Justin Timberlake screams at crew mid-show onstage in wild outburst
Justin Timberlake, 44, was caught screaming at his stage crew earlier this month during a show at the Lytham Festival in Lytham St Annes, England.
The wild outburst unfolded after the 'SexyBack' singer's set was temporarily cut short due to a sound issue at the Lytham Green venue on July 5, according to a TikTok video shared by a fan in attendance.

The incident occurred early in Timberlake's set and came as he performed his 2002 hit 'Cry Me a River,' which has long been rumored to be about his nasty split from ex-girlfriend Britney Spears.

But despite the sound cutting out and Timberlake's shocking outburst, another video showed the audience cheering and singing along to finish the song for the frustrated *NSYNC alum.

Once the sound issue was resolved, Timberlake returned to the Lytham Festival stage and jumped into his 2024 hit 'No Angels' without a problem.
However, the 'Rock Your Body' singer still faced backlash after the shouting video went viral.

Several of Timberlake's fans rushed to social media to slam him over the 'unprofessional' outburst.
'Losing it with your support crew is considered highly unprofessional in the world of stage performance,' one person commented on TikTok.
'He's mad about anything and everything,' another fan wrote. 'How embarrassing!' tweeted a third.

Other fans defended Timberlake and argued that the singer's frustrations were justified.
'He hardly looks like he's losing it. Just annoyed. I would be too,' one person wrote on the TikTok video.
'I don't blame him for being a bit peeved he's trying to entertain his fans that paid money to see him,' a second fan added. 'It was great that the fans stepped in to help him.'

'As he should. He's a professional. This is his craft,' commented a third person.

Meanwhile, the 'Mirrors' singer's surprising festival blowup came just a few months after he faced backlash for abruptly canceling his final stop on his Forget Tomorrow World Tour in Ohio after coming down with the flu.
'You guys. I'm heartbroken,' he wrote on Instagram in February, just minutes before the show was scheduled to start. 'I have to cancel the show tonight. I went into soundcheck battling the flu and now it's gotten the best of me.'
Despite promising refunds, fans still slammed Timberlake for the last-minute notice.

The 'Selfish' singer also made headlines just over a year ago when he was arrested for suspicion of DWI in Sag Harbor, New York, in June 2024.
Timberlake ended up pleading guilty to a lesser charge of driving while ability impaired in September.
Timberlake has been married to actress Jessica Biel, 43, since 2012.
The pair shares two sons – Silas, 10, and Phineas, 4 – with Biel recently revealing the 'scary' about raising kids with the 'Suit & Tie' pop star.

Sobbing influencers blame ChatGPT for ruining a dream vacation
AI is only as intelligent as its users. An influencer couple has gone viral after missing their flight to Puerto Rico — thanks, they claim, to a visa mix-up caused by ChatGPT. An influencer is claiming that ChatGPT gave her the wrong information for her international trip, which caused her to miss her flight. Getty Images Advertisement In a now-viral TikTok video, which has clocked over 13 thousand views, Mery Caldass — a content creator with nearly 100,000 followers — can be seen in tears, roaming the airport as her boyfriend, Alejandro Cid, tries to console her. 'Look, I always do a lot of research, but I asked ChatGPT and they said no,' Caldass, speaking Spanish, tearfully explains, referring to whether the couple was required to obtain a visa to visit Puerto Rico. However, if they had checked official government sites, they would have learned that while Spanish citizens don't need a visa, they do need an ESTA (Electronic System for Travel Authorization). Advertisement Unfortunately for the couple, they relied on artificial intelligence without fact-checking it. Adding some comic relief to her meltdown, Caldass accused ChatGPT of holding a grudge. 'Look, I always do a lot of research, but I asked ChatGPT and they said no,' Mery Caldass tearfully explains, referring to whether the couple was required to obtain a visa to visit Puerto Rico. TikTok/merycaldass 'I don't trust that one anymore because sometimes I insult him. I call him a bastard, you're useless, but inform me well … that's his revenge.' Advertisement Some users have applauded her ability to find humor amid her devastation. Others were less forgiving. @merycaldass si hay una revolución de las IAs voy a ser la primera 4niquil-hada🧚♀️ ♬ sonido original – Mery Caldass 'Well, natural selection, I guess,' wrote one unimpressed commenter. 'If you are going to take a transoceanic trip and you put all your advice in ChatGPT, little has happened to you.' Another added, 'But who trusts ChatGPT for those types of situations?' Advertisement To be fair to the AI, some commenters defended ChatGPT, pointing out that the couple may have simply asked the wrong question — they didn't need a visa, but they never asked about an ESTA. The pair eventually made it to the island to catch a show by one of their favorite artists, Bad Bunny. Caldass and Cid's travel tragedy follows hot on the heels of other AI horror stories. Dangerous advice from ChatGPT recently landed a 60-year-old man in the hospital with hallucinations, instructed 13-year-olds how to get drunk and high, and sabotaged women by advising them to ask for lower salaries.

