Justin Bieber in good spirits as he jams with rising star Jensen McRae

Independent23-03-2025

Justin Bieber shared a vulnerable confession with his followers this weekend, while posting a clip of himself during a fun session with musicians including rising talent Jensen McRae.
The Canadian pop star, 31, appeared to be in good spirits as he was seen jamming on a keyboard while a friend played the drums, with more instruments strewn around a room with a large pool table in the middle.
Another artist messed around on synths, while friends in the garden also wandered over to watch.
Singer-songwriter and poet Jensen McRae, known for her singles 'White Boy' and 'Wolves', as well as her new track 'Praying For Your Downfall', could be seen enjoying the session and later posted a selfie with Bieber to her Instagram page.
The American artist has been named as one to watch by a number of music publications and is currently preparing for a major tour this summer, which will include stops in London, Dublin, Glasgow, Manchester and Bristol.
Bieber's footage appears to have been filmed at the singer's $26m Beverley Hills estate, which boasts seven bedrooms, a tennis court, koi pond and outdoor dining areas, plus 2.5 acres of land.
Bieber and his wife, Hailey Bieber, were reported to have purchased the home – located in one of the most sought-after gated communities in the area – back in 2021.
Bieber captioned the post: 'I think I hate myself sometimes when I feel myself start to become inauthentic.
'Then I remember we're all being made to think we're not enough but I still hate when I change myself to please people.'
A number of his followers praised him both for the clip and for his honesty, with one fan writing: 'Thank you for staying true to yourself, for being so honest and vulnerable because we know It's not always easy to be open.

'It's exhausting to be in a world that makes us question if we're enough, and even more exhausting to fight against that pressure every day. But you're aware of it, and that awareness is powerful. You're not just going along with it — you're pushing back. And that says a lot about the kind of person you are.'
The 'Peaches' singer has been frank about his negative associations with fame, having been thrown under the global spotlight when he was just 16 years old.
Last week, he shared a candid post about feeling as though he 'wasn't allowed' to express hate, which in turn made him feel like he has been 'drowning feeling unsafe to acknowledge it'.
'I think we can only let hate go by first acknowledging it's there,' he wrote. 'How couldn't we feel hate from all of the hurt we have experienced?'
In another reflective post shared earlier this month, he confessed that he frequently feels like a 'fraud', as he opened up about his tussle with imposter syndrome.
'People told me my whole life, 'Wow Justin u deserve that,'' he wrote, 'and I personally have always felt unworthy. Like I was a fraud.
'Like when people told me I deserve something, it made me feel sneaky like, damn if they only knew my thoughts… how judgemental I am, how selfish I really am, they wouldn't be saying this.'
He continued: 'I say all this to say, if you feel sneaky welcome to the club. I definitely feel unequipped and unqualified most days.'
amid concern over the singer's disheveled appearance in New York last month.
TMZ reported that the sources said Bieber had in fact been working in the studio all night 'which is why he looked a bit worse for wear'.

