Gabby Douglas Says Being Too 'Cocky' Was One of Her Downfalls in 2016

Gabby Douglas is an extraordinary Olympic gymnast, but even she has low moments in her life she can learn from.

In a new interview, the 21-year-old gold medalist opens up about the difference between being confident and thinking you don’t have to work for something.

“My coach would always tell me, ‘You can leave the gym, because you’re not giving 100%…I realize this comes so easy to you, but I need to see you sweat,’” she remembered to Teen Vogue. “I think that’s the difference. When you have talent, you can’t be cocky. Sure, you can be confident, like, ‘I got this,’ but not like, ‘Yeah, I don’t have to work hard.’”

She also admitted that that confidence made her perform worse in 2016.

“That was one of my downfalls in 2016,” she continued, “You can have talent, you can have natural ability, but without that hard work, you can only go so far.”

Sound advice! We know she will continue to work hard and conquer amazing obstacles in her lifetime.

Madison Beer Talks Dealing With Online Bullies in a Powerful New Radio Interview

Madison Beer Talks Dealing With Online Bullies in a Powerful New Radio Interview

Madison Beer has spoken out before about how to deal with bullies online, but now she is really opening up about her experiences in a brand-new interview.

“I deal with it every day,” the 18-year-old “Dead” singer said on the Elvis Duran Show this morning, “I wake up in the morning and I’m told to kill myself 30 times already. People say ‘this is what you signed up for,’ but that shouldn’t come along with making music and following my dreams. I think it’s upsetting that those two go hand-in-hand now because of social media.”

She also gave advice to her fans who might be facing some of the same hate online that she does.

“If you’re having a bad day and you go on Twitter and see craziness being said about you, it hurts,” she continued, “It sucks. I think a lot of people would say [to] ignore it, move on and don’t pay anything attention to it, but I always think it’s okay to stand up for yourself. I don’t think you should ever feel like you have to ignore [bullying].”

Madison is completely right: bullying is never okay, even when anonymous.

Sofia Carson Really Loves This 'Descendants 2' Character (Exclusive)

Sofia Carson Really Loves This 'Descendants 2' Character (Exclusive)

Sofia Carson is of course a big fan of her Descendants 2 characer, Evie, but she also really loves another character, in particular.

The 24-year-old actress recently told JJJ that Dizzy (played by Anna Cathcart) is one of her favorites.

“She has a really beautiful storyline with Evie that has a lot to do with Evie’s growth in the film,” Sofia told us. “Dizzy is Drizella’s daughter. She kind of grew up with Evie. They were almost like sisters. They both dreamed of being fashion designers and living in the Isle. Dizzy wasn’t lucky enough to be given a second chance – Evie was. So Dizzy kind of ignites that sense that sense of ‘I was lucky,’ and she finds a greater calling.”

As for her favorite thing about Evie, Sofia said, “Evie really has become the moral compass of the group for Mal (Dove Cameron) for the VK’s. What I love so much about Evie is that she has a beautiful heart, and she loves so much.”

Descendants 2 airs July 21 on Disney Channel.

Sabrina Carpenter, Jace Norman, & More Celebs Reveal Their Favorite Phone Apps (Exclusive)

Even famous people are obsessed with their phones.

We recently caught up with some of JJJ‘s favorite celebs and asked them about their most-used phone apps.

See what they had to say:

Sabrina Carpenter: “Oh, that’s hard! I don’t really play games or anything on my phone. I don’t have time! I’d say Instagram!”

Brent Rivera: “Oh, that’s a hard one. My favorite app I’d have to say is probably Instagram or something. I don’t want to be cliche. I don’t really know what app, I don’t really play any games except like this one game that’s a plane game and I have to land a plane. It’s so fun! It’s like the best thing ever, so maybe that’s my favorite app. It’s called X-Plane 10.”

Marcus Scrinber: “My favorite app, and I’m going to do a shameless plug, but my favorite app is YouTube! I love watching all the amazing videos that people like Brent put out and all those funny clips. YouTube is just probably one of my favorite apps, Instagram like Brent says, I love the iMessage app, it’s pretty cool too.”

Jace Norman: “Probably Snapchat. No, Instagram. Instagram, for sure.”

Peyton List: “Instagram is definitely the social that I check the most. I feel like I can get lost on the explore page and just looking up my friends’ photos. And once you start creeping, it’s hard to stop!”

Kendra-Leigh Timmins: “Definitely Instagram, because I think pictures are such a fun way to capture memories!”

Maia Mitchell & More Celebs Reveal The Last TV Shows They Binge-Watched (Exclusive)

Are you a big binger when it comes to television?

Sometimes we don’t have time to watch our favorite shows live, and other times we just love to kick back on the weekend and watch ten episodes of a show we’ve never seen before.

We recently caught up with some celebs and asked them which show they last binge-watched. Check it:

Maia Mitchell: “Season one of 24.”

Sabrina Carpenter: “13 Reasons Why! I was excited to see that show and once I started, I couldn’t stop!”

Marcus Scribner: “I feel like the last show that I binge watched was Grimm, and I just watched the entire five seasons which was really, really good. I enjoyed those. Watching The Walking Dead has been an amazing experience.”

Brent Rivera: “I binge watch Black-ish! And I also binge-watch YouTube videos honestly. You can keep on scrolling and just keep on pressing YouTube videos, one after another. You just can’t stop.”

Peyton List: “I binge watched Westworld. I think it’s so good and it’s such an interesting concept. Typically, I binge-watch four episodes, and then I don’t watch anything for a week because I’m shooting. But then I’ll go and binge-watch the rest.”

Kendra-Leigh Timmins: “The last show I binge-watched was Buffy the Vampire Slayer. I’d never seen it before and I LOVED it. I love special effects makeip and stunts so it was right up my alley, plus there’s nothing like watching a girl kick some serious vampire butt.”

TELL JJJ: What’s the last show you binge-watched?
