Melanie C's Spanish island getaway with Aussie boyfriend continues
Another week, another set of photos showing Spice Girl Melanie C looking loved-up in Europe with her Aussie boyfriend Chris Dingwall. Days after sharing photos of their romantic getaway on the Spanish island of Mallorca, the pair have been spotted on a boat in Ibiza, Sporty Spice looking fit as ever at 51. In one photo, the pop star, clad in a black string bikini, planted a kiss on her Aussie model boyfriend. Dingwall is originally from Sydney but has travelled the world as a model signed to Ford Models and Chadwick. Mel C's not the only Spice Girl to be publicly loved-up lately – Scary Spice Mel B just celebrated her second wedding to hairstylist Rory McPhee in Morocco. Meanwhile, soon-to-be The Voice Australia coach Mel C and her Aussie beau went public at Wimbledon in London last July, days after they were spotted walking hand-in-hand at the iconic Glastonbury festival. But they had been quietly dating for months before that: Melanie's frequent visits to our shores earlier in 2024, ostensibly for DJ gigs, also doubled as quality time with Dingwall as the pair shared romantic getaways in resorts across Brisbane, Byron Bay and the Whitsundays. Since those early days the pair have become more open about their relationship, with Melanie C even professing her 'love' for Dingwall on social media in January after he wished her a happy 51st birthday. Melanie C is undoubtedly the most private of the five Spice Girls when it comes to her love life, largely keeping her relationships out of the public eye since a string of romances with high-profile musicians in the late 90s and early noughties. She has a teenage daughter from a longtime relationship with ex-partner Thomas Starr. The pair split in 2012 after a decade together.

Hailey Bieber's Net Worth Revealed Amid Reports ‘Broke' Justin Is Close to ‘Financial Collapse'
With two famous last names, it's understandable why fans want to know about Hailey Bieber's net worth and how much she makes compared to her husband, Justin Bieber. Hailey was born as Hailey Rhode Baldwin in Tuscon, Arizona, on November 22, 1996. Her father, Stephen Baldwin, is an actor and the youngest of the Baldwin brothers, which also include her uncles Alec, Daniel and Billy Baldwin. Herm other, Kennya Deodato, is a graphic designer. Hailey's modeling career started as a teenager after she was signed to her first modeling agency, Ford Models, and appeared in magazines like Tatler, LOVE, V and i-D. Her first commercial campaign was for French Connection in 2014. That same year, she also made her runway debut, walking for the brand Top Shop. Since then, Hailey has modeled for brands like Guess, Ralph Lauren and Tommy Hilfiger. More from StyleCaster Justin Bieber Just Shared a Cryptic Post About 'Loyalty' After Rumors He & 'Not Happy' Hailey Are 'Getting Divorced' Hailey Bieber's Latest Move Speaks Volumes About Her Marriage With Justin Bieber After He Felt 'So Disrespected' by His Wife Hailey and her husband, singer Justin Bieber, married on September 13, 2018, after three years of on-again, off-again dating. 'I'm not going to sit here and lie and say it's all a magical fantasy,' Hailey told Vogue in 2019 about her marriage to Justin. 'It's always going to be hard. It's a choice. You don't feel it every single day. You don't wake up every day saying, 'I'm absolutely so in love and you are perfect.' That's not what being married is. But there's something beautiful about it anyway—about wanting to fight for something, commit to building with someone.' In an interview with the 'Call Her Daddy' podcast in 2022, Hailey responded to rumors she dated Justin at the same time he dated her ex-girlfriend, Selena Gomez. 'When him and I ever started, like, hooking up or anything of that sort, he was not ever in a relationship ever — at any point,' she explained. 