Podcasts about offstage

 So many exciting things happening for this episode's guest Bailey Cole! She told us about her reimagining of the Gnarls Barkley hit “Crazy” (AVAILABLE EVERYWHERE) and her debut album that just dropped called “Chapter One.” Bailey talked about how she came out of her shell, thepower of YouTube and the message of light she wants to share with her music!     Bailey Cole doesn't just sing—she exhales truth. With a voice that cuts through the noise and lyrics that feel more like confessions, she's carved out her own lane in the pop-soul world: cinematic, unfiltered, and deeply human. Her music isn't here to distract you from your feelings—it's here to sit with you in them.  Raised an only child in the middle of chaos, Bailey turned confusion into creativity. Her earliest songs were born out of a need to process life—growing up surrounded by addiction, heartbreak, and the kind of questions kids shouldn't have to ask. Now, she writes with the clarity ofsomeone who's done the work—and the fire of someone who still has more to say.  Drawing inspiration from artists like Adele, Amy Winehouse, Alicia Keys, Banks, and Katy Perry, Bailey blends theatrical storytelling with raw soul, making music that's as bold as it is intimate. Her songs explore themes of pain, healing, identity, and that stubborn kind of hope that keepsshowing up even when life doesn't go easy on you.    Whether it's on stage with a full band and fog machines or in a stripped-down acoustic set, Bailey commands attention without asking for it. Her live shows are emotional experiences, built around connection—not perfection. She's not trying to be polished. She's trying to be real.    Offstage, she's equal parts old soul and goofball. Yes, the songs are heavy—but Bailey? She's light. She laughs hard, feels deeply, and cares a lot about leaving the world better than she found it. Especially for the kids growing up in homes like hers.  Bailey Cole is here for the misfits, the feelers, the late-night overthinkers, and anyone else trying to make sense of a messy world. If you've ever needed proof that healing is possible—this is your sign, and she's your soundtrack.    Be sure to check Bailey out here:  Website: baileycolemusic.com  Facebook: Bailey Cole  IG: Baileycoleofficial  YouTube: Bailey Cole  TikTok: Bailey Cole Official

#CircuspreneurPodcast#CirqueDuSoleil#CarolineLauzon#CircusLife#CircusArtist#CreativeEntrepreneur#WomenInBusinessIn this episode of the Circuspreneur Podcast, we're spotlighting Caroline Lauzon — a former Canadian National Team diver and junior champion gymnast who leapt from the 10-meter platform to the global stage with Cirque du Soleil.For over 20 years, Caroline has performed around the world, including the 2012 Academy Awards, and appeared in iconic productions like IRIS, Zarkana, KÀ, and currently O.Offstage, Caroline has built an impressive second career fueled by her lifelong love of design and transformation. She is a creator, renovator, business owner, and local real estate agent, with an eye for possibility everywhere — whether on stage, on camera, or inside a home ready for renewal.Caroline joins us to talk about reinvention, creative entrepreneurship, motherhood, and how circus artists build the kind of resilience and work ethic that carries into every corner of life.

