Justin Bieber BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Justin Bieber has made headlines yet again with the surprise release of his new album SWAG II, which dropped at midnight on September 5, 2025. This release comes just two months after his seventh studio album SWAG arrived in July, marking his most prolific period since his 2021 project Justice. SWAG II is not a typical sequel; it's a sprawling, 44-track reissue packed with 23 bonus songs, instantly capturing attention both for its size and its blend of styles from trap to R&B and even spiritual reflection. Major outlets like Good Morning America and Elle have spotlighted the album's midnight release, while music sites note that Bieber teased its arrival with a series of Instagram posts and dramatic billboards lighting up places like Times Square and even Iceland, where much of the album was reportedly recorded.Critically, SWAG and SWAG II have reasserted Bieber's pop dominance after his brief hiatus and the blockbuster sale of his music catalog in 2023. SWAG debuted at number two on the Billboard 200, hitting nearly 200 million streams out of the gate. The lead single Daisies also arrived strong at number two on the Hot 100 and became his 27th top ten single in the US, tying him with legends like Janet Jackson. Notably, the new tracks make direct references to his family life, with Mother in You being his first song to explicitly mention his son Jack, born in August 2024. Lines about Jack and wife Hailey in songs like this have drawn fan and media attention, especially as divorce rumors have circled the couple. Bieber seems to tackle these tabloid narratives head-on with heartfelt lyrics that emphasize stability and devotion.On the public appearance front, both Justin and Hailey Bieber skipped the high-profile MTV VMAs this week, despite his Best Pop Artist nomination, instead opting to celebrate the album's release privately in New York with family. Paparazzi last spotted them together with baby Jack shortly after SWAG II's debut, and Elle reports they shared new family photos on social media, fueling the wholesome narrative.Beyond music, Bieber is publicly supporting Hailey's business as Rhode, her skincare and makeup line, launches in Sephora stores across North America. He posted about Rhode's expansion using lyrics from his new music, underscoring the crossover between his family, business, and creative life. Hailey meanwhile continues to speak openly about motherhood's impact, recently telling Vogue that Jack is her priority.No interviews have been given yet about the new albums, and speculation swirls online about a possible accompanying tour, but so far, all Bieber's statements remain strictly about music and family, as reflected in his social media and recent public outings. In short, Bieber's SWAG II era is as much about creative output as it is about family—an unmistakable shift for the pop superstar as he moves into a new chapter under a brighter, more personal spotlight.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOta
Justin Bieber BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Justin Bieber has dominated headlines and social media in recent days with the surprise release of his massive new album Swag II. According to ABC News and Good Morning America, Bieber dropped Swag II just after midnight on Friday, teasing fans across multiple Instagram posts. The album's pink cover has been splashed across billboards in Times Square, Atlanta, and even Iceland, where Bieber reportedly spent time recording at Floki Studios earlier this year. Swag II follows his July release Swag, which spawned viral hits like Daisies and Yukon, and marked Bieber's strongest streaming debut to date. CNN notes that Swag was named the song of the summer by The Atlantic, defining the mood of 2025 with its laid-back pop energy and high-profile collaborations. Bieber is clearly in a prolific creative phase, putting out over forty songs in just two months.Swag II ups the ante, delivering 44 tracks that range from trap and R and B to gospel and spiritual reflection, with collaborators as diverse as Marvin Winans and Sexyy Red as reported by StupidDope. This sprawling project has been described as both a playlist-worthy ecosystem and a strategic move for streaming dominance. Industry analysts point to Bieber's willingness to blur genre lines and stretch his sound as a key factor in maintaining his cultural relevance and broad appeal. On release night, Canadian radio hosts and social media users alike chimed in about technical delays, with Bieber himself posting numerous updates and jokes about the album being late to streaming platforms. Fans seemed equally amused and frustrated until Swag II finally dropped about three hours behind schedule. Virgin Radio recounted Bieber quoting his own paparazzi video and commiserating with listeners, demonstrating that he's still deeply engaged with his fanbase.Bieber's business activities have also made waves recently, with Spreaker reporting on his ever-expanding fashion brand SKYLRK. Since launching in July, SKYLRK has begun branching out beyond apparel with hints at futuristic furniture designs. On the personal front, Bieber and wife Hailey welcomed their son Jack Blues last August according to CNN, one of the few glimpses he has shared into his private life during a period marked by intense professional output. Gossip columns buzzed this week after a fan posted photos of Justin surprising a bride at a wedding in Los Angeles, proving he's still capable of creating viral moments outside the studio. While unconfirmed rumors swirled about Bieber making last-minute changes to Swag II before release, the overall consensus is that he's operating at a level of ambition and productivity not seen since his early career. With Swag II poised to drive playlist placements and social chatter, and a scheduled fan event in Anaheim later this month, it is clear that Justin Bieber has no intention of stepping back from the limelight anytime soon.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOta

Justin Bieber BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Justin Bieber finds himself at a pivotal moment both professionally and personally as summer 2025 closes. The release of his seventh studio album Swag continues to make waves, debuting last month at No 2 on the Billboard 200 and spawning hit singles like Daisies and most recently Yukon. According to WAVT, Bieber just dropped the much-anticipated black-and-white music video for Yukon, which was shot across Spain and Italy and prominently features his wife Hailey and their infant son Jack Blues. Directed by Cole Bennett, the video is already fueling a new TikTok trend and turning up across Instagram, highlighting Bieber's knack for staying on top of social culture.While fans are eager for a supporting tour, media outlets like Us Weekly and 6PR Perth report persistent rumors of a possible Australia leg—yet, Rolling Stone confirms that Bieber's camp has not announced tour dates and that previous health concerns, specifically his Ramsay Hunt syndrome diagnosis, still loom large when it comes to live performances. His last world tour was famously canceled, and a number of sources close to the singer told Page Six that he faces a crossroads deciding whether to return to global touring or focus on family life, especially as Hailey's Rhode Beauty was just acquired for $1 billion, solidifying her status as a major business force.Offstage, Bieber made headlines by reaching a substantial $31.5 million settlement with former manager Scooter Braun, ending years of reported financial dispute catalyzed by the cancellation of the Justice World Tour. People confirmed that Bieber's payment covers both tour advances and unpaid commissions. This settlement punctuates broader reporting, including a spring documentary and comments from sources close to the star, emphasizing that the past two years have tested Bieber's financial management and strained some of his inner circle relationships.In the world of fashion, the singer is turning heads with his upcoming brand Skylrk, teasing bright apparel and accessories across his social media—with notable nods to Hailey's Rhode phone cases. Bieber was also seen courtside with Hailey at The League X Blem basketball event late in August, with Just Jared chronicling their affectionate appearance and the buzz it sparked online, from candid PDA to Justin sporting Skylrk-branded gear. Together, they've re-emerged as pop culture's most-watched power couple, their collective worth soaring after Hailey's mega-deal.As the Yukon video racks up streams and Skylrk speculation mounts, it looks like Bieber's next chapter may be as much about family, fashion, and social reinvention as music—though with him, nothing ever stays static for long.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOta

Justin Bieber BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Justin Bieber has had a notably eventful and revealing week with several newsworthy developments across music, business, and his personal life. The most headline-grabbing moment is the apparent resolution of his long-standing financial dispute with former manager Scooter Braun. According to reports from People and TMZ, Justin has agreed to pay Braun and Hybe $31.5 million, settling costs related to the early cancellation of his Justice Tour back in 2022. The tour cancellation was driven by health issues, and the payment includes $26 million he was ordered to repay after Aeg paid him a substantial advance which now needs reimbursing. This move closes a major chapter in Bieber's business affairs and could impact his future management and touring prospects.On the music front, Bieber's new album “SWAG,” released July 10, continues to generate buzz. Critics at The Emory Wheel praise its vulnerable songwriting and production, noting that the album's central theme is love, specifically his relationship with wife Hailey Bieber.

