Jonathan Lipnicki never lost the acting bug as he grew up in and out of the spotlight.

“Really, it was kind of just going to high school,” Lipnicki, 34, shared with E! News in an interview published Tuesday, January 21. “I wasn’t, like, ‘I’m stepping away.’ I still had my agent, I’d audition here and there.”

The actor was a child when he rose to fame in Stuart Little and Jerry Maguire in the ‘90s. Although he admits to not acting much in the late 2000s, it wasn’t because of a lack of effort.

“I auditioned for a lot and I just didn’t get things. I think that’s OK to say, right?” he shared. “Acting is this thing that I’ve always loved, and sometimes it just doesn’t love you back. There was a span where I didn’t work for a while and I was pursuing it.”

Lipnicki said he continued participating in acting classes and tried his best to “be in tune with who” he was.

“There was just a portion where maybe I just wasn’t very good, and I’m OK saying that,” he explained in his latest interview. “Maybe it’s a me thing, and I’m more than willing to work on myself all the time and take accountability and control for what I can control.”

Later this month, Lipnicki will appear on the small screen playing a fictionalized, over-the-top version of himself on The Joe Schmo Show.

Hosted by Cat Deeley, the show features a new cast of improv characters who help play out a fake reality competition scenario centered around an everyday guy.

Win or lose, Lipnicki said he’s always finding the positive in an industry that isn’t always predictable.

“I got to find out from a young age what I wanted to spend the rest of my life pursuing, so I can never be mad at it,” he shared more than 25 years after playing Renée Zellweger‘s son in Jerry Maguire. “I’m always grateful for it. I am living more in the present now and really trying to focus on who I am now and what that’s going to look like in the future. But I’m extremely grateful for my past.”

He’s also focused on being the “best person” he can be as he follows his heart and continues his acting journey.

“I’ve been through it — the ups and the downs — and consistently throughout it, it’s the thing I love doing with my life,” he shared. “I know the best is yet to come with me.”

The Joe Schmo Show premieres on TBS Tuesday, January 21, at 9 p.m. ET.

Joey King and Steven Piet are the picture of that “corny” couple, and they own it.

King, 25, took to Instagram on Monday, January 20, to show off her matching outfit with Piet, 40. In the snap, the pair both rocked cream-colored crewnecks from Pupsentials, featuring their two rescue fur babies’ faces on them: Fable and Jesse.

In the photo, the duo wrapped their arms around each other while Piet held up a peace sign and beamed for the camera. He teamed his sweatshirt with brown pants, while King opted for gray sweatpants.

“On the surface, we may seem like a couple who is a little corny and sometimes wears matching outfits… but deep down, we are literally exactly that,” King captioned the post.

Fans were quick to gush over the lovebirds’ adorable his-and-hers style moment in the comments section. “Couples that corny-outfit together stick together! Really, you’re both cute here. This picture made me feel cheerful,” one wrote. A second follower added, “And that’s exactly what makes you two couple goals!! ,” while the official Pupsentials account even commented: “We are obsessed .”

While some fans were focused on King’s custom crewneck, others shared their thoughts on the actress’ bleached eyebrows, which she debuted earlier this month.

“What happened to your beautiful eyebrows??” one social media user questioned, while another noted, “Miss your eyebrows .”

King first showed off her platinum arches on January 5, while sipping on a martini on a rooftop. Celebrity friends, including Sabrina Carpenter and Noah Cyrus — the latter who also has bleached brows — complimented the actress’ latest transformation, gushing that she looked so “good.”

The actress later joked about her ethereal look via TikTok, admitting that her strands looked like the “Lorax’s mustache” from Dr. Seuss’ “The Lorax.”

“I kind of love it,” she said. “But then I saw my mom like two days ago and she was like, ‘I just can’t look at you. You look so weird.’” King then explained, “Guys, I know I look weird. That’s the point!”

Whether she’s all glammed up on the red carpet or posing for more casual looks, Meghan Markle has mastered the art of sophistication. While some of her looks come with a hefty price tag, there are affordable ways to incorporate the Duchess’ refined style into our everyday routines. Instead of shelling out hundreds of dollars on designer fashion essentials Markle wears or searching for replicas, there’s an easier option. Simply incorporate her beauty staples into your arsenal.

