Justin Bieber parties without Hailey AGAIN as he smokes joint at lowkey dive bar away from Hollywood
Over the past few months fans have been harboring concerns over Justin's health owing in part to his gaunt, hollow-eyed appearance.
He has also been trailed by rumors of marital strife with his wife Hailey Bieber and has since alluded to their relationship problems on his new album, while also affirming his commitment to her and their one-year-old son Jack Blues.
This Wednesday, Justin, 31, swung by Gunna's album release party in West Hollywood while Hailey, 28, indulged in a girls' night in the same neighborhood.
However when he stepped out this Thursday, he kept away from the usual showbiz hot spots and opted for a lowkey venue off the beaten path.
In a new Instagram album he posted Friday, Justin could be seen smoking a joint the previous night outside the dive bar Dave's on Broadway in the suburb Glendale.
First opened as a speakeasy in 1932 near the end of Prohibition, Dave's is an unassuming neighborhood bar with events like karaoke and open-mic nights.
Justin's new album included a suite of images of himself inside the bar, sitting with his male friends and getting one of the pool tables ready for a game.
His post concluded with a boomerang that showed the Baby singer, pool cue in hand, dancing joyfully in a circle near the table.
One night earlier, Justin paid a visit to the West Hollywood nightclub Zouk to attend album release party for Gunna's latest project The Last Wun.
He was accompanied by his controversial longtime friend Kyle Massey, who shot to fame on That's So Raven as the title character's little brother Cory Baxter.
Kyle, 33, entered the headlines four years ago when he was charged with felony immoral communication with a minor over allegations he sent pornographic images to a 13-year-old girl, which he strenuously denied.
A number of other women then claimed to The Daily Beast that Kyle had communicated with them on social media when they were teenage high schoolers.
Kyle was sued in 2019 over similar allegations, but the action was dropped that year after the plaintiff's lawyer withdrew from the case.
In 2015, Justin's friend Lil Twist was slapped with a yearlong prison sentence for breaking into Kyle's apartment and robbing his brother Chris Massey.
The scandals evidently have not rent the bond between the two men, who were pictured sitting close by in Justin's Instagram album about Gunna's party.
While Justin was out with Kyle this Wednesday night, Hailey was indulging in a girls' night in the same neighborhood at the swank restaurant Alba.
She was accompanied by a claque of friends including Kylie Jenner, Kendall Jenner, Bella Hadid and transgender model Alex Consani.
Although Justin addressed their marital issues on his new album Swag, he and Hailey have maintained a united front while he promotes the project.
Earlier this week he posted a loved-up Instagram album that included pictures of them snuggling up to each other and lounging side by side on picnic blankets.

Bikini-clad Livvy Dunne shows off her flexibility in stunning new pictures from Georgia lake trip
Livvy Dunne may have retired from gymnastics in April, but the former LSU star showed that she hasn't lost any flexibility as she shared a series of pictures from her Georgia lake trip. After traveling to Montauk with her MLB boyfriend Paul Skenes last month, Dunne has been spending time in Lake Oconee with her sister Julz and other friends. And the national champion gymnast showed off her skills in one photo posted to her Instagram, as she performed a handstand on the dock while wearing a leopard-print bikini. In other photos which made up the carousel post to her feed, Dunne could be seen smiling as she posed by the water in a blue swimsuit, while she and her sister Julz embraced each other in another picture. Dunne even tried her hand at water skiing, as she posted an action shot of her holding on for dear life. She captioned her post: 'The summer I turned into a lake girl.' The snaps surfaced on Saturday after Dunne shared a similarly happy picture to her story on Friday, as she beamed at the camera while sitting at a lakeside cabin. Earlier in the week, the social media influencer made headlines when she weighed in on one of the internet's most viral moments - Taylor Swift's appearance on the 'New Heights' podcast, hosted by Travis and Jason Kelce. Swift, who has faced backlash from some male NFL fans for the screen time she received while cheering on boyfriend Travis during Chiefs games, leaned into the criticism during the show. 'I think we all know that if there's one thing that male sports fans want to see in their spaces and on their screens - it's more of me,' the pop icon joked. Dunne reposted the clip to her story, adding 'She gets it' - signaling her support for Swift's response. It's been several months since Dunne - who had been a fifth-year senior at LSU - formally announced her emotional retirement from gymnastics. In a video released by LSU, she narrated: 'Time flies when you're having fun. Something said when you're enjoying yourself to the point time seems to slip away from you. And that's exactly how the past 20 years in this sport have felt. She even tried her hand at water skiing and posted and action shot of her holding on 'The highs, the lows, making the USA national team and competing for our country, every risk was worth the reward. Finishing my career over the past five years of the best university in the world has been an incredible journey, and I'm forever grateful.' She continued: 'Gymnastics, you have filled my heart and shaped be a part of me. You've shaped me into the person I am today, creating memories and sisterhoods that will last a life support. You are my first love. 'To my family, especially my parents. Thank you for everything, for supporting me through it all, and to my childhood coaches from New Jersey and the LSU coaching staff, thank you for pushing me to be great. and yes, time did fly by, and I will cherish every memory for the rest of my life. 'Thank you for everything gymnastics. You were so good to me.' While Dunne will no longer be competing in gymnastics, she's remained around the sports world as she's cheered on her boyfriend Skenes - who is considered one of the best pitchers in baseball.

