Justin Bieber was spotted in Hollywood on Sunday night without his pregnant wife Hailey Bieber.

The 30-year-old Sorry hitmaker — who is expecting his first child with the supermodel — enjoyed a dinner at the popular Beverly Hills restaurant Funke, leaving with a pizza box in hand.

Wearing an unbuttoned white shirt that highlighted his tattooed chest, Bieber completed his look with a camel jacket and black pants.

He kept a low profile with a baseball cap and dark designer sunglasses as he headed to his black SUV.

The outing followed a viral incident where Justin was filmed yelling at a group of kids in a hotel lobby for ‘following him.’

The 30-year-old Sorry hitmaker — who is expecting his first child with the supermodel — enjoyed a dinner at the popular Beverly Hills restaurant Funke, leaving with a pizza box in hand

Last week, a video surfaced showing him shouting at teenagers in public.

The superstar, looking nearly unrecognizable in scruffy attire, confronts the group of youngsters in the lobby of West Hollywood’s Waldorf Astoria during the 12-second TikTok.

He is seen angrily questioning the teens about what they find ‘so funny,’ while gesturing for them to move away and hotel staff can be seen ushering them towards the exit.

The Sorry hitmaker continues to scold them, adding ‘Get of out here.’

Sources told TMZ that Justin was meeting his pregnant wife Hailey Bieber at the hotel when the pack of 8 kids, who were attending a bar mitzvah, began ‘following him around and yelling at him.’

Justin, initially asking the teens to back off politely due to his limited security, grew frustrated when they continued to film him, per the insiders.

The outlet reported the star was ‘just worried about his wife’s safety.’

Justin and Hailey are eagerly awaiting the birth of their first child in the next few weeks.

As Bieber prepares to enter a new chapter in his life as a first-time dad, he has not  shied away from showing his emotional side.

In April, before Hailey went public with her pregnancy, Bieber posted a number of selfies of him in tears, which sparked concern among his fans.

A month later, Hailey and Justin shared the exciting news with their fans by posting photos of her cradling her baby bump during a surprise vow renewal in Hawaii.

The couple have been married since September 2018.

Justin and Hailey were first introduced in 2009 by Hailey’s father Stephen Baldwin at the premiere of Justin’s documentary Never Say Never.

The pair then had a brief fling in 2016 amid a break in his on/off decade-long romance with Selena Gomez.

When he and the Disney Channel alum, 31, finally called it quits for good in May 2018, Justin fell into Hailey’s arms and they’ve been attached at the hip since.

The pair have spoken candidly about their relationship over the years — including their ‘really tough’ first year of marriage.

Sources told TMZ that Justin was meeting his pregnant wife Hailey Bieber (pictured) at the hotel when the pack of 8 kids, who were attending a bar mitzvah, began ‘following him around and yelling at him’

Speaking to GQ in 2021, Justin revealed that his and Hailey’s initial difficulties stemmed from ‘trauma’ and ‘just lack of trust.’

‘There was all these things that you don’t want to admit to the person that you’re with, because it’s scary. You don’t want to scare them off by saying, ‘I’m scared,” he explained.

The Sorry hitmaker admitted during the first year of marriage he was ‘on eggshells’ but now he’s never felt more stable.

Is Justin ready to be a dad?

No- he needs to grow up first

Yes- he will shape up when it’s time

The couple previously expressed their mutual desire for children but in 2023 Hailey expressed concerns about raising a family in the spotlight.

‘I want kids so bad but I get scared. It’s enough that people say things about my husband or my friends,’ she told the Sunday Times last year.

‘I can’t imagine having to confront people saying things about a child. We can only do the best we can to raise them. As long as they feel loved and safe.’

Last year the Rhode skincare founder dished that she and Justin would like to try for a family ‘in the next couple of years.’

You don’t know how long that process [of getting pregnant] is every going to take. Definitely no kids this year, that would be a little hectic, I think,’ Hailey told WSJ.

‘There’s this thing that happens for women when you get married. Everybody assumes it’s: ‘First comes love, then comes marriage, then comes the baby,’ the wife of Justin Bieber explained.

‘Well, what about the things I want to accomplish in my business? I think I had it ingrained in my head that I was going to want to have kids right away and I was going to have kids super, super young. Then I turned 25 and I’m like, I’m still super, super young!’

While they frequented similar social circles after their first meeting in 2009, it was not until 2015 that it was clear they were more than friends.

Justin was in a on-off and highly-publicized romance with Selena Gomez from 2011 until 2014 before reuniting for a short while in 2017. They split for good in 2018.

Hailey and Justin rang in 2016 together with a vacation to Anguilla, where Justin posted a photo of them sharing a kiss.

Around this time, the couple acknowledged they were seeing each other, without being in an exclusive relationship.

‘We are not an exclusive couple,’ Hailey told E! at the time.

Justin also admitted Hailey was someone he ‘really’ loved, but that he was not quite ready to devote himself to a relationship.