That’s right. You can smell just like the With Love, Meghan star without breaking the bank. Before her foray into the Royal Family, Markle dished on her beauty routine during a 2016 interview with Express. “Fragrance is my favorite thing – so much so that if I leave the house and I don’t put any on, I’ll turn around and go back home,” she said. Markle revealed that she alternates between several fragrances including the Wood Sage & Sea Salt Cologne by Jo Malone.

Right now, bargain hunters can snag the Markle-approved fragrance on sale at Amazon!

Wondering what makes this fragrance so special? It’s a fresh and earthy unisex scent that combines soothing notes for a long-lasting scent profile. Ambrette seed, sea salt, sage and grapefruit are blended through the unique scent. True to Markle’s fashion sense, this fragrance will instantly remind you of coastal notes. It’s lightweight and refreshing, so you don’t have to worry about it being too strong. Best of all? It’s subtle, which makes it perfect for layering with other fragrances.

Like Markle, Amazon shoppers can’t get enough of this perfume. This long-lasting fragrance left such a lasting impression that one shopper created a foolproof plan to stay in stock. “I have this [fragrance] on auto order so I don’t run out, they shared. “[I] wish Jo Malone made soaps, lotions and powders to layer,” they added. “Total strangers compliment me wearing it.” Another reviewer is just as impressed. “I bought a travel and a full-size version of this and while I don’t wear it every day, the scent is addicting and I wear it when I want to feel fancy.”

FBI’s Stuart Scola has been carrying the weight of his brother’s death with him for years — and actor John Boyd says things will finally come to a head in the midseason premiere.

“We get to see Scola’s 9/11 origin story with his brother sort of come full circle,” Boyd, who plays Scola on the CBS series, exclusively told Us Weekly while previewing the Tuesday, January 28, episode.

The 43-year-old actor explained: “There’s a huge resolution to the loss of his brother, and it intertwines with a case where we’re trying to thwart terrorists that have hijacked planes’ navigation systems in air [on] commercial airliners.”

The episode, titled “Descent,” will hit home for Scola, who lost his brother, Doug, during the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks in New York City.

‘FBI’ Season 7 Brings a Casting Change, Showrunner Switch: What to Know

“It’s really an interesting case and very, very intense for Scola, of course, because of his history,” Boyd added.

Fans previously learned about Scola’s brother during season 4, episode 8, which aired in 2021. “Fire and Rain” saw Scola start to spiral when his team was faced with stopping a terrorist attack that felt like the acts of 9/11 in which al-Qaeda terrorists hijacked several planes, crashing two into the Twin Towers.

Scola also revealed in the episode that his brother was a casualty of the attacks and part of the reason he left Wall Street and started working for the FBI.

Now in season 7, Scola will once again be forced to relive one of the worst days of his life when a terrorist group from Bolivia hijacks commercial planes — one of which is headed into a no-fly zone and therefore as risk of being shot down by the U.S. military with innocents on board.

“I think what’s going through his mind during the case is he’s not really able to stop and question it and process it,” Boyd told Us. “I think he’s in a place of fight or flight. He’s doing what he can do to get through it.”

While tension is high for everyone on the team, Boyd said Scola has several revelations as he tries to stop a possible mass-casualty event from happening again.

Katherine Renee Kane Is Exiting ‘FBI’ as Tiffany Wallace During Season 7

“I think there’s a moment where he’s staring into the eyes of the person — of the terrorist — and he sees that they’re the same,” the actor explained to Us. “That they both have the same pain, that they carry the same loss. That’s the thing that … makes him ready at the end of it [for closure].”

Boyd said that Scola’s intensity over the case is “worth it in the end,” teasing that viewers will see how exactly he gets closure in the final few moments.

“The thing I love about this episode is by the end of the case, Scola is a different person,” Boyd shared. “He’s ready to do something that he wasn’t. He has a new outlook. He has a new perspective.”

That new outlook is linked to his brother’s death and Scola’s new support system which includes partner Nina Chase (Shantel VanSanten), who wasn’t in his life when Doug died.

While Scola is ready to move forward after the midseason premiere there is one thing he’s missing: a new partner.

FBI's Katherine Renee Kane Wants Scola and Nina to Be Next Franchise Wedding

“It’s been interesting to kind of have this phase of being partner-less and getting to rediscover himself as an agent a little bit,” Boyd shared with Us, noting that Scola partners up with agents Maggie Bell (Missy Peregrym) and Omar Adom “OA” Zidan (Zeeko Zaki) during the January 28 episode after his interim partner Sydney Ortiz (Lisette Olivera) gets recruited to another position.