'I'm not interested in doing that and I never was. … I can say — period, point blank — I was never with him when he was in a relationship with anybody,' Hailey said. She continued, 'It's not my character to mess with someone's relationship.' Hailey added that she could 'understand' how her and Justin's relationship could look different 'from the outside.' She continued, 'That was a situation where I know for a fact that it was the right thing for them to close that door. They were not in a relationship at that time, but of course, there's a very long history there. … It has nothing to do with me. I know that it closed a chapter and I think it was the best thing that could have happened for him to move on and be engaged and get married and move on with his life in that way.' But back to Hailey Bieber's net worth. So…how much is Hailey Bieber's net worth and how much does she make from Rhode Skin and other business opportunities? Read on for what we know about Hailey Bieber's net worth and how much she makes now. Hailey Bieber launched her skin care brand, Rhode Skin (which is named after her middle name, Rhode), in 2022 as a clean, affordable skin care line with its first products all under $30. 'My journey towards healthier skin inspired me to develop products that really work, in a way that's accessible to everyone. Rhode is dedicated to making products based in science and great formulation, simplifying many of the mysteries and complex narratives behind efficacious skincare. I hope these will become your go-to essentials that can live in your bathroom, be your favorite travel companion, improve your skin over time, and keep your skin happy and hydrated,' Hailey wrote in Rhode Skin's about page. So how much is Rhode Skin worth? Hailey told Forbes in 2022 that Rhode Skin was 'on track' to hit eight figures, though she declined to give specific numbers. Forbes also reported that Rhode Skin had a waitlist of more than 700,000 people for each of its three first products—Peptide Glazing Fluid; Peptide Lip Treatment; and Barrier Restore Cream—and that the brand's most recent restock at the time saw products sell at a rate of 36 units per second. 'When I run out of my Peptide Glazing Fluid, my skin, like, misses it,' Hailey told Forbes. 'That was how I realized that it was a solid product, because when I run out of my samples, my skin doesn't feel the same without it.' In May 2025, Hailey sold Rhode to e.l.f Beauty for $1 billion. 'When I launched @rhode in 2022, I always had big dreams for the company, and the most important thing for me is to keep brinring rhode to more spaces, places, and faces globally,' Hailey wrote in an Instagram post at the time. 'So today I am so incredibly excited and proud to announce that we are partnering with e.l.f. Beauty … a like-minded disruptor with a vision to be a different kind of company that believes in big ideas and innovation in the same way that I do.' She continued, 'I feel invigorated, excited and more ready than ever to step into an even bigger role as Chief Creative Officer, and Head of Innovation of rhode as well as strategic advisor to e.l.f Beauty. Thank you to the amazing rhode team who have helped me build over the years. I couldn't have done it without all of you. And to our rhode community, thank you for being the most supportive and for being on this journey, this next chapter is going to be even more incredible together.' According to Forbes, Hailey's billion-dollar deal with e.l.f. Beauty broke down to $600 million in cash, $200 million of e.l.f. Beauty stock, and a potential $200 million in future payouts based on the company's growth over the next three years.' Justin reacted to the news by resharing Hailey's post on his own Instagram Story. The news also came after a source told The Hollywood Reporter in April 2025 that Justin was suffering financially. TMZ also made similar claims at the time, reporting that Justin is 'broke' and sold his music catalogue for $200 million in 2022 because he was on the verge of 'financial collapse. A representative for Bieber denied the allegations in a statement to The Hollywood Reporter. '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,' the statement read. Following Rhode's deal, fans told Hailey to divorce Justin to protect her money. 'Just a casual Hailey Bieber observer but she needs to take that $1B money and run from that man,' a user wrote. Another added, 'HAILEY GET THAT DIVORCE NOW BEFORE JUSTIN STEALS THAT MONEY.' In her 2022 interview with Forbes, Hailey also explained her 'fear' that she wouldn't be taken 'seriously' because of who her husband and family are. 'The thing that was on my mind was the fear of not being taken very seriously,' she said. 