New York Times bestselling author Amy Odell joins Kate to discuss her new book, Gwyneth: The Biography. Love her or hate her, Gwyneth Paltrow has managed to stay on the A-list, her influence spanning entertainment, fashion, and the modern wellness industry. Gwyneth was born to parents viewed as Hollywood royalty, and that immense privilege turned her into a target of backlash when, at just twenty-six, she won an Oscar. Rather than cave in to criticism, she leveraged the attention for valuable endorsement deals and film roles, eventually founding her controversial wellness and lifestyle company, Goop. Over the decades, she has participated in countless carefully managed interviews, but the real Gwyneth—the basis of her motives, desires, strengths, faults, and vulnerabilities—has never been fully revealed, until now. Based on exclusive conversations with more than 220 sources, including close current and former friends and colleagues, this deeply researched biography provides insight and behind-the-scenes details of her relationships, family, friendships, iconic films, and tenure as the CEO of Goop. Gwyneth offers the fascinating, definitive look at how Paltrow rose to prominence, stayed in the limelight, and shaped culture—for better or worse—for so long.

Madame de La Fayette was one of the first women in history to publish a bestselling novel and forever change French literature. Born into nobility in 1634, Marie-Madeleine Pioche de La Vergne defied expectations of women in her era by wielding a sharp intellect and a quiet yet powerful pen. Her groundbreaking novel La Princesse de Clèves, published anonymously in 1678, is considered the first modern French novel and remains a cornerstone of literary study today. We trace her journey from the opulent salons of 17th-century Paris, where she mingled with the likes of La Rochefoucauld and Madame de Sévigné, to the quiet resilience she showed as a woman navigating politics, romance, and writing in a time when women were rarely seen—let alone heard.

There's a weight to the arrangement of this song, accentuated by that heavy kick pattern that Steve Ferrone opts for, along with Tom's deliberate persistence in landing on the root note at the end of his phrases that makes this one compelling. It's also noteworthy in not really having a defined chorus. We do have that A section and B section, but I wouldn't necessarily call it a chorus, then you have a very short bridge at the end so you have an ABABAC structure that just adds to the unresolved tension and unease that pervades this little hidden gem of a song.Song : https://youtu.be/x49C_T102iMDon't forget to follow me on social media, like, subscribe, and please, leave a rating if you like the show.Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thetompettyprojectBluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/tompettyproject.bsky.socialInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/thetompettyprojectYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@thetompettyprojectThreads: https://www.threads.net/@thetompettyprojectAll music, including the theme song, provided by my very best friend Randy Woods.

Justin Bieber BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Justin Bieber is making bigger headlines than ever as he settles firmly into family life and stages a career resurgence that has the music world buzzing. The most talked-about development this week is Bieber's heartwarming Instagram posts sharing glimpses of life with his 11-month-old son Jack Blues Bieber. Ahead of Jack's first birthday, Justin gave fans two new photos this past Sunday—always careful not to show Jack's face, keeping the promise he and wife Hailey Bieber made to protect their son's privacy. In an email interview with Elle, Justin described fatherhood as walking in the days he always dreamed of. Hailey, meanwhile, opened up to Vogue about the emotional challenges of unexpected motherhood and described Jack as her life's greatest teacher.Professionally, Justin's comeback keeps gathering steam following his surprise July 11 release of Swag, his seventh studio album and first in four years. Critics have widely praised the album's more soulful sound and explorations of love and family, a notable shift from his early pop catalog. Swag debuted at number two on the Billboard 200, racking up 163,000 equivalent album units its opening week, and its lead single Daisies became his 27th US top ten single, tying him with Janet Jackson on the all-time list. Swag has been streamed more than 198 million times and the buzz is carrying over to new business activity—his recent business insights and predictions for 2025 are trending on TikTok, while Diplo praised the Swag project's cutting-edge production on Billboard's Instagram news reel.Public appearances lately saw Justin keeping things low-key and family-focused, including a private album launch party in Los Angeles last week with close friends. Paparazzi trailed him and Hailey arriving at the Maybourne Hotel in Beverly Hills, noting his ultra-relaxed, signature streetwear look and his tendency to keep a distance from photographers—a likely lingering effect of his past run-ins with the press. On social media, he's been consistently active, mostly sharing intimate moments at home rather than promotional content.Business-wise, The Street recaps his diverse investments: after selling his entire music catalog to Hipgnosis for over 200 million dollars and stepping away from the Drew House streetwear brand, Bieber has been investing in tech and cryptocurrency ventures. Major headlines this week? Justin Bieber shares new family photos, keeps Swag album at the top of streaming charts, and continues to carefully balance fame with fiercely guarded privacy as both father and pop icon. No evidence of scandals, breakups, or major controversy—just a reinvigorated superstar playing out his next act on his own terms. Speculation about new tours or collaborations remains unconfirmed, but the buzz is that the next chapter could be his most significant yet.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOta

