The couple – who tied the knot in 2018 – announced they were expecting their first child together in an Instagram post in May. Justin and Hailey, 27, were seen posing for a maternity shoot, while they also renewed their vows in a clip.
Prior to giving birth, an insider exclusively told Life & Style that Hailey was worried about the drama that might take place in the delivery room amid her estrangement from parents Stephen Baldwin and Kennya Baldwin.
After she admitted she’s not close with her parents during a July interview with W Magazine, the source told Life & Style that her comment “led to some delivery room drama, especially in regards to who will be invited.” According to the insider, “she wants the birth to be smooth and peaceful, but Hailey is majorly stressing out at this point.”
Hailey “would’ve loved to have had her mother by her side at the hospital, but they’ve been having issues.” Meanwhile, she had worries that Stephen, 58, “would tag along and be in the waiting room posting updates to social media.”
Meanwhile, an additional source revealed that the couple was on the hunt for the perfect nanny before they welcomed their bundle of joy.
“They’re all in when it comes to stepping into their role as parents,” the insider explained, adding that Justin and Hailey were “trying to spend as much time together as they” could as they looked into childcare options. “He’s super picky and wants someone who’s spiritual, comes from a good background and is willing to sign a nondisclosure agreement,” the source continued.
While Justin and Hailey currently seem to be in a good place, the couple previously faced split rumors before they announced their pregnancy. However, a third insider exclusively told Life & Style that they overcame their rough patches before deciding to expand their family.
“Hailey didn’t want to bring a child into their world until things were more stable,” the source previously explained.

In light of Hailey’s concerns, Justin started to take their relationship more seriously. “He stopped pushing her and making her feel guilty, and that’s when things turned around,” the insider said, adding that they also leaned on their faith to work through their issues. “They sought the advice of their pastor and got some much-needed therapy.”
The pair was believed to be having “so much fun” during the pregnancy, and the “Baby” singer made sure “everything” revolved around his wife. “Justin’s finally getting the family he always wanted,” the source continued.
While another source said that Hailey and Justin “had their issues” before announcing their pregnancy,” they insisted that the couple was “really excited to welcome a baby into this world.”
“They see this new chapter as a chance to put the past behind them,” the insider shared. “They’re also talking very seriously about moving somewhere to raise their little one in peace, away from the craziness of L.A.”
Two months after Justin Timberlake’s DWI arrest, a source exclusively tells Life & Style Jessica Biel is laying down the law.
“She has a list of rules” for the 43-year-old, says the source, adding, “The incident put a huge strain on the marriage.”
The pop star’s much-hyped Hamptons arrest threw an unwanted spotlight onto Jessica, 42, who was busy filming her new show, The Better Sister.
As a result, says the source, “Jessica wants Justin’s assurances that he’ll be more supportive of her work — even if that means staying home with the kids [Silas, 9, and Phineas, 4] while she’s on a shoot.
She’s pushing to work more and counting on Justin to pick up the slack.”
The source adds that Jessica is also asking the pop star “for more help around the house and more regular date nights.
She’s been pushed to her limits by his immaturity.”

