Disneyland, Universal Studios Hollywood, offering free tickets to firefighters
Universal Studios Hollywood announced their "First Responder Heroes Ticket Offer" on Jan. 31.
"To thank those who assisted our community, all eligible active U.S.-based first responders can enjoy one complimentary general admission ticket and a 50% savings on up to three additional tickets, now through April 10, 2025," said the park's website.
The offer is available to "eligible active U.S. based first responders at either a public or private agency/entity," including paramedics/emergency medical technicians, firefighters, police officers/Sherriff's deputies, and National Guard members, said Universal Studios Hollywood.
"The selfless dedication and tireless resilience exhibited by the first responders in response to combating the L.A. wildfires has been nothing short of extraordinary and we are very grateful to these unsung heroes for their courage during this difficult time," Scott Strobl, the executive vice president and general manager of Universal Studios Hollywood said in a statement.
Strobl continued, "When these first responders are ready for a much needed break, we look forward to welcoming them to our theme park."
Tickets can only be picked up in person and first responders must show a "valid government-issued photo ID and valid employee ID card for qualifying first responder occupation," said Universal Studios Hollywood.
On Feb. 7, Disneyland announced a similar offer for local first responders, calling it the "Heroes Ticket." The "Heroes Ticket" is two free one-day "park hopper" tickets, which include entry to both Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure.
"We are inspired by the endless dedication and contributions of the heroes who battled the fires that took place in the LA area, and our gratitude for their service is immeasurable," said Ken Potrock, president of Disneyland Resort, in a statement released by Disneyland.

The Heroes Ticket is available for "eligible California firefighters as well as eligible Los Angeles-based law enforcement personnel and emergency medical technicians who helped combat the LA fires in January 2025," said the release from Disneyland. "The Heroes Ticket will also be available to eligible individuals from other departments that provided mutual aid assistance."
The complementary tickets will be valid Mondays through Thursdays from May 5 through Aug. 7, 2025, said Disneyland, and will require a theme park reservation.
Additional information will be sent to eligible fire, police, and sheriff departments in April, said the press release.

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 to release long-awaited new album amid erratic behavior, marriage woe rumors: report
Wake up, Beliebers! Justin Bieber is reportedly getting ready to release new music. Def Jam Recordings record label will drop the pop star's long-awaited seventh studio album on Friday, according to the Hollywood Reporter. TMZ reported the same, claiming that the album's name is 'Swag.' Bieber's reps have not yet responded to Page Six's request for comment. Reps for Def Jam were also not immediately available. However, the singer seemed to confirm the news by reposting The Kid Laroi's Instagram Story, which read, 'if you don't listen to this album when it drops we can't be friends. sorry I don't make the rules.' Bieber wrote atop the post, which included an image of what looked like the album cover, 'LOVE YOU BROski.' The Grammy winner also uploaded a picture and video of what appeared to be the album's tracklist. He went on to share new family photos featuring his wife, Hailey Bieber, and their 10-month-old son, Jack, which seem to be affiliated with the project. On Thursday, billboards featuring a black-and-white picture of a shirtless Justin — from the aforementioned photo shoot — along with the word 'Swag' started to pop up in different cities, including Los Angeles and Iceland. Hailey took to her own Instagram account Thursday to re-share a billboard pic and support her husband — while slamming rumored trouble in their marriage. 'Is it finally clocking to you f–king losers?' she wrote atop the Instagram Stories slide, adding 'WTHELLY' by Rob49 to the background. Justin spent some time in Iceland in April to put the finishing touches on the project, THR reported, with a source telling the outlet that he was really able to 'vibe out' during 'jam sessions' with a number of collaborators. Gunna, Sexyy Red and Cash Cobain are reportedly among those featured on the album. The Biebers have been battling divorce rumors for close to a year, with many sources claiming that Justin's recent erratic behavior is to blame. However, both he and the model, 28, have repeatedly shut down speculation of trouble in paradise. And while the musician has shown himself smoking marijuana, his reps have denied that he is on drugs.
