Justin Bieber Shares Carousel of Romantic Moments With Hailey Bieber
THE RUNDOWN On Sunday, Justin Bieber shared a carousel of photos that included romantic shots with his wife, Hailey Bieber, seemingly enjoying some time in the countryside—or at least on a gorgeous lawn. The collection opened with a selfie where Hailey is leaning on her husband's shoulder with a yellow flower in her hair. Justin is wearing a white tank top and a pair of wraparound sunglasses that reflected their feet and the view in front of them. There were also a few pictures of them laying out on blankets side-by-side and enjoying the green grass. Hailey wore a three-quarter sleeve white shirt and dark jeans, while Justin wore loose jean shorts and an electric yellow hoodie. They seemed to be wearing the same outfits in another picture where they're sharing a kiss. Hailey posted the carousel in her Instagram Stories, adding the song 'That's How Strong My Love Is' by Otis Redding. On Saturday, Justin shared three photos with their son, Jack Blues Bieber, who will be turning one on August 22. They are seated on a couch together and Jack is waving his feet towards the camera. A glimpse of his blonde hair is visible and in one photo Justin leans down to kiss him on the head. On Friday, Hailey and Justin went to Giorgio Baldi in Santa Monica for a date night. The couple dressed up, with the Rhode founder saying she was in a black minidress of ruched fabric with a plunging neckline. Hailey wore the dress with black pointed-toe heels and carried a black handbag. She left her hair down and wore small silver earrings and sunglasses for accessories. Justin wore a large black leather coat, a bright blue hoodie, and wide-legged jeans, with a SKYLRK white beanie and sunglasses. Justin was seen holding the car door open for his wife before following her into the restaurant.

Selena Gomez Shares Photo With Benny Blanco at Gorgeous Wedding
THE RUNDOWN On Sunday, Selena Gomez shared new photos with Benny Blanco at the wedding of friends Lil Dicky and Kristin Batalucco. Blanco worked with Dave star Lil Dicky on his hit show and they are close friends. In the pictures, Gomez wore a sleeveless red halter dress with a mock turtle neckline. She had a fuzzy black coat as a cover-up which she allowed to slide off of her shoulders in a short video clip in which she dabbed on her new Rare Beauty parfum. Blanco wore a dark blue suit over a black button-down, open at the neck to reveal his layered gold necklaces. Gomez captioned her carousel of pictures from the ceremony and reception: 'About last nights wedding 💒' The star accessorized with chainlink earrings and wore her hair in a sleek updo. She had on a full glam makeup look by Jenna Nicole. The celebrity makeup artist posted shots of Gomez's makeup on her timeline on Sunday as well, showing off the smokey eye and red lip color that matched the Only Murders in the Building star's dress. Gomez shared another makeup look from Nicole in her Instagram Stories on Sunday in which she is wearing a black halter and has her hair down in flowing waves. In those selfies, she wore her marquise diamond engagement ring from Blanco. The couple has been engaged since December 2024. On August 7, in an episode of the podcast Therapuss with Jake Shane, Gomez shared that she and her fiancé first met when she was 16 to work on a project that never came through. 'I feel like he was an acquaintance, if that makes sense,' she said. 'To be honest, we weren't besties. I just thought he was nice, and then we did a few songs together.' But when they met yet again a few years ago, romance blossomed. Though Gomez said she 'couldn't be more excited,' the wedding is not happening anytime soon. 'There's so much happening at the moment,' she explained. 'He's working on some projects that he has to wrap up, and we just have things we want to finish and our own personal endeavors before we get into all the nitty-gritty. I just have really never felt so sure about something, and I also don't want to jinx it by saying that.'