In a groundbreaking shift for daytime television, ABC has announced that conservative
commentator Candace Owens will helm a new morning show, set to replace the long-running
and often controversial “The View.” The network has reportedly signed Owens to a $25 million
deal, signaling a significant change in its programming strategy.
ABC’s decision to bring Candace Owens into the fold is part of a broader effort to diversify its
programming and appeal to a wider audience. The new show, tentatively titled “Candace & Co.,”
is expected to feature a mix of news, interviews, and discussions on current events from a
distinctly conservative perspective. This marks a departure from the more liberal-leaning “The
View,” which has been a staple of ABC’s daytime lineup for over two decades.
Emily Watts, ABCs head of programming, expressed her enthusiasm for the new direction in a
recent statement: “Candace Owens brings a fresh and dynamic voice to daytime television. Her
ability to engage in thought-provoking discussions and address critical issues makes her the
perfect choice for our new morning show. We believe ‘Candace & Co.’ will offer viewers a unique
perspective that has been missing from our current lineup.”
Candace Owens, known for her outspoken conservative views and willingness to tackle
controversial topics, is eager to take on this new challenge. In a statement, she shared her
excitement: “l am thrilled to be joining ABC for this new venture. ‘Candace & Co.’ will be a
platform where we can have open and honest conversations about the issues that matter most
to Americans. I’m looking forward to bringing a fresh perspective to daytime TV and engaging
with viewers across the country.”
Owens also hinted at the show’s content, promising a mix of lively debates, diverse viewpoints,
and no-holds-barred discussions on everything from politics and culture to lifestyle and
entertainment. “We want to create a space where all voices can be heard, and where viewers feel
they are part of the conversation,” she said.
“The View,” known for its panel of outspoken hosts and often heated debates, has been a fixture
of ABC’s daytime lineup since its debut in 1997. Over the years, the show has become known for
its lively discussions on politics, CUIture, and social issues, often sparking controversy and
drawing strong reactions from viewers.
Despite its popularity, “The View” has also faced criticism for its perceived liberal bias and
frequent on-air clashes between hosts. The decision to replace the show with “Candace & Co.”
marks a significant shift for ABC, reflecting the network’s desire to offer a more balanced range
of ers ectives.
The announcement of Candace Owens’ new show has elicited a wide range of reactions from
the entertainment industry and the public. Supporters of Owens have praised ABC for taking a
bold step and providing a platform for conservative voices in daytime television. Critics,
however, have expressed concerns about the shift in tone and content, fearing it may alienate
some of the network’s traditional viewers.
Media analyst Robert Thompson commented on the move, saying, “ABC’s decision to sign
Candace Owens is a clear indication of the network’s desire to diversify its programming and
appeal to a broader audience. While it is a risky move, it COUId pay off if ‘Candace & Co.’
manages to capture the interest of viewers who feel underserved by current daytime television
options.”
Social media platforms have been buzzing with opinions from both sides of the political
spectrum. Supporters of Owens have expressed excitement about the new show and its
potential to bring fresh perspectives to daytime TV. Detractors, on the other hand, have voiced
their concerns about the impact of Owens’ controversial views on the content and tone of the
A tweet from a prominent conservative commentator read, “Thrilled to see Candace Owens
getting her own show on ABC! It’s about time we had more diverse voices in daytime TV. Can’t
wait to watch ‘Candace & Co.’!” Meanwhile, a liberal activist tweeted, “Disappointed in ABC’s
decision to replace ‘The View’ with a show hosted by someone as divisive as Candace Owens.
This is a step backward for inclusive and balanced programming.”
The success of “Candace & Co.” will largely depend on its ability to engage viewers and foster
meaningful conversations. If Owens can navigate the complexities of hosting a daytime talk
show and balance her conservative views with inclusive discussions, the show has the potential
to become a major hit for ABC.
Industry insiders are closely watching the development of the show, as its performance could
influence future programming decisions across other networks. The rise of polarizing figures in
media reflects a broader trend of audiences seeking content that aligns with their beliefs and
values. “Candace & Co.” could be the beginning of a new era in daytime television, where
diverse viewpoints are notjust tolerated but embraced and celebrated.
ABC’s decision to sign Candace Owens for a new $25 million morning show marks a significant
shift in the network’s programming strategy. As “Candace & Co.” prepares to replace “The
View,” the television landscape is poised for a major shake-up. Whether the show will succeed in
capturing the hearts and minds of viewers remains to be seen, but one thing is certain: daytime
TV is about to get a lot more interesting.
Rosie O’Donnell, Ana Navarro blast ‘heartless’ Ann Coulter for mocking Tim Walz’s son, who has learning disorder, for crying at DNC
“You have to be a special kind of heart-less mutant to attack a 17 year-old special needs kid,” Navarro posted on Instagram.
Rosie O’Donnell and Ana Navarro — two prominent members of The View‘s historical sisterhood — shared passionate criticism for conservative figures Ann Coulter and Mike Crispi after both commentators mocked the 17-year-old son of VP candidate Tim Walz for crying tears of joy over his father’s speech at Wednesday night’s Democratic National Convention.
Gus Walz, who has a non-verbal learning disorder, made headlines for his emotional reaction to seeing his father speak on stage in Chicago as part of the DNC’s third night of events, with longtime controversial pundit Coulter sharing (and later removing) an X post —which was viewed by several news outlets before its deletion — in which she called the teen “weird.”
“Jesus. What ass-wipes. Of course Republicans and Trumpers on social media taking shots at Gus Walz. You have to be a special kind of heart-less mutant to attack a 17 year-old special needs kid -not involved in politics- for the simple act of expressing love for his father,” Navarro shared on Instagram, with a screen shot of Coulter’s earlier post — which O’Donnell also shared to her Instagram feed with a caption that read: “talk about a cruel heartless woman – shes the worst.”

