Megan Thee Stallion parties with Justin Bieber as she shows off her assets in sizzling Coachella week two look
Megan Thee Stallion rubbed shoulders with Justin Bieber when they attended a party Friday night to kick off weekend two of Coachella.
The 30-year-old rapper and the 31-year-old pop superstar both appeared to perform briefly at the party, which featured other A-list stars.
The rapper was likely hoping for a pristine show later on Sunday after her first-weekend set left fans furious due to technical mishaps.
Though her look from Friday night wasn't one of her most flattering, it showcased her stellar figure and impressive weight loss.
The performer shared views of her ensemble to Instagram on Saturday, after she joined other A-list stars at the Desert, a private event in Thermal, California.
The event — which was hosted by the Tao Group Hospitality, REVOLVE, and the Palm Tree Club — featured Justin singing his song What Do You Mean?, according to the organizers.
Bieber looked overjoyed and could be seen grinning ear to ear while catching up with other attendees as he hung out in the DJ booth. It wasn't clear if he and Megan did much socializing
Bieber looked overjoyed and could be seen grinning ear to ear while catching up with other attendees as he hung out in the DJ booth.
Although Justin and Megan were both spotted partying, it wasn't clear if they spent much time together at the event.
Megan's outfit featured a black halter bra top that put her prominent cleavage on full display.
The top featured a black band underneath that was covered with silver studs, and it matched the waistband of her charcoal Who Decides War jeans.
Although Megan's jeans weren't offered on the brand's website, similar designs sell for anywhere from $500 to $1,200 or more.
Her dark pants were decorated with odd brown leather patches, as well as a much larger Who Decides patch along the side of her leg.
She paired the jeans, which went from dark gray to tan farther down the legs, with tan work boots that matched the bottom of the pants.
Megan wore her jeans low, which showcased her stunningly flat midriff and let her high-cut g-string pop out over the waistband.
She also appeared to have tied a gray patterned scarf around the g-string for an extra flourish that only made the look busier.
The WAP rapper wore a thick silver chain with a cross dangling from it, as well as enormous silver hoop earrings that were big enough to put someone's arm through.
She added a splash of color to the otherwise muted look with a long red wig with tight waves that reached down to her thighs and framed her heavily made-up face.
The previous weekend, Megan's Coachella set went awry due to technical problems and an unshakeable curfew.
The hitmaker — who put on a stunningly busty display at an Oscars afterparty last month — began to have issues about 20 minutes into her red-hot performance, when she cried out that something was wrong with her microphone, according to The Independent.
Although a backstage helper was able to solve the issue, Megan's microphone was also implicated in a disappointing ending to the first-weekend set.
According to SFGate, she appeared to be about to launch into another tune toward the end of her show when her microphone abruptly cut out, apparently because she had gone two minutes past her scheduled end time.
Megan's initial sound issues appeared to begin when her attached microphone reportedly fell off her bustier amid her athletic, high-energy dance routines.
'Somebody come out here and fix my motherf****** mic!' she could be heard shouting from other microphones that were still working.
A member of her crew could be seen running on stage and helping reattached the microphone.
Megan gave them a quick thank you and then continued with her performance as if nothing had happened.
'That man putting Megan Thee Stallion's mic on her bustier had the most stressful high-pressure job ever,' one fan joked on X.
Another wrote: 'Megan Thee Stallion's sweet little "thank youuuu" after this heavy a** song and hollering "someone come fix my f***ing mic" is so cute lol.'
Minutes later, she brought out a special guest, Queen Latifah, and Victoria Monét joined her later in the set.
Ciara also made a surprise appearance to team up with Megan to perform her 2004 song Goodies.
Fans on social media, many of whom caught the show through the livestream broadcast, were stunned by the performance, particularly Megan's athletic vocals.
Several people posted that 'Megan Thee Stallion's mic is on,' meaning that she wasn't just lip syncing her performance so as not to become breathless while trying to rap.
Fans were astounded at how Megan wasn't fazed by her microphone malfunctioning

The moment left fans with a sour taste in their mouths. Viewers of the livestream could still hear the rapper's mic, but audience members at the festival heard nothing over muted speakers
On Reddit, a user posted a meme of Oprah Winfrey asking 'Were you silent? Or were you SILENCED?' which originally was featured in her interview of Meghan Markle
However, one fan noted that, although her microphone was definitely on, she still needed the cushioning of the backing track due to how much dancing she was doing.