Jeff Buckley's Ex on the 'Heartbreaking' Pressure the Rock Icon Was Under Before His Death at 30 (Exclusive)
The singer, who died of drowning in 1997, struggled under the weight of fame and expectations, those close to him tell PEOPLENEED TO KNOW Before he died in 1997 at the age of 30, Jeff Buckley released the hit 1994 album, Grace Friends and his former partner tell PEOPLE the singer felt immense pressure after his debut and struggled with fame "It was just heartbreaking because it was overwhelming for him," his former girlfriend, Rebecca Moore, says of the demands placed upon himJeff Buckley began his musical career carrying a burden: the legacy of a father he never knew. "He didn't want to be known as Tim Buckley's son," says director Amy Berg, whose new documentary on the "Hallelujah" singer, It's Never Over, Jeff Buckley is out now. Tim Buckley, an experimental folk singer with a cult following, left before his son was born and died in 1975 when Jeff was 8. "That ghost haunted him," Berg says. When Buckley signed a multimillion-dollar deal with Columbia Records, the expectations were even greater. "It was a ton of pressure," his former girlfriend, Rebecca Moore, says. "For every artist, a big record contract's going to be pressure. But this for him had the added weight of legacy of his dad, and he was under pressure to do something unique." At Columbia, "there were a lot of eyes on him," adds Buckley's former tour manager Gene Bowen, who says that label execs looked at him as an artist in the vein of Bob Dylan and Bruce Springsteen. His 1994 debut, Grace, was a critical success, lauded by the likes of David Bowie and Led Zeppelin's Jimmy Page, who declared it one of his favorite albums of the decade, Buckley was in the spotlight and on a relentless touring schedule for the years that followed. And then, expectation began to build for a second album. "It was just heartbreaking because it was overwhelming for him," Moore says of the demands placed upon him. "He once said to me, 'Rebecca, I can't even shower in the morning.' I think all he could focus on was keeping himself upright and getting to the meetings and seeing through the obligations." Working 16-hour days playing shows and doing press, "there was burnout," says Bowen. But "the label wanted pounds of flesh and they were like, 'We want to get this record done.' " Buckley's mom, Mary Guibert, recalls Jeff once telling her, "They want to make me a commodity. They want me to make another Grace." But, she adds, "He wanted to shock people. He wanted to create something that was edgy. He wanted to be a Morrissey. He didn't want to be Michael Bolton." By 1997, still struggling to produce a second album, Buckley moved to Memphis, Tenn., to write in solitude. "He wanted some stability," Berg says. "And that's what Memphis represented for him at the time. I think he just wanted some peace in his life." Buckley began to get traction on a new album that spring, and that May he invited his band down to record. "He was extremely excited to get this thing done, to be back with the bandmates," Bowen says. "Everything was laid out, I had all the gear down there and we had this cool old warehouse that we were going to use." But on the evening of May 29, on his way to meet his bandmates, he stopped at the bank of a tributary adjacent to the Mississippi and, singing along as Led Zeppelin's "Whole Lotta Love" played on a nearby stereo, waded into the water. A wake from a passing riverboat pulled him under. His body was found six days later and an autopsy ruled his death an accident. The recordings he left behind were released in 1998 as a second album, Sketches for My Sweetheart the Drunk. But his mother says Buckley's legacy was far greater than his music. "In my eulogy, I gave what I called 'The Golden Promise', because the absence of this one individual is such a gaping hole in our collective souls that it would take each and every one of us make a promise to do something to make the world a better place because he's not here," Guibert says. Take PEOPLE with you! to get the latest details on celebrity news, exclusive royal updates, how-it-happened true crime stories and more — right to your mailbox. Bowen took that to heart, and with Guibert's support, he co-founded Road Recovery Foundation, which pairs music industry mentors with young people struggling with addiction and other issues to help them heal through art and performance. It was a cause, says Bowen, a former addict himself, that Jeff encouraged him to pursue. "He understood what it's like to be lost, to not fit into the equation, to be the outcast," says Bowen, who adds that the program has helped more than 50,000 young people in the 27 years it's been in operation. "And anyway he could elevate someone else, he wanted to help. Especially young people, he loved that." Read the original article on People
