Justin Bieber’s New Album Hailey and I Are Fine!!! … Paparazzi Suck, Though
Published
Justin Bieber just dropped his 7th studio album “Swag” … and it may be his most personal yet as he gives fans a peek into his relationship ups and downs with Hailey Bieber and addresses his recent outbursts with paparazzi.
The most obvious example comes with his candid track “Walking Away,” in which he croons about a rough patch in a relationship he refuses to leave. He sings … “Girl, we better stop before we say some sh*t / We’ve been testing our patience / I think we better off if we just take a break.”
He doubles down on his commitment, adding … “Baby, I ain’t walking away / You were my diamond / Gave you a ring / I made you a promise / I told you, ‘I’d change’ / It’s just human nature / These growing pains / And baby, I ain’t walking away.”

In the catchy tune “Go Baby,” JB reminds people he’s Hailey’s number one fan through thick and thin, even touting her successful Rhode brand and her new phone case that holds lip gloss, singing, “That’s my baby, she’s iconic / iPhone case, lip gloss on it.”
ICYMI … Justin recently praised the phone case design on social media and admitted to wanting to make a similar case — but to hold his blunts. Problem is that Hailey patented the design, so he asked her to approve his idea to avoid paying her a fee.
He gets more serious in “Go Baby” … telling Hailey she can count on him even on her rainy days with lyrics like … “Cry on my shoulder … you better believe I can hold all the weight.”
Despite all the concern about Justin and Hailey’s relationship … he seems to confirm they’re in it for the long haul. Remember — in our documentary, “TMZ Investigates: What Happened to Justin Bieber?” we unpacked the struggles Justin and Hailey have faced as a couple.
In “Therapy Session,” comedian Druski reacts to the rampant concern about Justin’s behavior on social media, arguing … “He’s enjoying social media like the rest of us, he’s just doing it his own way.”

Bieber holds nothing back, noting that everyone asking him if he’s okay doesn’t sit well with him, reasoning … “It starts to make me feel like I’m the only one with issues and everyone else is perfect.”
The “Yummy” singer trolls the paparazzi head-on in his tracks “Butterflies” and “Standing on Business” by including audio clips of his viral interactions with shutterbugs as of late.

As you’ll remember, JB went viral in June for mocking eager photogsby telling them … “It’s not clocking to you that I’m standing on business!” Hailey also referenced the situation after the album news broke, posting a family portrait and writing … “Is it finally clocking to you f***ing losers?” Message received.
And, of course, we can’t forget the singer’sviral rant from April, during which he accused Coachella paps of only caring about the coin. A snippet from that encounter is featured in “Butterflies,” and he goes on to sing … “Money, that’s all you want, you don’t care about human beings.”
Paparazzi rant aside, Justin dealt with severe financial woes over the last several years — with TMZ revealing in our doc that hesold his music catalogue in 2022 because he was on the verge of financial collapse.
We also revealed he owed his former manager Scooter Braun millions of dollars … and we confirmed Thursday that the pair reached a settlement that has the “Stay” singer handing over more than $35 million to Scooter.
There’s 21 tracks on “Swag” … and clearly plenty of lyrics for fans to unravel.

Bryan Kohberger I’m Not The Christmas Grinch … Call Me The Cookie Monster!!!
Published
Bryan Kohberger is spending Christmas behind bars — and the murderous Grinch of 4 college students is getting a much-deserved lump of coal this year instead of the average holiday prison perks, except for some cookies.
Here’s the scoop … Idaho’s most infamous mass killer is incarcerated in long-term restrictive housing at Idaho Maximum Security Institution, so he has very little access to any activities, according to Sanda Kuzeta-Cerimagic, a spokeswoman for the Department of Correction.
Kuzeta-Cerimagic said Kohberger and his fellow inmates in the restrictive unit are shuffled around in shackles, making it harder for correction officers to move them about the prison for special Xmas activities.
During the holidays, St. Vincent de Paul — a charity organization — runs a program called “Cookies for Corrections”, and they deliver donated boxes of cookies to every Idaho Department of Correction facility, including the Idaho Maximum Security Institution. Among the cookies, there are some famous brand names, such as Oreo, Chips Ahoy, and Nutter Butter (perfect for Kohberger).
Of course, Kohberger made the inmate list to receive the cookies despite butchering 4 University of Idaho students with a knife and landing in prison for life.
Speaking of food … the prison menu consists of “Holiday Turkey Roast” … but since Kohberger is a strict vegan, he’ll probably go for the “Holiday Stuffed Pepper” — paired with vegan mashed potatoes and vegan pumpkin pie.