Madonna blasted for being a 'hypocrite' as she poses in knickers for photoshoot

The Queen of Pop, Madonna, shared a few raunchy snaps on her social media, but not all of her followers were impressed with her caption Madonna was blasted by fans for being a 'hypocrite' as she told them to 'love the skin they're in' after sharing snaps of her latest raunchy photoshoot. The Material Girl icon, 66, took to her Instagram page to share several snaps of herself donning knickers and a white vest. The singer styled her blonde locks in loose waves and rocked dark eyeshadow with simple makeup. She used a white flower as a prop as she pouted for the camera. In the caption, she wrote: "Love the Skin you're in. Happy Pride," along with the Pride flag and a blue heart emoji. ‌ ‌ She also added the hashtag, Veronica Electronica, in reference to the remix album she's releasing on July 25. The long-rumoured remix album is the accompaniment to her 1998 record, Ray of Light. While many were in awe over the photoshoot, some branded her a 'hypocrite' for her use of filters in her images. One person said: "Love the skin you're in but u use filters all the time lol." "And if you don't love the skin you're in, fill it full of injectables," another said to the star while one fan simply commented: "Oh the irony." Others were quick to compliment the star, with one user writing: "The essence of a woman who continues to defy patterns, break barriers and reaffirm her place as a symbol of reinvention and freedom." "Wow beautiful," one said while another commented: "It doesn't matter who is in office because everybody know Madonna will forever be the queen of pop." ‌ Madonna recently showcased a brunette look on social media and revealed the motivation behind her recent decision to have the makeover. She shared a series of selfies on her Instagram Story. She ditched her signature blonde hair in favour of going brunette in the photos. In one of the posts, she told her followers on the platform that there was a poignant reason being her sporting the new hairstyle. ‌ The La Isla Bonita singer revealed to her followers that the look was inspired by her late mother Madonna Fortin, who died when the Vogue singer was five. The Grammy Award winner wrote over one of the photos: "I missed my Mother so I channeled her." Following her mother's death, Madonna was raised by her father Silvio 'Tony' Ciccone, 93, and her late step-mother Joan Ciccone, who died aged 81 last year. Joan, who had briefly been a housekeeper for the family, married father-of-six Tony in 1966, three years on from his first wife's death.

Bianca Censori's sister joins Kanye's crew after denying she's dating his pal

Bianca Censori's younger sister, Angelina, has been spending time with her sibling and Kanye West in Japan after holidaying with the couple in Spain where Bianca caused quite a stir Bianca Censori's sister, Angelina, is officially part of Kanye West's crew after joining the rapper as he jet-sets around the world. Bianca, 30, has sent shockwaves through the showbiz industry since hooking up with Kanye, 48, sporting her barely-there outfits - and now Angelina has been thrust into the spotlight too. After hanging out with Kanye and his gang in Spain last month, where Bianca dropped jaws flashing her nipples in another eye-popping outfit, 20-year-old Angelina is travelling with the rapper's entourage in Japan. The Aussie model took to Instagram on Wednesday to share a series of photos of their latest trip, including images from popular chain restaurant WAGYUMAFIA and snaps of the Japanese skyline. ‌ Kanye West bizarrely 'changes name again' four years after complete rebrand ‌ Meanwhile, a photo of Kanye posing in designer vintage store Amore in Japan also emerged online. The Jesus Walks star sported a plain black hooded jumper with the hood pulled over his head for the shopping trip as he posed without cracking a smile. A second image also emerged showing graffiti scrawled on a wall that read: 'Ye is GOD,' while a third showed the name of Kanye and ex-wife Kim Kardashian's eldest child North West. During her trip with the controversial rapper, Angelina rubbished rumours she was dating Kanye business partner, Sneako. The whispers came after she shared a series of photos from their Mallorca trip, which included Sneako posing for the camera at a luxury waterfront property Kanye was believed to be staying in while Angelina stunned in a silver string bikini. ‌ Fans flocked to social media, suggesting Angelina and Sneako were more than just friends. However, the model shut down any romance rumours by writing on X: "We are not dating." It comes after Bianca 'horrified' locals in Spain when she paraded through the quiet streets of Mallorca in her bra and knickers. ‌ Witnesses say locals were left horrified by Bianca's outfit choice for their market tour, with one even heard asking if that was her "real nipple" as she bared all in her the sheer bra. "People were horrified. They could be heard asking 'is that her real nipple?' as they walked by. Kanye was standing back a little, letting her browse the market," a witness told ‌ Bianca might have been hit by backlash, but women have been allowed to go topless in some areas of Spain since 2020. Under Catalan equality law, women can sunbathe topless in public places without fear of arrest and authorities can be fined a huge £430,000 if they prevent women from being able to go topless. However, while she didn't break any laws, people were left fuming by the Aussie's outfit choice. "Why hasn't this woman been arrested for indecency yet!!!?' one person wrote on X, with another adding: "We have literally seen it all, even when we didn't want to,' another said, while a third wrote: 'So disrespectful to the country and their modest views." Another fumed: "How do they get away with this nudity? If any other non-celeb tried it, they would be arrested."
