Justin Bieber breaks silence and explains truth amid fans’ concerns about his health

Fans of the Canadian-born singer Justin Bieber sparked concerns over his health after photos of him emerged on the social media, showing him looking hollow-eyed and dishevelled.

The musician was photographed at a pop-up event for his wife Hailey Bieber’s Rhode cosmetic line in LA.

Fans were quick to comment on the looks of the singer, who recently became a father.

“He still has some healing to do this is sad,” a person commented. “I can’t understand people who are laughing at this, truly, I just feel bad for both of them, no one deserves this,” another added.

“This is so hard to watch. Someone help him,” a third wrote.

A representative of the singer told TMZ that Bieber is “simply in one of the best places in his life” denying any rumors that he’s using drugs. They added that the singer’s past year has been “very transformative for him as he ended several close friendships and business relationships that no longer served him.”

Further, they said the star is drained by the rumors surrounding his mental health as he is focused on “actively parenting his newborn son” Jack Blues, prioritizing his marriage, parenthood, and creating art.

Justin Bieber had his fans worried before when he unfollowed his wife and his father-in-law on social media back in January.

He then claimed that his marriage wasn’t breaking down, sharing photos of Hailey.

Later, Bieber said someone entered his account and unfollowed Hailey. “S**t is getting suss out here,” he wrote.

Sources close to Bieber told TMZ that his looks is due to long nights of recording at the studio and “caring for his son who was having trouble falling asleep as well.”

In an episode of the docuseries Justin Bieber: Sessions, the star revealed he had started smoking marijuana aged 12 or 13.

He then turned to heavier drugs but eventually decided to quit after he thought he was going to die.

New leading infectious disease: COVID-19 no longer top of the list

COVID-19 has been on top of the list of infectious diseases for a number of years. This is expected as the pandemic, which was global and didn’t spare any country, claimed the lives of a number of people and affected the everyday life of millions.

Recently, however, the World Health Organization stated that tuberculosis (TB) has retaken its position as the leading infectious disease, surpassing COVID-19, as per The Hearty Soul.

WHO reported that in 2023, the number of people diagnoses with TB was approximately 8.2 million. This is the highest since 1995 when the organization started the monitoring process of the infectious disease.

“The fact that TB still kills and sickens so many people is an outrage, when we have the tools to prevent it, detect it and treat it,” said Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, WHO Director-General. “WHO urges all countries to make good on the concrete commitments they have made to expand the use of those tools, and to end TB.”

Tuberculosis is an infection that usually affects the lungs.

However, it also can affect other parts of the body such as the kidneys, the spine, or the brain.

Most people who have TB infection will never develop TB disease.

The treatment of this infectious disease involves the use of antibiotics, and if left untreated, it can be very serious. There is also a vaccine, called the BCG vaccine, recommended for people who are at higher risk of catching TB or getting seriously ill from it. In certain countries, the babies are vaccinated with it right after birth.

TB spreads through the air, when a person who is infected sneezes, coughs, or talks.

This infectious disease primarily affects people from low and middle-income countries, with limited access to healthcare.

56% of those affected are from India, Indonesia, China, the Philippines, and Pakistan.

NHS lists the most common symptoms of TB, which include: persistent cough that lasts more than three weeks, mostly accompanied with mucus and bloody mucus, high temperature and night sweats, loss of appetite, weight loss, and feeling tired or exhausted.

Reason Why Harrison Ford Isn’t Presenting at the Oscars After Last-Minute Dropout

You might be surprised to hear Harrison Ford not attending Oscars this year, despite being scheduled to appear onstage to present an award at the 97th ceremony. Known for his iconic roles like Indiana Jones and Rick Deckard, Ford was initially expected to walk the red carpet — almost four decades after scoring a Best Actor nomination for Witness. So, why did he bail at the last minute?

A Surprising Change of Plans

Until quite recently, Ford was on the official list of presenters, set to join names like Gal Gadot, Andrew Garfield, and Samuel L. Jackson. But the 82-year-old actor’s publicist confirmed he’s dealing with shingles, a painful viral infection known for causing an itchy or burning rash. While it often appears on the chest or back, any outbreak is enough to put a serious dent in anyone’s schedule — even a Hollywood legend’s.

