Justin Bieber BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Justin Bieber has dominated headlines and social feeds over the past week with a blend of cheeky antics and serious music moves. His most viral moment came courtesy of his Instagram, where he posted several photos and videos riding a Segway through the woods and hanging out with friends wearing little more than tighty-whities, proving he's still the king of thirst traps. Fans flooded the comments, some asking for his wife Hailey to reclaim his phone, but most just loved seeing Justin so unfiltered and playful. According to Mix929, Bieber doubled down, sharing at least seven videos of himself doing solo karaoke from his basement, belting out tracks from his new albums SWAG and SWAG II. He earned praise for giving fans raw live vocals and, not surprisingly, prompted speculation about a possible comeback tour—a possibility that has some fans gleeful and others cautioning that mental health stays the priority after his last world tour was canceled mid-run due to health concerns.Business-wise, Bieber moved fast. Hot off the release of SWAG just two months ago, he dropped SWAG II in classic surprise Bieber fashion, with a midnight launch that didn't actually land until early morning due to technical hiccups. Both The Hollywood Reporter and Q92.9 note that this marks the first time Bieber's released two full albums in one year, signaling a new prolific phase in his career after several years of musical hiatus. SWAG II reportedly draws heavily from his marriage to Hailey, fueling fresh rumors about potential lyrical references to ex Selena Gomez. As FandomWire points out, Bieber's new music—combined with cryptic social posts about delays and track drops—has generated speculation but no confirmed drama between him and Gomez.Meanwhile, paparazzi and celeb-watchers caught Bieber sporting a scruffy beard while traveling via private jet, and TMZ TV lampooned the star for his nearly-naked Segway photo ops, calling him an enigma who craves privacy yet parades his quirks for millions. There's been zero credible controversy in his relationship, despite ongoing internet conspiracy theories capitalizing on every playful moment or cryptic lyric.In summary, Justin Bieber is showing fans every side of himself: eager performer, prolific hitmaker, and inveterate Instagram exhibitionist. The surprise album drops and potential hints at future tours are undoubtedly his most significant moves, with music industry insiders pegging Bieber's SWAG era as a comeback that could reshape his legacy for years to come.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOta

Welcome back to a brand new episode of the This Day Podcast! Today on the podcast we have Country Music artist Charly Reynolds joining us. Charly comes on to talk about her journey thus far in the music industry!

