Justin Bieber ends friendship after backlash over emotional text shared on Instagram

Justin Bieber recently shared a tense text exchange with an unnamed friend on Instagram, revealing deep frustrations and emotional vulnerability. The screenshots, posted Sunday evening, showed the pop star responding to being accused of 'lashing out.'
Bieber defended his emotions, writing, 'Conflict is part of relationship. If you don't like my anger, you don't like me.' He added that asking a traumatized person not to show trauma was 'simply mean.'
The friend replied, 'I'm not used to someone lashing out at me,' prompting Bieber to end the relationship abruptly. 'This friendship is officially over,' he wrote. The singer also referred to the individual as a 'p—y' and claimed he has other friends who respect his boundaries.
Bieber continued to express his feelings on his Instagram Story, urging people to stop asking if he's okay. 'Your concern doesn't come off as care. It's just oppressive weirdo,' he wrote. The posts sparked concern among fans over Bieber's mental and emotional state.
This outburst follows a recent confrontation between Bieber and paparazzi outside Soho House Malibu, where he angrily told photographers to get out of his face. Taken together, these incidents appear to reflect an ongoing pattern of emotional openness and sensitivity that has increasingly defined the singer's public persona.

Sanam, Mohib announce birth of their first baby

Actors Sanam Saeed and Mohib Mirza have announced the birth of their first child, a baby boy named Vali Hasan Mirza. While the couple shared the news in a joint Instagram post on Friday, the celebratory post reveals that Vali was born on May 18. In the caption, Sanam wrote: "Our hearts are full. With love, wonder, and the tiniest little fingers — we welcome our son Vali Hasan Mirza into the world surrounded by love. All that is by the will of Allah — there is no power except through Him. Please keep our little one in your prayers." This joyous milestone follows years of quiet companionship between the actors. While rumours of a relationship circulated for some time, the couple confirmed their marriage in early 2023 during an appearance on a cricket talk show hosted by Fahad Mustafa. Later, on The Knock Knock Show, Mohib revealed that his feelings for Sanam began while filming the TV series Deedan in 2016. At the time, he was still married to actor Aamina Sheikh, with whom he shares a daughter. The two divorced in 2019. Before Mohib, Sanam was married to her childhood friend, Farhan Hasan, before the couple parted ways. Just weeks before Vali's birth, Sanam posted a heartfelt Mother's Day tribute to her own mother, announcing her pregnancy: "I'll be one very soon Inshallah. I pray I'm every bit like her and more. My saviour, my protector, my role model." Sanam has spoken candidly about her relationship with Mohib on various occasions, calling her decision to marry at 35 the best one she ever made. "I was more sure of myself, more grounded, and more emotionally mature," she said in a 2024 interview. The actor pointed out that societal perceptions often discourage marriage after a certain age, especially for women. "Yes, 35 is considered an older age for marriage, but that doesn't mean if someone has failed in their first marriage or hasn't married by this age, they shouldn't marry at all," she added. Ever the doting husband, Mohib has reciprocated this praise by gushing about Sanam's character. "She is one of the most focused and diligent actors I've ever worked with. She inspires me," he shared in an interview earlier this year. "You won't know a more balanced person."

17-year-old Lamine Yamal breaks silence on leaked voice notes with influencer

Barcelona teen sensation Lamine Yamal has firmly denied trying to meet 29‑year‑old adult film star Claudia Bavel, amid conflicting claims aired on Spanish TV show TardeAR. According to off‑air audio from the broadcast, Yamal insisted he declined any meeting with Bavel, stating he 'wasn't interested' and lives with his mother, who doesn't permit visitors. Journalist Alex Álvarez further alleged Bavel intended to hire a photographer to stage their encounter. Bavel responded via Instagram, asserting the opposite: she maintains Yamal initiated contact and sought to meet her at several social events. She emphasized they never met and denied any involvement of money or fame, urging the public to end defamatory accusations. She also shared alleged WhatsApp exchanges where Yamal reportedly asked her to visit his house despite the age difference and joked she wouldn't 'get arrested' because he'd secure her release—an attempt, she says, to persuade her. Both parties agree no meeting occurred, and Bavel pointedly said she 'chose not to speak publicly until after Yamal mentioned it.' The situation unfolds just days after Yamal was spotted holidaying with only‑fans model Fati Vázquez, also 29—who has faced severe online harassment and denies any romantic involvement, a story that sparked its own controversy. Yamal, still 17 and not due to turn 18 until July 13, has seen his sudden fame accompany scrutiny of his personal life. This latest episode highlights the fine line celebrity teens walk between public attention and privacy.

Ariana Grande calls out Trump's criminal record in anti-ICE repost

Ariana Grande has once again used her platform to weigh in on U.S. politics, resharing a viral post to her Instagram Story that criticizes former President Donald Trump and U.S. immigration policy. The quote, which quickly spread across social media, reads: 'Could someone explain which crimes get you deported and which ones get you elected president? It's so confusing.' The pop superstar did not add commentary to the post, but her decision to amplify it speaks volumes, especially amid renewed public outcry over Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids and growing scrutiny of Trump's legal battles. Grande's reposting comes at a time when celebrity political engagement is more visible than ever. Known for her activism, Grande has previously encouraged voter turnout, spoken on LGBTQ+ rights, and voiced concern over racial injustice. Her latest post continues a pattern of using her massive following—over 380 million on Instagram—to spotlight political message resonated with thousands online, drawing praise from fans and activists alike. The post indirectly contrasts the criminalization of undocumented immigrants with the political survival of figures like Trump, who continues to campaign despite facing multiple indictments. Whether intentional or not, Grande's post has reignited debates about justice, accountability, and privilege in the U.S. legal system—raising questions far beyond the confines of pop culture.
