Justin Bieber's ‘Go Baby' Has CPR-Approved Tempo
'Bieber is back! And this new song could help you save a life with Hands-Only CPR,' the association shared on Instagram. 'If you see a teen or adult collapse, remember two simple steps: Call 911 and push hard and fast in the center of the chest to the beat of @lilbieber's 'GO BABY.''

'Go Baby,' a deep cut from Bieber's new album Swag, has 120 beats per minute, which matches the pacing for potentially life-saving CPR. Following the surprise album release, the American Heart Association also shared that the single 'Daisies,' which has 110 beats per minute, is also CPR tempo approved, writing: 'He's standing on business – the business of saving lives.'
Other songs with the stamp of approval include Kendrick Lamar's 'Not Like Us' with 101 beats per minute, Bad Bunny's 'EL CLúB' with 111 beats per minute, and Ravyn Lenae's 'Love Me Not' with 114 beats per minute. Fittingly, Benson Boone's 'Young American Heart,' with 100 beats per minute, could also save a life.
The American Heart Association has amassed a playlist of more than 195 songs that match the recommended 100- to 120-BPM required for CPR. Ironically, The Fray's 'How to Save a Life' — with its 122 BPM tempo — could not, in fact, save a life. Sabrina Carpenter's 'Please Please Please' and 'Espresso,' on the other hand, definitely could.
'When someone is in cardiac arrest, the responder might unintentionally speed up or slow down chest compressions due to stress or uncertainty,' the Red Cross said in a statement shared on their website. 'A familiar song with the correct BPM can act as a built-in metronome to help keep compressions consistent and adequate. Many bystanders hesitate to perform CPR or other life-saving measures due to fear of doing it incorrectly or freezing under pressure. Music can reduce hesitation in emergencies by providing a familiar and structured rhythm. This familiarity builds confidence and reduces uncertainty.'

Disney earnings preview: All eyes on ESPN amid streaming push
Disney (DIS) is set to report fiscal third quarter results before the bell on Wednesday. Investor attention is squarely on its sports strategy amid reports that ESPN has reached a deal to acquire key NFL Media assets, including NFL RedZone, in exchange for an equity stake of up to 10% in the network. Sports remain a central pillar of Disney's streaming strategy as ESPN prepares to launch a new standalone service this fall. Analysts see the debut as a key step toward more bundling opportunities with Disney+ and Hulu as streamers across the industry work to retain subscribers and reduce churn. Here's how Wall Street expects Disney to perform, according to consensus estimates compiled by Bloomberg: Total revenue: $23.68 billion versus $23.16 billion in Q3 2024 Adjusted earnings per share: $1.46 versus $1.39 in Q3 2024 Entertainment revenue: $10.82 billion versus $10.58 billion in Q3 2024 Parks and Experiences revenue: $8.87 billion versus $8.39 billion in Q3 2024 Sports revenue: $4.44 billion versus $4.56 billion in Q3 2024 Disney+ subscriber net additions: 2.05 million versus 7.7 million in Q3 2024 "With the NFL as an investor, ESPN's long-term future is incrementally more secure," Morgan Stanley analyst Ben Swinburne wrote in a note previewing the results. "While the NFL cannot stop cord-cutting and will surely not give Disney a discount in future rights renewals, by investing in ESPN, the NFL will be even more motivated to help ESPN survive and potentially thrive in the new streaming-first world ahead," he wrote. Read more: Live coverage of corporate earnings In May, Disney raised its full-year profit forecast to $5.75 a share, marking a 16% increase from fiscal 2024. "If the macro backdrop remains healthy, we see Disney generating healthy double-digit adjusted EPS growth in the years ahead," Swinburne added, raising his price target on the stock to $140 from the prior $120. Disney stock has rebounded about 7% since the start of 2025 but still slightly lags the broader S&P 500 (^GSPC). The push into streaming comes as Disney continues to adapt to the mass exodus of pay-TV subscribers. In June, the company laid off several hundred employees across its global operations in a bid to streamline costs, with cuts impacting areas such as TV marketing, publicity, and corporate finance. In a statement to Yahoo Finance, Disney said at the time that it had taken a "surgical" approach to minimize the number of impacted roles, adding that no entire teams were being eliminated. Since 2023, Disney has cut more than 8,000 jobs as part of a $7.5 billion cost-savings initiative. Beyond sports and streaming, Disney's Parks and Experiences segment remains a key growth driver. Wall Street analysts expect operating income from the unit to accelerate in fiscal 2026, fueled by new cruise ships and the continued ramp-up of international and domestic park expansions. In a notable push abroad, the company recently announced plans to open a new theme park and resort in Abu Dhabi — its first major expansion into the Middle East and its seventh global resort. The move comes as fresh competition emerges closer to home following the debut of NBCUniversal's Epic Universe in May. Alexandra Canal is a Senior Reporter at Yahoo Finance.