In this recent interview on The Ash Said It Show, rising R&B artist Bria Cheri offered a deep dive into the creative process and powerful message behind her latest single, "Boy Toy." The conversation captivated listeners as Bria explained the song's bold title and its relevance to contemporary relationships. Challenging Norms with a Provocative Title Bria Cheri revealed that the title "Boy Toy" was a deliberate choice, designed to be provocative and challenge traditional gender roles within relationships. She shared that the song's narrative is a powerful blend of personal experience and broader observations, serving as an anthem for reclaiming power and agency. The song redefines the "boy toy" label, transforming it from a term of subservience into a symbol of strength and self-possession. Musicality and Emotional Authenticity Beyond the lyrics, Bria discussed the meticulous crafting of the song's musicality. She highlighted how the instrumentation was carefully chosen to evoke a sense of confidence and empowerment, complementing the single's powerful message. The interview also touched on the vulnerability required to write such authentic lyrics, a challenge Bria embraced to ensure her storytelling remained raw and genuine. What's Next for Bria Cheri Concluding the interview, Bria Cheri hinted that "Boy Toy" is just a glimpse of a larger, upcoming project. Fans can anticipate more music that delves into complex relationship themes, all delivered with her signature blend of soulful R&B and raw emotional honesty. This interview provides a look into Bria Cheri's artistry, cementing her as an artist who uses her music to spark important conversations about modern love, empowerment, and authenticity. Web: https://www.briacheri.com/ Bio: Bria Cheri is a graduate from Long Island University Post with a degree in Broadcast Journalism/Public Relations. She is a member of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. She is a singer-songwriter, aspiring actress, dancer, and pianist from Jamaica Queens, NY, who currently resides in Long Island, NY. Bria has spent over a decade perfecting her craft in music professionally for over ten years.   As time progressed, she explored acting in a few independent films as an extra and managed/hosted her own radio show FLAVA at Long Island University. After graduation, Bria Cheri volunteered her time online with several radio stations such as KFSM radio, FreedomKRadio, WRDR radio, Rebel 107.9 and Radiomga.com to support independent artists. She wanted to help promote their music on the networks and interview them to inform a broader audience about their talent. Music has always been a part of Bria Cheri's heart & soul. Her musical influences range from rock, jazz, house music and hip-hop. So, no matter what genre of music the artist had, she always welcomed them to her show in addition to recommending them to the affiliated stations. Today, Bria has been very tenacious with her career.  When she is not performing, she will either write music on her own based on some elements of her experiences, observations, or collaborate with songwriters. Very often she will play the keyboard to create a beat to stimulate her song writing ideas. When she needs additional creative ideas, Bria Cheri notifies her mentor Donnie Klang or songwriter Kyle Davidson. Donnie Klang who is a singer, songwriter, and producer was formerly signed to Bad Boy Records after winning MTV's reality show, “Making the Band 4.” Donnie owns and operates his recording studio with business partner Matthew LaPorter, known as The Loft Sound Studio, LLC in Syosset, NY. He has produced Bria's debut EP titled, "Before the Music" as well as her second EP, “Silent Siren Vol 1, inclusive of other projects. Bria Cheri released her third EP, titled “Phoenix” in 2023, which was produced by Raphael Gibbs from Become Elite Media, LLC. The project encapsulates her growth as an artist and as a woman. This project inspired her to release another video on YouTube, “Don't Worry.' As of April 2023, Bria Cheri's musical journey enabled her the honor of meeting and opening for the legendary Styles P from the Hip-Hop group, The Lox, at Bullet Proof Studios in New Jersey. In 2024, Bria Cheri performed at the “So Fly So Fabulous Fashion Show” in New York City and was interviewed by Sway at SiriusXM on the Sway In The Morning radio show. The So Fly So Fabulous event was the first performance at a fashion show, but the energy from the audience, featuring artists and the DJ made it worthwhile in combination with the phenomenal and unique fashion designs by Sara Louis. Bria Cheri's interview with Sway expressed who she is as an artist and was very appreciative for the opportunity to showcase her talent to a national audience. The interview can be found on YouTube entitled, “Sway's Universe” at https://youtu.be/rKVkfZgWgVw. Currently, a new song “Boy Toy” produced by Donnie Klang with songwriting collaborator Kyle Davidson will be released on Tuesday, September 9, 2025. The song delves into playful roles in dating. It is an upbeat song you can dance to. More music can be found at https://briacheri.bandcamp.com.

Mango Bae is back with indie rock legend Anand Wilder (co-founder of Yeasayer, now flying solo with his new album Psychic Lessons).

Justin Timberlake BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Justin Timberlake has dominated headlines the past few days after revealing in a heartfelt July 31 Instagram statement that he's been battling Lyme disease. According to AOL, Timberlake described his struggle as relentlessly debilitating, saying the diagnosis finally explained the bouts of nerve pain, crushing fatigue, and illness he endured on stage during his recently wrapped Forget Tomorrow World Tour. The pop icon admitted he considered canceling the tour more than once but ultimately pressed on, crediting the pure joy he gets from performing as greater than the stress on his body. As he opened up about his condition, Timberlake acknowledged speculation around his recent live appearances, particularly the noticeably low-energy performances that drew bewildered responses from concert goers and social media. Viral TikToks surfaced showing him barely singing in Transylvania, prompting widespread fan concern and a wave of commentary online. TwistedSifter dryly noted he “phoned in” the set, with clips showing Timberlake letting the crowd fill in lyrics while he swayed passively, fueling questions regarding his health and commitment on stage.His statement marks a rare public transparency from Timberlake, a notoriously private star, and the tone strongly suggested this might have been his last big tour, or at least the end of arena-scale performances for now. He capped the announcement by thanking fans, his touring crew, and especially his wife Jessica Biel and their children for “unconditional love,” saying he's unsure what the future holds for his live shows. The news trended widely on X and Instagram, with #JustinTimberlakeHealth one of the top searches.In business news, Finance Monthly and Scottish Sun report Timberlake is expanding his portfolio, partnering with Tiger Woods to launch a sports bar and cinema called T-Squared Social in St Andrews, Scotland, coming this fall after a successful launch in New York. His recent real estate play—offloading a massive Tennessee estate—has also made the property news pages. Meanwhile, Billboard and Rolling Stone confirmed Timberlake as a headliner for the 2025 BottleRock festival, though it remains unknown whether his diagnosis will impact future commitments.Coverage has focused on the biographical weight of his health revelation, widely seen as a turning point for one of pop's most resilient entertainers. Timberlake's candidness has drawn empathy from the music world and fans alike. Whatever comes next, his honesty in the face of adversity is cementing a new chapter in a superstar legacy.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOta

We are rewinding and playing back some of our favorite guests during the month of August and today we have our own Chief Creative Officer from way back when he was the creative force at Artiphon.

Justin Bieber BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.In the past several days Justin Bieber has been at the center of both public fascination and speculation thanks to a convergence of personal updates, new business ventures, and a highly scrutinized online presence. He set off a frenzy on August 15 by posting a striking, well-groomed photo of himself staring directly into the camera that ignited rumors of a so-called glow-up era. According to Just N Life the internet quickly exploded with theories that Bieber was signaling a personal transformation, prompting everything from glowing praise about his look to wild speculation on inner changes.Bieber doubled down on the headlines by sharing another image featuring Kendall Jenner, a longtime friend periodically linked to him romantically. The understated vibe of the post unleashed a torrent of online theories—some wondered if he was hinting at changes in his inner circle, others fed persistent rumors about the state of his marriage to Hailey Bieber. Hailey herself playfully dismissed any drama with a lighthearted comment, then reappeared with Justin in a follow-up photo showing them together, apparently content and all smiles under neon lights, which temporarily calmed some of the divorce speculation.Meanwhile, Bieber kept the public guessing with provocative social media activity, including a so-called thirst trap—shirtless gym selfies with a cheeky caption—that had Hailey rolling her eyes in the comments, as reported by TMZ. This playful interaction did little to quiet buzz about their relationship but reinforced the sense that their marriage, while subject to scrutiny, remains publicly unified. As AOL and People reported, the pair celebrated their son Jack's first birthday last week and continue to blend public and private life with carefully chosen glimpses.On the business front, Bieber is actively expanding his brand SKYLRK, teasing a futuristic orange bench design as a possible foray into homeware, according to Entertainment Now. His apparel brand, headed creatively by Finn Rush-Taylor, launched shortly after Bieber's 7th studio album Swag in July and marks his public distancing from previous streetwear label Drew House. Between SKYLRK, Hailey's blockbuster Rhode Beauty company, and his lucrative $200 million sale of song rights to Hipgnosis, the family's estimated net worth is nearing $400 million.Bieber's public appearances in New York drew concern among some fans who speculated about his health and demeanor, with recent outings prompting debate even as in-person concert nights advertised as Justin Bieber Night kept turning out crowds at venues like Bowery Ballroom. Despite the persistent rumor mill—about his marriage, his look, or his business moves—Bieber continues to generate widespread attention with even the simplest social media post, each becoming a catalyst for broader speculation and fascination. Whether it is a real glow-up era or just another cycle in the Bieber news loop, the world is, as usual, watching and reacting.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOta

Justin Bieber BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Justin Bieber has dominated headlines over the past week, with developments ranging from high-stakes business settlements to viral nightlife chaos and family milestones ahead of his son's upcoming first birthday. The most discussed story centers on Bieber's resolution of a long-running financial dispute with former manager Scooter Braun. According to Just Jared and People, Bieber has agreed to pay Braun and his company Hybe approximately 31.5 million dollars, which includes 26 million owed after canceling the second half of his Justice Tour in 2022 to focus on his health. The settlement concludes months of rumors about a rift between the pop star and Braun and closes a chapter marked by speculation regarding Bieber's team, music rights, and tour finances.In the realm of business activity, Enstarz reports that Bieber recently purchased a seven-million-dollar home by a lake in Idaho, near the members-only Gozzer Ranch Golf & Lake Club, marking a further commitment to keeping his family out of the limelight when not in their main Los Angeles residence. Property records reportedly confirm that Bieber and his wife, Hailey, have frequented the area for years and now own a 5000-square-foot retreat with plenty of space for gatherings andJustin Bieber's week has been a whirlwind of headlines, public intrigue, and major business moves. Undoubtedly the biggest story is the multimillion-dollar settlement with his former manager Scooter Braun—Just Jared and People confirm Bieber has agreed to pay Braun and Hybe about 31.5 million dollars, most of it tied to advances and expenses from the canceled second leg of his Justice Tour back in 2022. The dispute, ongoing since Bieber's early exit from the tour for health reasons, involved Braun's company covering millions owed to AEG Presents; Bieber's new payment wraps up over two years of speculation about possible litigation and rumors of a protracted falling out.On a more upbeat note, Bieber made a splash on social media by revealing new family moments in Idaho. Elle Magazine reports baby Jack Blues Bieber is about to turn one, and both Justin and Hailey have posted affectionate photos: Justin with Jack on his shoulders, Hailey with Jack in a bright yellow romper. The posts come after Enstarz reported Bieber's recent seven-million-dollar purchase—a sprawling lakefront home near the Gozzer Ranch Golf & Lake Club, a favorite hideaway for families seeking privacy. Locals and insiders emphasize how the Biebers cherish their quieter life there as a grounding counterbalance to their high-profile LA existence.Online buzz also flared dramatically over the weekend after a Justin Bieber impersonator crashed XS Nightclub in Las Vegas. According to Straight Arrow News and Z97.1, the impersonator, French lookalike Dylan Desclos, fooled staff, DJ Gryffin, and partygoers, even delivering a lip-synced performance on stage before being ejected by security. Clips of the commotion went viral, fueling playful speculation online. Hailey Bieber even commented on similar stunts by Desclos in the past, joking, I'm scared... No verified reports indicate Bieber was present or involved—this was all the work of a very dedicated doppelganger.Social media watchers have also picked up on Bieber teasing “more news coming soon” in recent Instagram posts with cryptic captions and emojis, although neither he nor his representatives have clarified plans for new music or appearances. This leaves fans speculating, but, as of now, those hints remain unconfirmed. Through it all, Bieber and Hailey appear to be on solid footing as a couple, weathering rumors and celebrating family milestones. Sources close to the pair tell Entertainment Tonight that challenges earlier in the year did not put divorce on the table and that their faith and commitment to Jack are a stabilizing force. As the headlines suggest, it's been a week blending business drama, heartfelt fatherhood, viral chaos, and continued speculation about what Bieber's got planned next.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOta

Early in August, Record Store Day held their annual "Summer Camp" meeting in New Orleans, once again returning to the lovely Hotel Monteleone, in the heart of the French Quarter, for a few days of meeting, schmoozing, and, frankly, Big Easy cuisine. During the week, host Paul Myers recorded a couple of live interviews with musicians talking about their approach to the music business in 2025.  Today, we are sharing one of them. Guitarist, singer, songwriter, producer David Rawlings, whose most recent album with Gillian Welch, Woodland, was one of the best records of 2024, sat down with Paul in the Hotel Monteleone ballroom to discuss his duo's truly independent, and self-reliant, approach to the business of music making and distribution. Welch and Rawlings are co-owners of Nashville's Woodland Studio, their own Acony Records label, and now, they are partners in their own prestige pressing facility, Paramount Pressing & Plating, in Denver, Colorado. It's a fun talk! The Record Store Day Podcast is a weekly music chat show written, produced, engineered and hosted by Paul Myers, who also composed the theme music and selected interstitial music.  Executive Producers (for Record Store Day) Michael Kurtz and Carrie Colliton.

Entertainment Is Broken: Why TV, Movies, and Radio Have Lost Their Soul | Karel Cast 25-112 The entertainment industry is collapsing under its own weight. • MSNBC is rebranding to MS NOW (My Source: News, Opinion, World) — but who asked for this? Certainly not viewers. This is another corporate boardroom decision with zero connection to the audience. • Streaming services keep raising prices while serving us endless hours of junk. Quality TV has become so rare we treat it like a miracle when it actually happens. • Movie studios are stuck on repeat — recycling old franchises, rebooting classics, and chasing box office dollars while abandoning originality and star-making magic. • Radio? Dying even faster, as corporations fight to control more stations in each market, suffocating creativity and local voices. We spend billions of dollars and millions of hours consuming “content,” but what happened to entertainment? Why has it lost its way? And what needs to change?