Bieber has spoken candidly about his mental health struggles through the album and social media, confirming that creating and sharing music helps him maintain stability during periods of anxiety.Socially, Bieber maintains a low public profile, but recently made several appearances in New York, sparking concern among fans about his wellbeing. According to The Hollywood Gossip and IMDb, speculation surrounding his health intensified after fans commented on changes to his appearance. Nevertheless, sources close to the singer tell Entertainment Tonight and Elle that he is focused on being present for Hailey and their son Jack, managing anxiety, and working on his marriage, which has reportedly stabilized following earlier rough patches. The couple will celebrate son Jack's first birthday this week and their seventh anniversary next month.Bieber's business ventures are also thriving. His fashion brand SKYLRK, launched in July, is moving beyond apparel with the teasing of a futuristic bench prototype and a collaboration with adidas Football—both previewed on Instagram and covered by Hypebeast and EntertainmentNow. Bieber's business empire, together with Hailey's $212 million cosmetics brand Rhode, is estimated to be approaching $400 million. He was spotted supporting music peers at Gunna's album release party in Los Angeles, his latest public outing.Finally, social media was abuzz over a Las Vegas incident where a lookalike impersonated Bieber and was ejected from the Wynn nightclub, highlighting the persistent fan obsession and ongoing scrutiny of his image. These varied developments collectively mark an important juncture, showcasing Bieber's multifaceted career, ongoing personal growth, and resilience in navigating both public and private challenges.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOta

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.

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
Justin Bieber BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Justin Bieber has returned to the spotlight with a slate of major headlines, new music, business news, and, as ever, persistent speculation about his private life. Just last week, Bieber released his seventh studio album, "Swag," his first full-length record in over four years, which NPR hailed as a notable comeback that veers toward an alternative rock sound and features introspective lyrics about marriage and mental health. The album dropped without much conventional promotion, causing fans and critics alike to revisit Bieber's ever-evolving relationship with the spotlight and his personal demons. "Swag" comes packaged not just with fresh songs but with subtle messages about his life, including nods to ongoing marital challenges with his wife, Hailey Bieber – all while silencing, for now, rumors of a split. Elle reports that Bieber used recent Instagram posts, including a photo of him kissing Hailey, to push back on breakup speculation, while tracks like "Walking Away" and "Daisies" tackle their ups and downs with uncharacteristic candor.Behind the confident public façade, however, reports from The Blast and Page Six suggest Bieber continues to battle mood swings and pressure from both fame and expectations at home, with insiders describing deeper struggles despite his seemingly happy family life. Having welcomed their son Jack Blues less than a year ago, the couple is now navigating not just new parenthood but Bieber's ongoing search for stability.Financially, Bieber is also making headlines. TMZ and Economic Times confirm that he owes $31.5 million in settled debt to Scooter Braun's Hybe — debt he cannot clear until his wife Hailey's $1 billion Rhode beauty company sale officially closes, a deal poised to net Bieber $50 million as a significant investor. According to sources, this wait has delayed his ability to pay off the debt, despite pocketing $200 million from his earlier music catalog sale; substantial chunks of that sum have already been eaten up by taxes and expenses, showcasing rare vulnerability for a superstar previously thought to be endlessly flush.Outside music, Bieber's new fashion venture, SKYLRK, has reignited the kind of social media chatter that has followed him since his teens. NSS Magazine describes the launch of SKYLRK as a calculated, controversy-infused rebranding—more playful than past efforts, yet very much blending the provocative with the personal. On Instagram, Bieber has been sharing family photos, behind-the-scenes content, and candid moments, keeping the online narrative alive while stirring curiosity about which version of himself he will present next.Through it all, while speculation about his health, marriage, and fortune never really ceases, one thing is clear: Justin Bieber's next chapter is being written in real time, with all its complications and comeback moments on full display.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOta

If you've ever asked, “How do I actually play Warhammer Fantasy Role Play?”—this episode is your crash course, chaos crash cart, and comedy club all rolled into one. Grab your dice, pack your herbs, and don't forget your gloves. Things are about to get weird in the woods. Thank you to our sponsor, DM Adamantine! If you're ready to play with an expert GM in a one-of-a-kind setting, check out Dungeon Master Adamantine at dungeonmasteradamantine.com or find him on StartPlaying for custom sessions in Greece or online! In this episode of the RPGBOT.Podcast, the crew dives headfirst into the brutal, baroque, and frequently blood-soaked world of Warhammer Fantasy Role Play (WFRP). If you're curious how to actually play this wonderfully grim system, this episode is your map through the muck. Starting from character creation and setting expectations, all the way to navigating the forest of chaos (literally), the group explores what makes WFRP so distinct: the constant tension between survival and corruption, competition and camaraderie, comedy and catastrophe. The party's in-character quest for the rare herb Bitterknot becomes the perfect showcase for WFRP's mechanics and tone. Along the way, they meet eccentric NPCs, battle chaos-touched creatures, and argue about gloves—a classic day in the Empire. Whether you're a grizzled veteran of the Old World or thinking about picking up the dice for the first time, this episode shows you how to embrace the grit, gallows humor, and genuine strategy of Warhammer Fantasy. Key Takeaways Setting & Tone Warhammer presents a grim, dangerous world filled with corruption, chaos, and questionable hygiene. Altdorf acts as a central hub for player activity and plot progression. Survival, suspicion, and dark humor are essential ingredients to the game's tone. Character & Story Characters come with detailed backstories that influence gameplay decisions. The party dynamic (rivals for a master's favor) fuels roleplaying opportunities and in-game tension. Motivations matter—success often depends on how well characters leverage their personal goals. Low resources and high stakes force creative problem-solving and resource management. The Quest for Bitterknot The search for the rare herb Bitterknot ties together exploration, negotiation, and danger. Players interact with memorable NPCs like the allergy-prone Old Marla and helpful friend Kruger. Preparation, like acquiring gloves and supplies, plays a huge role in staying alive. Exploration & Conflict The Blood Pine Woods are filled with beastmen, warp-tainted terrain, and the occasional dead horse. Exploration includes clue-finding (claw marks, glowing signs) and evasion through stealth. Highwaymen introduce social conflict, resolved through intimidation or diplomacy. Combat & Mechanics Initiative rolls set the pace; positioning and terrain influence the outcomes. Combat emphasizes both tactical planning and the chaos of dice-driven randomness. Environmental strategy can be key to survival. Warpstone introduces a risk-reward dilemma: magical power at the cost of corruption and mutation. Corruption & Consequences Corruption checks protect characters from warping into something... less than human. Warpstone may grant power, but repeated use can change characters in dramatic ways. Decisions in combat and exploration ripple through the story and character arcs. Humor & Group Dynamics Unexpected moments like daisy allergies and potion mishaps add levity to grim adventures. Player banter and team dynamics are essential to the fun and flavor of the game. Return to Altdorf provides a moment of reflection—and the kind of closure only WFRP can offer.

I'll be playing with this concept more in the future (hopefully next time on actual watercolor paper and maybe using other media too). Knitting in Passing A nice gentleman said my crochet was beautiful and that he crochets. I showed him my tank top which was nearly done at the time. We went to a grad party for my SIL and a friend of hers remembered me from Zach's birthday. She wants to crochet so we talked about resources etc. Reconnected with some of Dan's cousins recently. His cousin Melissa and I often talk books, so that was fun but she also said she'd like to learn to knit and/or crochet. Hoping to get together with her for lunch in Boston soon. Thank you to Suzanne- Sew Run It for the beautiful handknit hat and three knit hearts for my birthday. She started it shortly after my mom passed. Her notes say "The colors screamed Diane! The pattern is called Pair of Hearts and it too felt like a connection with her. I know you were and will remain close." Pattern= Pair of Hearts is by Chit Chat Knits and is available on Ravelry for $4.50.

Quality time at the nail salon with Riley Knitting by the pool as Riley, Garret & Millie took their first dip. Will's high school graduation party. Flowers for my birthday Red Sox game with my Dad. A stressful work project really ramped up on my birthday. My friend got yummy pastries for us to share in the office. Celebrating my birthday with Dan, Dad, Riley Garret and Millie. Really funny birthday videos from Gabriella & Zachary. Audible sale. I got a ton of great books and I'm really excited about reading again. Daisies are finally starting to come in. They grow wild in our yard but they're late this year.
