Justin Bieber took to social media to discuss his healing process and "anger issues" after another confrontation with paparazzi.
"People keep telling me to heal," Bieber wrote Monday. "Don't you think if I could have fixed myself I would have already? I know I'm broken. I know I have anger issues. I tried to do the work my whole life to be like the people who told me I needed to be fixed like them. And it just keeps making me more tired and more angry. The harder I try to grow. The more focussed [sic] on myself I am.
He continued: "Jesus is the only person who keeps me wanting to make my life about others. Because honestly I'm exhausted with thinking about myself lately aren't you?"
Bieber, 31, was spotted at the beach by paparazzi. He was seen telling the people with cameras to leave him alone. Fox News Digital reached out to Bieber's representative for comment.
JUSTIN BIEBER PLEADS FOR PAPARAZZI ATTENTION TO STOP AMID GROWING CONCERN OVER POP STAR'S BEHAVIOR
The "Never Say Never" singer previously pleaded with paparazzi to leave him alone in a video shared to his Instagram in April.
"Look at these guys, man," Bieber repeatedly said while videoing.
"This has to stop," the "One Time" singer wrote in his caption.
Throughout the video, fans can hear the back-and-forth between Bieber's entourage and photographers.
"Guys, can you back up please?" someone asked, before a photographer replied with, "You're filming me?"
"You guys done?" another person asked the photographers.
"Got your shots, go," the man added, encouraging the photographers to be on their way.

At the time, Bieber was 16 years old.

Amid recent speculation, Bieber's team told TMZ that concerns about Bieber's mental and physical health are "exhausting and pitiful and shows that despite the obvious truth, people are committed to keeping negative, salacious, harmful narratives alive."
His team added that he is focused on being a father to his son, Jack, and producing new music. Hailey and Justin welcomed their first child in August.
Despite rumors of a rocky spot in the pop star's marriage to Hailey, a source told People in April that Bieber is having fun with his wife's support.
"Hailey is not on the verge of wanting a divorce or leaving him. It's just completely untrue," the insider told the outlet. "If anything, she's sad about how hard everyone is being on him now that he finally is coming back out of his shell."

David Hekili Kenui Bell death: Lilo & Stitch star dies
David Hekili Kenui Bell, best known for his appearance in Disney's live-action Lilo & Stitch, has died. News of his death was shared on Facebook by his sister Jalene Kanani Bell. No cause of death has been shared. 'It is with a heavy heart I share that my sweet, generous, talented, funny, brilliant and handsome little brother David H K Bell will spend today in the company of our Heavenly Father,' she wrote. On Lilo & Stitch, he played a character named Big Hawaiian Dude, a nod to the Ice Cream Man – a running gag in the animated films, where a hapless tourist repeatedly drops his ice cream before he can eat it. In the 2025 live action version, Big Hawaiian Dude drops his shaved ice when he sees Zach Galifianakis's Jumba and Billy Magnussen's Pleakley open the portal to the island. Two weeks ago, Bell had shared a video of his audition tape for Big Hawaiian Dude, along with several behind-the-scenes photos from the set. In a previous Instagram post, he gave a shout out to the cast and crew from the film, writing: 'Now, Mahalo to all who worked on this film! I knew it would be special to attend a Cast and CREW screening and it didn't disappoint! Was so awesome to see so many of the true stars in my opinion, our local crew in Hawaii. They deserve just as much or more recognition! Was also happy to see so much of the cast, especially those of us that round out the world of live-action Lilo & Stitch that the filmmakers so masterfully constructed. Until the next one, Ohana!' According to Bell's bio, he had also appeared in episodes of Hawaii Five-0 and Magnum PI. His IMDb page also lists that he was working on Amazon MGM Studios' forthcoming film The Wrecking Crew, which also stars Dave Bautista and Jason Momoa. His sister's message also shared: 'David loved being an actor, doing voiceovers, spending time with Brutus traveling as an ambassador for Kona Brew. The film industry and entertainment was so exciting to him and I loved that he enjoyed the arts. He went to Punahou and Kalani while our dad spoke Hawaiian so his ability to deliver lines with English understanding, Indigenous knowledge and Pidgen to da Max … made him a diamond in the rough. 'You can hear him over the PA system on arrival at Kona Airport where he loved working to create an awesome and safe customer experience.'

