Justin Bieber BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Justin Bieber has had an intense and revealing past week, making headlines with both deeply personal revelations and ongoing speculation about his music and business activities. According to Good Morning America, Bieber posted an emotional and candid Instagram message on June 16th, addressing his ongoing struggles with anger issues and describing himself as feeling "broken." He wrote, "People keep telling me to heal. Don't you think if I could have fixed myself I would have already?" Bieber went on to explain how his anger is a response to past trauma, stating, "My anger is a response to the pain I have been thru. Asking a traumatized person not to be traumatized is simply mean." In a separate post, he shared direct messages with an unidentified contact, ending the friendship after being accused of lashing out, and insisting that expressing anger is part of authentic relationships, not something to suppress. These posts have sparked a wave of support and concern among fans.On the lighter side, Justin has simultaneously shared glimpses of his family life, posting several photos with his son Jack Blues, whom he shares with wife Hailey Bieber. Celebrating milestones like Hailey's first Mother's Day, Bieber's social media has mixed vulnerability with moments of joy and pride in his new role as a father. Access Hollywood reports that despite his recent emotional confessions, Bieber has also been active in defending himself publicly. Just last week, he was caught on camera in a viral 11-minute confrontation with a paparazzo, where he passionately demanded respect, emphasizing that his anger is a reaction to being disrespected, not a sign of malice.There is ongoing speculation about a major comeback. Hypebeast and Puck News have both reported that Bieber is planning a return to music in 2025, possibly motivated by both creative desire and financial necessity after debts from a cancelled tour. Although his representatives have not confirmed a new album or tour, Rebel Music suggests preparations are underway for a global tour aligned with an upcoming album, which would be his first full project since 2021's Justice. On the business front, Bieber has parted ways with his long-time manager Scooter Braun, indicating a significant transformation in his professional circle, a move confirmed by multiple sources.On social media, Bieber's posts have trended for their candidness, including confessions about conflicts with Hailey—specifically noting past arguments about her career—and his critiques of transactional relationships. His candid admissions, ongoing family updates, and hints at a musical return continue to fuel speculation about his next chapter, underscoring a period of genuine transformation, vulnerability, and perhaps, reinvention for the pop star.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOta

President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy traded public barbs on Wednesday, one day after top White House and Russian officials met in Saudi Arabia to discuss ways to end the war in Ukraine. Zelenskyy said Trump is living in a 'web of disinformation,' while Trump falsely accused Zelenskyy of being a 'dictator without elections.' With the three-year anniversary of Russia's invasion of its neighbor coming up next week, the Trump administration's decision to sideline Ukraine and Europe in favor of direct talks with Russia underscores the ways the president is throwing traditional U.S. alliances out the window.

President-elect Donald Trump made good on his promise late Monday to sue The Des Moines Register, the newspaper's former pollster, Ann Selzer, and the paper's parent company, Gannett.

You're Listening to Parallax Views https://parallaxviews.podbean.com/ Support the Show on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/parallaxviews Recorded: 11-14-24 On this edition of Parallax Views, Tina Nguyen, author of The MAGA Diaries: My Surreal Adventures Inside the Right-Wing (And How I Got Out) and the resident "MAGA Whisperer" at Puck News, joins the show to discuss elements of her book, specifically the MAGA media ecosystem (ie: Tucker Carlson, amongst others), as well as the think tank she believes deserve more attention than Project 2025: the America First Policy Institute. Given that Linda McMahon, a key player at AFPI, is heading up the Trump transition team I reached out to Tina to discuss her thoughts on AFPI and how it fits into Trump's plans for his 2nd term. Tina argues that the Heritage Foundation, which drafted Project 2025, is an older institution than Trumpism with a conservative agenda that has been around for decades prior to Trumpism. AFPI, on the other hand, is a new institution and one that is grounded less in a decades-spanning conservative agenda and more in loyalty or fealty to President-elect Donald J. Trump himself. She says that while Heritage Foundation/Project 2025 figures will have a role in the Trump administration, it will be loyalists from AFPI that will be doing the management of much of the administration on behalf of Trump. All of this analysis is based on Nguyen's own contact with the MAGA world. We discuss all that and much more in the conversation on this edition of Parallax Views!

As some Senate Republicans recoil at some of Donald Trump's more extreme picks to serve in his administration, Trump is turning up the pressure on anyone who would dare defy him. Eric Cortellessa, staff writer for Time, and Tara Palmeri, senior political correspondent for Puck News, discuss.