Navarro added, “children and teens like Gus can have trouble regulating their emotions in social settings,” referencing the Minnesota politician and his wife Gwen’s earlier revelation to PEOPLE that Gus was diagnosed with a non-verbal learning disorder, ADHD, and anxiety.
“I don’t and won’t attack [Donald Trump’s son] Barron Trump. As far as I’m concerned, he’s out-of-bounds. They need to leave Gus Walz the f— alone,” Navarro continued.
Another former View cohost, Star Jones also posted, writing, “There is a special place in Hell for adults who bully Children. God does not like ugly … and he ain’t [too] fond of vile and disgusting women who use their vast platform to vilify the vulnerable. #DoBetter.” She stamped the post with her signature and added the caption, “I said what I said!”
O’Donnell replied to Jones’ post, “cruel coulter – pure evil.”
On X, Crispi — whose bio on the platform states that he’s a Trump delegate and a board member of the Italian American Civil Rights League — also went after Gus, as well as the family of Vice President and Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris and her husband, Doug Emhoff.
“THIS is how you receive public praise from your father,” Crispi shared alongside a video of Barron Trump, 18, waving to a crowd. “Very demure. Barron Trump is the future. Tim Walz’s children are nobody’s going nowhere.”
Entertainment Weekly has reached out to representatives for Walz, Coulter, and Crispi for comment.
In the PEOPLE story, Tim and Gwen elaborated on their son’s life, and said that his conditions made him a unique — but no less loved — member of their family.
“Like so many American families, it took us time to figure out how to make sure we did everything we could to make sure Gus would be set up for success as he was growing up,” the couple said in a statement to the outlet. “It took time, but what became so immediately clear to us was that Gus’ condition is not a setback — it’s his secret power.”
Elsewhere at the DNC, Kerry Washington, Navarro, and Mindy Kaling presided as hosts over the first three nights of the proceedings, while celebrities like Oprah Winfrey, Pink, and Lil Jon — as well as political icons like Barack Obama and Michelle Obama — all spoke on stage in support of Harris.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Justin Bieber, who rose to international stardom in 2010 with his hit “Baby,” has welcomed one of his own with his wife, Hailey Bieber (nee Baldwin).
The singer, 30, posted a photo of a baby’s foot Friday on Instagram, revealing the child’s name as Jack Blues Bieber. The model, 27, reshared the post on Instagram Stories. It’s not clear when the baby was born; a representative for Hailey Bieber told The Associated Press on Friday night that no further details were available.
The couple announced they were expecting a baby in May via Instagram posts on their respective pages from an intimate vow renewal ceremony. The videos and photos show the model, who also founded the skincare brand Rhode, wearing a form-fitting white dress that showed off her baby bump. The AP confirmed Bieber was just over six months pregnant at the time of the announcement.