But after averting one crisis, Megan's show ended on a sour note.
After she had finished her popular song Bil Ole Freak, Megan appeared to be about to launch into another tune, Mamushi.
The massive LED screens were reportedly cued up for the song, and viewers at home could hear the start of the backing track for the song.
However, people in the audience at Coachella heard none of that, as the speakers were turned off around 9:27 p.m., around two minutes after her scheduled end time, according to SFGate.
Megan's microphone also appeared to have cut off, and the visuals for Mamushi were replaced on the screens by a camera feed of the stage.
Megan reportedly vented her frustrations into her microphone, which went unheard at the festival but did make it through to livestream viewers.
'Don't y'all do the hotties like that,' she reportedly cried out, adding, 'Run Mamushi back for the motherf***ing hotties.' Megan finally gave up, declaring, 'B****, they said we gotta go!'
But Megan still silently ran through the choreography for the song for around a minute, before she took a bow and said farewell to the audience, which was also not heard.
'The sound out. Damn, they turned off Megan Thee Stallion mic out! Damn, she didn't even do an hour got AWKWARD throwing us off silencing her,' one furious fan wrote on X.
On Reddit, a user posted a meme of Oprah Winfrey asking 'Were you silent? Or were you SILENCED?' which originally was featured in her interview of Meghan Markle.
Megan Thee Stallion was followed by closing headliner Post Malone, who reportedly took the stage around 10:25 p.m.

You've been drinking beer wrong and it's likely you've been doing it for years
Beer lovers, this one's for you. If you've been drinking beer all your life, you'll be surprised to find out you've probably been doing it wrong - according to an expert As the sun shines, many Brits flock to beer gardens for a refreshing pint with mates, but it turns out we might be enjoying our brews all wrong. From guzzling too quickly to choosing the incorrect glass, there are several faux pas you're likely committing when it comes to your pint. Grace Daley, Cruzcampo's UK senior brand manager, has revealed that a traditional pint glass might not be the best choice for your beer, which could shock many die-hard ale experts. Grace shared insights on why Cruzcampo is often served in a chalice to keep the beer "remains cold" and maintain the "lively" effervescence, as opposed to a standard pint glass. Grace advises beer enthusiasts to sip their drink "slowly", engaging "all your senses" to transform each gulp into an experience rather than hastily consuming without appreciation. For those aiming to impress as a "real expert", she suggests letting the flavour "glide over your tongue from front to back". Moreover, Grace warned against storing beer in the freezer or exposing it to direct sunlight, as these conditions can adversely affect the beer's taste. Beer isn't just for toasting; it can complement a fine meal as well. Forget what you know about wine pairings - beer has entered the chat, and according to one enthusiast, Cruzcampo is best enjoyed alongside tapas, because "the crisp, malty and slightly sweet taste, with a hint of bitterness cuts through rich, full-flavoured tapas". But that's not all - the way we've been drinking wine could be all muddled up too. Heather Muriello, a savvy New York-based booze expert, shared her wisdom on Instagram to her 10k fans, promising to elevate everyone's wine skills, especially when entertaining. She suggested in her post on her @winefarer page: "Have you heard of the 20/20 rule for wine?" She goes on to reveal the insider tip: "Learn this game-changing 20/20 rule in wine. Chill your reds in the fridge 20 minutes before serving to unleash their complex flavours, while letting whites rest out of the fridge for 20 minutes to reveal their full bouquet and bright acidity."