He revealed that “anything’s possible” when it comes to when he’ll get a more permanent partner after Tiffany “Tiff” Wallace (Katherine Renee Kane) left the job during the season 7 premiere in October 2024.

“We could have a little more speed dating,” Boyd said with a laugh. “Someone could drop in. It could be a Cinderella slipper situation. I don’t know. Anything can happen.”

FBI returns to CBS on Tuesday, January 28, at 8 p.m. ET.

Emily Ratajkowski is bringing the heat — literally — with multiple red-hot looks in a mere 72 hours.

Over the holiday weekend, the author of My Body jetted off to Mexico, joined by her close friend and comedian Ziwe Fumudoh, for the getaway. Ratajkowski, 33, had no shortage of chile-hued clothing in her suitcase. Throughout the trip, she turned up wearing her signature shade in sizzling new ways that were equal parts vacation-ready and Valentine’s Day-coded.

Kicking things off with a girls’ night out, Ratajkowski turned heads in a curve-skimming scarlet slip dress with a plunging neckline cut down to there. She kept her accessories to a minimum, ideal for keeping the focus on the scene-stealing wardrobe, save for a red leather drawstring bag, a gleaming gold necklace and pointed-toe strappy stilettos in the same metallic finish.

The next morning, Ratajkowski soaked up the sun in a string bikini that left (very) little to the imagination. She gave her halter bikini top a DIY-micro treatment by ruching it tightly for minimal coverage, maximum cleavage. She doubled down with a coordinating cheeky thong in the same cherry-red hue. The model emphasized her curves by wearing the booty-baring bottoms with the straps pulled high on the hips, lending them an ’80s aesthetic that’s right on trend right now.

“Lotsa red this weekend,” Ratajkowski captioned a photo carousel she shared via Instagram on Monday, January 20. Elsewhere in her social media post, she maintained the visual theme throughout her beauty from head to toe, as with a striking red pout and a pedicure to match.

Stars Who Have Sizzled in Itty-Bitty Lingerie: Kim Kardashian, More

Come Tuesday, January 21, she was back at it again — or rather, back at work. The Intimissimi brand ambassador (announced last November) shared images of herself via social media in the new Valentine’s Day campaign, posing in the Italian label’s red lingerie while posing on top of a large white bed.

 

The sartorial star of the collection is the Emma Triangle Bra, which features satin-covered straps, wireless cups spun from soft stretch lace and is stitched with the phrase “More Amore” in tonal red embroidery. Other romantic flourishes included a heart-shaped charm at the bust and dainty scalloped trimming, details that also turned up on a pair of skivvies the same vibrant shade.

Similar to the retro bottoms from the model’s Mexican retreat, her red Intimissimi panties riffed off the throwback era, only the specific design inspiration came right out of Rio: see the More Amore ’80s Style Brazilian thong with low-rise straps and the same less-is-more look and feel.

Whether you’re looking to spice things up on vacay or V-Day, Ratajkowski has you covered.

The new Intimissimi Valentine’s Day collection of “Emily’s Picks” is available to shop now on intimissimi.com.

Meredith Gaudreau spent her first birthday since the death of her husband, Johnny, surrounded by her children and loved ones. 

The birthday celebration happened on Monday, January 20, nearly five months after Johnny, 31, and his brother, Matthew, 29, were killed by a drunk driver while riding their bicycles in Oldmans Township, New Jersey in August 2024. 

In a photo shared via Instagram by her sister, Lily, Meredith was seen blowing out birthday candles while holding her daughter, Noa, 2 months, and son, Johnny, 22 months. 

“Happy birthday Dith!!” Lily wrote, as Noa and Johnny looked on wide-eyed.

In another photo shared by Lily, which was reposted by Meredith, she and Johnny were seen fast asleep on the floor. 

“Birthday naps,” Lily wrote. 

Meredith was also on the receiving end of birthday messages from some of her best friends, including some famous hockey WAGs. 

Claudia Mangiapane, the wife of Calgary Flames star Andrew Mangiapane, shared a picture from her wedding day standing alongside Meredith. Andrew and Johnny played together for four years in Calgary. 

“Happy birthday to the person who knows me better than I know myself and who’s been there through every high and every low (and every dinner table high-low),” Claudia shared via her Instagram Story. “I’m forever grateful for you, for John, and for the kids. Our chosen family. Even luckier to call you my best friend. Sister actually.”