Paul Skenes returns to Omaha for a brief visit to the arena that changed his life
OMAHA, Neb. — In the far corner of the bar, on a Monday afternoon, towered Paul Skenes. He drank only water, yet all around him swirled an intoxicated mayhem, a frenzied hurricane of purple and gold. This was the Men's College World Series in full, drunken bloom: Jell-O shots by the trayful, sticky floors, ball games on big screens, a sea of golf shirts. LSU chants erupted sporadically across the crowd. One particularly well-prepared fan led a cheer with a trumpet. Advertisement At Rocco's, the unofficial hub of Omaha's pregame, midgame and postgame debauchery, the party had already reached a rolling boil. Across the street, Arkansas starter Gage Wood had just tossed the first MCWS no-hitter since 1960, an elimination-game gem to keep his Razorbacks' season alive. Back at Rocco's, the final out elicited cheers and reluctant appreciation from the LSU faithful. Behind a cordoned-off VIP area in the bar's 'Jello Shot Room,' the scene was controlled chaos. Two imposing bodyguards in all black stood watch, keeping the throngs of eager LSU fans from swarming Skenes and his sizable entourage. His über-famous girlfriend, gymnast-turned-social-media-icon Livvy Dunne, posed for photos. Todd Graves, founder of the Raisin' Cane's chicken empire and a prominent LSU booster, held court. Various acolytes sipped brews. Former players mingled. Hangers-on loitered. Off to the side, the Pirates ace chatted quietly with his battery-mate Henry Davis, another MCWS alumnus. Above and apart from it all lingered Skenes. All 6-foot-7 of him. He did not wear purple or yellow or anything that signified his status as LSU royalty. Instead, the 23-year-old was dressed in a charcoal button-down and khakis. It was as if he were trying to blend in, despite knowing full well that he cannot. He is, after all, the most recognizable college baseball player of the 21st century. Two years ago, this was his kingdom. Now, he's just visiting. In 2023, this outpost on the plains played host to Skenes' dazzling ascension to superstardom. That year, he arrived as the best amateur pitcher in the country. He left as a full-blown superstar. In between, he delivered two unforgettable performances, propelling his Tigers to a championship. With that, he went from highly regarded to downright undeniable. That was also the moment after which he was no longer able to live a normal life. Advertisement Much has happened in the two years since Skenes last visited Omaha: No. 1 overall draft pick. Social media influencer girlfriend. Major League Baseball debut. All-Star Game starting pitcher. Rookie of the Year winner. Cy Young finalist. A 1.89 ERA in 38 big-league starts. A future, somehow, still brighter than his past. Today, his autograph is worth hundreds, his presence even more. On Monday, Skenes was taking in the other side of the MCWS, the side he didn't experience during his career — the revelry, the unbridled fandom, the alcohol consumption, the theater of it all. And yet, standing there amongst the merrymaking, across the street from the arena that changed his life, Skenes seemed more observer than participant. His brief return to Omaha was made possible by a quirk of fate. The tournament often draws celebrities into its orbit, but not often do active MLB players have the logistical availability or desire to make an appearance. Skenes' was afforded the chance because his Pirates had a rare road off-day between series in Chicago and Detroit. Once LSU won its opening game Saturday against Arkansas, ensuring a prime-time winners' bracket showdown against UCLA, Skenes was granted a serendipitous opportunity. And so he flew into town on Monday, for less than 24 hours, to watch a ball game, something he hadn't done in years. Advertisement He and his entourage weren't at Rocco's for long. After about an hour, Skenes strolled over to the 'shot board' to update the tallies — LSU currently leads the contest with 7,034 Jell-O shots consumed — then slipped out with his crew. They rode golf carts about a hundred yards or so to the stadium, weaved through its underbelly and filed in right behind home plate just in time for first pitch. It was a relatively low-key showing for the man who once made this place come to life. Skenes (and Dunne) were of course shown on the big board during the game, earning a round of cheers. Once the rain rolled in, delaying the game in the bottom of the third with LSU leading 5-3, he retreated to a box upstairs, where he stayed until the contest was suspended around 10:30 p.m. A gaggle of travel ball kids stood eagerly beneath the suite where Skenes and his fellow LSU teammates gathered, hoping to catch a glimpse of the big guy. The entire operation provided Skenes with what must have been an odd, fleeting glimpse of his former life. Not quite a reliving of his good, old days — he's still only 23 and dominating big-league hitters — but a revisiting of sorts. A return to a time and a place that have faded into the past but also endure as a reminder of the glory he's striving for every day.