Since the pregnancy announcement, the couple have each shared photos together and of Hailey Bieber that displayed the model’s baby bump, including a campaign for the Rhode skincare line.
The Biebers married in November 2018, which they also announced through an Instagram post. The singer posted a photo of the duo with the caption, “My wife is awesome,” and his wife followed up by changing her Instagram username to “Hailey Bieber.” The couple dated for about a month before tying the knot.
Justin Bieber rose to fame as a teenager and went on to become a Grammy-winning artist with eight No. 1 songs under his belt, including “Sorry,” “Love Yourself” and “What Do You Mean?” His latest album, “Justice,” was released in 2021.
The UK Streaming Charts get a dose of Deadpool.
Deadpool & Wolverine continues to propel *NSYNC’s “Bye, Bye, Bye” to new heights. This week’s UK Official Streaming Chart sees the 90s classic clocking in at #12. This is a wild ascent for a song that predates this particular chart’s existence by a few decades! Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman’s MCU romp continues to bring in returns at the box office. But, these kinds of streaming numbers mean they have kept the Y2K wave rolling in popular culture as well. (Madonna’s “Like A Prayer” has also enjoyed the buoying effect of the movie too.) While maybe not every single video on the world’s FYP is of Deadpool doing this iconic dance, there are still a lot of them out there.
Going through some quick numbers helps put this achievement into context. On the U.S. Exclusive Chart, “Bye, Bye, Bye” made it all the way to number 8. Over on the Billboard Hot 100, *NSYNC’s old single ended up at number 45 just a little while ago. (There was never any doubt that it would come close to hitting number 4, the previous high water mark for the song back when it was released.) Still, that 800% increase in sales since Deadpool & Wolverine hit theaters is nothing to scoff at. We’re looking at a genuine monoculture moment around the MCU after people had argued that time had passed this franchise by.
In the first week after release, Deadpool & Wolverine managed to get “Bye, Bye, Bye” into the Spotify Top 20. Shawn Levy himself had to laugh about the development on social media after discovering that kind of sway. It’s been 24 years since *NSYNC decided to light up our lives with a very “of the time”music video for the single. Who would have thought the summer of 2024 would have been a resurgence on this scale?

In a surprising turn of events, Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid has made headlines for his curt response to the ongoing $10 million controversy involving star player Travis Kelce. Reid’s reaction, a terse “Not My Problem,” has sparked significant buzz within the NFL community and beyond.
The controversy revolves around a reported $10 million financial dispute linked to Kelce, whose recent contract negotiations and endorsement deals have been under intense scrutiny. Sources indicate that the issue concerns a significant discrepancy related to Kelce’s compensation, either from a contractual obligation or a financial arrangement connected to his high-profile endorsements.
Reid’s reaction came during a press conference when asked about the situation. Rather than addressing the specifics or engaging in a detailed explanation, Reid’s response was blunt and dismissive. “Not My Problem,” he said, a statement that has since been interpreted as a sign of his frustration with the ongoing media circus surrounding the issue.
The terse comment has fueled speculation and debate about Reid’s stance on the matter. Some analysts suggest that Reid’s response indicates a desire to distance himself from the controversy and avoid getting entangled in financial disputes involving his players. Others interpret it as a sign of Reid’s frustration with how the situation is being handled by the league and the media.
The incident has added a layer of drama to an already charged atmosphere, with fans and commentators weighing in on Reid’s unconventional approach to dealing with such controversies. As the situation develops, all eyes will be on how both Reid and Kelce navigate the fallout from this unexpected outburst and how it might impact their standing within the NFL.

Chicago Sky rookie Angel Reese has seemingly confirmed a relationship with an NBA player amid recent speculation.
The former LSU star is thought to be dating Detroit Pistons center Jalen Duren, having sparked rumors after posting a photo from a location that appeared to be the same one he posted from late last month.
“On Tuesday, Duren, 20, posted a video of the sunset from an unknown location on his Instagram Stories,” Page Six noted. “The background for the clip appeared to be similar to where Reese, 22, had posted a picture on her Instagram Stories of her laying out in a pink Gucci monokini and pink Chanel shades the day before.”
The WNBA Rookie of the Year contender seemed to tease a relationship with Duren in a video this week as she wore a Pistons sweater while singing along to music about being held down.

“Jalen Duren turning into Prime Shaq this year,” wrote a third.
“Jalen Duren is locked in,” a fourth claimed.
“no wonder the pistons cant win a game,” another comment read.

“Plot twist its for Tobias Harris,” another joked.
Angel Reese also fueled speculation after commenting, “we love our J’s” on a post from her good friend Kysre Gondrezick. The latter is in a relationship with Boston Celtics star Jaylen Brown.
Meanwhile, the rookie has signed a major endorsement deal, entering a partnership with Reese’s Pieces this week for a merchandise launch.