How a park under NYC's formerly 'most hated' bridge became its coolest venue
The walk from the Graham Avenue L station was just 30 minutes, but on the first really warm day of the early summer as the shaded sidewalks of Williamsburg disappeared into an increasingly industrial, treeless landscape, I kept wondering if the schlep would actually be worth it. When I arrived at my destination under the Kosciuszko Bridge (I can hear my father chuckling in disbelief), I was more than pleasantly surprised. This was June 2021 and I was there for Reggae Under the Bridge —one of the early, legally-sanctioned events held after the most strict Covid regulations had been lifted. My whole community and many more were there enjoying the sun, cool shade and—well into the evening—deep cuts blasting out of a massive sound system that overlooked the Newtown Creek and the eastern Manhattan skyline. It was absolutely joyous. Today, Under the K-Bridge has become one of New York's most unique and hippest venues. The 6.7-acre site—an open-air, multiuse space owned by the State Department of Transportation and run by the North Brooklyn Parks Alliance—has seen everything from events held by House of Yes to massively-attended DJ sets from popular electronic acts like Björk and Four Tet (whose recent set featured a surprise appearance from Skrillex). Alternative acts have taken to the space too: Hardcore punk group Turnstile performed at the K-Bridge in early June and CBGB Fest will bring the likes of Iggy Pop, the Sex Pistols and the Linda Lindas to the space in late September. View this post on Instagram A post shared by The Bowery Presents (@bowerypresents) 'Under the K-Bridge wants to take all my money this summer,' says Brooklyn-based writer Ana Yglesias, who plans to attend Ladyland Festival with Cardi B and FKA Twigs in June. Bands, bookers and fans like Yglesias are drawn to Under the K-Bridge for its only-in-New-York vibe. 'Under the K-Bridge offers such a unique experience for New Yorkers, something very raw, gritty and for the music,' says GRAMMY-winning South African DJ Black Coffee, whose two-night stand at the venue in 2024 drew thousands. 'You feel like you're part of a secret.' 'You're in the trendiest neighborhoods in New York, Greenpoint, Williamsburg, and then it kind of becomes this industrial neighborhood that you can't quite figure out what you're getting into,' says Jim Glancy, copartner of Bowery Presents, the main agency booking the venue. 'Then you start to hear music, and you're under this bridge and there's five or six or seven thousand people with sound and lights and this incredible music, and I think it is just touching people in a pretty incredible way.' Katie Denny Horowitz, executive director of the North Brooklyn Parks Alliance, points to a unique juxtaposition of nature and development. '[Under the K-Bridge exists] against the backdrop of the kind of gritty New York City that, I think, a lot of people are yearning for. It is not a fake space. It is a space that you do not just come across. You feel like you're part of a secret.' The park is situated directly under the BQE between Van Dam Street and Newtown Creek—a place that once seemed largely inaccessible due to the industrial business zone surrounding it and the traffic overhead. When a $1 billion makeover of the original Kosciuszko Bridge (the city's 'most hated,' per the New York Times) was completed in 2019, the Parks Alliance was already working on a plan to build out the space underneath the bridge's southern span. The Alliance held community workshops and visioning sessions, eventually landing on a multiuse space that included a skate park and a small amphitheater. Crucially for music lovers, 'large-scale events were something that was part of [the park's] DNA before shovels even hit the ground,' Denny Horowitz says. Following an illegal rave and a couple of break-ins by excitable skaters, the space officially opened in June 2021. Because the park is owned by the state rather than the city, Under the K-Bridge was subject to slightly different Covid regulations around gatherings. The Alliance's rollout of live events was incremental, beginning with community programming like Reggae Under the Bridge and House of Yes's Summer of Love. The Alliance partnered with Bowery Presents—which operates venues like Brooklyn Steel and Webster Hall, and worked with NBPA to program concerts at McCarren Park Pool a decade prior—in 2024. Last year, Bowery presented nine shows at the K-Bridge; this year it has 15 planned. 'This is obviously a completely raw space that isn't on everyone's radar at this point,' says Glancy. 'The first few shows we've had [this season], we've had industry out and they're just losing their minds about how cool it is. So I think over time, more and more artists will hear about it.' Hosting concerts Under the K-Bridge isn't without issue, however. There are no services—porta-potties must be brought in and there's nothing resembling the back-of-house infrastructure of an established venue. That austere atmosphere might lend itself more to an electronic DJ who has fewer crew on the road and requires less backline, or a punk band more attuned to the rough-hewn aesthetic of the place. 'It's also a public park with no public funding. Every dollar that is used to maintain the park… whether it's seating or horticultural features, we have to raise,' Denny Horowitz says. 'Part of the funding model was to be able to have events there that could earn enough revenue to actually pay to support the park.' Which isn't to say Under the K-Bridge has been an unprofitable venture. Glancy characterized Bowery's 2024 series on site as 'absolutely positive' while 2025 'looks good'—even for a business with tight margins. However, given the level of build required for each show, Under the K-Bridge is best fit for artists who can command higher ticket prices. Tickets to Turnstile's June 5 show are around $110 as of writing; Jamie xx, who will perform over two nights in early August, commands up to $153 for VIP admission. The North Brooklyn Parks Alliance has been host to about two dozen shows each outdoor season since 2021 and has no plans to slow down. They're working toward becoming a zero-waste event space and also plan to continue working with community organizers on free events. 'We steered away from creating this identity for the space, because it has organically achieved this reputation for attracting folks from all over the city,' Denny Horowitz says. 'The bridge itself is so mesmerizing. It has the light show from above, you have these columns overhead. That is something that isn't a visual and physical presence in any other space.'

