Justin Bieber slammed for shocking intimate act with Sexyy Red to plug new album Swag: 'This is embarrassing!'
The Baby hitmaker, 31, who shares a son with wife Hailey Bieber, filmed himself 'faded' (drunk or stoned) dancing with the musician, before wrapping an arm around her and planting a kiss on her head.
The duo - who have collaborated on raunchy track Sweet Spot - were seen dancing to their track in the video while clouds of apparent cigarette smoke blew over their faces.
The video was captioned: 'love you friendddd, faded in this video don't judge' - with Hailey hitting the like button.
However fans were left furious at the 'embarrassing' clip from the married star, just months after he came under fire for kissing the rapper at her single launch party in April.
One wrote: 'Won't judge you for being faded but I WILL judge you for behaving this way with a woman who isn't your wife 1. The song lyrics 2. The forehead kiss 3. The touching 4. Saying I love you in the caption.
'Being someone who is married.... let's not do this with other women. You made a vow to her. Appreciate and love her
'I'm a Belieber but it's a no for me! Justin is far too talented for these shenanigans.
'There comes a point where maturity needs to set in. This is honestly embarrassing. Imagine if Hailey posted a video like this. She would be brutally scrutinized.'
Others came out in support of Bieber, saying: 'Bro spent his childhood making YALL happy, now he's focused on things that make HIM happy. I'm not mad at that at all. All I see is a free spirit.'
'I see two friends vibin too they're own drum!'
Bieber stunned fans on Thursday when he finally released his highly anticipated seventh studio album years after first teasing it.
Bieber's new LP Swag dropped at midnight ET/9 p.m. PT following the last-minute launch earlier in the day of billboards around the world and a rush of social media posts.
The hitmaker left fans plenty to chew on with newly released songs featuring cryptic lyrics, including Walking Away, which seems to allude to his rumored marriage problems with his wife Hailey, 28.
One track, Therapy Session, was nothing but a skit between Bieber and the actor and comedian Druski in which they appeared to defend his mental health and recent bizarre social media meltdowns against fans claiming that 'he's f***in' losin' his mind.'
Justin released the album, which features 21 songs, four years after his previous album Justice dropped to mixed reviews but solid sales.
Swag features guest vocals from Gunna and Cash Cobain, as well as a particularly raunchy verse from the rapper Sexyy Red that left fans blushing and begging for a sweeter version without her.
As Bieber quickly publicized the album, he and his wife Hailey shared numerous moody photographs of the two and their 10-month-old son Jack Blues that appeared to have been shot for the album.
The singer launched multiple billboards around the globe on Thursday that appeared to promote the album, with images spotted in New York, Los Angeles, Atlanta and Reykjavík, Iceland.
Some of the promotional images included what looked like a track listing for the LP, though it wasn't certain if they reflected the final track order.
The apparent song titles for Swag include All I Can Take, Daisies, Yukon, Go Baby, Things You Do, Butterflies, Way It Is, First Place, Soulful, Walking Away, Glory Voice Memo, Devotion, Dadz Love, Therapy Session, Sweet Spot, 405, Swag, Zuma House, Too Long and Forgiveness.
One song title that was notably missing from the billboard track listings was number 16, Standing On Business.
It's not a full-fledged song, but rather another skit between Bieber and Druski that features audio from a confrontation the singer had with paparazzi last month in which he uttered the viral phrase, 'It's not clocking to you that I'm standing on business, is it?'
Justin's song Walking Away featured lyrics that appeared to allude to his marriage to Hailey and their recent highly publicized struggles.
'Days go by so fast, don't wanna spend them with you / So tell me why you're throwing stones at my back / You know I'm defenseless,' he sings in the first verse.
'Girl, we better stop before we say some s*** / We've been testing our patience / I think we better off if we just take a break,' he continues.
But the chorus and subsequent verses paint a picture of enduring love despite strife.
'Baby, I ain't walking away / You were my diamond / Gave you a ring / I made you a promise / I told you, "I'd change" / It's just human nature / These growing pains / And baby, I ain't walking away,' Bieber sings in the chorus.
