BTS sensation Jungkook did not joined Usher for the 2024 Super Bowl Halftime Show 

HYBE is facing backlash from BTS ARMY after their five-word statement regarding Jungkook’s absence from the 2024 Super Bowl.

According to Koreaboo, on October 9, the entertainment company managing BTS and Jungkook responded to criticism about their handling of the global star’s career with a terse comment to Ilgan Sports.

“We have nothing to say,” this only intensified fans’ frustration rather than alleviating it.

Upon hearing this response, the BTS fandom quickly expressed outrage, criticising the label for its lack of communication.

“Just quit the entertainment business, seriously,” one fan wrote.

“If Jungkook had declined, they would have used him for media coverage. Instead, HYBE failed to inform him,” another added.

Fans from other fandoms also joined in to highlight the issue.

“Even though I’m not a fan, it’s such a shame. The Super Bowl doesn’t just invite artists based on their Billboard or Grammy status; timing is crucial. If Jungkook’s solo career had aligned, the synergy could have been massive,” one commented.

“Didn’t they claim to have a hundred staff dedicated to BTS? If that many people messed up, I’d be furious. I’m from another fandom, but HYBE really screwed up on this one,” another remarked.

For the unversed, in late 2023, Jungkook dropped a collaboration of his song Standing Next to You with Usher.

Reports suggested they would perform together at the Super Bowl Halftime Show; however, Jungkook, 30, could not attend due to his military service.

Fans’ outrage has primarily focused on HYBE’s mismanaging the global star, further escalating with their rough response.

Justin Bieber had a close bond with Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs during his teenage years

Hailey Bieber tried to stay under the radar as her husband, Justin Bieber, grappled with Sean “Diddy” Combs’ arrest.

According to the Daily Mail, on October 9, the model stepped out for dinner at a sushi restaurant in Los Angeles. 

To avoid drawing attention, she accessorised her casual yet stylish outfit with a dark green New York Yankees baseball cap and sunglasses.

Recently welcoming her first baby with the Never Say Never hitmaker, Hailey layered her ensemble with a black leather jacket, a matching top, and track pants.

She styled her blonde hair in an updo, wore some chains around her neck, and carried her belongings in a black handbag.

Her outing followed a subtle yet bold move just days earlier, coinciding with increased speculation surrounding her husband’s past close relationship with the infamous music mogul.

On Monday night, Hailey shared a throwback photo of Justin on Instagram, showing him flashing both middle fingers while shirtless. The cryptic post was simply captioned, “Mood.”

This post came amid renewed scrutiny of Justin’s former relationship with Combs, 54, fueled by resurfaced videos showing a then-15-year-old Justin spending “48 hours with Diddy,” as troubling allegations against the embattled rap mogul continue to surface.

Paris Hilton, Nicole Ritchie address ‘fabricated’ 2000s feud: A small ‘blip’

A reboot called ‘Paris & Nicole: The Encore’ was announced following its 20th anniversary

Paris Hilton and Nicole Ritchie go so far back that their infamous year-long feud during their The Simple Life era was nothing more than a natural “blip” in their relationship.

The childhood best friends, both now 43 and mothers of two, recently posed together for W Magazine as part of its annual The Originals portfolio, looking as glamorous as ever as they addressed the drama that captured headlines in 2005.

Nicole described their year-long falling out as “a little blip” in their 40-plus-year friendship. Paris echoed her sentiment, saying, “The world was definitely making a way bigger deal of it than it actually was.”

The duo, who became friends at just two years old and starred together on the hit reality TV series The Simple Life from 2003-2007, also revealed that the upcoming reboot won’t dive too deeply into the feud.

“There wasn’t a Will Smith and Aunt Viv sit-down,” Nicole explained to W Magazine. “For us, it was just a small part of our long relationship.”

Paris added that during that era, the media thrived on creating feuds between celebrities. “The tabloids loved to exaggerate and invent stories,” she shared.

The pair reconciled within a year and reunited on-screen for the final season of The Simple Life in 2007.

In early 2024 — 20 years after The Simple Life first aired — Sill and Bill (their nicknames for each other) delighted fans by announcing the upcoming reboot, Paris & Nicole: The Encore.

Taylor Swift receives privilege Prince Harry was denied several times

Prince Harry, who has been in long-running fight with the UK Home Office over his security detail, received a brutal snub as Taylor Swift gets thrown into the mix.

Reports emerged earlier this week that the 14-time Grammy winner was granted a privilege that the Duke of Sussex has been battling to get ever since his security was downgraded in 2020, after stepping down from his senior royal position.

A report by DailyMail suggest that the “reluctant” Metropolitan Police was pressed by Home Secretary Yvette Cooper and London Mayor Sadiq Khan to ensure the popstar received the taxpayer-funded blue-light convoy to her Wembley gigs in August.

The service is reserved for top politicians and royalty only but Swift was allegedly granted an exception, following a foiled terror attack in Vienna, Austria.

A former officer of the MET, John O’ Connor told the outlet that the police should be independent in its decision making.

“The Met is unable to provide security for Prince Harry but he must be in at least as much danger as Taylor Swift,” he said.

Meanwhile, a MET spokesperson said, “The Met is operationally independent. Our decision-making is based on a thorough assessment of threat, risk and harm and circumstances of each case.”

Commenting on the matter, Daily Mail’s Diary Editor, Richard Eden pointed out that “Taylor Swift achieves what #PrinceHarry failed to do….”

The report comes just six months following Prince Harry’s loss against the High Court challenge against the Home Office after losing his right to police protection.

Expert reveals rare details from Meghan Markle’s first year as royal

Meghan Markle, who appears to be a thorn in the royal family’s eye, was once considered to be a treasured asset before everything went downhill.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex stepped down from their senior royal positions in 2020 to carve out a new independent role to support the royal family, whilst settling in the US.

However, royal experts, who have observed the royals in close proximity, suggest that Meghan was a huge asset to the royal before everything changed drastically after her first year of marriage to Prince Harry.

“The first year with Meghan she was fantastic. I travelled everywhere with them,” royal photographer Arthur Edwards told The Sun.

“She was a star, engaging with the public, doing everything you’d expect a lady married into the royal family to do. Then suddenly, everything changed.”

Edwards also remarked about the changes he noted in Harry following his relationship with the former Suits actress.

He shared that Harry “used to be so much fun” during public engagements,” as he recalled the spontaneous way he hugged the Jamaican Prime Minister Portia Simpson-Miller in 2012.

The photographer also shared some funny antics he pulled and his relationship with the press and so it came as a shock when he cut off all ties.

“He used to say ‘I’ll do everything I can to make it good for you, and that’s what shocked me when he just cut us all dead, that one time up in Manchester,” Edwards said.

“I’ll never forget and I was shocked and it was just the day he met Meghan or the day he fell in love with Meghan, and it’s all changed since then. I feel sad about that because he was a fabulous person to work with.”
