BREAKING NEWS Jake Paul furiously storms off Piers Morgan's TV show mid-interview after dropping brutal insult
Jake Paul dramatically cut short a fiery interview with Piers Morgan after a foul-mouth tirade in which he branded the controversial TV host a 'fat a**'.
The YouTuber-turned-boxing star appeared on 'Piers Morgan Uncensored' ahead of his latest fight, against Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. in Anaheim on June 28.
But he stormed off the show in fury after Morgan questioned his boxing resume.
' YouTube this, YouTube that, Disney that. This s*** is not a joke. I'm knocking out the best of the best. You vs. going to the gym... you're still a fat a**,' Paul said.
'I think the problem here, Piers, is that you think that your opinion matters,' he later told the TV anchor.
When Morgan questioned why, then, he had come on the show, the YouTuber said: 'I'm just taking your audience to sell Pay-Per-Views. I don't give a f*** about your show.
'You dumb a**. This is a f***ing business enterprise. Buy the Pay-Per-View on Saturday, June 28 - me vs Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. Thank you, tune in everybody.'
Paul then dropped off the Zoom call, prompting hysterical laughter from Morgan, who said: 'Cheers Jake, really enjoyed that. And good luck to Julio. Knock him out for all of us, will you?'
Earlier, the TV host had called out Paul over his 11-1 record in professional boxing. 'The only proper boxer you've fought was Tommy Fury and he beat you,' he said.
'Peak (Mike) Tyson you wouldn't have lasted 10 seconds... Canelo Alvarez says he would potentially kill you.'

Experience: I won a Timothée Chalamet lookalike contest
When I first saw the flyer for the Timothée Chalamet lookalike contest last October, I thought it was a joke. Lookalike contests were not mainstream yet. It was also taking place in New York's Washington Square Park – a place I usually associate with chaos. But last year a TikTok of me at a London barbershop went viral before because people thought I resembled Timothée. So, a day before the contest, I headed to a charity shop and picked out an outfit that made me look like Timothée's Willy Wonka. Why not? I was shocked by the size of the crowd on the day. There were thousands there and I was swarmed by people wanting photos. Before the contest even began, the police had arrived to shut it down. We relocated to a nearby park. It was later announced that Timothée had crashed the contest but left when the cops arrived. I missed his visit entirely. Once the contest began, we were asked to complete a series of activities, including a bizarre Timothée-themed Q&A. Eventually, they narrowed down the contestants to me and a lookalike named Zander, who was dressed in a Dune-inspired outfit. Whoever got the loudest cheer would win. At that point, I was pretty calm. I thought Zander had a good shot of winning, too, as he looked a lot like Timothée. After they announced I'd won, hundreds of cameras went off in front of me. The sensory overload was next level. The reporters were aggressively fighting over who would speak to me first. To top it all, I had to walk around Manhattan carrying a 6ft trophy and a massive $50 cheque. I was invited on famous talkshows, like The Drew Barrymore Show, and fast-food companies reached out to me to film sponsored content. A highlight was attending this year's Golden Globes. I was with my mum when I received my invitation, via Instagram DM from CBS, which was broadcasting the event. My mum and I both lost it. This would be my second interaction with Timothée, as I had already met him at a screening of the film A Complete Unknown, which I was also invited to. I had been lucky enough to sit in the front row and when Timothée came out to greet the crowd, I said: 'I kind of look like you.' I did not mention the lookalike contest, but he turned to me and asked: 'What place did you get?' After I told him, he asked for a photo with me. You'd think it would be the other way round. Before the Golden Globes, CBS flew me out to LA. On landing, I went out for a breakfast burrito, and the waiter told me I looked like Timothée. He was so stunned to learn I was there for winning the lookalike contest that he gave me my meal for free. At the Globes, I walked the red carpet with the winner of the Glen Powell lookalike contest. We stood there for three hours, holding signs that read: 'I won a lookalike contest and now I'm at the Golden Globes.' We spent most of the time looking at each other in disbelief, surrounded by the world's most famous celebrities. I thought meeting Timothée was off the cards. But just before the ceremony kicked off, he dashed through the red carpet. He stopped to acknowledge me – something he wasn't doing for anyone else. For a second time, he asked for a picture. I was grateful as he didn't have to do that. I watched the ceremony from the trophy engraving room. I took full advantage of the unlimited food and drink, and ate about 30 lamb chops. The voice actor for Moana came up and said, 'Oh my god, you won the lookalike contest! Fuck, yeah, you did!' But I didn't recognise many people who approached me for pictures. The CBS team had to tell me who they were. I'd just think: 'Wow, that's insane.' It was hands-down the best night of my life.