The moment an owner captured her cat staring at a photo on the wall left viewers in a puddle of tears when they learned which picture made him stop in his tracks. TikTok user @ said the family's 13-year-old German shepherd, Rocco, recently crossed over the rainbow bridge. His absence left a giant hole in their hearts, especially for their cat, Louie, as he's navigating a new normal without his friend. Pets often feel the loss of humans or other animals because the structure and dynamic of the family changes, according to an article from the University of Florida College of Veterinary Medicine. Like humans, pets who live together bond. Grieving pets might show new behaviors, such as searching for lost sibling, increase or decrease of vocalization, changes in amount of attention wanted, appetite, mood and personality. @ Our beautiful 13 year old German Shepherd, Rocco, went to heaven on 7/11/25. I caught our sweet cat, Louie, just sitting on the edge of the couch staring at Rocco's picture. We are all grieving the loss of our furry family member. Animals share our emotions, love them while you have them. We all miss him so very much.💔pets germanshepherd catspetloss petlossgrief petlosssupport furbabies ♬ Feelings - Jurrivh In the July 26 TikTok video, the owner captured a heartbreaking moment of the cat missing his friend.

Louie paused, then lowered himself all the way to the couch. Stretching out his paws, he reached for his sibling's picture. The owner shared in the comment section: "I appreciate everyone's comments, my heart is so broken. I was in awe just watching this moment, sobbing my heart out. Sad, yet so beautiful to see the love we all share with one another. Pets are family, this dog was our baby boy. His absence is gut-wrenching."

A couple transformed a simple shed into a cozy library. The 'escape from reality' cost more than $18,000.
For a long time, she'd spend her mornings reading in her bedroom before her daughter woke up. The routine was fine, but could have been better. Ciesla wanted a devoted reading space where she could curl up with a book and escape reality — even if only for an hour each day. So, Ciesla, her fianc TJ Robinson, and a friend renovated a shed in their backyard into a cozy library. Now, the pink oasis is a dream for readers everywhere. Jess Ciesla discovered her love for reading in 2022. Ciesla wasn't always a voracious reader. Instead, the Virginia local picked up the hobby after giving birth to her daughter."I was struggling with postpartum depression, and we don't live around a lot of family," she said. "The first book I read was 'Verity' by Colleen Hoover, and it kind of took over. Reading became something that I really love to do." Ciesla had been watching videos from @amystinylibrary on TikTok and realized she could follow in the creator's footsteps to make her own library shed."I half jokingly asked my fianc how many likes I would need on a TikTok to get my own," she told Business Insider. "He played along and said 100,000. He would've got me one regardless.""I posted the video and it doubled the goal in less than 24 hours, so we just went for it," she added. Robinson's best friend is an electrician with experience in construction, so he helped the couple through their renovation a breakdown of what they added to the structure and what each part cost:Electricity (indoors and out): $250Insulation materials: $320Rented insulation blower: $250Shiplap for the walls and ceiling: $540Cooling and warming window unit: $500Floor panels: $393Trim: $50Caulk: $17 Robinson and his friend had never built bookshelves, Ciesla said, and the process was more difficult than they'd initially spent a full day constructing the shelves on the shed's ground before securing them to the wall the next day."I think they did a great job," she said, adding that the bookshelves cost $900. Ciesla and her fianc didn't set a budget for this project. They spent about $18,380. Additional costs included a $140 chandelier and $1,875 worth of "fun stuff," like furniture and decor."It was a little surprising at the end how much we paid," she said. "We didn't think the bookshelves would be that much. But everything else, we were pretty much expecting."The process was also relatively quick. Though it spanned three months, Robinson and his friend only worked on the space during two weekends and one extra were complete by July 6. She complemented the space's pink walls and glass chandelier with rose vines, floral curtains, and more. Inside Ciesla's library, you'll find decorative plants, framed photos, a fuzzy rug, and about 275 books."There's lots of room to keep building my collection," Ciesla said. Ciesla describes her library as an "escape from reality." Ciesla, a budding content creator, has gained over 32,000 TikTok followers who have watched her create this library. One of her most viral videos about the space has 5.9 million viewers will be happy to know she plans to keep going. In the coming months, Ciesla hopes to add a porch, a decorated walkway outside, landscaping, and the meantime, though, she's enjoying every second she gets to spend inside."As a mom and someone who has a loud brain that never really turns off, it's so grounding to have a little escape from reality where I can do something I genuinely love," Ciesla said. "It's honestly not just about the books," she added. "It's about having a space where I can reconnect with myself and breathe. Every person deserves to have a place like that."
