When Sean 'Diddy' Combs was arrested in September 2024, a source close to Bieber said at the time, 'He's aware of Diddy's arrest and all the allegations. It's not anything that he wants to focus on, though.' At the time, his wife Hailey Bieber had just given birth to their son, Jack Blues. The source said that he wanted to devote all his focus on his growing family.When he shot to fame, the 'Let Me Love You' singer cited Diddy as one of his biggest inspirations. He even called out to the record executive mogul for a collaboration in 2009 when he was 15. Though a collab didn't happen then, the two bonded after they were connected through Justin's mentor Usher (Diddy used to be Usher's mentor as well). The two hung out several times for over a decade and appeared to be close.
Bieber was one of the artists featured on Diddy's album The Love Album: Off The Grid. He praised the Canadian singer, saying he 'has become one of the biggest superstars in the world! I met him when he was playing his guitar outside on the street. I'm honored to call him a dear friend and a brother. I never had the chance to work with him until now! God is the greatest!!'
Justin gushed over the collaboration with Diddy saying that it was 'full circle moment' for him. 'I remember going to my brother Diddy's office to pitch him a song I wrote for him when I was like 14, sadly the song was trash haha,' he wrote on his Instagram Story. 'Fast forward to a few years ago Puff asked if I would freestyle something for his upcoming love album. Wild full circle moment, love you @diddy.'
Diddy is currently going on trial in Lower Manhattan, which began on May 12. He pleaded not guilty. Diddy's ex-partner Cassie gave an emotional testimony on what happened during 'freak-offs' which were drug-fueled sex sessions.

Who Is Christopher Briney's Girlfriend, Isabel Machado?
You've probably already heard the news that Gavin Casalegno—aka Jeremiah from The Summer I Turned Pretty—is happily married what about his on-screen brother? As it turns out, Christopher Briney is taken as well, so apologies to all the Conrad supporters out there. So who is Christopher Briney's girlfriend, you ask? Here's everything you need to know about Isabel Machado, who Christopher hard-launched on the red carpet at the 2022 premiere of TSITP. Like Christopher, Isabel is an actor, and she graduated in 2020 from Pace University with a BFA in Acting (which is where she met Christopher, btw!). Per her resume, she's also a trained singer and dancer—plus, she can drive stick shift, which is honestly a flex. As mentioned, Isabel and Christopher met during their time at Pace University—but apparently, they started out as friends. Christopher said of his girlfriend during a 2023 People interview, 'We were friends first. We went to college together and we lived together. We knew that we could do it.' Pls enjoy this throwback pic of Isabel and Christopher when they were ~just friends.~ And this. Oh, and here they are acting together, playing a couple going through a breakup. The talent!! After spending years as friends and roommates, things finally turned romantic in June 2021. Christopher celebrated the occasion one year later with a cute IG pic, which he captioned, 'A whole year!? I could never want anything else.' And more than four years later, the two are still going strong, as evidenced by v cute red carpet photos like these: Can't wait to see these two hit the red carpet again for the season 3 premiere of The Summer I Turned Pretty!!

France's Macron withdraws from UN Palestinian state recognition conference
The conference was intended to discuss the future of the Gaza Strip after the Israel-Hamas War concludes, and to prepare for the gradual recognition of a Palestinian state. French President Emmanuel Macron is no longer expected to attend the upcoming UN conference on the recognition of a Palestinian state, according to sources on Tuesday. Macron encountered strong opposition from the British and Canadian governments, who warned that a unilateral French recognition of a Palestinian state could undermine international coordination efforts with Israel and exacerbate divisions, according to diplomatic sources familiar with the matter. Macron, who had intended to lead the conference along with Saudi Arabia, had reportedly considered announcing France's official recognition of a Palestinian state, a claim that France has firmly denied. The conference was originally supposed to take place in New York between June 17-20. The conference was intended to discuss the future of the Gaza Strip after the Israel-Hamas War concludes, and to prepare for the gradual recognition of a Palestinian state. However, this was delayed due to the Israel-Iran War. Additionally, the US applied behind-the-scenes pressure, which led to the postponement of the original conference date, according to sources speaking to Walla. A new date for the conference was set for July 28, but without Macron's participation. Paris's leading politicians are working to lower expectations with officials clarifying that France is not abandoning the two-state solution, but does not intend to act unilaterally without broad international consensus. French Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot mentioned this week that "the goal is to outline post-war Gaza and prepare for France's and other countries' recognition of a Palestinian state." Amichai Stein contributed to this report.

Clipse Unleash Sumptuous 'So Be It' Music Video Dissing Travis Scott
Clipse has continued the rollout for their anticipated Let God Sort Em Out album with a brand new music video. On Tuesday (June 17), the duo unleashed 'So Be It,' a stinging track accompanied by a lavish music video. Directed by Hannan Hussain, the black-and-white visual stuns with luxury vehicles, jewelry, and more, as the brothers welcome smoke from all corners. In the third verse, Pusha T takes direct shots at Travis Scott. 'You cried in front of me, you died in front of me/Calabasas took your b*tch and your pride in front of me/Heard Utopia had moved right up the street/And her lip gloss was poppin', she ain't need you to eat/The 'net gon' call it the way that they see it/But I got the video, I can share and A.E. it/They wouldn't believe it, but I can't unsee it/Lucky I ain't TMZ it, so be it, so be it.' In a conversation with GQ, the Virginia-bred lyricist explained his disdain for the Houston rager and linked it back to his 'Meltdown' collaboration with Drake. In the song, the Canadian chart-topper exclaimed he'd 'melt down the chains that I bought from your boss, give a f**k about all of that heritage sh*t,' referencing Neptunes-era jewlery Drake purchased at auction. 'The true context of that is we were in Paris, literally working, and he was calling to play P his new album. He came to [Pharrell's] studio [at Louis Vuitton HQ, where Clipse recorded most of Let God Sort Em Out]. He interrupted a session,' Pusha detailed. 'He sees me and Malice] there. He's like, 'Oh, man, everybody's here,' he's smiling, laughing, jumping around, doing his f**king monkey dance. We weren't into the music, but he wanted to play it, wanted to film [us and Pharrell listening to it]. And then a week later you hear 'Meltdown,' which he didn't play. He played the song, but not [Drake's verse].' He continued, 'So, that's where my issue comes in—like, dawg, don't even come over here with that, because at the end of the day, I don't play how y'all play. To me, that really was just like…he's a wh*re. He's a wh*re,' as he described Scott's lack of 'loyalty' to Kanye West. 'So Be It' is the second single from the first album recorded by the brothers in 16 years. It was preceded by the track 'Ace Trumpets' with both being produced by Pharrell Williams. As a frequent collaborator with the group, the 52-year-old produced the entire album. Let God Sort Em Out is officially due on July 11, 2025, from Roc Nation. Along with the album, Clipse is set to embark on a national tour. Watch 'So Be It' above and check out the full Let God Sort Em Out tour schedule below.