They cast someone else who wasn't even at the contest. I was disappointed, of course, but that's how this industry works. I'm optimistic about future opportunities, but even if that was the peak, I'm still grateful for all the cool things I got to do. As told to Maria Vieira Do you have an experience to share?

Smoke review – no TV show has ever been worth sticking with more
I never want to include spoilers, but sometimes they cannot be avoided. So, because I want you to stick with the new miniseries by Dennis Lehane, starring Taron Egerton (the pair reuniting after their great success with 2022's Black Bird), and enjoy the myriad benefits it will reap, I urge you to ignore any misgivings you have about the first two episodes of Smoke. Most of them will fall away. The tonal inconsistencies, the apparent self-indulgence of Lehane with his protagonist's hobby, the dabs of bad characterisation – just keep the faith. If you can't, then Google the true crime podcast on which Smoke is based and work out what must be happening from there. I'm not giving you the title because you'll be ruining a lot of fun for yourself. It is not as though sticking with it will be too much of a hardship, even if you do have loads of questions. At its inception, Smoke is at the very least a solid police procedural. Egerton plays Dave Gudsen, a former firefighter who became an arson investigator after a traumatic callout put an end to his original career. When two serial arsonists start setting fires all over his patch and his searches for them stall, a detective from the local police department, Michelle Calderon (Jurnee Smollett), is brought in to help. She is in effect being punished for ending an affair with her captain (Rafe Spall) and is eager to catch the bad guys and restore her standing. Further complications to her private life include a mother in jail for an act first suggested by Calderon's flashbacks to a terrifying experience in her childhood, then confirmed by her attendance at her mother's parole hearing, in the face of deep hostility from her siblings. We meet one of the main suspects long before she and Gudsen do. Freddy Fasano (a mesmerising performance by Ntare Guma Mbaho Mwine, which should see him clean up at awards time as thoroughly as Paul Walter Hauser did after Black Bird) is a cowed fry cook at a fast food outlet. Among other things, Lehane and Mwine make him a study in dreadful loneliness, whose ramifications spread like the fires set around the neighbourhood. One of the arsonists uses the 'divide and conquer' method – setting alight crisp aisles (So fatty! So flammable!) in supermarkets before starting bigger fires elsewhere so the emergency services are stretched thin. It suggests someone with a working knowledge of the department's resources, so Gudsen and Calderon begin the long task of matching firefighters' absence records with the days previous fires occurred and homing in on the possible perpetrator. Smoke becomes a cat and mouse game, with the opposing sides circling each other in ways that become increasingly extreme, but never quite tip over into preposterous. It is hugely entertaining, though it is a shame that the main story slightly swamps Freddy's and gives Mwine less to do as time goes on. But Egerton serves up an increasingly layered, clever performance as Gudsen, hitting every ball Lehane and the true story on which Smoke is based throw at him out of the park. It will certainly set him up for further and deserved success. Let's hope it does the same for Mwine. Hang in there, and enjoy. Smoke is on Apple TV+ now.

