Justin Timberlake sparks concern as fans demand refund for 'bare minimum' concerts
Cry Me A River star, Justin Timberlake, has sparked concern over his appearance at his latest gig, with some fans claiming the singer looked 'tired' and 'withdrawn' Justin Timberlake has worried fans with his appearance ahead of his final Forget Tomorrow World Tour show. The Cry Me A River star, 44, is due to wrap up his year-long tour on July 30, but some fans have expressed concern for the dad-of-two - while others have demanded a refund. Justin, who is married to Hollywood actress, Jessica Biel, has been accused of 'hardly singing' and putting on 'lazy' performances during the gigs following a string of 'embarrassing and bare minimum' shows. As he took to the stage in Georgia last week, his supporters urged the SexyBack star to 'take a break and recharge' following the damning backlash he has received. Sticking up for the singer, they wrote: "I can't believe it's almost over! Going to miss you so much, but I know you are TIRED!!! So rest up good and we can do it all over again!" Meanwhile, another said: "I saw you in Atlanta in November and you were amazing. Best concert I've been to. I think you just need a break and to recharge. You've been doing this tour for a year." However, others weren't as understanding as they demanded their money back following the 'lacklustre' shows. One said: "Why is he treating performing like a side job?! How many words did you sing?'" Meanwhile, another quipped: "When are the audience getting paid for their performance? Imagine paying $600 to watch the crowd at a Justin Timberlake concert sing his songs." One insider told the Daily Mail that Justin is 'in a rut' after shooting to fame with the Disney Club as a child and then later boy band, N-Sync, and desperately 'needs to do something new.' After he played in Romania, a viral TikTok received thousands of likes after a fan who paid 'a lot of money' to see the Senorita star called him 'an absolute disappointment.' Justin was late getting onstage, and then reportedly only sang a few words of each song, according to ticket-holders. Expressing their disappointment, the TikTok user shared: "You can't be singing two songs and then taking a break," before calling Justin's behaviour "rude" and "disrespectful" before asking him to "rethink" the concept behind his tour. Many agreed with the claims and multiple fans demanded a refund. Justin's world tour has been marred with controversy since his DWAI arrest in the Hamptons, US, last year where he hit the headlines when he told the officer: "This is going to ruin the tour". The star was sentenced to community service last September after a judge rejected a 'disappointing' plea deal that would have let the singer off with a small fine and public statement about his Hamptons drunk-driving arrest. Justin pleaded guilty to a lesser charge of driving while alcohol impaired instead of the more serious charge of driving while intoxicated and told the judge: "'I should've had better judgment. I understand the seriousness of this.'

Brits' most cherished life moments revealed: from first kisses to newborn cuddles
According to research, Brits will go through five unforgettable moments a year, with three-quarters believing these distinctive experiences help shape who they are. These significant occasions include holding your newborn baby, watching a child take their first steps, or waving your youngster off on their first day of school. However, it's not solely about children - other crucial moments featured taking your first solo drive after passing your test, seeing a rare natural spectacle or welcoming a new pet into your home. Samsung commissioned the research to mark the launch of the large screen optimised Galaxy Z Fold7, unveiling a poem called 'Life Unfolds Fast', narrated by Martin Kemp and penned by poet Georgie Jones. The poem explores the milestones that shape our lives, while the film features intimate moments from Martin's family life and real-life footage from people of different ages, backgrounds, and identities. "Some of my life's greatest memories are those simple moments at home," Martin said, "playing with my kids in the garden, holding Harley and Roman as babies, and singing with my wife in the car. "These are moments that truly define our lives," Martin added. "Sharing these personal glimpses allows people to see how small, intimate moments become the big memories we want to go back to over again." The majority of people regularly revisit cherished memories on their phones either to reflect on special moments, boost their mood, or share their good times with others. In fact, two thirds value their digital memories just as much as physical keepsakes. But almost half worry about forgetting important life events, as they expressed concern about losing memories involving loved ones. Therefore, capturing photographs and videos proves essential to preserving these experiences. Generally, adults will revisit these pivotal memories on their mobiles approximately four times monthly, with 12 per cent estimating they possess over 10 hours of stored footage. Annika Bizon, from Samsung, which has Galaxy AI enabled within its slimmest foldable yet, said: "Our research shows that over 40 per cent of us take photos and videos for the sole purpose to not forget our best memories. "It allows you to capture and revisit the memories you never want to forget, feeling their warmth and emotion time and time again." TOP 25 UNFORGETTABLE MOMENTS: Holding your newborn baby for the first time Watching your baby take their first steps Getting the keys to your first home The last goodbye to a loved one Your child's first day of school Falling in love for the first time Witnessing a child's first words Driving a car on your own for the first time Being told 'I love you' and saying it back Being proposed to - or proposing to someone Seeing your family all together in one place Listening to your baby's heartbeat during a pregnancy scan Watching someone you love achieve something they've worked hard for Seeing the Northern Lights or witnessing a rare natural phenomenon Graduating from school or university Reaching a goal you've worked towards for years Watching a child in your life perform in a school play Hugging / being reunited with someone you haven't seen in years Seeing a loved one return home safely after time away Getting your first job offer Walking out of work on your last day before retirement Bringing a new pet home and welcoming it into the family Watching your favourite sports team win in a big match Completing something you never thought you could do (e.g. a marathon) Saying goodbye to your pet