'Does anybody even take me seriously, as a founder, as an entrepreneur?' Michael D. Ratner, a founding partner of Rhode Skin, added, 'It's a really big gamble. When you're Hailey, you could be the face of a brand. You could continue with no risk and get that cash in your pocket. She went into skincare because that's her first real love.' Ratner also confirmed that Hailey invested a lot of her own money into Rhode Skin. (She declined to tell Forbes the exact amount she invested.) 'She wants to do it the right way and really build up the team,' Ratner said. 'I think she wanted real ownership,' he said. 'She put in a real portion of money to back this thing, and to show people that she was serious and all-in on it.' (Rhode declined to comment on exactly how much money Bieber has invested.) She continued, 'I think it would be very easy for me to just approve something that's 95% perfect and just be okay with the 95 instead of waiting for it to be 100 percent. What I'm learning is that the quality of this brand is really, really important to me.' Hailey also explained to Forbes that she chose to name her brand Rhode, which was passed down to her from her mother's side of the family, because she her middle name was lesser-known versus her married name, Bieber, or maiden name, Baldwin. 'It just sounded so strong, and beautiful on its own,' she said. She told Forbes that her goal was to create a brand that was around for 20 to 40 years and was known for its products, not who its found was. 'I think it would be really awesome,' she said. 'If people just love the brand because they love the product.' At the Forbes Under 30 Summit in 2022, Hailey also explained why she wanted to create a brand of her own. 'I've lent money, my name and my face to other people's creative process,' she said. 'I think that actually has helped me develop mine in a lot of ways. It feels very empowering to be the one that's in charge.' Hailey Bieber's net worth is $300 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth. In comparison, Hailey's husband Justin Bieber's net worth is $200 million, while his ex-girlfriend Selena Gomez's net worth is $1 billion. Hailey's father Stephen Baldwin's net worth is $1 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth. Along with what she's made from Rhode Skin, Hailey Bieber's net worth also includes what she's made from her modeling career, including campaigns with brands like French Connection, Guess, Ralph Lauren, Tommy Hilfiger and Moschino. Hailey Bieber's net worth also includes her hosting careers for shows like TBS' Drop the Mic, which she hosted from 2017 to 2019, and the iHeartRadio Music Awards, which she hosted in 2018. Hailey Bieber's net worth also includes her acting career in music videos for artists like Cody Simpson, Baptiste Giabiconi, Dan + Shay, Ariana Grande, DJ Khaled, Drake and her husband, Justin Bieber. In an interview with Vogue Australia in 2019, Hailey opened up about her modeling career, and why it hadn't been as successful as her friends like Gigi Hadid, Bella Hadid and Kendall Jenner. 'My burn in the modeling industry has been slow, and I've had to learn to be OK with that,' she said. 'I'm shorter than most of the girls. Even though I'm five foot eight [inches], I'm not a runway girl and I totally used to feel inferior to some of my friends. Look at Kendall and Bells and Gig…they're all tall and doing every runway.' She continued, 'For a while, there was a part of me that didn't know if I could have the career I wanted if I couldn't do runway. I don't think that anymore. I had so many people, like casting directors, say, 'We don't think she's a real model.'' Hailey explained to Vogue Australia about how she eventually 'found' her 'own lane' with catalogue versus runway. 'It was disappointing until I found my own lane. I don't look short in photos. You can make it work and not have to do runway, and I've done a good job with that,' she said. 'I'm proud of myself for building a more commercial career that worked for me and being confident about it. I've hosted a show, I did major American campaigns, and a bunch of other things that I've really enjoyed. Sometimes I feel like I'm still finding my lane, but now I know I'm going in the right direction.' Along with Rhode Skin, Hailey also told Vogue Australia at the time that she plans to launch her own fashion line with her husband, Justin Bieber. 'I couldn't register it myself, because Justin owns all trademarking for his last name,' she said. 'Honestly, that was more about being proactive. I'm not sure how I want to dip into that space, and it's been a conversation between me and my husband.'