Claudia continued, “Here’s to a lifetime of laughs and tears together. Love you more than words can even say.”

Ryen Hendricks, the girlfriend of Boston Bruins defenseman Ryan Peeke, called Meredith “the most beautiful woman inside and out” in a birthday message posted via her Instagram Story.

Why the Gaudreau Brothers’ Heartbreaking Tragedy Captured Everyone's Attention

At a memorial service for Johnny and Matthew in September 2024, Meredith revealed she was nine weeks pregnant with her and Johnny’s third baby. 

In October 2024, Meredith celebrated her daughter Noa’s 2nd birthday with help of the Columbus Blue Jackets family, the team Johnny was playing for at the time of his death. More than a dozen players as well as their wives and girlfriends attended Noa’s party, which came exactly two months after Johnny’s death. 

“We love you all,” Meredith wrote via Instagram alongside a picture from the party. “Thank you from the bottom of my heart really special group that will forever be family to me and my babies.”

The party was also attended by Johnny’s sisters, Katie and Kristen, and Matthew’s wife, Madeline. In December 2024, Madeline gave birth to the couple’s first baby, a boy named Tripp.

Ilona Maher isn’t letting a broken nose stop her from bringing her bikini A-game.

Maher, 28, showed off her figure via Instagram on Tuesday, January 21, while baking in a sauna. For her steamy impromptu photoshoot, Maher rocked a highlighter-bright yellow bikini featuring a triangle halter top equipped with subtle stripes. The Olympian paired the top with matching bottoms that tied into bows at her hips.

The season 33 Dancing With the Stars competitor accessorized with layered gold necklaces little else.

Maher leaned against the bench of the sauna while gazing into the camera. She pushed her brunette strands to one side of her head and donned a knowing smile.

Olympian Ilona Maher Is ‘Not OK’ After Breaking Her Nose in Rugby Match

In a separate sexy snap, the rugby player leaned forward and stared into the camera. She leaned her head against one hand while resting her other arm across her knees.

“Sweating it out,” Maher captioned the thirst trap, prompting fans to swoon in the comments section. “Ma’am the internet can’t handle this level of traffic,” one follower wrote, as another added, “You look SO good.” A third fan gushed, “Mommy .”

Maher’s sultry snap comes days after she shared that she broke her nose during a match. On Saturday, January 18, she posted a selfie of her bloody nose and stained jersey while holding a thumbs up.

“All good, everyone. Just a lil knock,” she captioned the post. Maher later updated her fans on how she was healing. On Monday, January 20, she joked that she “scared a few people on the street” while walking around with pink and purple bruises underneath her eyes.

When it comes to anchoring a morning news show, one thing is certain — your wake-up call is well before the sun rises.

And as a result, Savannah Guthrie has a stern warning for her new Today coanchor Craig Melvin.

Prior to joining Today six years ago, he was an evening news anchor for WIS in Columbia, South Carolina, and a weekend anchor for WRC in Washington, D.C. in 2008, where he met his wife, sports reporter Lindsay Czarniak.

The husband and wife share a mutually exclusive love of sports.

As a result, Melvin admitted to staying up last night to watch the College National Championship instead of going to bed in preparation for his 3:45 a.m. call time.

Craig Melvin Asked Hoda Kotb If She Was Being Forced Out of 'Today' Role

Guthrie was quick to scold Melvin for his choices.

“I was up late last night,” Melvin told Guthrie on Tuesday, January 21, revealing he “had to see if the Ohio State Buckeyes could vanquish their opponents” the Notre Dame Fighting Irish, which they did 34-23.

“Again? You know this is a marathon, not a sprint. If you stay up every night watching football and getting up early, this cannot last,” Guthrie warned Melvin.

Melvin agreed with his coanchor, admitting he’s “gonna have to recondition myself.”

Melvin has been anchoring the first hour of the Today show since January 13. However, he’s been a staple during the third hour of the show for the last several years.

In an interview with Parade, Melvin recalled how he learned about Hoda Kotb’s decision to step away from the anchor desk in order to spend more time with her daughters and her mom.

“My dressing room is two over from hers, and she knocks on my door one morning, which was unusual. And she’s like, ‘You have a moment?’ She came in, and she said, ‘I just wanted to tell you something. I’m leaving.’”

