From wedding bells to studio beats
For most artists, marriage signals a brief pause from the spotlight but for Hasan Raheem, it has meant quite the opposite. Barely a week after tying the knot in a traditional Gilgiti ceremony, the singer has returned to Instagram with a flurry of cryptic teasers, hinting that a new album is already in the works. Just last week, pictures and videos from his actual wedding went viral online, with many fans assuming it was yet another publicity stunt. Their scepticism wasn't unfounded – back in April, Hasan had staged a fake wedding as a teaser for his song MEMORIES. This time though, he came clean, posting pictures with his wife and confirming with a simple note: "Real hai" [It's real]. Now, Hasan has once again hijacked Instagram, this time with a series of cryptic teasers. On Tuesday, he posted three reels captioned "P", "K" and "D", with the hashtag #AlbumMode. Each reel carries its own voiceover. The first features Hasan himself saying, "Uska bohot ehsan hai mujhpe, upar wale ne hamesha mere gunahon pe parda dala hai" [I am indebted to Him, the Creator has always hidden my sins]. The second switches to a woman's voice: "Hasan if you want to be in my life, you're gonna have to leave these vices behind." The third ends on a male voiceover: "Hasan zindagi ka aakhri paigham mohabbat hai, apka aakhri taaruf, Hasan ka aakhri taruf yeh hai ke woh mohabbat kar sakta hai, woh mohabbat mahsus kar sakta hai" [Hasan's life's last message is love. Your final introduction, Hasan's final introduction, is that he can love and that he is capable of receiving love). The visuals weave through glitchy cityscapes drenched in pink. Fans, unsurprisingly, are hooked. One commented, "Hasan Bhai apne pura Insta hijack kiya hua hai" [Hasan brother, you've hijacked the entire Instagram].

Justin Bieber impersonator banned from Las Vegas nightclub after fooling fans
A Justin Bieber impersonator has been banned from a Las Vegas nightclub after successfully convincing fans, staff, and even a DJ that he was the Canadian pop star. The incident took place on Saturday, August 16, at XS Nightclub inside the Wynn Las Vegas. French national Dylan Desclos, 29, entered the venue posing as Bieber and was granted access to VIP areas before reportedly charging a $10,000 bar tab. Later in the evening, he joined DJ Gryffin on stage to perform what appeared to be a surprise rendition of Bieber's 2015 hit 'Sorry.' The packed audience believed Bieber had made an unannounced return to live music, especially given the release of his seventh studio album Swag earlier this year. The album's lead single 'Daisies' recently reached the UK Top 10, lending further credibility to the stunt. DJ Gryffin, whose real name is Daniel Griffith, later admitted on TikTok that he was fooled by Desclos. He explained that the dark setting and loud music made it difficult to recognize that the man was not Bieber. 'So his 'team' said he wanted to perform 'Sorry'… little did I know I was about to be sorry,' Gryffin wrote. Desclos, who is known online as 'Bustin Jieber,' has built a following through viral impersonation stunts and has even crossed paths with Bieber's wife, Hailey, who once said his resemblance was unsettling. Following the incident, XS Nightclub confirmed that Desclos has been banned from the venue. Social media users remain divided, with some calling the act a harmless prank and others labeling it potential fraud or identity theft.

Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet breakup rumors intensify amid busy schedules
Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet are facing renewed breakup rumors, with insiders suggesting the couple's romance may be little more than a carefully staged 'showmance.' RadarOnline reports that the 28-year-old entrepreneur and the 29-year-old Oscar-nominated actor have not been seen together publicly for over a month, sparking speculation about their relationship status. Although Jenner recently liked one of Chalamet's Instagram posts and joined him briefly in Budapest on August 20, where he is filming Dune: Part Three, sources claim these gestures were orchestrated to give the impression of unity. 'They haven't seen each other for weeks because Timothée's been filming in Budapest, while Kylie has been working in Los Angeles,' one insider told RadarOnline 'They FaceTime and miss each other, but they're leading separate lives, and the end feels inevitable.' Another source added that Chalamet's filming commitments, which will soon take him to Jordan and Abu Dhabi, continue to clash with Jenner's responsibilities as a mother and business owner. Despite having access to private travel, the distance and demanding schedules are reportedly creating strain. Jenner, who built her empire through Kylie Cosmetics, Kylie Skin, and her fashion label Khy, recently celebrated her 28th birthday with her mother Kris Jenner, Hailey Bieber, and Justin Bieber. Meanwhile, Chalamet continues to build his career, recently earning a second Academy Award nomination for his performance in A Complete Unknown. The couple began dating in January 2023 and went public later that year. While neither Jenner nor Chalamet has commented on the speculation, sources suggest they are 'reluctant to split' but face mounting challenges.