Justin Bieber BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Justin Bieber has been making headlines across both music and family life over the past week. The biggest story, hands down, is his ongoing celebration of fatherhood. On July 28, Justin shared two new photos of his son Jack Blues Bieber, who will turn one next month, showing himself and Jack spending time together. As usual, Justin and his wife Hailey have concealed their son's face in all public images, underscoring their commitment to privacy. Hailey recently opened up to Vogue about the realities and emotions of motherhood and her transition into this new phase of life, saying Jack is absolutely their priority. Justin, in rare email comments to the same publication, described fatherhood as living out the days he always dreamed of, suggesting that this chapter may become a defining one in his biography, with his family now center stage in his public persona according to Elle.Professionally, Justin just unleashed a major surprise with the July release of his seventh studio album Swag, marking his first album in four years. The new project, which pivots to a more soulful sound, was reportedly streamed 198 million times in its debut week and drew strong critical acclaim, converting some skeptics into fans. The opening single Daisies debuted at number two on the Billboard Hot 100 and tied Janet Jackson for the tenth-most top ten hits in US history. Swag's launch was celebrated July 24 at a high-energy Los Angeles party attended by Hailey Bieber, Kendall Jenner, The Kid LAROI, and other familiar faces from his circle, according to JustJared and social accounts including a reel from Justin Bieber Tour News. The event was widely documented on TikTok and Instagram, flooding social media with glimpses of his stylishly dressed entourage and up-close party shots.Public appearances have reiterated his persona as both a dad and a global celebrity. For example, footage, including a widely circulated X17online video, captured him arriving in Beverly Hills with Hailey, opting for a characteristically laid-back look while moving past a persistent paparazzi pack. He's been balancing being sociable at parties with keeping a cautious distance from the media scrum—a sign that the lessons of past tabloid frenzies have stuck with him.On the business front, Justin continues to build his empire, with recent news highlighting his earlier exit from Drew House, his streetwear label, and ongoing investments in tech and clean water startups. Discussions about his 2021 catalog sale, for over $200 million, and swirling rumors about the financial side of his career continue to surface in outlets like The Street, but verified sources stress Bieber's focus on expanding his brand's scope, not financial collapse.In sum, amid the glitz of album launches and viral fashion moments, it is Justin's new life as a devoted family man and his successful musical comeback that are shaping his latest—and possibly most significant—chapter to date.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOta

Ed Sheeran BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Ed Sheeran continues to dominate headlines this week with a flurry of major announcements, intimate interviews, and a social media buzz that underscores his enduring global star power. The biggest music news for Sheeran fans Down Under: Frontier Touring and multiple entertainment outlets report that Ed has expanded his highly anticipated Loop Tour to fifteen stadium dates across Australia and New Zealand, adding extra shows in Perth, Sydney, Brisbane, and Melbourne to meet skyrocketing demand. The tour kicks off at Auckland's Go Media Stadium on January 16, 2026, then sweeps through Wellington, Christchurch, Perth, and all the Aussie capitals, before wrapping in Adelaide. This marks Sheeran's sixth headlining tour and is timed alongside his upcoming album Play, launching September 12 according to Billboard and Economic Times, which describes the project as “an explorative, technicolour pop album” inspired by his travels and renewed sense of creative chaos. The singles Azizam, Sapphire, and Old Phone have already built excitement online and on radio.On the business side, ticket sales are set to launch with a Frontier Touring pre-sale for members on July 28 and a full public release July 29, prompting furious social media activity and hashtags climbing into trending territory. Sheeran marked the announcement with an Instagram post featuring his guitar and the caption, “Starting a brand new tour next year called the LOOP tour.