Hoda Kotb Sends Shout-Out to 'Today' Show Replacement Craig Melvin

Admitting that “no one leaves these jobs on their own,” he said he first questioned if Kotb was “sick.” When she assured him she was fine and simply wanted to leave her post while she was “on top,” Melvin pressed harder.

“I was like, ‘Are they forcing you out?’ She’s like, ‘No Craig, I’m OK. I’m leaving.’ I was legit stunned, so much so that after she left, I went back to her dressing room, and I was like, ‘Are you sure you’re OK?’ It takes a certain kind of courage to leave anything when you’re at the height of your game.”

The countdown to February 14 is quickly winding down. Now is the perfect time to figure out the special presents that make the most sense for your loved ones.

Jason Aldean believes Carrie Underwood deserves a round of applause for her latest performance.

“First of all, it’s a hard song to do anyway, and when you’re supposed to be singing to a track and that’s what gives you pitch reference for the song,” Aldean, 47, shared on the Tuesday, January 21, episode of Fox & Friends. “To not have that, for her to just kinda say, ‘All right, listen, we’ll go.’ That’s a big move and that’s a pro move on her part, so I thought it was great.”

On Monday, January 20, Underwood, 41, sang “America the Beautiful” during President Donald Trump’s second inauguration.

During the live performance, the American Idol winner — who wore an Opificio Modenese dress and INGILIZ heels for the occasion — experienced a technical glitch. She quickly offered to sing a capella for the crowd gathered inside the U.S. Capitol building.

Carrie Underwood Through the Years: From ‘Idol’ to Country Star and Mom

“I love our country and am honored to have been asked to sing at the inauguration and to be a small part of this historic event,” Underwood said in a statement after accepting the gig. “I am humbled to answer the call at a time when we must all come together in the spirit of unity and looking to the future.”

Underwood wasn’t the only country singer to perform during Trump’s presidential inauguration.

Aldean was given the opportunity to perform at the Liberty Ball, geared toward the president’s supporters.

“Everytime I think I’ve done it all …This was a whole different ball game for me,” Aldean shared on Fox News about the opportunity. “It was just a huge honor to be there and be part of that night. It just kind of feels electric. Everybody is just excited for this new chapter of where we are headed.”

Jason’s wife, Brittany Aldean, also shared her thoughts on the evening in a social media post.

Jason and Brittany Aldean’s Relationship Timeline

“INAUGURATION NIGHT,” she wrote via Instagram on Monday. “What a ride it’s been! Today has made all the scrutiny worth it. Wouldn’t change a thing.”

Looking ahead, Jason is excited to get back on a tour bus and perform for his fans. On Tuesday, the country singer announced his Full Throttle Tour powered by Patriot Mobile will kick off on May 23 at Blossom Music Center in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio.

“We’re excited,” he shared on Fox & Friends about the nearly 30-city tour. “We’re just looking for another great year on the road.”

Justin Bieber cleared the air after he was seemingly caught unfollowing Hailey Bieber on Instagram. Us Weekly confirmed on Tuesday, January 21, that the 30-year-old pop star was no longer keeping up with his wife on the social media platform, but she appeared to still be following Justin. Hours later, Justin addressed the situation via his Instagram Story. “Someone went on my account and unfollowed my wife. S— is getting suss out here,” he wrote. As fans wondered whether the social media activity was a sign of trouble in paradise for the couple — who exchanged vows in 2018 and welcomed their first baby, a son, last year — Justin quieted the speculation even further by sharing a series of romantic photos with Hailey from a recent winter getaway. In one pic, the pair gazed lovingly at one another while sitting at a dinner table. Another snap showed Justin and Hailey suited up for the snow with skis in the background.

Hollywood’s elite has access to the most renowned — and expensive — beauty products. Because of this, you might think that celebrities swear by unattainable makeup and skincare brands. Well, that’s not always the case. Take singer-songwriter Lisa Loeb, for example. Her all-time favorite lipstick is just $3 at Amazon.

Loeb discovered the Wet n Wild Mega Last Matte Lip Color by total accident. During a television shoot, Loeb’s makeup artist at the time forgot her professional kit, so she picked up a few items at the drugstore — including this affordable lipstick.

“It’s actually one of my favorite lipsticks,” she explains to The Strategist. “It’s a matte lipstick, which lasts really well. It creates the illusion of whatever lip shape you want, then if you want to add gloss on top of that to change the color slightly — to make it more pink or more beige, for example — you can do that.”

