Humes played Gail Leery, mom of titular character Dawson Leery, in the teen series, which aired from 1998 to 2003Mary-Margaret Humes was spotted making a rare public outing in Los Angeles last week.
The Dawson's Creek actress was photographed visiting a Beverly Hills hair salon on July 11. She was dressed casually in a pair of slim-fitting, light-wash jeans, a striped linen button-down shirt with the sleeves rolled, and sandals.
The 71-year-old had a brown handbag slung over her shoulder and sported a pair of black aviator-style sunglasses. She also accessorized with a floral-print belt and a beaded bracelet.
Humes famously portrayed Gail Leery, the mother of titular character Dawson Leery (played by James Van Der Beek), in the hit teen drama, which aired for six seasons from 1998 to 2003. The series — which followed a close-knit group of friends in the fictional town of Capeside, Massachusetts — also starred Katie Holmes, Joshua Jackson and Michelle Williams.
The cast of the beloved show has kept in touch over the years. Last month, Humes and Williams, 44, reunited at an event for the latter's Hulu series Dying for Sex.
Humes shared a series of photos on Instagram on June 8 showing the pair catching up and sharing an emotional hug. 'Our first hug in over 22 years … embracing the joy of life with beautiful Michelle Williams at last night's #DyingForSex celebration,' she wrote. 'If you haven't already seen this limited series … you should. She is brilliant in it. #memories #dawsonscreek.'
Humes also shared the photos on her Instagram Stories with the caption: 'A long-awaited reunion with this radiant light.'
In 2023, Van Der Beek, 48, revealed that his onscreen mom marks his birthday in a special way.
"Every year since my mother died, [Humes] makes me cookies and sends them to me on my birthday," he captioned a clip on his Instagram Stories that showed his kids helping themselves to the treats. "I have the best TV momma on the planet."
Van Der Beek's mother, Melinda Weber, died in July 2020 at the age of 70.
Last year, on his 47th birthday on March 8, the actor confirmed that Humes' sweet tradition continued. He shared a video on Instagram, telling fans, "It's my birthday and I just got a package — a FedEx that arrived today from Mary-Margaret Humes, who played my mom on Dawson's Creek."

'Of all the boys who have ever been on television, I for sure had the best TV mom,' Van Der Beek added, before giving Humes a sweet shout-out: "I love you."
In the post's caption, he shared more about Humes' touching annual birthday gesture.
'It doesn't matter that I'm now older than she was when we first worked together, or that I've moved to Texas,' he wrote. 'She bakes them, and finds me, and does it from the bottom of her heart — and it always warms mine.'
Since her Dawson's Creek years, Humes has starred in a number of TV movies, most recently Lifetime's A Cowboy Christmas Romance in 2023.

Nikki Garcia Reveals the 2 Hollywood Heartthrobs Who Represent Her Ideal Man: ‘They Reach for the Stars for Me' (Exclusive)
NEED TO KNOW Nikki Garcia revealed the two Hollywood stars who represent her ideal man while speaking exclusively with PEOPLE at the Netflix Summer Break event on July 17 She also shared some of the key traits she looks for in a potential partner Nikki, who recently rejoined the WWE, is single after finalizing her divorce with ex-husband Artem Chigvintsev in MayNikki Garcia may not be ready to date yet — but she knows exactly what she's looking for in a potential partner. While stepping out to the Netflix Summer Break event in Santa Monica, Calif., on Thursday, July 17, the WWE star — who was joined by fellow pro wrestler Natalya Neidhart — spoke exclusively to PEOPLE about her ideal man. Though she has been adamant lately about not being ready to date yet following her split from ex-husband Artem Chigvintsev, Nikki, 41, said she would "love a man who not only does business but has swag." "I need edge. I like a proper boy, but if he's too proper, I'm like, 'Hmm I can't do it,' " she explains. "So I want edge, I want swag, but I want someone who can run a boardroom, who can get in the gym." After Neidhart, 43, shared that Matt Damon was her celebrity ideal — "Good Will Hunting vibes. That's my guy," she says — Nikki revealed her two picks. "I've always thought more... I'm like Chris Hemsworth, like Troy-type of girl, or Channing Tatum," she says. Neidhart then chimed in, "I mean, those are great options as well. I just think the understated are great, you know, the ones that are the least assuming, right?" "I deserve that," Nikki says. "They reach for the stars for me, baby!" While chatting with PEOPLE, Nikki also revealed that she would be down to go on Love Is Blind, the popular Netflix reality show where single men and women date, fall in love and get engaged, all before meeting in person. "I have to say, I feel like Love Is Blind could be really cool because to meet people, never see them and then see who I connect with — that'd be pretty cool," she says. Neidhart agreed, telling PEOPLE, "I would second Nikki on that because you never know who's out there, and sometimes looks are deceiving, but sometimes you can't judge a book by its cover too, which is very, very important." 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. Nikki finalized her divorce from dance pro Chigvintsev, 43, in May. The pair, who married in 2022 after meeting on season 25 of DWTS in 2017, share a son, Matteo, who will turn 5 on July 31. During a May episode of her podcast, The Nikki & Brie Show — which she hosts with her twin sister, Brie Garcia — Nikki gave fans an update on how things were going between her and Chigvintsev, eight months after filing for divorce. "Artem and I, right now, are in a great place. We are co-parenting so amazing, and it makes Matteo's life so amazing," she said. "And I don't want it any other way. That's why when all of this came up, it sucks because things in Matteo's world right now [are] so great because Artem and I are so on the same page and I want that." "I don't want hate towards Artem," she added. "We're in a good place right now. I hope we stay in that great place for Matteo because it makes Matteo so happy." Read the original article on People