That's just our life now,” he acknowledged, candidly reflecting on the difficulty of balancing fame and fatherhood.On stage, Sheeran's recent Oslo performance set social media alight. Best Entertainment and multiple YouTube accounts captured the electricity of his sold-out July 27 stadium set, with surprise duets—including a buzz-worthy collaboration with Norwegian pop star Sigrid—going instantly viral.

Justin Timberlake BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Justin Timberlake has dominated headlines this week for all the wrong reasons—and plenty of social buzz proves it. The pop superstar, still riding off his Forget Tomorrow World Tour which wrapped in February, has been back on festival stages across Europe, and the fan reaction has gone viral for its overwhelmingly negative tone. After his July 17 performance at Electric Castle in Romania—his first-ever show in the country—angry concertgoers complained en masse, posting on TikTok and Instagram that Timberlake barely sang, coming on stage 45 minutes late, letting his backing track handle most of the vocals, and repeatedly shoving the mic out to the crowd instead of performing his hits himself. “When you pay for a concert but get a mute singer” became the running joke. Fox News reports that clips from the set were flooded with comments like "This performance could've been an email" and "I want my money back and I didn't even go," with a few even calling for refunds. The backlash only intensified after similar footage emerged from his Lollapalooza Paris set, with Cosmopolitan highlighting fans' disappointment and noting untamed complaints littering his Instagram posts.Timberlake has not publicly addressed the controversy. Instead, his touring machine rolled on. On July 27, he played the Olympic Stadium in Baku, Azerbaijan, as part of his JT Live 2025 global tour, with another stop upcoming at ITU Stadium in Istanbul, Turkey, on July 30, according to posts from his official channels and corroborating coverage from the concert circuit. However, his Baku appearance drew further scrutiny, with Zartonk Media critiquing the show as part of a celebrity wave whitewashing Azerbaijan's ongoing human rights record—a reminder of how international bookings can come with loaded political baggage. Fans and commentators alike are closely watching to see if this spate of festival appearances is damaging his reputation in a lasting way.Beyond the stage, Timberlake is reportedly facing a business crunch. A widely shared Instagram reel alleged several of his side ventures are posting significant losses, specifically calling out his beverage brand, though direct financial figures have not been independently confirmed. The long shadow of his 2024 DWI arrest lingers too: Fox News reminds readers that his tour nearly derailed after the incident, in which Timberlake pleaded guilty to a lesser charge and made a court-mandated public apology and drunk-driving PSA.Social media, meanwhile, continues to roast him with memes and disappointment, making this week perhaps his toughest stretch of publicity in recent years. While Timberlake's next steps—both business and musical—are uncertain, the current wave of negative headlines seems likely to have some biographical significance if fan sentiment and professional setbacks persist.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOta

Post Malone BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.This has been an eventful week for Post Malone, with the headlines buzzing across music, business, and personal life. Arguably the most consequential development involves his ongoing custody battle with ex-fiancée Hee Sung Jamie Park, mother of his daughter born in 2022. Taste of Country and Billboard report that Malone scored a significant legal win after Park dismissed her bid in California for primary custody, a move insiders suggest was partly strategic because California tends to award higher child support than Utah, where their daughter has always resided. Malone accused Park of trying to mislead California courts about their daughter's residency, outlining that all of her schooling, nanny care, and medical attention have always been in Utah. The legal dispute isn't over, though—the fight now shifts back to Utah, with details under seal, but Malone stresses he intends to ensure shared time with Park and their daughter.In the realm of music and public life, Post just wrapped up his 2025 Big Ass Stadium Tour with Jelly Roll, promising fans that the duo will be back on the road in 2026. PopFiltr confirms he's slated to headline Coachella 2025—a career-defining booking that highlights his cross-genre grip on pop and country. Adding to his music credentials, he's been named the 2025 Record Store Day Ambassador, an honor he gushed about to Consequence of Sound while reflecting on his chart-topping album F-1 Trillion and his cameo on Taylor Swift's mega-selling track Fortnight.On the business front, TMZ breaks the story that he's officially launching Shaboink, a cannabis brand specializing in premium flower, pre-rolls, and vapes. This move, announced just ahead of his birthday and making its debut at the Hall of Flowers convention, signals a high-profile entry into the legalized cannabis market and could have long-term implications for his post-music business portfolio.Fans and social media have also been in a frenzy about his recent onstage mishap in Arizona. As reported by Parade, video of Malone falling off the stage while toasting a fan—red Solo cup in hand—quickly went viral on TikTok. The incident drew both laughs and concern, but with no serious injuries, it only added to his affable, down-to-earth reputation.On the pop culture and sponsorship side, PEOPLE has unveiled a teaser for his upcoming Bud Light Super Bowl commercial, starring alongside comedian Shane Gillis, and he's set to perform at Bud Light Backyard Presents in New Orleans during Super Bowl weekend.

