Hailey Bieber seemingly takes dig at Scooter Braun after ex manager praises Justin's new album
On Saturday, she posted a selfie with exaggerated facial features and added Mariah Carey's 'Obsessed', leading fans to believe that she was mocking or making subtle jabs at her husband's former manager.

The timing raised eyebrows, as the post followed Braun's Instagram Story where he described Swag as 'beautiful, raw, and truly him.' He continued, 'There comes a time when an artist fully steps into their own — and that's what he's done here,' adding, 'I've played no role in this one, but as someone who's always believed in him, I'm incredibly proud.'

While Braun framed his message as supportive, Hailey's light-hearted yet pointed post was interpreted by many as a dig. The song choice and exaggerated expression seemed anything but coincidental.
The post also came just days after Justin and Braun reportedly settled a financial dispute, with the pop star agreeing to pay Braun $26 million plus additional commissions. According to reports, Braun's company Hybe helped Justin cover debt from a cancelled 2022 tour.
Justin's seventh studio album Swag dropped Friday via Def Jam Recordings, but the online response also reignited public interest in his strained ties with Braun.

LaMelo Ball's tattoo artist breaks silence after ‘Hot Chee Toes' tattoo goes viral
LaMelo Ball became the centre of online chatter after images surfaced suggesting the Charlotte Hornets star had tattooed 'Hot Chee Toes' across his foot. The fiery, Cheetos-themed design sparked both humour and disbelief, with fans flooding social media with reactions. However, Ball's tattoo artist Elvis Ramos has now confirmed that the tattoo was not real. Speaking in an Instagram video, Ramos explained the origin of the viral image and clarified that the foot in question did not belong to Ball. 'We tattooed LaMelo Ball. But those 'Hot Chee Toes'—those were not on Melo. We were just trolling,' Ramos said. 'The original artist is actually from California as well, but no, we didn't do that on Melo.' The prank had fooled thousands online, with some fans criticising Ball's supposed decision and others applauding the bold move. Reactions ranged from 'This can't be real' to 'Bro didn't break ankles, he toasted them.' Ramos added, 'We did do a leg sleeve on Melo, and we'll be posting that soon. But yeah, we were just trolling, man. The internet is crazy, bro.' Despite the joke, Ball remains known for his distinctive tattoo choices. His previous back piece took 18 hours and six artists to complete and reads 'Rare One,' reflecting his confident persona on and off the court. The Hornets, who struggled last season without Ball following a season-ending injury, are hopeful for a turnaround. Ball averaged 25.2 points, 4.9 rebounds, and 7.4 assists before his absence.

Spanish designer Miguel Adrover declines Rosalía collaboration over lack of public support for Palestine
Spanish fashion designer Miguel Adrover has refused to design a custom outfit for internationally known singer Rosalía, citing her lack of public support for Palestine. The incident was revealed through a post on Adrover's Instagram account, where he called on public figures to use their platforms to speak out against what he described as genocide. 'Doing 'The Right Thing'… Silence is complicity, and even more so when you have a big microphone where millions of people listen to you when you sing. That's why you have the responsibility to use this power to denounce this genocide,' Adrover wrote. Addressing the singer directly, he added, 'Rosalía, this is nothing personal. I admire you for all your talent and for everything you've achieved. And I think you are much more than those artists who only dedicate themselves to show business and entertainment. Now we have to do 'The Right Thing.'' The post included screenshots of an email exchange between the singer's team and Adrover's representatives. Rosalía's team had inquired about a custom look, indicating that a September or October appearance was likely. In response, Adrover's representatives replied: 'I'm sorry, but Miguel doesn't work with any artist who doesn't publicly support Palestina.' Some Instagram users noted that Rosalía had previously shown support for Gaza. On October 19, 2023, less than two weeks after Hamas-led attacks in Israel, the singer reportedly posted an appeal on Instagram for donations to Gazans, referencing food shortages and humanitarian crisis conditions. However, the post was reportedly deleted a few hours later.

Julian Brown missing? Fans worry after inventor's cryptic 'under attack' post
Julian Brown, a young environmental inventor and founder of Naturejab, has gone silent after posting an alarming video on Instagram. Known for his groundbreaking invention Plastoline—a machine that converts plastic into gasoline using microwave pyrolysis—Brown posted a message on July 9 stating he was 'under attack.' He has not been seen or heard from publicly since, causing widespread concern among his 1.7 million Instagram followers. The 21-year-old inventor had gained rapid popularity for his innovative approach to solving plastic pollution. Plastoline, his flagship invention, converts plastic waste into fuels like gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel. Brown's mission to revolutionize the energy and recycling sectors earned him recognition in Forbes as a rising green tech innovator. After weeks of silence, Brown's mother, Nia, issued a statement saying her son is safe but keeping a low profile for personal safety. She declined to share further details, and Brown's current location remains unknown. Brown also launched a GoFundMe campaign to raise $1 million for scaling Plastoline. While still far from its goal, the campaign has raised over $18,000 and continues to draw interest from environmentally conscious supporters. As fans await more clarity, speculation continues about whether Brown's disappearance is connected to his invention or if he faces threats from external sources. For now, the mystery remains unsolved.