Axed Scots Gogglebox couple release heartfelt statement as fans left gutted over exit
Gogglebox stars Roisin Kelly and Joe Kelly have been brutally dumped from the show after three and half years. Gogglebox fan favourite couple Roisin Kelly and Joe Kyle have released a heartfelt statement after they were brutally dumped from the Channel 4 show. The beloved duo, who hail from Glasgow, shocked social media on Monday evening when they announced they had been axed from the programme after three and a half years despite being one of the most popular couples among Gogglebox fans. Roisin, who celebrated her 27th birthday earlier this week, took to her social media accounts on Instagram and TikTok to announce the sad news that she and Joe, 28, had not made the cut for season 26. The pair have released an emotional joint statement following their departure. It reads: "After three and a half years of sitting on the sofa, Channel 4 have decided it's time for Joe and I to stretch our legs and have not asked us back for season 26. Therefore we are leaving the Gogglebox family. We couldn't be more grateful to Studio Lambert for the opportunity, the experience has actually been so mad and we will miss watching tv with you all on Friday nights! "It's been an honour to represent Scotland as some of the first Scottish people on the show and prove we don't actually need subtitles." She continued: "We have made friends for life and after filming every week for years you have become like our family! We could not have asked for better people to work with and we will miss you immensely. "A huge thank you to everyone who has watched us, met us and supported us during this experience, it has for sure been a once in a lifetime opportunity. "Time to watch TV in silence for a bit and put down the popcorn. Miss you already, Roisin and Joe." Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

Channel 4 have now been advised by viewers that they have made a huge 'mistake' in axing the Scots couple who captured viewers hearts with their hilarious banter during their time on the show. Underneath Roisin's post on TikTok, one fan fumed: "That's a stupid decision by ch4/gogglebox! Sorry to hear this." A second chimed in: "Gutted! Their loss though." A third echoed: "Nooo you were a favourite in our house! Very stupid move from Channel 4." Roisin and Joe were the only Scottish cast members left on the show and fans have been quick to point out that Scotland is no longer being represented on the programme. One complained: "Aw man, this is s****. No Scottish voices on the show anymore! You were great." Another wrote: "Hate this! It was nice to have Scottish people and the West of Scotland sense of humour represented on TV, not worth watching anymore." A third added: "Oh no way! Typical because they are Scottish." Fans are hoping it won't be the last they'll see of Roisin and Joe on their screens and their Gogglebox axe means Roisin may now find the time to return to her podcast, Nags and Brags, which she co-hosts with pal and Clyde 1 breakfast show broadcaster, Cassi Gillespie. Nags and Brags covers a variety of subjects, from dating woes to fashion faux pas, with the show temporarily being put on hiatus while Roisin and Cassie juggled their other work commitments.