Jurors shown clips of ‘freak-offs' central to Sean Combs sex trafficking charges
The jury at Sean 'Diddy' Combs's sex trafficking trial got a glimpse of some of the 'freak-off' sex marathons at the heart of the case, with prosecutors showing excerpts of explicit videos that the hip-hop mogul recorded during the drug-fuelled sessions. Prosecutors played portions of three sex videos recovered from a Combs-linked account on a mobile phone that his former long-time girlfriend Cassie provided to authorities, giving jurors a close-up view of the encounters they've heard about repeatedly since evidence began on May 12. One video was from October 14 2012, the same day prosecutors say Combs had a 'freak-off' in New York City with Cassie and sex worker Sharay Hayes, known as 'The Punisher'. Before playing the clip, prosecutors showed jurors an invoice for a stay at the Trump International Hotel & Tower in Manhattan on October 14 2012 that was booked under Combs's alias, Frank Black. A note on the invoice said the guest requested to have the room at 3am. Prosecutors also showed jurors text messages in which Cassie, the R&B singer whose real name is Casandra Ventura, arranged the October 14 meetup with Mr Hayes. In one message, she wrote: 'Can we actually do 3am at the Trump hotel, Columbus Circle?' Mr Hayes replied: 'Great. I'll text when I'm on my way,' and told her his fee for the encounter was 200 dollars (£147) cash. Jurors were also shown excerpts of videos taken on October 20 2012 and December 4 2014. Collectively, the clips shown to jurors were several minutes long, and although at least one juror winced at a video, their reactions were mostly muted. Defence lawyers have said the videos prove that Combs was engaging in consensual sex rather than committing crimes. Because of their graphic nature, the excerpts were available for viewing only for jurors, the prosecution and defence teams and Combs, all of whom wore headphones to hear the audio. Reporters and members of the public were not allowed to see or hear the videos. The videos were the most notable part of an otherwise dry day in court as prosecutors wind down their case with so-called summary witnesses — government agents who are reading aloud heaps of text messages, travel records and other document-based evidence. After six weeks of witnesses and evidence, prosecutors said they plan to rest on Wednesday. After that, Combs's lawyers said they will start calling witnesses. Earlier in the trial, a forensic video expert retained by the prosecution to enhance the videos identified them by date and exhibit number. During that evidence, a prosecutor described the videos as 'sex videos'. Until Monday, jurors had only seen still images taken from the 'freak-off' videos. Combs, 55, has pleaded not guilty to sex trafficking and racketeering conspiracy charges after his September arrest at a New York hotel. He was denied bail multiple times and has remained incarcerated in Brooklyn ever since. Before the jury entered the courtroom on Monday, Judge Arun Subramanian dismissed a juror after concluding there were 'clear inconsistencies' in his answers last week and during jury selection about whether he resided in New York or with a girlfriend in New Jersey. 'Taking these all together, the record raised serious concerns as to the juror's candour and whether he shaded answers to get on and stay on the jury,' he said. Mr Subramanian had first announced that he was dismissing the juror late on Friday, but he left open the possibility that he would question the juror a final time after defence lawyers protested, saying that dismissing the black juror and replacing him with a white juror might spoil an otherwise diverse jury. The judge said he had decided not to question him further because it could lead to 'another set of shifting answers. In other words, there's nothing that the juror can say at this point that would put the genie back in the bottle and restore his credibility'.