While Wet n Wild offers this lipstick in a variety of hues, Loeb’s go-to is ‘bare it all.’ “It’s a great neutral color you can use underneath other lipsticks. And it’s a drugstore lipstick, so it’s very inexpensive,” Loeb says.

As a beauty writer, this is the most affordable lipstick I’ve ever seen — yet the formula is high quality. The lipstick is enriched with hyaluronic acid, as well as vitamin A and E for boosted moisture, meaning your lips stay hydrated with each swipe. Plus, the pigment is pretty impressive. Reviewers say it only takes one layer for high color payoff, whether you go with a nude or bold hue.

Several happy shoppers agree ‘bare it all’ is the best color. “I love this shade, and I have given this lipstick as a gift to so many of my friends,” one five-star reviewer writes. “It works with every complexion! They have updated the packaging so it’s even cute to look at.”

Whenever Loeb is running low, she immediately goes to the drugstore to pick up another tube . . . and to meditate. “It’s very relaxing for me to go to the drugstore. That’s one of the things I do. I try to meditate, but sometimes the best meditation is just wandering around a drugstore and looking at the shelves,” she jokes. “This [lipstick] was such a surprise because I like using a lot of different brands of makeup from Lancôme to Mac.”

Judi Dench’s vision loss has affected all aspects of her life, and has limited her ability to attend public events.

“I’m always nervous before going to something,” the Oscar winner, 90, shared on a recent episode of Trinny Woodall’s “Fearless” podcast, noting that someone always has to “be with me” on red carpets because of her vision loss. “I’m not good at that at all. Not at all. Nor would I be now. And fortunately, I don’t have to be now,” she stated, joking that she has “no eyesight.”

She added: “You might trip up.”

Dench announced she was diagnosed with macular degeneration in 2012. According to the Mayo Clinic, the condition is a common form of vision loss in people over the age of 50.

Judi Dench Says Her Pet Parrot Calls Her a ‘Slut’

“In response to the numerous articles in the media concerning my eye condition – macular degeneration – I do not wish for this to be overblown,” she said in a statement to Reuters at the time. “This condition is something that thousands and thousands of people all over the world are having to contend with. It’s something that I have learnt to cope with and adapt to – and it will not lead to blindness.”

The celebrated British actress has continued to be candid about her eyesight struggles over the years, stating at a 2021 online event for the Vision Foundation that she had to adapt how she prepares for roles because of her condition.

“You find a way of just getting about and getting over the things that you find very difficult,” Dench explained, per The Guardian. “I’ve had to find another way of learning lines and things, which is having great friends of mine repeat them to me over and over and over again. So I have to learn through repetition, and I just hope that people won’t notice too much if all the lines are completely hopeless!”

During a February 2023 appearance on The Graham Norton Show, Dench revealed it had “become impossible” for her to read scripts. “And because I have a photographic memory, I need to find a machine that not only teaches me my lines but also tells me where they appear on the page,” she said. Dench noted that she once found it “very easy to learn lines and remember them,” and could “do the whole of Twelfth Night right now.”

Dench is one of many celebs who have endured challenges with their vision. Earlier this month, Elton John poked fun at his vision loss while presenting the award for Best Original Score, Motion Picture, at the 2025 Golden Globes with Brandi Carlile.

“I don’t know if you know, but there’s been a lot of stories going on around about my recursive eyesight. I just wanted to reassure everybody that it’s not as bad as it seems,” he said on stage before joking, “I’m so pleased to be here with my cohost, Rihanna.”

John, 77, revealed he was recovering from a “severe eye infection” in September 2024 that left him with “limited vision in one eye.” That November, he told Good Morning America he “can’t see anything” in his right eye as a result of the illness.

Justin Bieber is seemingly unbothered after this morning’s debacle regarding his wife, Hailey Bieber, and an Instagram unfollow.

Justin, 30, shared a selfie via Instagram Stories on Tuesday, January 21, set to the song “Bitch, Don’t Kill My Vibe” by Kendrick Lamar. Fans were quick to speculate that Justin was reacting to news from earlier that same day, when he apparently unfollowed Hailey, 28, on Instagram.

“Someone went on my account and unfollowed my wife,” he wrote in an Instagram statement, which has since been deleted. “S— is getting suss out here.”

Us Weekly confirmed on Tuesday morning that Justin was no longer following Hailey on the social media platform, but she still followed him on the app.