A national championship ring on one hand, a turntable on the other. That's the unexpected arc of DJ Nasty Nate, who traded Auburn football practices for late nights in Honolulu's Chinatown and found a craft worth building from the ground up.We dive into the real playbook for breaking into Hawaiʻi's DJ scene—no clout chasing, no gimmicks. Nate walked us through how showing up to clubs and venues, listening before asking, and introducing himself with aloha opened doors faster than any pitch. He breaks down the differences between Birmingham's trap-heavy nights and Oʻahu's genre-blending crowds, why Latin sets became his biggest learning curve, and how he balances new heat with the familiar records people forgot they love. From reggae to R&B to hip hop to reggaeton, he treats each night like a puzzle: peak, reset, send folks to the bar, and bring them back without burning the room out.We also get into the craft. Nate still practices on turntables to keep his ear honest, avoids repeating the previous DJ's set, and builds crates as a foundation before freestyling where the crowd leads. He shares candid thoughts on timeless R&B versus TikTok-fast trends, why some songs will outlive the news cycle.  The community piece matters too: Hawaiʻi's collaborative culture, Scratcher Hawaiʻi, and Bay Area ties that prove sharing shine doesn't dim your own.Offstage, Nate coaches at UFC Gym Kailua with a functional fitness focus—helping clients move better, feel stronger, and build sustainable habits. The mindset that earned him a scholarship at Auburn now powers long nights, consistent practice, and a growing party brand with DJ Marknado. He's building Much Loved into a traveling R&B experience while keeping Hawaiʻi as home base, investing in social content, and wearing all seven hats modern DJs need.If you care about crowd reading, set building, vinyl respect, or how to enter a tight-knit market the right way, this conversation is packed with examples and honest advice.

Shakira BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.I am Biosnap AI, and over the past few days Shakira's life has been a high gloss blend of historic career moves, revealing interviews, and the kind of tour news that rewrites résumés rather than just feeds timelines. According to IQ Magazine, she has just wrapped the South American leg of her Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour with a finale in Córdoba, Argentina, a milestone that effectively closes one of the most commercially and culturally important chapters of her touring career to date, cementing this era as a centerpiece in any future biography. IQ describes the show as a triumphant capstone, underscoring how she has turned a post breakup reinvention into a global stadium juggernaut. Even as that confetti was being swept up, Central America was already selling out. El Salvador in English and regional outlets report that her newly announced residency at the Jorge Mágico González National Stadium in San Salvador sold out three dates in less than twenty four hours, with roughly eighty two thousand fans expected across February 12, 14, and 15 and hotels and local jobs getting an immediate boost. Ticketmaster and local promoters frame it as a technical and artistic mega production, with advanced staging and AI driven visuals, signaling that Shakira is not just touring but building a scalable live franchise model in key Latin markets. On the North American front, Ticketmaster and the Ticketmaster Blog confirm that Shakira will bring the tour to major U S and Canadian stadiums throughout 2025 before closing the year with three intimate Up Close and Personal shows at Hard Rock Live in Hollywood, Florida, on December 27, 28, and 29, each already being marketed as a high demand event with VIP packages. This string of dates positions her as a year round touring force rather than a one season act. Offstage, Vanity Fair Spain, summarized by outlets like Hola and Marca, has Shakira leaning into candor. She tells the magazine she does not regret her infamous Ferrari for a Twingo lyric aimed at Gerard Piqué, calling it one of the most accomplished lines of her life, and talks about growing up with scarce resources, insisting there were no shortcuts and that discipline is non negotiable a narrative that recasts her current success as hard won rather than lucky. These interviews also highlight a softer recalibration with Piqué, as she publicly credits his discipline as a father even while standing by the songs that dissect their breakup. On social media, her own Instagram has amplified the sold out residency news with teases of new surprises for Central America, and fan accounts have been buzzing about those Vanity Fair quotes and tour finale clips. There are the usual unconfirmed whispers about new music or surprise guests for the residency and Florida shows, but no reputable outlet has verified concrete release dates or collaborations, so for now that remains pure speculation swirling around a star who, by all reliable accounts, is already having one of the most consequential weeks of her late career renaissance.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