‘What if Hailey ends up being the girl I’m gonna marry, right? If I rush into anything, if I damage her, then it’s always gonna be damaged,’ he told GQ.

This saw Justin briefly move on from Hailey to have a short relationship with Sofia Richie.

Justin and Hailey then started dating one another in 2018 – and the lovebirds were often pictured packing on the PDA for all to see throughout New York City.

Just over a month after reigniting their romance, the couple were engaged.

Justin proposed to Hailey during a romantic getaway to the Bahamas with a massive diamond ring.

‘My heart is COMPLETELY and FULLY YOURS,’ gushed the pop star in a romantic social media gesture to confirm the news.

The niece of Alec Baldwin received a large, oval-shaped diamond engagement ring from Justin when they were on holiday in the Bahamas to mark the occasion.

Justin married Hailey at a courthouse in New York City in September 2018.

The couple exchanged vows on the same day they obtained their marriage licence at the courthouse on September 13, TMZ claimed at the time.

The couple tied the knot again in front of friends and family at the luxury Montage Palmetto Bluffs resort in South Carolina on September 30, 2019.

The Biebers marked their fifth wedding anniversary last September with Instagram tributes to one another, with Hailey writing a short but poignant messaging, posting: ‘5. I love you.’

Justin left a longer message in homage to his partner, penning: ‘To the most precious, my beloved. 5 years. You have captivated my heart. I know from the depths of my soul down to my bones that this journey with you will only exceed our wildest expectations. So let’s keep dreaming big baby. Cheers to forever and ever. I love you with every fibre of my being. HAPPY 5TH YEAR ANNIVERSARY!!!’

Backstreet’s back, but so is *NSYNC.

 

The boy band’s 2000 smash hit “Bye Bye Bye” returned to Billboard’s Hot 100 this week at No. 45.

Video above: *NSYNC returns to the music charts and other entertainment headlines

It’s all thanks to its placement in the box office hit, “Deadpool and Wolverine,” which just marked its third straight week as the top movie in North American theaters with an estimated $54.2 million in ticket sales.

Worldwide, the movie has now surpassed $1 billion at the box office.

According to Billboard, the song has gotten 10 million official streams in the U.S. from Aug. 2-8, which is a jump of 31%.

Outside the U.S., the song got 42.4 million streams (up 50%) and went to No. 8 from No. 16 on the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. chart.

The opening sequence of the film shows Deadpool, played by Ryan Reynolds, dancing to “Bye Bye Bye” while fighting off Time Variance Authority guards.

“He’s doing a lot of the moves that have been established previously by *NSYNC,” Reynolds said in an interview about the dance scene.

Four members of *NSYNC — JC Chasez, Lance Bass, Chris Kirkpatrick and Joey Fatone — attended the film’s premiere and gave a shoutout to fellow member Justin Timberlake, who was performing on his ongoing tour in Europe.

Although it’s been 24 years since *NSYNC released “Bye Bye Bye” and its “No Strings Attached” album, this isn’t the oldest song to return to Billboard’s Hot 100.

Kate Bush’s “Running Up That Hill — A Deal With God” charted in 2022, 37 years after its initial release, a comeback attributed to a memorable scene in “Stranger Things.”

And, in December 2023, Brenda Lee’s “Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree” topped the Billboard Hot 100, 65 years after its release.

*NSYNC reunited most recently to record “Paradise,” a song featured on Timberlake’s latest album, “Everything I Thought It Was,” which was released in March.

Last fall, the band also released “Better Place” for the “Trolls: Band Together” soundtrack — its first new song in more than 20 years.

Taylor Swift has reportedly invited the families of the victims of the Southport stabbings to her final Eras Tour show at Wembley on Tuesday night.

It comes after the Cruel Summer songstress, 34, met two young girls at one recent London gig who were injured in the knife rampage.

Bebe King, six, Alice da Silva Aguiar, nine, and Elsie Dot Stancombe, seven, were killed whilst at a Swift-themed dance class on July 29, while 10 others were also injured.

Axel Rudakubana, 18, was charged with three counts of murder and 10 counts of attempted murder.

Swift reportedly reached out to the families of the Southport stabbings before she took to the stage at Wembley on Thursday with the gig said to be ‘the hardest concert of her career’ after the killings.

And now GB News reports that the families have been invited to tonight’s concert where they will meet Taylor.

They will also be meeting King Charles at Buckingham Palace in London tomorrow.

A representative for Taylor has been contacted by MailOnline for comment.

King Charles visited the deeply-impacted community on Tuesday to offer his support and condolences.

It comes after Taylor met two young girls at her last gig who were injured in the Southport knife rampage.

The Shake It Off singer invited the two young girls backstage and posed for photos before one of her record breaking shows over the weekend.

She reportedly reached out to the families of the Southport stabbing before she took to the stage at Wembley on Thursday with the gig said to be ‘the hardest concert of her career’ after the killings.