Shingles: An Unwanted Guest

Shingles can cause fatigue, headaches, and a general sense of feeling unwell, which is the last thing you want before hitting a red carpet event. The NHS notes that the condition results from a reactivation of the chickenpox virus, and it’s definitely not something you’d want to try to power through. Ford’s doctors likely advised him to stay home and rest. In short, Harrison Ford not attending Oscars is all about recovering properly from a condition that can take people out of commission for weeks.

Who’s Taking His Place?

Since Ford had to back out, Mark Hamill — another Star Wars icon — has stepped up to fill the presenting role. While fans are excited to see Hamill onstage, they also can’t help but miss Harrison’s presence. It’s been a big year for him with appearances at the SAG Awards (where he went viral just by casually snacking behind co-star Jessica Williams), so Harrison Ford not attending Oscars feels like a major letdown for his admirers.

Oscars Snubs and Surprises

Speaking of letdowns, this year’s Oscars are bound to spark fresh debates about snubs and upsets. From Citizen Kane to E.T. to The Shawshank Redemption, history’s shown us that the Academy’s picks don’t always match public opinion. That said, the stage is set for another memorable broadcast — and if all goes well, maybe next year we’ll see Ford back where he belongs, adding his signature blend of cool and charm to Hollywood’s big night. For now, though, health comes first.

Elon Musk’s ex-wife, Justine Musk, speaks of her ex

Justine Musk, with whom the man behind Pay Pal, Tesla, and Space X has five children with, opened up about their failed marriage and revealed details of their relationship.

Namely, the couple first met during her first year at Queen’s University in Ontario, Canada. Following her graduation, Justine Musk taught in Japan for a year, but she and Musk never lost touch.

An essay Justine penned back in 2010 has resurfaced recently.

In it, she wrote how her relationship with the tech-billionaire became messy and turned into one in which she couldn’t recognize herself any longer.

BBC/The Elon Musk Show/CNN

Titled I Was a Starter Wife, the writing exposes the “red flags” Justine noticed on the night they tied the knot.

“As we danced at our wedding reception, Elon told me, ‘I am the alpha in this relationship,’” Justine wrote. “I shrugged it off, just as I would later shrug off signing the postnuptial agreement, but as time went on, I learned that he was serious. He had grown up in the male-dominated culture of South Africa, and the will to compete and dominate that made him so successful in business did not magically shut off when he came home.

“This, and the vast economic imbalance between us, meant that in the months following our wedding, a certain dynamic began to take hold. Elon’s judgment overruled mine, and he was constantly remarking on the ways he found me lacking. ‘I am your wife,’ I told him repeatedly, ‘not your employee.’

“‘If you were my employee,’ he said just as often, ‘I would fire you.’”

BBC/The Elon Musk Show/CNN

Justine recalled that while they were seeing a marriage therapist, she was informed, not by her husband, but by the therapist, that Musk filed for divorce.

“The next day, I went into my therapist’s office and he had left a message for her to tell me that he was filing for divorce.

“That was how I found out,” she explained.

Besides this, Justin Musk has always praised her now ex-husband’s work ethics.

Twitter/Justine Musk

Speaking at a TEDx talk in 2014, Justine shared some of the aspects of Musk that she observed during the time they were together.

Emphasizing the past tense, she said, “I was married, I was married to a man who became extremely successful. And as I watched him rise, I noticed two things. He worked very hard, much harder than your average bear. And he said no a lot.”

According to her, Musk’s ability to say “No” has been crucial to his success.

“He said no to people who wanted his time, attention and energy. He said no in a way that protected his resources so that he could channel them toward his own goals. And I realized that behind every no is a deeper ‘yes’ to whatever it is that you do want,” she said.

TEDx

This perception shaped Justine’s view of boundaries, priorities, and self-worth. “Your deep yes is your right to dream,” she added.

In 2017, again during a TEDx talk, Justine once again spoke of her ex, saying he was bullied as a child.

“When he was a kid, he hated going to school because the other kids liked to follow him home and they would throw soda cans at his head,” she said. As a way to escape, he turned to video games and learned coding. This led to his first company that he sold in his mid 20s. “Nobody’s throwing soda cans at him now,” Justine added.

President Trump’s Immigration Crackdown: How Far Will It Go?