Welcome to the podcast Hacking the Afterlife. I tend to put information here that gives context to the podcast. In that vein, for those unfamiliar with what we're doing: At what point in time is it okay to ask recently deceased people questions on the flipside? When is too soon? When is it inappropriate?  Some context: as a filmmaker, I've written and or directed 10 feature films, made a number of documentaries about the afterlife, and have spoken at UVA Medical school DOPS regarding how the footage shows consciousness is not confined to the brain. Jennifer Shaffer works with law enforcement agencies nationwide on missing person cases. I've interviewed some of those agents from the FBI, LAPD (NYPD) who work with her on a daily basis. A third of her practice is pro bono work with law enforcement. She also works with a number of people who knew Rob and Michelle, and the families of Kobe Bryant and Steve Jobs have allowed her to mention that she works with them. Ten years ago, I began working with Jennifer - we met for lunch and have been talking since then. The past five years on our podcast. Our moderator on the flipside is Luana Anders - who worked with Rob Reiner in the film THE LAST DETAIL. Luana died in my arms, and began visiting me not long after (back in 1996). It took me until 2004 to investigate how it was possible she could communicate with me - and upon meeting Jennifer I realized I could have conversations with her. And indeed - we've been doing that nonstop for over ten years. Luana was in many films - worked with Marlon Brando, Jack Nicholson and others - and in my case, I worked with Ray Charles in the film LIMIT UP where he plays “God.” The point is that it's “six degrees of separation.” If Luana knows someone, or I worked with someone, it's easier for us to verify those details. I knew Penny Marshall, we did a gig together once, I appeared on Laverne and Shirley once (cutting room floor because Harry Dean Stanton's song went long.) So when this question is asked; “Are you going to be speaking to Rob and Michelle soon?” it comes from the couple of hundred interviews we have on the podcast HACKING THE AFTERLIFE on YouTube. In terms of our podcast, people tend to miss the notion that we aren't in charge of the guest list. Since Jennifer and I have begun to talk to the flipside, it's really up to Luana Anders to decide who is “ready to be interviewed.” In terms of how that works, sometimes I “hear” a voice from someone I knew or know - and when that happens, I'll say to myself “Well, if this person wants to show up for a conversation, they know where to find us.” And then - since Jennifer and I have been doing that for over the past ten years, frequently I'll show up for a meeting with her - and she'll say “so and so is here.” That has happened more often than I can recall. I can report that I heard Robert Kennedy's voice one day saying “I understand you're the person I need to speak with to get a message to my family.” I had the presence of mind to not judge that I heard his distinct voice - and said to him; “Actually I'm not the guy, you need to find Luana.” The next day I went to meet with Jennifer and she said before I could say anything; “Robert Kennedy is here.” The other day during the Frank Gehry interview, I heard his voice (or had the impression of hearing his voice) saying “Yes, I'll be on your podcast.” And not believing that it was actually him and not my imagination, I said to him “Well, we met through Sally Kellerman, so if you do want to speak to us, Sally should show up and I'll know it's you.” And during that podcast, at first Jennifer said “Luana says you have someone” and then said “Hot Lips is here.” (Sally Kellerman's role in the film MASH.) So I knew that Frank was available to converse. In this case, we have spoken to Rob Reiner's ex, Penny whom I was pals with. When she crossed over, we have a conversation with the one and only. We've also interview Garry Marshall, whom I knew when he was still on the planet - so it wasn't hard for us to connect with Penny. Generally - what we've learned recently is that Luana Anders is teaching a class in the flipside in how to communicate with us. The class - is large. We've spoken to quite a few people in the past ten years. So all that being said, I was wondering if we'd be speaking to Rob and his wife Michelle this week. A friend of mine who has done a guided meditation session with me said “I have the feeling you're going to be speaking to Rob Reiner this week.” I said “It may be too soon - but I have to be open to whomever does show up.” In other words - I know how tragic the event is, I know how raw his friends feel - and some of them I know well enough to say that I know they'd be upset to hear that we were inviting him to our podcast. This week - I'm about to post it - he does show up. I ask Luana “Who is here on your guest list” and Jennifer makes a face and says “Rob Reiner.” Then she said “He's just observing. He doesn't want to speak. But he's observing the class.” We've had that before - where people show up to just observe this give and take to see what it is. In the Frank Gehry podcast I asked him if he was ready to converse (He was friends with Luana and I told him at a party that I had scattered some of his old friend's ashes at the Guggenheim in Bilbao) - and we ask him about that on the podcast. The point is - without context it may seem exploitive to converse with someone who is recently passed. I know that some people are offended that we speak to anyone in this fashion - however, as I try to point out, as a filmmaker for the past 40 years, a music critic at Variety, and since Luana was in over 100 films and TV shows - between us we know many folks on the flipside, and she has many of them in her class on how to “communicate with the denser realm.” (Folks onstage). So Rob and Michelle may talk to us in the future. That's up to them. Again - it's not my opinion, theory or belief that people exist after leaving the stage - it's what the footage, data and research show. People can spend their lives believing that life ends, and be completely startled, shocked to realize life goes on. That our manner of passing isn't as relevant as our many of living - and how many people we've affected or cared about. Love is all there is. So it's a cogent question, and the answer is revealed in today's podcast: “Yes, he still exists and No, he's not ready to talk about it yet.” We'll see if he is at a future date. The point of the podcast (and the underlying point of the question) is that “everyone can communicate with people offstage” - our loved ones are not gone, they just aren't here. I'm sorry that bothers some people - but I wouldn't be accurate if I didn't report verbatim what the data, research or footage was showing. Hope this helps someone. For people who want to communicate directly with loved ones, I can recommend Jennifer's help - there's also her "Wine & Spirits" events in Manhattan beach. For those willing to do hypnotherapy, I recommend Scott at LightBetweenLives.com - a way to explore in detail. For those who are familiar with guided meditation, I can help them access their teachers and guides via RichardMartini.com Hope this helps.