One fan wrote on X, 'I want everyone who said Justin and Hailey gonna divorce to listen right here cause he ain't walking away.'
The cover featured a stark black background with 'SWAG' written in the center in capital letters
'Justin Love Hailely... liKe that's his TRUE LOVE!!!' another fan gushed in response to the album.
One fan was particularly moved by Walking Away and said Hailey was 'Justin Bieber's muse.'
Other early listeners singled out the love song Devotion, with one fan saying it 'might be one of Justin's best love songs ever.

Jeannie Seely, soulful country singer behind hits like 'Don't Touch Me,' dies at 85
Jeannie Seely, the soulful country music singer behind such standards like 'Don't Touch Me,' has died. She was 85. Her publicist, Don Murry Grubbs, said she died Friday after succumbing to complications from an intestinal infection. Known as 'Miss Country Soul' for her unique vocal style, Seely was a trailblazer for women in country music, celebrated for her spirited nonconformity and for a string of undeniable hits in the '60s and '70s. Her second husband, Gene Ward, died in December. In May, Seely revealed that she was in recovery after undergoing multiple back surgeries, two emergency procedures and spending 11 days in the ICU. She also suffered a bout of pneumonia. 'Rehab is pretty tough, but each day is looking brighter and last night, I saw a light at the end of the tunnel. And it was neon, so I knew it was mine!' she said in a statement at the time. 'The unsinkable Seely is working her way back.' Seely was born in July 1940, in Titusville, Pennsylvania, about two hours north of Pittsburgh and raised in nearby Townville. Her love of country music was instant; her mother sang, and her father played the banjo. When she was a child, she sang on local radio programs and performed on local television. In her early 20s, she moved to Los Angeles to kick-start a career, taking a job Liberty and Imperial Records in Hollywood. She kept writing and recording. Nashville was next: She sang on Porter Wagoner's show; she got a deal with Monument Records. Her greatest hit would arrive soon afterward: 'Don't Touch Me,' the crossover ballad written by Hank Cochran. The song earned Seely her first and only Grammy Award, for best country & western vocal performance in the female category. Cochran and Seely were married in 1969 and divorced in 1979. Seely broke boundaries in her career — at a time when country music expected a kind of subservience from its women performers, Seely was a bit of a rebel, known for wearing a miniskirt on the Grand Ole Opry stage when it was still taboo. And she had a number of country hits in the '60s and '70s, including three Top 10 hits on what is now known as Billboard's hot country songs chart: 'Don't Touch Me,' 1967's 'I'll Love You More (Than You Need)' and 1973's 'Can I Sleep In Your Arms?', adapted from the folk song 'Can I Sleep In Your Barn Tonight Mister?' In the years since, Seely continued to release albums, perform, and host, regularly appearing on country music programming. Her songs are considered classics, and have been recorded by everyone from Merle Haggard, Ray Price and Connie Smith to Ernest Tubb, Grandpa Jones, and Little Jimmy Dickens. And Seely never stopped working in country music. Since 2018, she's hosted the weekly 'Sunday's with Seely' on Willie Nelson's Willie's Roadhouse SiriusXM channel. That same year, she was inducted into the Music City Walk of Fame. She appeared nearly 5,400 times at the Grand Ole Opry, which she has been a member of since 1967. Grubbs said Saturday's Grand Ole Opry show would be dedicated to Seely. She released her latest song in July 2024, a cover of Dottie West's 'Suffertime,' recorded at the world-renowned RCA Studio B. She performed it at the Opry the year before.