Loose Women star lands huge new job just days after ITV daytime cull amid cash crisis
The Sun previously revealed how Loose Women is in chaos backstage with some of the stars doing the show 'through gritted teeth' as they face a 60 per cent pay cut big gig Loose Women star lands huge new job just days after ITV daytime cull amid cash crisis LOOSE Women star Judi Love has landed a huge new job just days after ITV announced their daytime cull. The ITV show's line-up had been left in the dark about cuts to their lunchtime talk show, which will take effect from January amid a cash crisis. 3 Lose Women star Judi Love has landed a huge new job amid ITV's daytime cull Credit: Rex Sweeping changes announced earlier this month mean the female-led, lunchtime talk show will only air for 30 weeks a year. So, it's a good job Judi, 44, has bagged herself a lucrative podcasting gig to keep the cash rolling in. The comedian announced on Instagram today that the first episode of Our Table will be released tomorrow. Fellow Loose Woman Charlene White is joining her, along with actor David Gyasi, comedian Michelle Deswarte and actress Deborah Ayorinde. She wrote: "Our Table will launch on Friday, the 30th, on YouTube and all major podcast platforms! "We have an exciting series lined up, featuring incredible guests and engaging conversations. Join us at Our Table!! #Ourtable #JudiLove." A second post saw the Strictly star posed with her special guests ahead of the series premiere. The Sun previously revealed how Loose Women is in chaos backstage with some of the stars doing the show 'through gritted teeth' as they face a 60 per cent pay cut. An insider told us: 'It's very tense backstage as the cast are all fuming. It's like they're putting on a brave face and doing the show through gritted teeth. 'Some people's pay could be cut by 60% as some get paid by the episode and they'll be slashed next year. ITV Daytime Shake-Up: Major Changes to Lorraine and Loose Women Revealed 'For some it's their main source of income and it's worrying to everyone.' This comes after an ITV source revealed: "We are not planning any radical changes to the panel. "All of our Loose Women are hugely valued and we celebrate each and every one and the experience and opinions they bring to the show every day. "Many of our long standing panellists have appeared on the show for the majority of its 25 year run on screens and those stalwart, Loose legends are at the core of the show's success and hugely popular with the audience. "The show remains a big priority within our daytime slate, having secured a BAFTA nomination, launched a podcast and celebrated a milestone anniversary in the last year alone." MORE ITV CUTS Loose Women isn't the only show affected by recently announced changes at ITV, that will come into play in 2026. Lorraine Kelly's show has been cut to just 30 minutes a day and will also only air for 30 weeks of the year. Good Morning Britain, with hosts including Susanna Reid, Ed Balls and Kate Garraway, will take half an hour from Lorraine and will run from 6am to 9.30am. More than 220 jobs will be lost as part of the shake-up — almost half of the 450 employed on the four flagship shows GMB, Lorraine, This Morning and Loose Women. ITV's daytime TV schedule changes in full Good Morning Britain will be extended by 30 minutes to run from 6am to 9.30am daily. Lorraine will run from 9.30am-10am, on a seasonal basis for 30 weeks of the year. During the weeks Lorraine is not on air, Good Morning Britain will run from 6am to 10am. This Morning will remain in its 10am-12.30pm slot on weekdays throughout the year. Loose Women will be in the 12.30-1.30pm slot, again on a seasonal basis for 30 weeks of the year. The changes will take effect from January 2026. 3 She's bagged herself a lucrative podcasting gig Credit: Instagram
