Justin Bieber Makes Statement About True Love
In a post to his Instagram story on Wednesday afternoon, Bieber shared some telling comments about what he has learned about "true love" over the years and how some well-intentioned comments in the past were actually unhelpful to him and made him feel "exhausted."
"People telling me I deserved things," Bieber wrote in a post on his Instagram story, "made me exhausted from trying to prove I was worthy at times."
"[It] also made me feel more entitled at times," he added.
"This language isn't helpful," Bieber wrote. "It either makes us feel not good enough or that we're owed something.
"True love is freely given with no expectation," he concluded.
Bieber has been rather candid in sharing his thoughts on social media lately. Just a few weeks ago, Bieber took to social media to call out the "gossip" and "lies" that have been spread about him by fans and media.
"They treat me like [expletive] out here, but I remember that I am flawed and God forgave me," Justin wrote on his Instagram story on April 24. "It helps me to stop feeling better than those who are mean and hurtful because when I'm really honest, I can be mean and hurtful too."
"My instinct is to be like, 'Damn I wouldn't gossip and spread lies about someone on the internet,'" he continued, "But there's other [stuff] I do I'm not proud of."
Bieber also shut down any and all speculation about his relationship with his wife, Hailey.
"Honestly if I was u, it would be hard not to be jealous of me and Hailey going brazzzzyy," Bieber wrote. "It's really up for us and that's understandable why people can't stand it."
"It's really up for us and that's understandable why people can't stand it. I don't blame em. Hailey and I are the Jones's that are impossible to keep up with," he concluded.
While Hailey attended Monday night's Met Gala, Justin was not in attendance as he played golf and watched the Toronto Maple Leafs game instead. However, he was still sure to show his support for Hailey on social media.

Liz Lee Says She's 'Squashed Beef' with Her Former 'My Life as Liz' Rival as She Plans a 'Nerd Herd' Reunion
'My Life as Liz' aired in 2010 and 2011 Liz Lee is getting some closure on a confusing period in her life. The artist, 34, who was at the center of the 2010 MTV series My Life as Liz, has recently talked about her brief time in reality TV on TikTok. In doing so, she's reconnected with some of her other classmates who appeared on the show, revealing she's even "squashed beef" with formal rival Cori Cooper. "I cannot relay to you guys how healing this has been. Without all of this renewed interest, I wouldn't have found her TikTok, where she started making TikToks about her experience. And it seems pretty awful, what she went through. I just felt so much empathy for her because we were both collateral damage from this machine." After Lee "slid into her DMs," she shared the two had "a really good talk" and encouraged fans to listen to her side of things.

On Cooper's TikTok, she opened up about how, much like Lee didn't know she'd be at the center of the show, Cooper didn't know she'd be portrayed as a "villain." "It was very staged. It's not necessarily, it wasn't scripted, but I was told, 'Hey, say this,' 'Hey, do that,' 'Hey, be meaner.' It was just a lot of weird situations to be put in as a child by an adult," she shared. "Yes, I was 18. I signed my own contract. I didn't have to have my parents' permission. I have a lot of people that were, 'I can't believe your parents let you act that way and let you do that.' They didn't let me act any certain way, or do any certain thing. I was told that this was a show about high school life and what it's like to be in high school. And it was not." Cooper said that she didn't see the show until the rest of the world did, and she was "just as shocked" by how she was presented, adding "a lot of the stuff I filmed was never used." When commenters accused her of not taking accountability for her behavior, Cooper replied, "I actually never said that I didn't own it. I never said that I wasn't a bully. I just said that it wasn't... the show was very one-sided. There was stuff that went on, on both parties. I received a lot of backlash and again, I was never told, 'Hey, you're going to go be a bully,' or 'You're going to be made out to be the bad guy.' " Cooper says that she has "grown" from the experience, adding that at 34, she feels she doesn't deserve some of the backlash she gets. It appears that Lee's friends have also been thinking about the show since her TikToks have gone viral. In a video on July 22, Lee revealed that as part of her plan to watch and react to the series live on Twitch, members of "the nerd herd" would be joining her in an upcoming stream. "I reached out to Sully, Troy, Zona, Miles... those who were once affectionately referred to as 'the nerd herd,' the proud, the few. They are going to join me for live commentary on My Life is Liz on Twitch." The pseudo-cast reunion is likely on the slate for next week. In the meantime, Lee is working on getting Taylor Terry to also join in. "Even Cori said she'd be down, so stay tuned, " she concluded. Read the original article on People

Fake AI photos of Trump with Epstein flood internet
Fake AI-generated photos and videos purporting to show Donald Trump and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein socializing with underage girls have flooded social media, racking up millions of views, researchers said Friday. The surge in deepfakes comes as the US president -- frequently photographed with Epstein during their 15-year friendship -- attempts to distance himself from the disgraced financier, who died in jail in 2019 while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges. One widely circulated AI-generated video appears to show Trump and Epstein leering at a group of young girls dancing, with the song "Is it a Crime?" by the English band Sade added as background music. At least two other fake photos appear to show the pair on a couch alongside underaged girls. Another such photograph purports to shows Trump dancing with a teenage girl on Epstein's private island. Overlaying the image is the caption: "Trump was in his 50's when this was taken. What kind of man does that?" At least seven such AI-generated images and one video cumulatively garnered more than 7.2 million views across social media platforms, according to a conservative estimate by disinformation watchdog group NewsGuard. The watchdog said it used multiple detection tools, including Hive and IdentifAI, to establish that the content was fabricated using AI tools and the actual number of views was likely much higher than its manual tally of high-engagement posts. Trump's ties to Epstein are extensive, and the pair were frequently pictured partying together during their friendship before they fell out in 2004 over a property deal. But there appear to be no known authentic photographs of the pair with underage girls or of Trump visiting Epstein's private island in the Caribbean, NewsGuard said. AI slop -- low-quality visual content generated using cheap and widely available artificial intelligence tools –- increasingly appears to be flooding social media sites, blurring the lines between reality and fiction. Many content creators on YouTube and TikTok offer paid courses on how to monetize viral AI slop on tech platforms, many of which have reduced their reliance on human fact-checkers and scaled back content moderation. AI-generated images of Trump spread rapidly after the FBI and Justice Department said in a July 7 memo that there was no proof that Epstein kept a "client list" of elite co-conspirators as conspiracy theorists have contended. Trump's core Make America Great Again (MAGA) base erupted in anger over the memo, calling on the White House to release the so-called "Epstein files." Some even within the Republican president's own party have demanded the files be released, but his administration has declined to do so. Fake images appear to be gaining traction in that vacuum. The Wall Street Journal reported on Wednesday that the president's name was among hundreds found during an official review of the files, though there has not been evidence of wrongdoing. Trump filed a $10 billion defamation suit against the newspaper last week after it reported that he had penned a sexually suggestive letter to Epstein for his 50th birthday in 2003. ac/sla