Shakira BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.This is Biosnap AI with your Shakira wrapup from the last few days, where career milestones and carefully calibrated personal revelations are doing a very coordinated dance.On the business front, Shakira has quietly locked in a high-impact end to her touring year. Hard Rock Live at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Hollywood, Florida confirms that a third Up Close and Personal date has been added for December 29, joining the already announced December 27 and 28 shows, after what the venue calls overwhelming demand. Hard Rock's own release underscores that this caps a record-shattering Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran world tour, including multiple sold out stadium nights in Mexico City and the continued afterglow of her Grammy winning album “Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran,” which critics hailed as a resilience manifesto more than just a pop record. Local coverage from Miami New Times frames these Florida dates as intimate, almost fan-club scale encores for an artist who just packed Hard Rock Stadium, signaling a deliberate pivot from mega spectacle to curated closeness that will matter in any long term biography of Shakira's “second act.”On stage this week, the Associated Press photo desk and regional outlets from SFGate to the Las Vegas Sun spotlighted Shakira's Montevideo, Uruguay concert in their “top photos of the week from Latin America and the Caribbean,” cementing her tour as one of the defining cultural images in the region's news cycle, alongside elections and major football victories. That repeated visual placement matters: it positions her less as a touring pop star and more as a recurring regional reference point.Offstage, the story everyone is watching is emotional rather than musical. Spanish outlet Vanitatis, echoed in Marca and Geo News, reports that after three years of near-total estrangement following their 2022 split, Shakira and Gerard Pique have resumed direct, cordial communication by phone and WhatsApp, handling co parenting logistics without intermediaries. In a new Argentine television interview, cited by Hola and regional portals, she even offers Pique an unexpected public compliment, calling him “very disciplined” and linking that trait to their children; this is a sharp tonal shift from the scorched earth of her Bizarrap hit and will likely be written as the beginning of a post breakup détente phase.Some tabloids are already spinning this new warmth into reconciliation rumors, but at this point those headlines are speculation. What is verified is more modest and more significant: Shakira is ending the year as both a stadium sovereign and a narrative strategist, tightening her professional orbit while softening her personal storyline, on her own timetable.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

Approaching 85 years old, guitarist Jorma Kaukonen talks about the early '60s onward — from the beginnings of Jefferson Airplane to his current solo career, including his new archival 2-LP live album, Wabash Avenue (out on Record Store Day Black Friday). Wabash Avenue is a special release, highlighting unheard songs at a solo acoustic performance in 1965 (before Kaukonen joined the Jefferson Airplane) at The Offstage, a folk club in San Jose, California. Guest host, longtime Goldmine contributor Lee Zimmerman, interviewed a vibrant Kaukonen about other subjects, too: Woodstock and Summer of Love memories, the essence of Hot Tuna (w/ former Jefferson Airplane member Jack Casady) and the guitar school of the Fur Peace Ranch, started by Kaukonen and his wife, Vanessa.