Lindsay Lohan's father Michael's VERY troubled past from insider trading to domestic violence - all of his brushes with the law following his recent arrest as the actresses rises back to the top
Despite her controversial past which has included a DUI conviction and drug possession charge, Lindsay Lohan has made a return to the top of her game with several glossy Netflix films to her name and a stunning glow up. However, sadly the same cannot be said for her troubled father Michael, 64, who has just been jailed for violating his probation weeks after an arrest warrant was issued for allegedly assaulting his estranged wife. Former Wall Street trader Michael's chequered past has been well documented ever since his daughter Lindsay rose to prominence as a child star in the nineties, most notably in a dual role in 1998 cult hit, The Parent Trap. Michael, who is a father of six, was investigated in the early nineties for insider trading and convicted of criminal contempt of court, for which he served three years in jail in Nassau County before being released in 1993 on five years probation. The former alcohol and drug addict, who claims he got clean when Lindsay was born, was in prison when his daughter began modelling and starring in commercials when she was signed by the Ford Models agency. Michael's next brush with the law was in 1997 when he violated his probation after flying to Napa, California, where Lindsay had been hospitalized following an asthma attack which happened while she was filming The Parent Trap. After breaking the rules of his probation, he was forced to serve another year behind bars as punishment. The violation occurred because he was not permitted to travel out of state at the time. In the years that followed, Lindsay's star only grew as she took on roles in Disney film Get A Clue and blockbuster hit Freaky Friday where she starred alongside Hollywood legend Jamie Lee Curtis. But according to reports as Lindsay's celebrity increased, so did the tensions in the Lohan family, which resulted in an attempted assault charge for Michael. He was involved in a fistfight outside the family home in Long Island with his wife Dina's brother, Matt Sullivan, during a first communion party for his son Dakota on May 23 2004. While he was awaiting sentencing for the charge, Michael's luck went from bad to worst when he was involved in a car crash where he was later charged with alcohol and aggravated unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle. A month later, Michael was arrested again on June 29 after leaving a Long Island hotel without paying a $3,8000 bill where he had rented several suites. Michael also faced assault charges for allegedly punching a sanitation worker in the face because his truck was blocking his car. While in prison after this time period, Michael is said to have taken up singing and songwriting as well as courses in a faith-based sobriety program. Michael and Lindsay's mother separated in 2004 and the following year a spokesperson for Dina confirmed she had filed for divorce. The TV personality spent two and a half years in the Collins Correctional Facility and was released from prison in March 2007. Following his prison release, Michael lived in a Teen Challenge center in West Babylon, New York, and began his training to become a minister of the church. Working within the Long Island Teen Challenge rehabilitation program, Michael acted as a counsellor for those struggling with addiction. Around the same time, Michael also appeared on his own show, dubbed the Michael Lohan Reality Project, which was a 2007 series which followed his efforts to reconnect with Lindsay and the rest of his family. Following the breakdown of his marriage to Dina, Michael met his second wife Kate Major, who he announced his engagement to in April 2010. However, the following year in October 2011, Michael was arrested in Tampa, Florida, on suspicion of domestic violence involving Kate. He was released on a $5,000 bail bond and ordered to have no contact with Kate, but he was arrested weeks later for contacting her via phone. In April 2021, Michael was arrested in a 'patient brokering' scheme for allegedly bringing drug addicts into rehab clinics in exchange for $27,000 in illegal kickbacks. He was taken into custody in Palm Beach, Florida, on five counts of patient brokering and one count of attempted patient brokering. He was among the 100 people who have been arrested so far as part of a state-wide investigation into patient brokering in rehab treatment centres across Florida. Lohan, who is listed as the president of Lola Recovery Ventures, has been accused of bringing drug addicts to treatment centers in exchange for illegal kickbacks. At least nine checks totaling $27,750 were made out to Lohan, Lola Recovery or Lola Recovery Ventures, in 2017 and 2018, according to court documents. He was later convicted and in June 2022 sentenced to four years of probation. In March 2025, Lohan would be arrested for violating this probation. This week, Michael was jailed for violating his probation weeks after an arrest warrant