This week, Donald Trump won every swing state and is on track to be sworn in as the 47th President of the United States. Joining us to discuss is Rep. Katie Porter, Peter Hamby of PUCK News, and KFI AM 640's John Kobylt. 

A reporter for Puck News that has been dubbed the "MAGA Whisperer" for her ability to get scoops from Trump insiders says that multiple sources close to Trump have told her that he isn't going to be using Project 2025's blueprint when he takes office. The bad news is that he's going to use something much worse created by a think tank associated with him, the America First Policy Institute. There aren't many differences between the two blueprints, but there are enough to make it more dangerous.Right wing lawyer Mike Davis has been floated as a possible pick for Attorney General in the forthcoming Trump administration, and judging by his reaction to Trump's victory, that could mean open season on Democrats. David posted on social media that he wants to see "dead political bodies" being dragged "through the streets" now that Trump has won, though he clarified that he just means "legally, politically, and financially." This type of violent rhetoric can get people killed.Trump ally Steve Bannon is more excited than anyone about Donald Trump winning the election, and he is letting his glee show by outlining which government departments Trump is going to get rid of once he gets in office. Bannon said that the Justice Department is going to be cleaned out and the FBI is going away, which, obviously, would be a huge boon to criminals all over the country (like Bannon himself.)An irate Marjorie Taylor Greene is not happy about the people that Donald Trump is going to be putting in her cabinet, and she insisted during an interview this week that SHE deserves a position more than anyone else. She even went as far as to call out his new allies because they (RFK, Jr. and Vivek Ramaswamy) actually ran AGAINST him this past year, so they can't be trusted. Trouble is brewing, and it's going to be hilarious to watch. Subscribe to our YouTube channel to stay up to date on all of Farron's content: https://www.youtube.com/FarronBalancedFollow Farron on social media!Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/FarronBalancedTwitter: https://twitter.com/farronbalancedInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/farronbalancedTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@farronbalanced?lang=enText and and let us know your thoughts on today's stories!

Next on "The Issue Is," the final episode before Election Day with Puck News' Peter Hamby and Politico's Melanie Mason.

The pundit class thought JD Vance performed better than Tim Walz in the vice presidential debate. Voters thought Vance was a good performer, but they couldn't quite shake their skepticism. Puck News's John Heilemann joins Sarah to review voters' reactions to the VP debate and the history of VP picks more broadly.

President Biden continued to aggressively push back on the idea that he would drop out of the presidential race. He started Monday morning by sending a letter to all Congressional Democrats that said he is “firmly committed to staying in this race,” and that it was time for speculation about it to end. He followed that up by calling into MSNBC's “Morning Joe,” where he blamed the party's “elites” for trying to push him out of the race. Tara Palmeri, senior political correspondent for Puck News and the host of the election podcast “Somebody's Gotta Win,” breaks down the mood on Capitol Hill as lawmakers returned from the long holiday weekend.The Paris Olympics are just a couple of weeks away. One of the people competing for Team U.S.A. is runner Nikki Hiltz, who is trans and nonbinary. Hiltz will be one of a few openly trans people at the games during a socio-political moment where trans people — trans women especially — are banned from participating on sports teams that align with their identities. CeCé Telfer, the first openly transgender person to win an NCAA track and field title, has also been trying to get to the Olympics but is barred from doing so. She shares her story.And in headlines: Republicans proposed a party platform with a softer abortion stance ahead of next week's Republican National Convention, Hurricane Beryl led to at least three deaths in Texas, and Boeing agreed to plead guilty to conspiring to defraud the federal government.Show Notes:What A Day – YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@whatadaypodcastFollow us on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/crookedmedia/For a transcript of this episode, please visit crooked.com/whataday