As she took to the stage – returning to the UK for the first time since the tragedy – she appeared overwhelmed as she welcomed 92,000 fans to the final European leg of her Era’s World Tour.

While she did not mention the stabbing explicitly, the three innocent victims are said to have been in Swift’s thoughts, who is said to have been ‘shaken to the core’ by the incident.

‘Taylor may not have spoken about Elsie Dot, Alice and Bebe on stage but she has reached out to their families,’ an insider said. ‘It is something that has weighed heavily on her mind.’

In the aftermath of the tragedy, Swift said she was at ‘a complete loss’ over the devastating attack.

‘The horror of yesterday’s attack in Southport is washing over me continuously, and I’m just completely in shock,’ the singer said following the incident.

‘The loss of life and innocence and the horrendous trauma inflicted on everyone who was there, the families, the first response.

‘These were just little kids at a dance class. I am at a complete loss for how to ever convey my sympathies to these families.’

Just days later, Swift was then forced to cancel three gigs in Vienna after police uncovered a foiled ISIS terror plot.

Swift has not commented publicly on the attempted attack but insiders said she was left ‘horrified’.

Jon Bon Jovi and Richie Sambora, iconic 1980s rock legends, capture the spirit of an era with their unforgettable music and camaraderie.

The 1980s were a defining decade for rock music, an era characterized by electrifying performances, powerful anthems, and larger-than-life personalities. At the heart of this transformative period stood Jon Bon Jovi and Richie Sambora, whose collaboration and camaraderie helped shape the sound and spirit of the rock genre. Together, they created an indelible mark on music history, capturing the essence of an era with their unforgettable music and dynamic stage presence.

The Rise of Bon Jovi

Jon Bon Jovi, born John Francis Bongiovi Jr. on March 2, 1962, in Perth Amboy, New Jersey, was the driving force behind the band Bon Jovi. From an early age, Jon was immersed in the world of music. His initial forays into the music industry included singing in local bands and working as a session musician. However, it wasn’t until he formed Bon Jovi in 1983 that he began to achieve widespread recognition.

The band’s self-titled debut album, released in 1984, introduced the world to Bon Jovi’s signature sound: a blend of hard rock with melodic hooks and anthemic choruses. The album’s standout tracks, including “Runaway,” quickly established Bon Jovi as a rising force in the rock scene. Jon Bon Jovi’s charismatic voice and compelling stage presence were crucial in propelling the band to fame.

The Arrival of Richie Sambora

Richie Sambora, born Richard Stephen Sambora on July 11, 1959, in Perth Amboy, New Jersey, was a pivotal figure in Bon Jovi’s success. Sambora’s guitar skills and songwriting talents complemented Jon Bon Jovi’s vision, and their partnership became one of the most celebrated collaborations in rock history.

Sambora joined Bon Jovi in 1983, just before the release of their debut album. His distinctive guitar style, characterized by powerful riffs and emotive solos, played a significant role in shaping the band’s sound. Sambora’s influence was particularly evident in the band’s subsequent albums, which solidified their place in rock history.

Unforgettable Music and Iconic Albums

The infectious energy of “Livin’ on a Prayer,” with its memorable chorus and Sambora’s iconic guitar solo, became a cultural phenomenon.

The band’s 1988 follow-up album, New Jersey, continued their success, offering hits such as “Bad Medicine” and “I’ll Be There for You.” New Jersey showcased the band’s ability to evolve while staying true to their roots.

Challenges and Triumphs

Despite their success, Bon Jovi faced challenges, both personal and professional. The pressures of fame, the changing landscape of the music industry, and internal conflicts tested their resolve.

Rihanna, the global pop sensation and fashion mogul, once again made headlines, not just for her stellar music career but also for her ever-evolving, cutting-edge style. Appearing on the latest episode of The Voice, Rihanna wowed viewers with a daring and bold new hairstyle—voluminous, wild curls that perfectly captured her fearless, boundary-pushing personality. Seated comfortably in the famous red coach’s chair, the Barbadian superstar commanded attention with her effortlessly chic and unique look, reminding fans why she remains one of the most influential figures in both music and fashion.

Rihanna, who has long been celebrated for her trendsetting fashion choices, opted to embrace her natural curls for this appearance, breaking away from the typical sleek and polished hairstyles often seen on television. Her vibrant, textured curls cascaded down her shoulders, framed her face beautifully, and made a statement that was as powerful as it was stylish. The look was a perfect representation of Rihanna’s signature style—bold, fearless, and unapologetically authentic.

Social media erupted shortly after her appearance, with fans and followers praising the singer for her stunning new hairstyle. Many took to Twitter and Instagram to express their admiration, with comments describing her look as “iconic,” “refreshingly different,” and “inspiring.” Rihanna’s curly hair quickly became a trending topic, sparking a wave of conversation around embracing natural beauty and celebrating diversity in style.

Her decision to rock such a bold look is more than just a fashion statement; it aligns perfectly with her role as a coach and mentor on The Voice.