Justin Bieber BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Justin Bieber has been the center of quite a buzz these past few days with multiple headline-grabbing developments both in his career and personal life. The singer made a major public appearance on July 24 at the Swag album listening party in West Hollywood, hosted by Spotify and his new apparel brand, Skylrk. According to AOL and widely shared on Instagram, Justin and Hailey Bieber were all smiles and PDA during the event, sharing multiple kisses and holding hands—a significant display as the couple has lately faced relentless tabloid rumors about marital trouble and divorce. Hailey herself recently told Vogue Italia that navigating early parenthood and the constant swirl of online speculation has been “the most delicate period” of her life, referencing the chatter around their relationship and their son Jack Blues Bieber, who turns one next month.Musically, the surprise release of Swag on July 11 marked Justin's highly anticipated return, his first studio album in four years. The record debuted at number two on the Billboard 200, notching up 163,000 equivalent album units, and its lead single Daisies launched straight into the top three of the Hot 100, tying him with Janet Jackson for the tenth-most top ten singles in US history according to Billboard and Wikipedia. Social media exploded with posts of Bieber celebrating at the Swag x Skylrk party, seen mingling with guests like Madison Beer, iShowSpeed, and Kyle Massey. Fans also caught him in Beverly Hills making a low-key exit from the Maybourne Hotel with Hailey, with X17online highlighting his laid-back fashion and continued wariness toward paparazzi in light of tense past encounters.Business-wise, Hits Daily Double reports that Bieber has solidified his financial and creative independence, using the windfall from selling his music rights to launch his own company and apparel line Skylrk, moving away from major label dependence. On TikTok, a trending video from Fran Lama showed Bieber balancing fitness and business as part of his 2025 persona.Tour rumors have been swirling non-stop, with Australian radio 6PR Perth teasing a possible Swag tour Down Under, but Rolling Stone received a no-comment from concert promoters, while Rob Shuter at Reality Tea counters that insiders say Justin will not tour for the foreseeable future due to emotional and health considerations after his battle with Ramsay Hunt syndrome. Friends are reportedly concerned about the toll that live performing could take on him, saying he's “not ready” to hit the road again, so for now, the album is what fans get. As headlines like Justin and Hailey share a passionate kiss during album celebration and Will Bieber Tour Swag dominate entertainment news, his focus remains on family, business ventures, and selected public appearances while stepping back from the pressures of touring.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOta

Justin Bieber BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Justin Bieber has been at the center of pop culture buzz these past few days, making both headlines and waves with the surprise release of his seventh studio album Swag on July 11, 2025. The album arrived unannounced after cryptic billboards in Iceland, catching fans and critics alike off guard and marking his first new record in four years. With 21 tracks diving into themes of love, fame, and family, Swag's soulful direction quickly garnered critical acclaim and racked up nearly 200 million streams in its debut week according to The Street. Billboard reports the album debuted at number two on the charts and its lead single Daisies tied Bieber with Janet Jackson for the tenth-most top ten singles in US chart history—a significant career milestone. The promotional trail surrounding Swag reached its peak this week with a star-studded listening party in West Hollywood on July 24, hosted by Spotify and in collaboration with his newly unveiled apparel line SKYLRK. According to AOL and TMZ, Justin was joined by Hailey Bieber, packing on the public displays of affection and definitively shutting down any lingering internet rumors about their marriage being on the rocks. In a carousel of Instagram posts and stories from both Justin and Hailey, the couple was seen embracing, kissing, and generally looking inseparable. Their cohesiveness was underscored by Hailey's interview in Vogue Italia, where she candidly discussed the difficulties of navigating speculation about their relationship—especially following the birth of their son, Jack Blues Bieber, who turns one next month.Bieber's business pursuits have shifted as well. After departing from his Drew House brand in April, he's now promoting SKYLRK, making his mark in streetwear once again. Hits Daily Double reports the move coincides with a broader push for financial control; Bieber now oversees his master recordings and has assembled a new company structure to align with his creative and financial vision. On the financial news front, Bloomberg reports that royalties from Justin's music are among those backing a $372 million bond issuance, a reflection of his lasting commercial impact. On the public appearance circuit, footage from X17online and social media show Justin and Hailey at the Maybourne Hotel in Beverly Hills, maintaining a low profile but still drawing paparazzi attention. With the success of Swag, renewed public affection, big moves in fashion, and a strong business hand, Justin Bieber is not only writing a new chapter musically, but also redefining the narrative about his life and career, pushing back against tabloid speculation and owning his spotlight.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOta

Shakira BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Shakira has secured another major global headline by being announced as a principal headliner for the 2025 Global Citizen Festival, set for September 27 in Central Park, New York. This is not just another gig—she'll be sharing the bill with megastars like The Weeknd, Tyla, Ayra Starr, and Mariah the Scientist, while Hugh Jackman returns for his eleventh year as host. According to the official Global Citizen campaign, this year's focus includes providing energy access to a million people across Africa, mobilizing 200 million dollars to safeguard 30 million hectares of the Amazon rainforest, and delivering quality education, in partnership with FIFA, to 30,000 children globally. Shakira spoke about her motivation for joining the festival, saying she's “honored to headline the incredible Global Citizen Festival in Central Park this September… Music has always been my way of connecting with people and leaving a mark on the world. I can't wait to perform, unite, and inspire action.” Press from CBS News New York and TimeOut New York has echoed how significant this platform is, especially given its intersection of entertainment and urgent global activism. Tickets are once again technically free, but hopeful attendees have to participate in advocacy actions to gain entry.This Central Park appearance is uniquely timed as a standout pause from her ongoing Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour, which continues to make waves across the U.S. and will soon hit Latin America, including Mexico, Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay, Chile, and Ecuador. Her recent stadium show at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, announced and promoted heavily by the venue, reaffirmed her enduring arena-filling appeal. On social media, Shakira's engagement shows no signs of slowing. An Instagram video surfaced this week where Shakira appears recharging in the sun, teasing fans to “expect more for your hair,” fueling speculation about a possible new beauty or personal care collaboration, though details remain unconfirmed.Looking at recent trending headlines, the festival announcement has dominated reputable outlets like CBS, TimeOut, and Global Citizen's own platform, elevating Shakira's current activities to the level of biographical significance—this is a global impact moment, not just a musical milestone. No major controversies or negative news tied to Shakira herself have broken through in the last few days. While less substantial, Shakira also became an unexpected talking point in viral pop culture when another Shakira—Love Island UK's Shakira Khan—sparked debate for her fame-related comments, but there is no relation to the artist, and confusion seems limited to fleeting social media buzz. At this pace, Shakira's 2025 looks not just busy, but legacy-defining.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOta

Peso Pluma BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Peso Pluma is once again dominating headlines and social feeds on several fronts this week. Just days ago, he shared an update with fans after undergoing surgery for a broken foot—a dramatic mishap that cut short his headlining set at New York City's Governors Ball, but true to form, Peso Pluma has been assuring everyone he's on the mend and full of gratitude, signaling a brief but determined pause in his live performance schedule according to IMDb News. Musically, the buzz is relentless: his new album "Exodo" is stirring talk of artistic growth and vocal evolution, as Peso himself told Mississippi Valley State University media, reflecting on how personal experiences since "Genesis" have shaped both his sound and perspective. The collaboration world remains very much his playground, including a notable feature on José Darey Castro's new LP "Redención," where their track "Supreme" is flaunted as a showcase for material luxuries by the Los Angeles Times.On the festival circuit, Peso Pluma has been announced as a star performer—alongside global icons Shakira and Don Omar—at Chicago's rising Sueños Latin Music Festival, with Variety noting his inclusion as emblematic of the event's growing influence and his own unshakable place in the upper echelons of Latin pop. Social media activity paints a picture of an artist both accessible and unmissable. Funnyhoodvidz's recent Instagram post tagging him and pulling in over 73,000 likes, alongside a trending appearance with Kenia Os, indicates his ongoing viral appeal and the high engagement his presence sparks.But it's not all smooth sailing: he's making news for less savory reasons as authorities and critics warn him about the potential risks of his lyrics linking to crime, Parriva reported on July 25. The scrutiny underscores the tightrope Peso Pluma walks as a regional Mexican superstar with global appeal, navigating fame, controversy, and the ever-shifting boundaries of artistic responsibility.On a more personal note, the saga of his highly public breakup with Nicki Nicole continues to reverberate, fueled by her pointed social media posts after Peso was seen holding hands with another woman at the 2024 Super Bowl, a blowup that played out from their Grammy night together to leaks from a Las Vegas casino, as covered by People and AOL. Despite heartbreak, drama, and physical setbacks, Peso Pluma remains one of Latin music's defining voices of the moment, drawing in fans by the tens of thousands per Chartmetric, and commanding attention both for his hits and the intensity of his spotlight.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOta

Justin Timberlake BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Justin Timberlake has dominated recent headlines for all the wrong reasons as fan backlash erupted across social media following several noticeably low-energy performances on the European festival circuit. According to Cosmopolitan and Parade, Timberlake's much-anticipated appearance at the Electric Castle Festival in Romania on July 17 turned sour when he arrived nearly an hour late, bundled under a parka in the rain, and proceeded to let backing tracks and the audience carry most of his set. Viral TikTok videos show Justin repeatedly pointing his mic at the crowd during hits like CAN'T STOP THE FEELING and Cry Me a River, giving more hype man than headliner, sparking a wave of disappointment and memes suggesting fans got karaoke night instead of a pop superstar. The complaints echoed on Timberlake's own Instagram, where concertgoers described the performance as soulless and even disrespectful to fans who waited hours in the rain. These issues weren't limited to Romania. At Lollapalooza Paris on July 20, footage again showed Timberlake sharing sparse vocals and minimal engagement with songs that once defined millennial pop. Hot97 and Consequence noted similar scenes at prior stops in Dublin and London, crucifying him for visibly frustrated moments and what many described as a low-effort end to his Everything I Thought I Was tour. Despite the swirl of negative press, Timberlake hasn't directly addressed the criticism, instead focusing on wrapping up his final shows in Baku, Azerbaijan on July 27 and Istanbul, Turkey on July 30.Away from the stage, Timberlake's business activity provided a rare spot of positive news. CNBC's World's Top Fintech Companies 2025 featured Step, a Gen Z-focused banking startup Timberlake backs alongside names like Steph Curry and Will Smith. Step's selection signals Timberlake's ongoing clout as an investor with an eye for youth culture and modern money trends.Meanwhile, reminders of his June 2024 DWI charge resurfaced, as Fox News highlighted how his world tour almost derailed after that arrest. Following a guilty plea and community service, Timberlake made a public apology and urged fans not to drive drunk, a blemish that still lingers in the public memory.There have been no new acting projects or red-carpet appearances reported in the last few days, and Timberlake's social media is awash with both supportive fans and vocal critics dissecting every moment of his current festival appearances. As Timberlake nears the end of this tour, the question looming over his legacy is whether these struggles mark a mere bump in the road, or a more profound turning point for the former boy band dynamo and pop icon.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOta

Justin Bieber BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.In just the past few days, Justin Bieber has skillfully steered headlines and social media chatter with a blend of vulnerability, music triumph, business vision, and unwavering commitment to his personal life. First, he flatly shut down recent swirling tabloid rumors about marital discord with Hailey Bieber by dropping a set of intimate, PDA-heavy vacation photos on Instagram. These images coincide with lyrics from his freshly released and already buzzed-about seventh album Swag, where he openly admits to rough patches with Hailey but promises in tracks like Walking Away to stand by her for the long haul. Elle reports that even as anonymous sources confided to Us Weekly about tough times for the couple, both Justin and Hailey remain publicly united and intent on making their relationship work, with no talk of divorce.Swag is getting major attention as Justin's first album in four years and has already fueled rampant speculation about an imminent world tour, particularly in Australia. The News and Cosmopolitan both report that major Australian radio stations teased an upcoming tour announcement, though neither Justin nor his team have confirmed any dates and the official promoter Frontier Touring maintains it has no information. Fans and industry insiders are watching closely; after all, a new album cycle is when global pop stars typically go on the road, especially following a recovery period after Bieber's public break from touring due to health complications.On the business front, Living Life Fearless reveals that Bieber has stealth-launched his new apparel label Skylrk, marking his second major solo foray into fashion after Drew House. This move shows his intent to further establish himself beyond music, cashing in on his immense brand value. Meanwhile, Finance Monthly spotlighted Justin and Hailey's recent high-profile stay at a $29000-a-week Mallorca villa for the global launch of Hailey's Rhode beauty empire, underscoring both their professional synergy and his visible support for Hailey's billion-dollar success.Mental health remains a recurring theme. Marca details Bieber's remarks in a recent interview, acknowledging he feels stronger and more confident but is honest about continuing internal struggles. On social media, his cryptic posts—like a DMX interview repost about sobriety—have alarmed some fans, with TMZ noting the ambiguity around whether Bieber is signaling anything personal regarding substance use. His reps still deny rumors of hard drug use, and while fans worry, Bieber continues to emphasize his faith and healing journey.Taken together, the past week has been a whirlwind of significant headlines for Justin Bieber: a major new album and hints at a comeback tour, the launch of a new fashion brand, high-visibility public outings with his wife for business ventures, and an ongoing transparent conversation about mental health. Each thread marks a chapter not just in his career but in the evolution of his legacy as both a pop icon and a person in the spotlight.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOta

Justin Bieber BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Justin Bieber has been making headlines on multiple fronts over the past several days, blending music releases, business chess moves, relationship rumors, and trademark social media ambiguity. The biggest news is the July 11th release of his new album Swag, his first studio effort in four years, which critics and fans are already calling a mature, candid reflection on his turbulent last few years. In tracks like Walking Away and Daisies, Justin openly addresses the complexities of his seven-year marriage to Hailey Bieber and the personal challenges he has faced, with intimate lyrics reaffirming his commitment to their relationship. Though tabloid rumors suggested marital trouble, Justin quietly but pointedly shut them down last week, posting a series of affectionate, PDA-filled vacation photos on Instagram with Hailey, prompting Elle Magazine to declare Bieber was sending a “subtle message” about the couple's continued unity.Professionally, talk of a comeback tour is swirling fiercely online and across radio in Australia, where 6PR Perth's hosts fueled speculation about imminent tour dates following Swag's debut. While major outlets like Rolling Stone and the official promoter Frontier Touring say nothing is confirmed on the touring front, the consensus is that Bieber announcing dates would be standard post-release practice and sources close to him admit performing live is something he craves and needs. However, as of now, this remains in the realm of speculation and rumor, not official announcement.On the business side, The Economic Times reports that Bieber is working to settle a $31.5 million debt to Scooter Braun's Hybe company, relying on proceeds from wife Hailey's pending, billion-dollar sale of her Rhode beauty business. He's expected to net around $50 million from that deal, enough to clear his obligations and reportedly secure ownership of his music masters, a coup for any recording artist. The sale is anticipated to finalize within a couple of months, but Justin's spokesperson insists his finances and Hailey's business are entirely separate.Bieber's mental health has once again become public talk. Despite Justin reassuring fans that he's found his “swag” again and is on the mend, insiders tell Marca and Page Six that he still wrestles with internal struggles, heightened by fame's relentless pressure. Support appears to come from his wife, a tight inner circle, and his faith. Social media watchdogs are on high alert after a cryptic Instagram post referencing DMX's “clean living,” which TMZ interpreted as hinting at ongoing substance use, though Bieber's representatives have consistently denied rumors of hard drug use.In his quieter but significant business moves, Bieber launched a fashion label called Skylrk, his second solo apparel project after Drew House, as confirmed by Living Life Fearless. And in Wall Street news, Bloomberg reports that royalties from Bieber's catalog—now partly managed by Recognition Music Group—are being packaged in a $372 million bond issuance that will include publishing rights from major pop stars.With Swag's release, potential blockbuster tours, marital resilience, and this swirl of headlines about money, health, and art, Justin Bieber remains as much a pop culture fixture as ever, constantly evolving under the unblinking public gaze.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOta

Summer in India brings with it the irresistible charm of mangoes, and the predictable flood of mango themed stories. These usually blend nostalgia, tales of nawabi indulgence, exotic varieties, and the timeless Alphonso-versus-the-rest debate. But journalist Sopan Joshi, in his book Mangifera indica: A Biography of the Mango, peels back that sugary surface to explore the mango's deeper story—its fossil records, its genetics, its place in ecology, our culture, and the pressures of modern agriculture. So, as the mango season nears its end, host Sandip Roy speaks to Joshi to discuss the real state of the mango today.Produced by Shashank BhargavaEdited and mixed by Suresh Pawar

He urges juggling a paper book and a Kindle, recounts ditching his smartphone to rescue his attention, and shares tactics for finding the "right" beach novel and biography. He and Russ also debate the value of re-reading, spar over Dostoevsky, celebrate Elena Ferrante, and swap suggestions for poetry that "puts reality back in your bones." Throughout, they argue that the shallowness of social media makes the best case for diving into the dense, intellectually difficult, yet uniquely transformative power of books.