The apparent unfollow and speculation the couple’s relationship was on the rocks came as a shock to fans. Just hours earlier, Justin had shared a sweet social media tribute to his wife.

“The greatest woman I have and will ever know,” the singer captioned a series of photos on Monday, January 20, from what appeared to be a winter getaway.

Justin Bieber Is Heartbroken Over Hailey's Emotional Struggles: Details

After the Instagram drama on Tuesday, Justin shared more photos from the vacation, seemingly to quiet the doubters.

One rather romantic black-and-white image showed Justin and Hailey sitting across from each other at a dining table. The couple were smiling at each other, looking so in love. A second image showed them both dressed in winter gear before presumably hitting the slopes.

Justin and Hailey secretly tied the knot in a New York City courthouse in September 2018. The following year, they hosted a larger wedding ceremony. The duo announced in May 2024 that they were gearing up to become first-time parents. Hailey gave birth to their son, Jack Blues, in August of that year.

“It’s total bliss for the two of them,” a source told Us following Jack’s birth, noting that Hailey is “enjoying and savoring these moments being a new mom.”

Did Hailey Bieber Subtly Address Speculation About Marriage Trouble?

The Rhode Beauty founder is “over the moon and in mom zone,” the insider added, adding that she is “completely focused on the health of the baby.”

A second source told Us earlier this month that there was a “total shift” in Justin and Hailey’s marriage after they renewed their vows this past May. The insider noted that baby Jack’s birth has “truly brought them so much happiness and a renewed bond.”

Justin is “obsessed” with their newborn, the source continued, calling the singer a “really good dad.” Hailey’s “main priority is being a mom right now,” the insider added.

Simone Biles’ Birkin is a designer bag that will go the distance.

Biles, 27, showed off her new Birkin via Instagram on Tuesday, January 21, while taking a trip to Zurich, Switzerland, with husband Johnathan Owens. While strolling around the city, she carried her Hermès bag, handmade in brown leather with the signature gold “lock” closure.

The gymnast teamed her look with a fuzzy emerald green coat featuring wide lapels and multiple pockets, plus black leggings and white Adidas Samba sneakers.

Biles donned a soft smile while posing for the camera. Elsewhere on social media, Biles shared a mirror selfie of her and Owens, 29. The Chicago Bears safety bundled up in a black hoodie and a puffer coat. He teamed his top with tan bottoms with a creased front.

Throughout their day, the couple enjoyed mimosas, shopping for fur coats and Biles even posted a video of her getting “iced” — which is when you come across a Smirnoff Ice and have to take a knee and chug the bottle. She giggled in the clip while finishing off half the drink.

Biles and Owens’ getaway comes shortly after their stop in New York City, when she purchased her beloved Birkin bag. During her shopping trip, Biles shared a snap of the accessory via Instagram.

“Treated myself to a new lil baby while in New York,” she captioned a reel of the bag, which, according to Maison de Luxe, retails for $34,000. “Johnathan came for emotional support, baby I was sweaaaating.”

Biles is also the proud owner of an Hermès Kelly bag, which she teased after becoming the most decorated gymnast at the 2024 summer Paris Olympics. Her Kelly, which has a long crossbody hook and small hand straps, retails for $30,000 and is complete with silver hardware. Like Biles and Owens, consider the Birkin and the Kelly a perfect pair.

Guitarist John Sykes died earlier this month after a battle with cancer. He was 65.

“It is with great sorrow we share that John Sykes has passed away after a hard-fought battle with cancer,” a statement posted on Sykes’ official Facebook page read on Monday, January 20. “He will be remembered by many as a man with exceptional musical talent but for those who didn’t know him personally, he was a thoughtful, kind, and charismatic man whose presence lit up the room.”

The statement continued: “He certainly marched to the beat of his own drum and always pulled for the underdog. In his final days, he spoke of his sincere love and gratitude for his fans who stuck by him through all these years.”

Sykes’ team concluded, “While the impact of his loss is profound and the mood somber, we hope the light of his memory will extinguish the shadow of his absence.”

Sykes was born and raised in England, kicking off his career with bands like Streetfighter and Badlands before he joined Tygers of Pan Tang in 1980. The musician recorded two albums with the group — 1981’s Spellbound and Crazy Nights — before his exit in 1982.

The rocker was introduced to Thin Lizzy frontman Phil Lynott around the same time and the pair collaborated on his “Please Don’t Leave Me” single, which was released in 1982. Sykes officially joined the Irish rock band later that year as their guitarist.

