast and I was going to die young. I didn’t think I would make it to 21.”
But Lovato turned her life around after her treatment, and has become a high-profile spokeswoman for erasing the stigma of seeking help for mental health issues.