Justin Bieber puzzles fans by changing his NAME on Instagram before sharing rare glimpse of son Jack Blues
Justin Bieber threw his fans for a loop on Thursday when he mysteriously changed his profile name on Instagram. The 31-year-old pop superstar had previously used his own name for the account, but social media users noticed that he had rebooted the account name as 'lilbieber' without warning or explanation. The odd behavior — which coincided with a rapid-fire string of bizarre posts — came just a day after he shared another content creator's post about receiving the 'silent treatment,' which many of his fans interpreted as referring to his marriage to Hailey Bieber. The post followed Justin and Hailey's bitter Father's Day, when they apparently bickered publicly on social media. Hours after the name change, the Sorry singer interrupted his posts of moody black-and-white self-portraits to share some rare photos of himself bonding with his 10-month-old son Jack Blues. The surprisingly public display followed in the wake of an insider's claim to The Sun that the model had branded her husband a 'f***ing child' in response to his post on Mother's Day, in which he said the holiday 'sucks a**.' Hours after the name change, the Sorry singer interrupted his posts of moody black-and-white self-portraits to share some rare photos of himself bonding with his 10-month-old son Jack Blues One fan account posted a reply that Justin allegedly posted in response to a comment about his name change, but the context and meaning wasn't immediately clear. 'We love to catagorize and box people in and it's hurting us [sic],' he allegedly wrote. Over on X (formerly Twitter) fans were largely negative on the name change, with several expressing their consternation over the unexpected move. 'Why did Justin bieber change is his insta name to lilbieber.... [sic],' wrote one puzzled user. Several people joked that the name change signaled that Justin was leaving pop music behind in favor of rap. 'justin bieber becoming an underground rapper,' one poster wrote. Others described the change as the sign of a 'midlife crisis,' though Bieber is a bit young for that. 'Midlife crisis or marketing strategy? Either way, "lilbieber" feels like a 2013 time capsule cracked open,' one person mused.

'lilbieber, standing on business,' another user wrote, referencing a phrase Justin featured in his recent Instagram posts. 'justin unlocked his new 56th personality im afraid.' One person joked, 'Alright lilbieber needs a time out from social media.' Several fans poked fun at the name change for being immature. 'lilbieber bffr you're a 31 year old man,' wrote one. Another wrote, 'lilbieber, huh? Trying to shed that baby image, I see.' One person even compared Justin's recent actions on social media to those of the disgraced rapper Kanye West. 'justin bieber changed his instagram handle to lilbieber. what's happening to that guy he's really the next ye,' another user worried. Several fans poked fun at the name change for being immature One person even compared Justin's recent actions on social media to those of the disgraced rapper Kanye West Confusingly, once Justin changed his Instagram name, a new account appeared under his original name. It was completely blank and was set to private, meaning that followers have to be approved by the owner. It's unclear if Bieber could have kept his original username as a second account or if another person quickly swooped in to steal his old name. The change confused several fans on social media who thought the hitmaker had wiped his account, as the blank page appeared to have the same URL as Justin's original Instagram account. It was even more likely to mix up fans, as the new blank account appears to be the first result when using search engines to find Justin's Instagram. Instagram's frequently asked questions suggest that Justin may not even be able to get his old name back if someone else has claimed it, though it's possible that his celebrity status may afford him special, unmentioned perks that regular Instagram users wouldn't have access to. After the name change, Justin shot off a bevy of Instagram posts that alternated between expressionistic black-and-white self-portraits and context-free photos of shoes and clothing that appeared to be items from his new Skylrk fashion line. But amid those posts came a rare glimpse of his and Hailey's son Jack Blues, whom the two usually try to keep out of the spotlight. But amid those posts came a rare glimpse of his and Hailey's son Jack Blues, whom the two usually try to keep out of the spotlight. The 10-month-old sat in a cardboard box with colorful balls while Justin played with him In a post with two photos that he only captioned with emojis, Justin shared two nearly identical snaps of little Jack sitting in a cardboard box with some colorful plastic balls. Justin covered himself with a coral-colored zip-up hoodie as he beamed playfully at the little boy. He shared thee sweet photos following reports that his wife Hailey is doing everything in her power to keep her family together. Amid reports that she is struggling in her marriage, a source told Us Weekly that the Rhode founder, 28, who recently sold her brand to e.l.f. Beauty for $1 billion, has been focused on remaining 'the stable parent.' 