Hulk Hogan's official death certificate revealed including details of what will happen to his remains
Hulk Hogan 's official death certificate went public Friday, eight days after the wrestling legend died in Florida at the age of 71. It emerged this Thursday that he succumbed to acute myocardial infarction, which is commonly referred to as a heart attack. Now, his death certificate has also been revealed, containing details of what is to be done with the late athlete's mortal remains. Hogan has been scheduled for cremation at the Bay Area Crematory in Clearwater, Florida, the city where he had been living at the time of his passing. His memorial service has been booked at the Sylvan Abbey Memorial Park and Funeral Home in the same city, according to the death certificate obtained by TMZ. The document was issued this Thursday - the day his cremation approval report disclosed Hogan had been privately battling chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), a form of cancer that affects white blood cells known as lymphocytes. A cremation approval report obtained by Page Six indicated that Hogan had previously been diagnosed with atrial fibrillation — a condition marked by a fast and irregular heartbeat, as defined by the Mayo Clinic. The wrestling legend died on July 24 in Florida, aged 71. Hogan's death was officially attributed to natural causes. Page Six also noted that the Pinellas County Forensic Science Center provided updates regarding his cremation. A spokesperson for the medical examiner's office told the outlet: 'I'm not aware of when Mr. Bollea will be cremated, only that we've received a request for cremation approval.' His official cause of death follows on from claims Hogan felt 'weak' and 'embarrassed' shortly before he died. Eric Bischoff, his good friend, shared details of his last-ever meeting with Hogan. Speaking on the 83 Weeks with Eric Bischoff podcast, he explained: 'I could tell he was weak. He sounded tired. '[Hogan] said, 'I really want to see you, but I'm kind of embarrassed for you to see me this way because I've been pretty sick.' When I look at you, I don't see the same thing you see when you look in the mirror, so f*** that, I'll be down Monday.' Hogan's personality still shone through in their conversations, despite his health struggles. Eric shared: 'It was work for him to have a conversation but he was the same guy.' Earlier this week, Brooke Hogan took to social media to pay tribute to her dad and to reflect on their turbulent relationship. The 37-year-old star said on Instagram: 'When he left this earth, it felt like part of my spirit left with him. I felt it before the news even reached us. I know he's at peace now, out of pain, and in a place as beautiful as he imagined. He used to speak about this moment with such wonder and hope. Like meeting God was the greatest championship he'd ever have.' Brooke also used her post to 'clear a few things up' regarding their estrangement. The realty star wrote: 'It was a series of private phone calls no one will ever hear, know, or understand. My father was confiding in me about issues weighing on his heart, both personal and business. I offered to be a life raft in whatever capacity he needed. I told him he had my support. I begged him to rest, to take care of himself.' Brooke and her husband, Steven Olesky, actually moved closer to the wrestler as he battled with health problems. She said: 'We had been through almost 25 surgeries together, and then all of a sudden he didn't want me at surgeries…everything started getting covered in a thick veil. It was like there was a force field around him that I couldn't get through. (sic)'

Actor Gary Busey pleads guilty to sexual offence at horror convention
Actor Gary Busey has pleaded guilty to a sexual offence stemming from an appearance at a 2022 horror convention in New Jersey, according to his representatives and court records. The 81-year-old Buddy Holly star's manager, Ron Sampson, said in an email on Friday that the actor admitted to touching a woman's buttocks 'over clothing during an 8-10 second photo op'. Advertisement Busey entered a guilty plea to a single count of criminal sexual contact during a virtual hearing in state court in Camden on Thursday. The actor had been accused of inappropriately touching at least three women at the Monster-Mania Convention at the Doubletree Hotel in Cherry Hill, a South Jersey town and suburb of Philadelphia. Organisers of the event acknowledged at the time that an unnamed celebrity guest was 'removed from the convention and instructed not to return' and that affected attendees were encouraged to contact police. Busey had been scheduled as a featured guest for all three days of the event. He was initially charged with two counts of fourth-degree criminal sexual contact, one count of attempted criminal sexual contact and one count of harassment. Advertisement Busey's lawyer Blair Zwillman confirmed on Friday that the other charges were dropped as part of a plea deal reached with prosecutors. The actor faces up to five years' probation and fines when he is sentenced September 18. 'In my view Mr Busey was 'overcharged' probably based on his star status,' Mr Zwillman said in an email. 'He could have just as easily been charged with the disorderly persons offence of harassment by 'offensive touching'.' Camden County prosecutors did not immediately respond to an email seeking comment on Friday. Busey is widely known as a character actor, largely in supporting roles, though he came to attention and was nominated for an Oscar for best actor for playing the title role in the 1978 film The Buddy Holly Story.