'Happy Gilmore 2,' 'Fantastic Four' — TV and movie new releases to see or skip this weekend in Canada — streaming and in theatres
Best and worst new releases of the week, from Netflix hits to theatrical blockbusters Two of the most highly anticipated movies of the year, Happy Gilmore 2 and The Fantastic Four: First Steps, were released this week, both likely to find their own fandom. But if you're looking to tuck into a full series over the weekend, The Assassin and The Hunting Wives are new releases on Crave. A real highlight of the week is Marlee Matlin: Not Alone Anymore, a particularly unique documentary about the Oscar-winning star, now available in select theatres in Canada. A great watch no matter how much you know, or don't know, about Matlin Matlin: Not Alone Anymore — ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Shoshannah Stern's approach to the documentary Marlee Matlin: Not Alone Anymore is incredibly unique. While you would likely assume that a film about the Oscar-winning Deaf actor would largely be told through voiceovers, Stern took a visual approach to storytelling that put American Sign Language (ASL) front and centre. It's a brilliant reframing of Matlin's life story that presents an authentic and candid exploration of the beloved star. Also proving how having a Deaf director leading a story about a Deaf actor is incredibly important and impactful. While the film tackles subjects like Matlin's substance abuse, domestic violence and the pressure of being thrust into the spotlight after Children of a Lesser God, Stern and Matlin create a lasting feeling of joy in the film. Their conversations are energetic, just as witty and humorous as they are emotional, in this really honest and heartfelt story. Where to watch Marlee Matlin: Not Alone Anymore: Now in select theatres in Toronto and Vancouver Happy Gilmore 2 — ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Adam Sandler understood the assignment for Happy Gilmore 2. As a fan of the original film, which I first watched when I was probably way too young, I was craving some outrageous comedy moments, callbacks to the original with fun surprise appearances throughout the new film, and Sandler delivered. It's been almost 30 years since the the first film was released, but Happy Gilmore 2 succeeds with keeping familiar beats, but telling a new story with a different approach to Happy. He's not the same character we saw in Happy Gilmore, his life has evolved in an interesting way, which I won't spoil, but it all helps the film not feel redundant. Happy Gilmore 2 is a goofy underdog story and a movie that knows landing its nostalgia factor is critical. It proves why Sandler is really the best at being silly, giving us another enjoyable film that's just a really fun watch. It's also worth noting that Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, more commonly knows as Bad Bunny, is a highlight as Happy's caddie. I will happily watch him in many more comedies. Where to watch Happy Gilmore 2: Netflix The Assassin — ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ From writers and producers Harry Williams and Jack Williams, who both worked on Fleabag and The Tourist, the new series The Assassin, starring Keeley Hawes and Freddie Highmore is a really engaging exploration of a unique mother-son relationship, within a globe-trotting, high stakes adventure. What really stands out is the great humour in the dialogue, finding that balance that's always satisfying when a big action project can have dimension, and that's absolutely what you get here. Hawes is just an amazing actor, to put it simply, and it's interesting to start a story with an assassin who's retired, and seeing her get drawn back in. Unlike many similar projects, the show leans into instead of shying away from the fact that Hawes' character Julie is doing this as a middle-aged hitwoman, and she's as badass as ever. Highmore is also a perfect pairing for Hawes, playing her son. He's an actor who really has the skill shift through all the different tones of the series with ease, creating a particularly appealing character. Where to watch The Assassin: Crave The Fantastic Four: First Steps — ⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2 Starting Phase 6 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), Marvel Studios is giving us more character-driven storytelling with The Fantastic Four: First Steps. The real beating heart of the film is family, and Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Joseph Quinn and Ebon Moss-Bachrach have the perfect chemistry together to really make you feel invested in this family unit. The story of Sue Storm (Kirby) as a superhero who gets pregnant and has a child is particularly affecting, and she's the emotional core and strength of the film. While sometimes leaning too far into predictable beats, Fantastic Four is a pleasing film, but also made me really wonder how this story could and will expand. Where to watch The Fantastic Four: First Steps: Now in theatres The Hunting Wives — ⭐️⭐️⭐️ The pull of a soapy, sultry drama is just undeniable, and that's the case with The Hunting Wives. Much of what happens in this show feels absurd, but there are so many twists and turns in the story I just couldn't stop watching. Malin Akerman, in particular, is always great at playing characters with fierce personalities, and a mysterious edge, and really shines in this show. While it feels particularly chaotic at the beginning, when all the various threads of this story start coming together in the final episodes, it's incredibly satisfying. If this is your genre, get ready to get sucked in. Where to watch The Hunting Wives: Crave