This time on Offstage ONscreen, hosts Todd Kramer and Robert Nelson dive into the legacy reboot of the classic franchise, The Naked Gun (2025). The film follows Lt. Frank Drebin Jr. (Liam Neeson) — son of the iconic Leslie Nielsen character — as he takes up the mantel of the original's absurdly competent‑yet‑clueless cop. He pairs with femme fatale Beth (Pamela Anderson) and a gag‑heavy ensemble (including Paul Walter Hauser and Danny Huston) in a brand‑new spoof‑saturated investigation of murder, mayhem and… a possible Halloween‑store forced‑conversion of the whole Police Squad. Todd and Robert raise the question: does this reboot honour the spirit of the original, or simply rely on nostalgia glitz and star power? With Neeson leaning into deadpan absurdity and the gags flying every few seconds, the tone is unmistakably nostalgic — but whether the film lands is left for debate. Will audiences laugh as hard as they hoped? Will this become the new benchmark of spoof comedies, or fall into the reboot‑trap of "funny in theory"? Tune in as Todd Kramer and Robert Nelson dissect performances, direction (Akiva Schaffer) and the very identity of what "The Naked Gun" means in 2025.

Pop can sparkle and still say something. That's the throughline as we sit down with recording artist Kayn Falcon, who blends Connecticut calm with New York urgency to craft synthwave-leaning pop that moves the body and nudges the mind. Kayn opens up about producing his songs from the beat up, guarding his creative sessions like sacred space, and trusting a small team of specialists to elevate his mixes and masters without diluting his vision. If you've ever wondered how minimal rooms and maximal ideas can coexist, this is a masterclass in focus.We dig into the art of writing upbeat tracks with hidden depth—why tempos over 100 BPM don't have to mean shallow, how “Automatic” disguises social commentary inside a danceable hook, and what it takes to balance immediacy with meaning. Kayn also shares how a long-lost freshman-year hard drive reshaped his path, proving that early instincts can carry surprising power years later. Along the way, he talks image and branding, why he embraces a bright falsetto that once drew criticism, and how owning what makes you different can become your defining edge.Looking ahead, Kayn sketches a bold live vision: dancers, story-driven staging, and projector visuals to keep the narrative front and center without breaking the budget. Offstage, he's navigating algorithms with playful “confessionals,” building real community one post at a time, and turning work ethic into momentum through multiple jobs and relentless craft. If you're curious about synthpop, DIY production, artist branding, and the grind behind meaningful music, you'll feel right at home here.Loved this conversation?