Trump’s immigration orders worry immigrants”—that’s the sentiment you’ll hear when discussing this latest wave of directives from the White House. In a move that’s prompted both applause and alarm, President Donald Trump has issued several orders giving more federal agencies the power to arrest and deport undocumented immigrants, broadening the scope far beyond what Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) could do alone.

Big Changes for Immigration Enforcement

Among these new instructions, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), and the U.S. Marshals Service are now authorized to enforce immigration laws as well—similar to ICE and the FBI. The rationale is to reduce ICE’s heavy caseload while ramping up immigration arrests across the United States. In fact, ICE has been tasked with detaining between 1,200 and 1,500 people daily. However, as Trump’s immigration orders worry immigrants, critics question whether resources exist to support such a massive operation.

Complex Reactions on the Ground

For many in immigrant communities, fear of sudden raids and the possibility of family separation has stirred panic. Even small rumors of enforcement activity can lead to people staying home from work, sending kids to school late, or skipping doctor’s appointments. One farmworker in Kern County recounted how she took a day off after a Border Patrol operation—before Trump took office—appeared to target laborers. But with bills to pay and children to feed, she returned to work despite the fear. These everyday hardships show Trump’s immigration orders worry immigrants in practical ways, affecting their routines and mental well-being.

Targeting Birthright Citizenship and More

In one of his first-day executive orders, Trump tried to halt birthright citizenship—a practice upheld by courts since 1898. That order was swiftly blocked by federal judges, but it underscores the administration’s willingness to push legal boundaries. Another directive broadens “expedited removal,” allowing certain noncitizens to be deported without a court hearing if they’re arrested within two years of entering the country, anywhere in the U.S. Meanwhile, a newly signed measure called the Laken Riley Act demands ICE detain and deport immigrants charged (not just convicted) with certain crimes. While these moves reflect the president’s vow to crack down on illegal immigration, the continuous expansion means Trump’s immigration orders worry immigrants as they brace for far-reaching changes.

How California Responds

California, a state known for its sanctuary policies, is bracing for conflict with the federal government. Governor Gavin Newsom has scaled back direct criticism of the president in hopes of securing wildfire aid, but the legislature has poured funds into legal and state protections for immigrant residents. State Attorney General Rob Bonta also encourages people to learn their rights and ensures local authorities aren’t forced to cooperate with immigration agents. The tension hearkens back to the legal showdowns from Trump’s earlier presidency, suggesting that while the federal push is strong, states still wield considerable power in shaping local enforcement. No matter how it plays out, Trump’s immigration orders worry immigrants and their advocates, leaving many communities uncertain about what tomorrow might bring.

At least 37 people dead, and many injured in a devastating head-on crash between two buses

At least 37 people lost their lives and many more were injured in a horrific crash between two buses.

The vehicles crashed on the route between the cities of Uyuni and Colchani in the western Potosi region of Bolivia, Reuters reported.

The incident happened in the early morning hours of Saturday, the Departmental Police Command of Potosi said in a statement.

“As a result of this fatal accident we have 39 people injured in four hospitals in the town of Uyuni, and 37 people have lost their lives,” a spokesperson of the police department states.

The injured people were transported to a hospital in Uyuni where they were provided with medical assistance.

As of those who tragically lost their lives, the police is still trying to identify their bodies.

The report by the Departmental Police Command of Potosi stated that the crash happened after one of the buses swerved into the oncoming lane, likely due to speeding.

At the scene, a crane had to be used to turn over one of the buses which had rolled over onto its side in order to be able to pull out the bodies.

This incident comes after one person died and three others were left injured after a bus and car collided on a residential street in north west London. 

When paramedics arrived at Whitmore Road in Harrow, they found a person fighting for their life, but sadly, nothing could be done.

The crash happened around 9pm on Monday.

“We were called at 9.17pm on 24 February to reports of a road traffic collision near Whitmore Road,” London Ambulance Service said.

“We sent multiple resources to the scene, including ambulance crews, a paramedic in fast response car, an incident response officer, members of our hazardous area response team (HART) as well as command support vehicles. 

“We treated four patients at the scene before taking two patients to a major trauma centre and discharging one patient at the scene.  

“Very sadly, despite best efforts of our crews, one person was pronounced dead at the scene.”