Gloria Estefan slams Diddy accuser's claim that he was tunneled from her home
Gloria Estefan slams Diddy accuser's claim that he was tunneled from her home NEW YORK — Gloria Estefan has denied the allegations that a man was tunneled from a home she owned in Miami Beach with husband Emilio Estefan Jr. to a nearby mansion owned by Sean 'Diddy' Combs, where the alleged victim says he was drugged and sexually assaulted. The Miami Sound Machine star, 67, 'categorially [denies] each and every allegation about me and my husband' made by Manzaro Joseph, according to a letter written to a judge obtained by Us Weekly. Joseph filed a lawsuit in April claiming he was taken through a tunnel from a party at Estefan's former Star Island home to Diddy's neighboring residence in 2015. There, he alleges he was drugged before the rapper and an unnamed woman directed others to subject him to 'degrading and nonconsensual acts.' Gloria Estefan says the home referred to in the lawsuit was one of several she and Emilio owned on Star Island at the time. She claims that from 2012 to 2019 it was occupied by relatives, who would have 'no doubt' contacted the couple 'had strangers appeared' there 'after midnight.' 'No such thing happened. Particularly given the occupants of [the home], I know that no parties were thrown during that period,' wrote the 'Conga' singer. 'At no time was there ever any 'tunnel' between the two houses, at least not while we owned [that home], and based on many years of experience with the City of Miami Beach, I believe this fact could have been easily verified through the public records of the City of Miami Beach.' In his lawsuit, Joseph alleged he entered the back of the Estefans' home, which the Grammy winner said would have not possible due to security provisions. He also claimed that Gloria and her husband were there at the time, and that Emilio moved his wife away from the scene after she expressed concerns over Joseph's impaired physical state. Gloria said the timing of the lawsuit should be questioned, as it coincided with the release of two of her new songs, which were produced by Emilio. Emilio, who was named a defendant in the suit, has similarly denied the allegations. The claims against him were dismissed in late July, though Joseph was given time to amend his complaint. Diddy's attorneys previously denied the accusations to TMZ, dismissing then as 'depraved lengths plaintiffs will travel to garner headlines in pursuit of a payday.' '[Diddy] looks forward to having his day in court where these lies — and the perverse motives of those who told them — will be revealed,' his lawyers said. In early July, Combs was acquitted of federal sex trafficking and racketeering charges, for which he could have faced life behind bars, but was found guilty of two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution. He has been denied bail ahead of his sentencing on Oct. 3.

Speech Therapist Breaks Down 6 Hard-to-Pronounce Names She Would Never Give Her Baby (Exclusive)
Chloe Conrad, a speech-language pathologist, tells PEOPLE which sounds are difficult for young kids to say — and which are the easiestNEED TO KNOW Chloe Conrad, a San Diego-based speech-language pathologist, tells PEOPLE which sounds are difficult for young kids to say — and which are the easiest She adds that parents shouldn't be afraid to pick a name that's difficult for young kids to pronounce if it has sentimental value 'If your child then has difficulty saying that name, that's OK,' says Conrad. 'Speech therapists exist for a reason'For many kids — and especially those who have trouble pronouncing certain sounds — learning how to say their own name is an important developmental milestone. 'It can get super frustrating for them when they go to soccer or camp and everyone just misses it,' Chloe Conrad, a San Diego-based speech-language pathologist, tells PEOPLE. But not all names are built the same, and a couple of name-selection tips can help set kiddos up for success, even if they struggle with pronunciation, says Conrad. Her main suggestion? 'If there's an 'R' or an 'L,' I would try to avoid an 'O' sound,' she says. That includes names like Rory, Rowan, Aurora, Laurel, Ariella and Lorelai. (She admits it's "really ironic" that she's a fan of the 2000s show Gilmore Girls, given the names of the two main characters.) The reason these names might be difficult to pronounce for young kids, explains Conrad, is that many kids pronounce the 'R' or 'L' sounds as a 'W,' which becomes tricky when it is paired with another rounded 'O' sound right after. On the flip side, several names are especially easy for kids to pronounce because they include the sounds many pick up first. 'Any name that has earlier developing sounds, like 'P,' 'B,' 'M' and 'N' — so 'Mimi,' 'Hannah' and 'Anna' are pretty easy,' says Conrad. But Conrad wants to be clear: 'At the end of the day, if you love a name, you should still name your child that name,' she says. She even admits that she has a name in her family with three 'R' sounds that she'll 'probably use.' 'I'm going to be setting myself up,' Conrad laughs. And even when kids have names that they struggle to pronounce, there are other tricks they can use to increase their confidence while they're in the process of learning to say those difficult sounds. Never miss a story — sign up for to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories. 'Kids can have a little bracelet with their name on it for backup, so they can not be so frustrated,' she says. And if they're struggling to pronounce an 'L' sound, Conrad adds, they can make an 'L' with their fingers to make sure the sound is getting across. Several months ago, Conrad launched her private practice, Spunky Speech Therapy, where she meets with young patients who struggle with the pronunciation of certain sounds. In addition to her clinical work, though, she aims to reach a broader audience of other speech-language pathologists through her social media pages, where she shares a bit of her expertise. "I'm just hoping to be someone that, I, as an SLP, would've really wanted — to give those tips and tricks," says Conrad. But her most viral video — which notched over 700,000 views on TikTok — "happened to fall into mom land," she adds, grabbing the attention of parents-to-be who wanted to avoid giving their children names that are difficult to pronounce. "It's been fun to break down some of that information for parents," says Conrad. "For moms who have kids in speech or who don't — they can have access to that information and even see if the therapist they are working with is a good fit." 'My advice to a parent who's still deciding on a name is to pick whatever name feels the most important to you or that you like the best,' concludes Conrad. 'If your child then has difficulty saying that name, that's OK. Speech therapists exist for a reason, and somebody can help support your child to help [them] say their name.'