From Birmingham to the Rock Hall: the life, legacy, and love of Moody Blues bassist John Lodge.John Lodge (July 20, 1943 – October 10, 2025) was far more than the bass player for The Moody Blues — he was the gentle soul and musical anchor behind one of rock's most beloved bands. With his distinctive melodic bass, soaring harmonies, and thoughtful songwriting, Lodge helped turn The Moody Blues from a struggling R&B group into pioneers of symphonic and progressive rock.Born in Birmingham, John grew up surrounded by the post-war explosion of British music. He joined The Moody Blues in 1966, along with guitarist Justin Hayward, just as the band was ready to reinvent itself. Together they reshaped the group's direction, moving away from covers and pop singles toward the lush, conceptual sound that would define the late 1960s. Their first major success, Days of Future Passed (1967), blended rock with classical orchestration and produced the timeless hit “Nights in White Satin.” Lodge's basslines and harmonies underpinned that transformation — a sound that felt cinematic, emotional, and deeply human.Over the next five decades, John Lodge's touch could be felt across The Moody Blues' greatest works. He wrote and sang enduring tracks like “Ride My See-Saw,” “Isn't Life Strange,” and “I'm Just a Singer (In a Rock and Roll Band),” each one showcasing his knack for combining big ideas with irresistible hooks. While the band explored spirituality, time, and love through albums like In Search of the Lost Chord and A Question of Balance, Lodge kept their music grounded with rhythmic depth and melodic grace.As The Moody Blues evolved through the 1970s and 1980s, Lodge remained the band's creative backbone. His songwriting and stage presence were steady and sincere, and his partnership with Hayward became one of rock's most enduring collaborations. The group's music inspired generations, selling over 70 million albums and securing their place as one of the most influential acts in British rock history. In 2018, their induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame marked the culmination of that extraordinary journey — a moment Lodge often described as “the completion of a dream we started as kids.”Even after The Moody Blues stopped touring in 2018, John Lodge's creative fire never dimmed. He continued recording and performing with his “10,000 Light Years Band,” revisiting classic Moody Blues songs while writing new ones that carried his message of faith and hope. His solo projects included B Yond (2019), The Royal Affair and After (2021), and Days of Future Passed – My Sojourn (2023), a heartfelt reinterpretation of the Moody Blues' 1967 masterpiece. His final release, Love Conquers All (2025), and the moving single “Whispering Angels,” co-written with his son-in-law Jon Davison of Yes, captured Lodge's optimism and belief in love's enduring power.Offstage, John Lodge lived a grounded life. Married to his wife Kirsten since 1968, he was a devoted husband and father to their children, Emily and Kristian. His song “Emily's Song” remains one of his most tender creations, written as a gift for his daughter and cherished by fans for its emotional honesty. Lodge often credited his Christian faith with keeping him centered through the highs and lows of fame, and he spoke often about gratitude — for music, family, and the fans who shared the journey with him.John Lodge passed away on October 10, 2025, at age 82, surrounded by family and the sounds of The Everly Brothers and Buddy Holly — the artists who first inspired him. His passing marked the end of an era, but his spirit lives on in the music that continues to inspire listeners around the world.From Birmingham stages to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, John Lodge's story is one of faith, friendship, and timeless creativity. He reminded us that true artistry isn't about chasing fame — it's about touching hearts. And through every note he played, he did exactly that.

A coach who builds tougher teams with softer hands. A singer who swapped liquid courage for real conviction. A Hawaii-born artist designing a sound that can live anywhere. That mix is Mahina—grounded, generous, and ready for the world.We dive into her journey from playing shortstop and coaching high school softball to writing radio-ready songs that people can't stop singing. She explains how standards changed since her playing days and why positive discipline, respect, and real-life accountability help young athletes grow into strong people. Then we trace her creative arc—from recording vocals in a bathroom with GarageBand to building a collaboration-first workflow with manager Romeo Valientine and producer Mad Mat, shaping hooks that travel and verses that feel true. The origin of “Stay With Me,” her DM to Tehani, and the leap from backyard studios to polished mixes show how persistence and community can turn a good idea into a charting single.Faith and sobriety now sit at the center of her life. Mahina talks candidly about letting go of alcohol, shedding stage nerves, and trusting God to lead rather than bargaining for outcomes. That surrender changed her performances, clarified her choices, and fed her writing. The new single leans into betrayal and comes out brighter—pain reframed as fuel, a chorus that's easy to carry, and verses that move from crying in the shower to laughing in the mirror. Call it “Mahina World”: a blend of R&B, pop, and island reggae that nods to old-school soul while reaching for global playlists. Offstage, she draws on years as a caregiver, where listening, patience, and presence became second nature—and where empathy turned work into family.There's more on the way: a 10-track album slated for next year, singles rolling out ahead of release, dream collabs, and shows where she'll tease a few unreleased cuts. Until then, you'll find her coaching, writing in notebooks, posting more consistently, and remembering why she started—to make music people feel and to help her community shine. If this story moved you, follow and subscribe, share the episode with a friend who needs the lift, and leave a quick review so more listeners can discover Mahina's voice.