SERIES 2 EPISODE 206: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:44) SPECIAL COMMENT: “I wasn't very smart. I decided to travel around the world shortly before the debate,” the President has now said at a fundraiser in Virginia. He then described his arduous travel through 15 Time Zone changes for the G7 and D-Day, and how it affected him at the debate: “I didn't listen to my staff and then I came home and nearly fell asleep on stage.” The debate was June 27. He returned from his travels on June SIXTEENTH. This followed by only a few hours a suggestion from Nancy Pelosi that Biden (and Trump) takes an acuity test: "Both candidates owe whatever test you want to put them to, in terms of their mental acuity and their health — both of them. I think it's a legitimate question to say, is this an episode or is this a condition? When people ask that question, it's completely legitimate — of both candidates." Pelosi thinks Biden has an episode? Or a condition?  If there were anything Pelosi could have said that would do LESS to contain all of this, I am hard pressed to guess what it could have been. And there are disastrous new internal polling numbers leaked from Democratic pollsters OpenLabs to Puck News. Since the debate, New Hampshire has now become Trump by three, Virginia is Trump by one and a half; that the president now has leads of half a point or less in New Mexico, Maine, and Minnesota; that Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Nevada, Arizona, George, North Carolina and the Nebraska Second are all Trump by four or more and it's seven in Michigan and Pennsylvania. Biden's support dropped by roughly two percentage points in all twelve of these states and in Colorado and Minnesota. If he cannot recover all of this, the Democrats are looking at a loss of at least 100 electoral votes. The profound moments of American political history – secession, Watergate, Teapot Dome, the retirement of Lyndon Johnson, all the rest – share one commonality. These stories have each taken on a momentum of their own; they have each reached a tipping point when – whether quickly or imperceptibly – the other option began to disappear. The momentum in the Biden Re-Election story changed yesterday. And the tipping point may have been reached. The good news could be that suddenly the only candidate with the age problem, would be Trump. The only candidate with the uncertain grip on reality, would be Trump. The only candidate to be called feeble or gaffe-prone or lost, would be Trump. And if Biden really were convinced to retire from the ticket and the office in order to send Kamala Harris into the campaign with the incumbency, she would be the first woman president of the United States asking the voters to validate her with a full term of office – and doing so when a primary plank of the Democratic campaign is the Republicans' assault on the rights of every woman in this country.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

SERIES 2 EPISODE 198: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:44) SPECIAL COMMENT: The New York Times' sourced story - that a year ago first a senior federal judge in Florida phoned Judge Aileen Cannon and urged her to hand off the Trump Espionage/Stolen Classified Documents case to some other judge, and when Cannon ignored the idea, the CHIEF federal judge in Florida phoned Cannon and warned her that the optics of ruling on the president who appointed her with disastrous - is not just a great bit of reporting. It's a clear shot across the bow of Cannon. It's an indicator that this is her last chance to voluntarily recuse from a case she has so mishandled that even when both Trump and Jack Smith said they were ready to start the trial, SHE refused. I think it's a legitimate inference that if she again ignores it, a real move will be made against her (maybe even against her fitness to continue as a judge). The chief judge who issued the warning was appointed by Governor Bush and then President Bush and to me it's clear this was a planned leak. Let's hope it works. MEANWHILE IT'S TIME FOR RFK JUNIOR TO DROP OUT. The nephew of a martyred President and son of a man who easily could've won the office has now threatened to jail Dana Bash and Jake Tapper of CNN - and the whole network management and production staff - because the network has excluded him from the debate next week. Kennedy's farcical, dangerous, insane Trump stalking horse campaign has to end. He isn't a victim and he isn't being persecuted. He's nuts. AND DONALD SUTHERLAND HAS DIED. This spectacularly talented man was, I am proud to say, my friend. He appointed himself my "acting father" after my Dad died. He was supportive, insightful, hilarious, and I think I can tell you something you may not know about him: he was as good a writer as I've ever read. I will read you one of the dozens of emails he sent me. I will restrain myself and chose one about baseball, not one about...Jane Fonda. B-Block (27:55) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: What if a Tucker Carlson fell over in Australia and nobody was there to hear it? His speaking tour? Plenty of good seats available. Jeff Bezos still won't do the obvious: Will Lewis has to be fired before he crashes The Washington Post. And Dylan Byers trots out words like "hero" and "great" for my late friend Howard Fineman. 14 months ago he gratuitously and painfully insulted him in a story that gad nothing to do with Howard just because he felt like taking a shot at somebody. Byers, a management-jock-sniffing jackass, might meet the same fate 30 years from now - except nobody will remember his work. C-Block (40:02) FRIDAYS WITH THURBER: One of the existential premises of his work was: everything in the world could be reduced to a husband and wife arguing over the dumbest of things. This week he has her insisting that he is murdering her wrong in "Mr. Preble Gets Rid Of His Wife."See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