BREAKING: Legends Bruce Springsteen and Robert De Niro reveal plans to relocate to Canada amid unrest in the United States

In light of the election results, which saw Donald Trump taking office for the second time, a number of celebrities spoke of their plans to move to different countries and leave America behind.

Unsatisfied with the current politics, celebrities like Ellen DeGeneres, Sophie Turner, and Minnie Driver have already swapped their U.S. homes for residences abroad.

Most recently, musician Bruce Springsteen and actor Robert De Niro allegedly voiced their concerns about the political climate in the country yet again, and spoke of their plans of moving to Canada.

According to certain publications, Springsteen believes that the northern neighbor of the USA offers more inclusive environment, unlike the States.

De Niro, who’s an outspoken critic of the US politics, expressed concerns over the weakening of democratic values and the rise of misinformation.

While Canada has always been a popular destination with Americans who seek some sort of change, the public’s opinion regarding the decisions of Springsteen and De Niro is divided.

There are those who support them and agree with their stance about the current situation of the country, mainly regarding politics, but there are also those who are not happy with their alleged departure.

Whether the two legendary stars move places is yet to be witnessed as certain media outlets regarded the news of their decisions to move as fake.

Most recently, while promoting Zero Day, his newest Netflix project in which he stars as ex-president George Mullen, De Niro was asked by host Stephen Colbert about his heroes.

While the Oscar-winning actor named late actor Marlon Brando and South African leader Nelson Mandela, he was asked about his American heroes. He said it was the police officers who defended the U.S. Capitol from the mob of violent Trump supporters on Jan. 6, 2021.

“I think of the Capitol Police, the guys at Capitol Police. The Metropolitan Police,” De Niro said, as per the HuffPost. “Michael Fanone, Aquilino Gonell, Harry Dunn, Daniel Hodges and everybody else who was involved and affected and hurt by that.”

The flowers you love the most uncover hidden aspects of your personality

Flowers make this world a more beautiful place. We are blessed they are all around us, making our days with their vibrant colors and sweet fragrances. But did you know that the flowers we love can say a lot about our personality? Also, they have held symbolic meanings across cultures for centuries.

Flowers’ colors, delicate petals, form, and smell can serve as mirrors to our inner selves, how we express our emotions, and how deep we love.

So, what does your favorite flower say about you?

1 Daisy

Daisies, one of the cutest little flowers there are, represent a cheerful personality. Those who love daisies the most are believed to be innocent, pure-hearted, and appreciate the simple things in life. Also, these people tend to be optimistic and radiant, spreading joy around them. They are friendly, approachable, and love life. However, by showing their cheerful side to those around them, they may be hiding certain insecurities and their deepest emotions.

2 Rose

The lovers of roses are hopeless romantics who love deeply and aren’t afraid to share their emotions. But, just like the roses, these people have thorns and it takes a lot of time for them to stop being prickling if they get hurt.

At times, these individuals tend to show jealousy and over-possessivness.

3 Daffodil

In the poetry of Persia, poets used the daffodil to connote someone with beautiful eyes. People who love daffodils love to be in charge but also around friends. Further, they are optimistic, strive to attract faithful partners or companions, creative, but also nostalgic.

4 Gerbera

Just as the gerbera flowers, which come in plenty of colors, the people who consider them their favorite flowers are cheerful, and have fun-loving in nature. Also, they love expressing themselves through lively colors.

These people are nurturing and appreciate nature.

5 Marigold

Marigold lovers possess many positive traits. Among the rest, they are considered grounded, practical, appreciative of tradition, spiritual, artistic, and creative.

6 Lily

Ancient Greeks believed that the lily was sprouted by goddess Hera herself. These people take love and romantic relationships very seriously, and are able to sustain long-term relationships. They are empathetic, warm, and wise. However, due to their innocence, others sometimes take advantage of them.

7 Dahlia

Dahlia lovers are considered to be elegant and refined, just as the dahlias, which are connected to sophistication. Whats’ most, they find beauty in the small things in life and are patient, detail-oriented, have a strong zest for life, and appreciate the beauty of individuality and uniqueness.

8 Violet

Violet is a flower that is oftentimes under-appreciated, so those who love it can sometimes be overlooked because of their silence and reserved nature. These people are often simple and straightforward, prefer the countryside, and love nature.