As the mother of a child with Williams syndrome, Marjorie Strebe has lived through some of the typical and survived the atypical challenges that characterized the life of her youngest child. Since she's been a stay-at-home mom the great majority of Michelle's life, she was always available and involved with her daughter, the doctors, the schools, the hospitals, and the psychiatric staff. After tackling the struggles of the day, Marj enjoyed losing herself in the plot of a story she crafted herself. So writing fiction helped her to de-stress. But God started dealing with her about the need to write Michelle's story. So when Michelle was twelve years old, her mother started writing the story of her life – the adventures and struggles; the challenges and difficulties; the experiences few people could relate with, even those parents who were caring for a Williams child.Contact Marjorie Strebe:My website is www.marjiestrebe.comMy books: Another Day, Another Challenge; The Biography of a Child with Williams SyndromeSkip's Action Series (Fiction)Treasures in My Spiritual Hope Chest, Volumes 1 & 2 (King James Devotionals)My email newsletter: https://BookHip.com/KPHAFPD (Sign up and get a free copy of the first book in my Skip series.)Dr. Kimberley LinertSpeaker, Author, Broadcaster, Mentor, Trainer, Behavioral OptometristEvent Planners- I am available to speak at your event.

När Prins Harry lämnar kungahuset och Storbritannien för att skapa ett nytt liv i USA, inleds en strid mot tabloiderna men också den egna familjen. Nya avsnitt från P3 ID hittar du först i Sveriges Radio Play. Prins Harry föds in i den tusenåriga brittiska monarkin som son till tonföljaren prins Charles och prinsessan Diana, världens mest fotograferade kvinna. Farmor, drottning Elisabeth II kommer att bli landets längst sittande monark. Hans storebror prins William är tronarvinge och Harry är, som han uttrycker det själv i sin självbiografi ”Den andre” – reserven. När Harry är 12 år gammal dör hans mamma, den beundrade Diana, i en bilolycka i Paris, jagad av paparazzis. Pressen beskylls för att ha jagat prinsessan till döds. Harry måste nu växa upp innanför palatsens väggar utan sin älskade mamma och med pressens allt hårdare bevakning. Han stämplas redan i tonåren som skandalprinsen som fuskar i skolan och bara vill festa. Harry är en oborstad och motvillig prins. Men brittiska folket älskar honom, mätningar visar gång på gång att han tillsammans med drottningen är den mest populära medlemmen av kungafamiljen.Men Harry festar hårt, slåss med fotografer och testar droger. Allt för att fly, från minnet av sin mammas död, pressens bevakning och den gyllene buren som verkar slutas åt allt mer. Det kulminerar i en världsskandal där prinsen bär nazistuniform på en fest. Flykten blir militären och välgörenhetsarbete i mammas fotspår. Och kärleken. 2016 träffar han den amerikanska skådespelerskan Meghan Markle. De gifter sig två år senare inför miljonpublik. Först hyllas paret av folket och pressen. Meghan spås bli ”nya Diana”. Men snart börjar en del av bevakningen av Meghan anta rasistiska undertoner. Paret får också allt oftare kritik för hur de bemöter pressen och för sig som kungligheter. En allt större spricka bakom kulisserna blir tydlig, en konflikt mellan Harry och Meghan och palatset. Skandalen är ett faktum när paret meddelar att de ska lämna kungahuset på sina villkor. Då påbörjas ett krig mot Harrys familj – och världspressen. I avsnittet medverkar Jenny Alexandersson, hovexpert på Aftonbladet och Angela Levin, författare till boken ”Harry, A Biography of a Prince” (2018). I researchen till avsnittet har böckerna ”Den andre” av Prins Harry och ”Battle of the Brothers” av Robert Lacey.