Thin Lizzy’s 1983 album Thunder and Lightning was his first record with the group, which was followed up by Life. Sykes later recorded 2000’s live album One Night Only with the band even though Lynott died in 1986.

John Stamos Mourns Beach Boys Bandmate Jeff Foskett: ‘You Were Loved’

The band mourned the loss of Sykes via Instagram on Tuesday, January 21, crediting the late musician with “bringing a harder edge to their sound.”

“He always sounded fantastic and looked cool on stage. He stayed with the band until the end, a perfect fit with Phil, Scott [Gorham], Brian [Downey] and Darren [Wharton],” the social media post read. “Our respect and thoughts to his family and friends and a massive thank you for being a part of the Thin Lizzy story and history. Please play T&L today and play it loud.”

Following his success with Thin Lizzy, Sykes continued to take the rock world by storm as the guitarist for Whitesnake. He released 1984’s Slide It In and 1987’s Whitesnake albums with the band before moving over to Blue Murder. He released three albums — and was a vocalist as well as guitarist — with the English group from 1989 to 1994.

The iconic guitarist also had a successful solo career prior to his passing. His first solo record, Out of My Tree, came out in 1995. Sykes released two albums in 1997 and one in 2000. His last album, Bad Boy Live!, was released in 2004.

The music community paid tribute to Sykes via social media on both Monday and Tuesday. Tony Franklin, who was part of Whitesnake and Blue Murder, honored his late friend via X, writing, “My deepest heartfelt thanks for all your kind wishes and condolences for the passing of John Sykes.”

He added: “I am heartbroken and will miss him terribly. I’m thankful for the time we had together and the music we created. Rest peacefully John. Love you forever .”

Radio personality and music talk show host Eddie Trunk shared his own message via X, calling Sykes’ death “devastating shocking news.”

“As most know John was not only a friend, but always one of my favorite guitarists,” he continued. “Stunned by this. What a loss. Condolences to his family and friends. Crushed. RIP John Sykes.”

Sykes is survived by his three sons: James, John Jr. and Sean.

Brad Womack revealed that he got in touch with ex-fiancée Emily Maynard “one time” after their split.

“I’m a very, very respectful guy when it comes to situations and if someone’s in a relationship,” Womack, 52, said on the Monday, January 20, episode of the “Almost Famous” podcast. “I remember when I had heard she gotten married, and I reached out and said, ‘Hey, I’m genuinely happy for you.’”

Womack claimed that Maynard’s marriage to Tyler Johnson in 2014 was “exactly what she had been wanting.” (Maynard, 38, and Jones welcomed kids Jennings, Gibson, Gatlin, Nola and Jones in 2015, 2016, 2017, 2020 and 2022, respectively. She is also mom to daughter Ricki, 19, with whom she shared with late fiancé Ricky Hendrick.)

“She had been wanting marriage, a beautiful family, and she has all of that and then some,” Womack said.

Womack called Maynard “extremely captivating,” gushing that “she is pure to her core, just an exceptional human being.”

“She is a little elusive,” Womack said. “I don’t think she needs much. And I mean that in such a complimentary way, where I think I’m kind of a sellout, I’ll do anything. I’m kidding.”

Womack said he admires the way that Maynard “carries herself” noting that “what you see is what you get.”

Womack popped the question to Maynard during season 15 of The Bachelor, which aired in 2011. Months after the finale aired, the pair called off their engagement in June 2011. Maynard went on to become The Bachelorette in 2012 and accepted a proposal from Jef Holm. Maynard and Holm announced their separation in October 2012.

“We realized really quickly we were two different people once we got back into the real world,” Womack said on Monday. “I think I’m a little rough around the edges and she is extremely refined. Again, I’m saying that in a complimentary way. And when I look at her from the outside looking in and seeing the life that she’s created and built, I couldn’t be happier.”

While Womack said his time with Maynard was “brief,” he gushed that he “really enjoyed” his time with her. Womack added, “She has a pure soul, you know what I mean? I thoroughly enjoyed my time with her. Things don’t work out unfortunately, and here we are.”

Since his split with Maynard, Womack has been tight-lipped about his relationship status. On January 1, Womack hard-launched a romance with a woman named Gabriella.

“We’re having a lot of fun together. She’s an inherently kind human being,” he gushed. “I’m really happy. We’re really happy together right now.”