Justin Bieber coughs up millions to Scooter Braun after financial dispute — but the singer still scored a win: report
Justin Bieber has settled his financial dispute with Scooter Braun and the result is costing the singer a pretty penny. The 'Sorry' singer and his former manager reached a settlement agreement on Thursday that calls for Bieber to cough up millions in owed funds to Braun's Hybe company, per TMZ. Reps for Bieber and Braun did not immediately respond to Page Six's requests for comment. As we previously reported in May, an independent audit conducted by PricewaterhouseCoopers (PWC) revealed that Bieber owed Braun more than $8,806,000. At the time, a source exclusively told us the money owed came from a loan Braun made to Bieber over debt accrued due to his canceled 2022 'Justice' tour. 'He stepped in to help him,' the insider shared. Bieber's last minute cancellation of his tour reportedly hurt his pockets. After he accepted a $40 million advance from AEG (the company backing the tour) and backed out, the company asked him to repay them $26 million of the money that was already loaned to him. That's when Braun stepped in and paid Bieber's $26 million debt to AEG through his Hybe company. According to the terms of their settlement agreement reported by TMZ, Bieber was asked to pay back the $26 million owed. Braun will also be repaid half of the $11 million that he alleged Bieber owed for various unpaid commissions over the years. Bieber's growing debt seems to have coincided with recent reports of him experiencing a list of financial woes. Bieber — who has an estimated net worth of $300 million — sold his music catalog for $200 million in 2022. In May, it was reported in a TMZ Investigates documentary 'What Happened to Justin Bieber?' that the singer was forced to sell his catalogue because he was on the verge of 'financial collapse.' 'Justin said, 'I gotta sell it now.' And he sold it in December. That's how broke he was,' said TMZ executive producer Harvey Levin in the documentary. It also appears likely that the debt played a role in his distant relationship with Braun — who, at one point, shared a close relationship working with the singer for 15 years. Last month, Braun revealed his relationship with Bieber, 31, is currently not 'the same as it was.' 'I think there comes a point where I understand he probably wants to go on and show that he can do it,' the 43-year-old said. 'I think you get to a point as a man where you want to show the world you can do it on your own,' Braun continued. 'And I completely respect that. 'I think at this point, that's what he's doing,' he added. 'Myself and everyone from the old team is rooting for him.'

Justin Bieber relying on wife Hailey's Rhode deal for multimillion-dollar payout to Scooter Braun: report
Is it too late now to say sorry? Justin Bieber is reportedly depending on his wife, Hailey Bieber, to pay his $31 million settlement with Scooter Braun. A source told TMZ on Thursday that a term within the settlement specifies that Justin won't have to pay his former manager until Hailey's Rhode $1 billion deal with e.l.f. Cosmetics hits their bank account. Page Six has reached out to Justin, Hailey and Braun for comment but did not receive any at the time of publication. This latest development comes just one week after Justin agreed to pay Braun and his HYBE Corporation $31 million. In May, an audit determined Justin owed Braun millions after being loaned money to pay a debt accrued from his canceled 2022 'Justice' tour. The 'Baby' singer was forced to cancel his tour when he developed Ramsay Hunt syndrome, which caused facial paralysis. However, the cancellation caused the company backing his tour to demand the return of a $26 million loan. Braun, 44, then 'stepped in to help' Justin, 31, pay the debt through his HYBE company. At the same time, the audit determined that Justin also owed Braun over $11 million in unpaid commissions, of which the newly minted fashion designer will only have to pay half. Justin's funds to pay off the settlement will reportedly come from Hailey's billion-dollar deal with e.l.f. Beauty, which she reached in May. The 28-year-old announced she had sold her Rhode Beauty company via Instagram, explaining, 'When I launched @rhode in 2022, I always had big dreams for the company, and the most important thing to me is to keep bringing rhode to more spaces, places, and faces globally.' Before her announcement, an insider confirmed that 'Hailey was 100 percent the breadwinner now.' Justin's settlement also came on the heels of his financial issues being exposed. 'He'll spend $300,000 at the Nobu at Coachella. He hasn't worked in a really long time,' an insider told Page Six earlier that month, alleging that Justin is spending beyond his means. Last October, it was also reported that Justin — who has an estimated net worth of $300 million and sold his music catalog for $200 million in 2022 — was considering suing his financial managers for allegedly squandering $300 million of his fortune. However, a source confirmed that the 'Ghost' singer's spending habits were to blame because they were 'out of control.' 'He spends eye-watering amounts per month. At one point, he couldn't even get a credit card,' the source further claimed. 'Justin is surrounded by a lot of people that do not have his best interests at heart.' Justin's rep has adamantly denied any financial woes. 'Any source that is trying to sell you a story about alleged financial distress … either doesn't understand the entertainment industry or, more likely, is trying to paint an unflattering portrait of Justin, which bears no resemblance to reality,' he said.