Braves' Michael Harris II producing hit show against Guardians
August 17 - Classic-cartoon fanatic Michael Harris II is making the most of MLB's annual Players' Weekend, both in terms of style and production. The Atlanta Braves' starting center fielder is 4-for-9 with a homer and four RBIs in the first two games of the team's series at the Cleveland Guardians, giving them a chance at a sweep Sunday afternoon. Atlanta right-hander Erick Fedde (4-12, 5.40 ERA) will oppose Cleveland left-hander Logan Allen (7-9, 3.94) in the finale as Atlanta pursues its eighth victory in its past nine games. While most players pick one specialty bat for the weekend, Harris reached out to a designer with an advance order for five bats -- and additional game equipment -- featuring his favorite cartoon characters. Harris used a bat with the image of SpongeBob SquarePants to stroke an RBI single in Atlanta's 2-0 win Friday, while Curious George was used for a mammoth three-run homer and a Scooby-Doo for a double Saturday in a 10-1 rout on Saturday. "He loves cartoons, which is kind of unique these days," Braves manager Brian Snitker said of Harris. "I don't think most of the guys do. Even my grandchildren don't because there are so many options beyond the Saturday morning shows we all watched." Harris also purchased a sliding glove with Tom and Jerry on it, along with Scooby-Doo cleats. He plans on debuting his other two bats Sunday, when he attempts to break the franchise record with a ninth straight multi-hit game. "I'm going to try to get a hit with all (five) of them," said Harris, who hit a 452-foot homer off Guardians starter Slade Cecconi on Saturday. Harris' multi-hit-game streak is the longest in the majors this season, breaking a tie with Cincinnati's TJ Friedl, who had seven straight in May. The last Braves player with an eight-game streak was Chris Johnson in July 2013. Harris, a 24-year-old Georgia native, is batting .486 with four homers and 13 RBIs during a nine-game hitting streak. Atlanta rookie third baseman Nacho Alvarez Jr. also is on a strong run, with a career-high three hits Saturday and RBIs in back-to-back games for the first time. "That's a really good offense with a lot of guys that can hit," Guardians manager Stephen Vogt said of the Braves. "It's tough when they're starting to heat up. And when you're not pitching well, it's a tough recipe." Fedde beat the Miami Marlins in his last outing, ending a nine-game losing streak that began May 26 when he was pitching for the St. Louis Cardinals. He is 2-0 with a 2.37 ERA in four appearances against Cleveland, winning both with the Chicago White Sox in 2024. The Guardians have won Allen's last three starts, but he has only factored in the decision once. He started against the host Braves on April 26, 2024, and lost 6-2. Allen allowed four runs on five hits and two walks with five strikeouts. Cleveland is an American League-best 23-11 since July 7 but has only one run and eight hits in its first two games against the Braves, never holding the lead. Brayan Rocchio's solo homer was the only positive. "It's baseball," Vogt said. "We rattled off a ton of wins in the last month and a half, but the truth is we've lost two in a row. One win gets us back on track. Everything can change with one game." The Guardians have dropped three of their last four to fall 2 1/2 games behind the New York Yankees for the final AL wild-card position. They head on the road for six games beginning Monday. --Field Level Media

Mark Hamill admits he 'downplayed' his iconic role as Luke Skywalker in Star Wars after being snubbed from high calibre films
Despite playing one of the most iconic characters in sci-fi history, it may come as a surprise to some that Mark Hamill used to 'downplay' his role in the Star Wars trilogy. The actor, 73, is known for his famous role as Luke Skywalker in the legendary film series, but in a new interview has shared how his assocation with the franchise led him to be snubbed from some high calibre roles. Speaking to The Sunday Times Magazine, Mark shared that he used to try and gloss over his role in the original trilogy while carving out a career away from Star Wars in the 1990s. He famously starred alongside Harrison Ford and Carrie Fisher in George Lucas' original trilogy from 1977 to 1983. Mark shared that he tried to audition for a leading role in the film adaptation of Amadeus, after success playing the part on stage, but was bluntly told by director Milos Forman: 'Oh no no, the Luke Skywalker is not to be being the Mozart.' He then began to minimise mention of his Star Wars work in his Broadway credits, before his co-star Carrie issued some stern words of advice, telling him: 'Get over yourself. You're Luke Skywalker. I'm Princess Leia. Embrace it.' Mark said: 'It wasn't me that was the big star, it was the vehicle that is. Harrison is a wonderful actor. 'When I tested with him and we didn't have the whole [Star Wrs] script, I just figured he was the leading man and I was the annoying sidekick. 'People would say, ''Oh, you know Harrison got nominated for an Oscar for…'' whatever it was. I told them, ''He deserves it.'' In other words, I can't do what he does and nor would I try.' Mark added that he's content now to be known as 'a working stiff,' noting: 'As a kid I'd see these character actors on The Twilight Zone and The Dick Van Dyke Show and I filed that away. ''I love that guy. He's always good. He shows up all the time in all these different things. What's his name?'' It's me!' This summer, Mark is set to star in two Stephen King adaptations, feelgood apocalyptic film The Life Of Chuck, and harrowing dystopian horror The Long Walk. Hamill starred as Luke Skywalker in the original Star Wars trilogy; which also included 1980's Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back and 1983's Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi. He then reprised the role again in 2015's the Force Awakens. In the 2017 film The Last Jedi, Skywalker dies at the end, melding with The Force. He put on the mantel for what appeared to be the final time in 2019's The Rise of Skywalker, as Luke's spirit. Hamill previously said completing the Skywalker trilogy allowed for other adventures under the Star Wars umbrella. 'It was a whole new era for them,' the action star explained on Sunday Today. 'George (Lucas) gave them this amazing canvas, the entire galaxy. They can do westerns, mysteries, comedies, whodunits, anything within that realm of Star Wars,' he said. 'And they're doing so well' he added. 'I love Rogue One, Mandalorian, Book of Boba Fett.' Hamill made brief appearances in both The Mandalorian and The Book of Boba Fett as Luke with the help of de-aging and motion capture effects.