was issued for allegedly assaulting his estranged wife. Michael was arrested in Palm Beach, Florida last month for violating probation and was ordered to serve nine months in jail when he appeared in court, per TMZ. Michael will receive credit for 38 days served but the sentence may see him spend the remainder of 2025 behind bars. Sources told TMZ he pled guilty to violating his probation in connection with his February arrest in Texas on a 'continuous violence against the family' felony assault charge for allegedly beating up estranged wife Kate. Following the breach last month, authorities issued an arrest warrant for Michael linked to his probation from a 2022 conviction in Palm Beach, Florida in connection with pocketing money for steering patients toward a specific rehab facility. On the same day her father's sentencing emerged, actress Lindsay, took to Instagram to share snaps of her son Luai, 21 months and husband Bader Shammas, as well as snaps from her promo tour for new film, Freakier Friday. Kate, who was the complainant, contacted authorities after she noticed Michael in the parking lot of a medical building, a spokesperson for the Harris County Sherriff's Department told February 23. Michael previously told the outlet that he felt Kate had been 'setting him up' to get arrested, as she had 'physically and verbally abused him' prior to his arrest. Michael told the outlet: 'Kate has been threatening to get me violated on probation for a long time. She used these false charges here in Texas to do so. ' In the February 21 incident, Kate placed a 911 call reporting that 'she was concerned [Michael] was following her,' authorities said, leading deputies to respond. Kate told deputies that Michael had 'flipped' her out of a chair at their residence a few days earlier, officials said. Kate, who has past had a series of legal incidents with her estranged spouse, told authorities that 'she felt pain and discomfort' as result of his attack on her. Officials said that Kate, who is mother to two young sons with Michael, showed a female deputy 'the bruising' on her body as result of the attack. Deputies subsequently made contact with Michael, who 'was arrested without incident at his residence,' officials said. Michael Lohan was 'being held on a charge of Continuous Family Violence and a $30,000 bond,' officials told The former couple parted in September 2018 when Major said in a court filing in Florida that the marital union had been 'irretrievably broken,' requesting primary custody of their sons in addition to child support and alimony. Michael is father to two sons with Major - Landon, 12, and Logan, 10. Michael is also father to four children with ex-wife Dina Lohan, 62: Lindsay, 38, Michael Jr., 36, Aliana, 31, and Dakota, 28. Michael and Kate, a one-time entertainment journalist, wed in October 2014 in Hillsboro Beach, Florida, but Lindsay did not attend the nuptials. They parted in September 2018 when Major said in a court filing in Florida that the marital union had been 'irretrievably broken,' requesting primary custody of their sons in addition to child support and alimony. The incident comes nearly eight months after the ex-couple were involved in a roadside skirmish in Spring, Texas on June 26, 2024 in which Michael contacted the authorities. Kate placed a 911 call reporting that 'she was concerned [Michael] was following her,' authorities said, leading deputies to respond. Pictured 2019 in Las Vegas Kate shared a clip in which she was in a driver's seat while arguing with Michael, in a conflict in which no charges were ultimately filed, according to the outlet. 'Get out of the car, I just spoke with your lawyer,' Michael was seen yelling at Major, who urged him to step out of the road. Kate called her ex a 'psychopath' noting that he was 'calling the f***ing cops.' Kate was heard saying, 'These poor kids, these poor children,' then telling Michael, 'You're out of your f***ing mind.' After an officer appeared on the scene, Kate said that Michael had been following her, jumped in front of her car and needed to be taken in on a 5150 evaluation. The clip ended with Major communicating with the officer. Kate said: 'Oh my God, oh my f***ing God, I didn't even get out of the driveway.' Michael explained the factors involved in the tense discussion to TMZ, saying that he had let Kate stay at his home while he and his children were not in town. Michael told the outlet that amid an active 'order of protection' against Kate she was told by both him and the district attorney to vacate the premises by 5pm. Michael said that Kate 'took his car, which she was not supposed to do,' at around 6pm, according to the outlet. Michael told TMZ that Kate had been consuming alcohol with guests she invited over to his house, and claimed that he did damage to the security system he has in place. Michael said that he and Kate had an argument concerning her drinking habit, but didn't notify authorities at the time. Michael and Kate are still legally married, the outlet reported last summer, noting that 'they've been estranged for a few years now.'