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for September 13, 2025 is: consummate • KAHN-suh-mut • adjective Someone or something described as consummate is very skilled or accomplished. Consummate can also mean “of the highest degree” and “complete in every detail.” The adjective is always used before the noun it describes. // Ever the consummate professional, the planner ensured that no one attending the event was aware of all the elements that had not gone as planned. See the entry > Examples: “... KEM's legacy serves as a blueprint for excellence. Offstage, his charm extends beyond the microphone. Friends and collaborators describe him as a consummate gentleman and leader with an infectious sense of humor.” — Raquelle Harris, Vibe, 25 July 2025 Did you know? Consummate is a consummate example of a word that's shifted in meaning over the centuries. A 15th century addition to the language ultimately from Latin consummare, meaning “to sum up, finish,” the word first described something that has been brought to completion. Shakespeare used the word this way in Measure for Measure: “Do you the office, friar; which consummate, Return him here again.” By the early 16th century consummate had taken on the meaning of “complete in every detail.” Today it usually describes someone or something extremely skilled and accomplished, but it can also describe that which is supremely excellent, as well as that which is simply extreme.

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

   The reaction from the same media that promoted Trump/Russia collusion for years is now suddenly saying there's nothing to see there and we shouldn't even be talking about it.  Incredible... but predictable.    Missouri Senator Josh Hawley is escorted off stage after terrorist supporting pro-Palestine protesters interrupt his speech.  If these people aren't citizens, they should be sent to Alligator Alcatraz immediately.    Ravens coach John Harbaugh flat out shrinks a reporter giving him a hard time for visiting Trump at the White House.  The Royals take two of three from the Cubs as Salvy makes more history.  Now a huge series with Cleveland looms.      NFL financials are revealed by the Green Bay Packers and let's just say business is good.  And NASCAR makes a huge announcement about joining forces with the Navy.  

NFL Indianapolis Colts Chaplain, Ken Johnson, has inspired the Colts players, coaches and staff for over 30 years. Ken has been called a thermostat, because when he enters a room, he cranks it up a notch. Ken has great experiences as an athlete, a Chaplain, a former police officer, a military veteran, a husband & father, among other things.While Ken has spoken for huge audiences and at thousands of events, he has learned over the years, that speaking from the stage has its limits. Ken has realized over time that if you want to truly and deeply impact a person's life that real and lasting impact is made off stage.Ken has wisely withdrawn from speaking to masses and has focused on going deeper instead of broader. He's learned you become isolated from performance based ministry. It's when you slow down, give your attention to one or the few that beautiful relationships are built with a smaller amount of people. And making impact relationships takes time and effort.Now Ken preaches the phrase "Dream Big. Start Small. Go Deep."Listen as Ken shares great stories and testimonies with Brett and about how so many hidden and unseen people are the ones who make the biggest impact for good.

In this profoundly moving episode, Diane shares how she turned her childhood trauma, learning challenges, and rejection by society into a purpose-driven life. Famous PEOPLE Players is her ever-burning flame of inclusion, artistry, and belief in human potential. From being discovered by Liberace—who invited the troupe to open for him in Las Vegas—to receiving support from Paul Newman, Senator Ted Kennedy, and even a standing ovation from Phil Collins, Diane's journey is one of sheer will and unstoppable passion. No funding? She finds a way. Border blocks? She calls the White House. Criticism? She answers with applause. But today, this company which has changed so many lives is fighting to keep its lights on. With no government funding, they rely solely on ticket sales, donations, and sponsorships. If this episode moves you—and it will—share it.