'Justin's been a hard person to deal with recently because of what he's going through,' they explained. 'It's been really hard on her.' The insider added: 'Family issues have clouded her success.' 'Justin's going through a difficult time, and Hailey is giving him room to get himself back on track. He's doing his best, but it's tough,' a second sourced told the outlet. The second insider claims the pair have been enduring more 'ups and downs' than usual and 'things have been very tense in the last month.' 'Hailey's worried about Justin, especially with a [baby at home]. He hasn't been down like this in quite some time, so there's concern,' they explained. As Justin continues to spark concern online over his bizarre social media posts, Hailey is said to feel frustrated over his 'loose cannon' antics. But, ultimately, the source explained: 'She knows that's part of the industry and who she's married to.' 'They don't talk about divorce,' the first source insisted. The second insider confirmed the odds of them calling it quits 'are very slim, especially because of their faith.' 'Faith is a big part of their life,' the source said. 'They believe they are soulmates and meant for each other.' 'They'll do anything to make it work,' the second source stressed. 'They are going to get through it.' On Wednesday, the Sorry hitmaker shared footage of him facing off against a paparazzi that has become a viral meme. 'Still standing on it no joke,' he captioned the video of the heated exchange, in which he told a paparazzo to leave him alone because he was 'standing on business.' Earlier this week, a source told Entertainment Tonight that Justin has been 'irritated by Hailey and feels she 'can be superficial about the way their relationship looks in the public eye.' The insider added that 'Justin's lack of motivation has been upsetting for [Hailey]' and they're 'not good.' Still, they are both said to be hopeful they can repair their marriage. Last month, Justin told Vogue via email: 'I've done a lot of dumb things in my life, but the smartest thing I've ever done was marry Hailey.' He added: 'I'm walking in the days I always dreamed of.' As far as having more kids they both want that, but Hailey told the journalist that she plans to take it 'a kid at a time.' Hailey also gushed that Justin sees her as a 'superhero' after welcoming their son. 'It's been my biggest teacher so far,' she said of becoming a mom. 'The biggest teacher in my relationship. You see your partner so differently.' She continued: 'Justin is an 'amazing dad... I think you empathize with your parents a lot more. There's so much perspective that comes with it.' In his email, Justin also pointed out: '[Hailey is] in the spotlight, and has the attention because of her effortless knack for style, business, art, and fashion. And the way she makes being a mom and wife look easy.' In the interview, Hailey admitted she thought she might 'die' during her traumatic labor last year. The model welcomed her only child with Bieber, 31, in August 2024, but experienced some 'scary' complications during the birth. Despite prepping for nine months in which she exercised, worked on her pelvic floor and felt 'physically stronger' than ever before, Hailey found herself going through a very tough labour, with the stunner admitting in a candid new interview that giving birth was 'the hardest thing I've ever done'. Speaking for the first time about the birth, Hailey told Vogue: 'That s**t was so crazy. That was not fun. They broke my water. I went into labor and I labored for a few hours. No epidural, nothing.' Hailey began leaking amniotic fluid at 39 weeks and had to be induced, with the star given medication to bring on contractions while a special balloon was placed inside her uterus to help dilate her. However, while she eventually welcomed her boy after 18 hours, her troubles continued as she then experienced a postpartum hemorrhage, with Hailey sadly admitting that the thought had crossed her mind that she wouldn't survive the ordeal. On the fact that death could be a result of this complication if not treated quickly, which she told was 'a little bit scary', Hailey shared: 'I trust my doctor with my life. And so I had peace that I knew she would never let anything happen to me. But I was bleeding really badly, and people die, and the thought crosses your mind.' Hailey also spoke of her 'difficulty' at coping with the 'new version of herself' while facing rumors surrounding her marriage to Justin. Fans have expressed concern for the couple due to their stony-faced public appearances, and Hailey's famous friends have allegedly urged her to leave the singer due to his 'unacceptable' behavior. Addressing the challenges, she shared: 'Being postpartum is the most sensitive time I've ever gone through in my life, and learning a new version of myself is very difficult… And to be doing that all the while going on the internet every day and people being like, "They're getting divorced" and "They're this" and "They're not happy": It is such a mindf**k. I cannot even begin to explain it. It's a crazy life to live.'
