Kim Kardashian Regrets This ‘Odd’ Photo-Shoot With Justin Bieber When He Was Still A Teenager

Posted on 17/10/2025 by Boris Clair

Kim Kardashian has reflected on an “odd” photo-shoot she took part in with Justin Bieber when he was still a teenager.

During an interview on the podcast Call Her Daddy, Kim was asked if there’s anything she’s done that could have got her “cancelled”, prompting her to reflect on the shoot from the early years of her fame,

“I think I’m gonna get canceled if I say it,” the reality star quipped. “Like, I don’t know who approved this, and I don’t know who thought that this was normal, this narrative. But I did a photo-shoot with Justin Bieber, and he was 16 years old. And I don’t know how old I was.”

The photo-shoot in question – seemingly inspired by the film The Graduate – took place in 2010 for Elle magazine, and saw the pair splashing about in the sea, with Kim throwing poses like holding a rose to Justin’s face.

“Nothing ever weird was obviously happening,” she clarified. “And like, I just think that was like an odd concept and [I don’t know] why none of us thought that that was odd at the time.

“But now, we look back and I’m like, ‘that would have not been the most appropriate thing’.”

Kim clarified that Justin’s parents, as well as his then-girlfriend Selena Gomez, were all present at the shoot, insisting there was “like nothing creepy at all” going on.

“But I look back and I’m like, that’s the one thing that I feel like, you know, he’s like a good dear friend of ours and the whole family, but like, who thought that that was a good idea?” she added.

Later in the interview, Kim explained that she first met Justin at a White House dinner, and had previously said she was keen to set him up with younger sister Kendall Jenner, who was 14 at the time, but that he had quipped about being more interested in Kim.

Elsewhere in the conversation, Kim opened up about the breakdown of her marriage with her ex-husband Ye (better known as Kanye West) and how fun it is to “break the internet”.

She also asked for “a little bit of grace” when it comes to her 12-year-old daughter North West’s outfits, following recent chatter around her oldest child sporting looks that included corsets and a dermal piercing.

Hailey Bieber Reveals Her Biggest Pregnancy Craving: ‘You’re Not Allowed To Judge’

Posted on 18/05/2024 by Boris Clair

While that recipe might turn some stomachs, a 2014 study in the Frontiers in Psychology journal concluded that more than half of all pregnant women experience cravings for specific foods, due to rapid hormonal changes or the additional blood production during pregnancy.

Still, biological explanation or no, some fans couldn’t bring themselves to approve of Hailey’s meal.

“Hailey is so pregnant. Egg salad on a pickle with hot sauce. Girllllll,” wrote one user on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter. Another commented: “‘Trying hailey bieber’s egg salad on top of pickle’ will soon be a trend on tiktok.”

“This will be the next important project for him. He’s so excited to raise his baby. They have a name that they think is perfect … They can’t wait.”

Justin Bieber Battling Virus That Has Paralysed Half His Face

Posted on 11/06/2022 by Boris Clair

Justin Bieber has announced he is taking some time off from touring in order to deal with a virus that has paralysed half his face.

In a video posted on Instagram, the singer explained that he’s postponed several shows after being diagnosed with Ramsay Hunt syndrome, a condition that has affected a nerve in his ear.

As a result, he’s unable to blink his right eye and can smile only on the left side of his face.

“This nostril will not move,” he added.

As a result, Justin said, he’s “physically unable” to perform in concert for the time being. Instead, he will “rest and relax” until he’s able “to do what I was born to do.”

Ramsay Hunt syndrome occurs when the varicella-zoster virus ― which also causes chicken pox and shingles ― infects a nerve in the head. Treatment often involves steroids and/or antiviral medicines.

Justin didn’t say if he was taking medicine. However, he said he’s doing “all these facial exercises” to get his face back to normal. He added that he doesn’t know how long that will take.

You can see the complete video selfie below.

This has been a rough year healthwise for Justin and his wife, Hailey.

Selena Gomez Clears Things Up After Fans Accuse Her Of Making Fun Of Hailey Bieber

Posted on 12/05/2022 by Boris Clair

Selena Gomez is shutting down rumours that she threw shade at Hailey Bieber.

After Selena posted a look at her skin care routine on TikTok earlier this week, some fans accused her of subtly mocking a video that Hailey had posted just hours earlier.

Hailey, who married Selena’s ex Justin Bieber in 2018, shared a “get ready with me” video to TikTok showing fans her beauty routine. Later, Selena posted a video of her own, showcasing her skin care routine to Fleetwood Mac’s Dreams.

Selena – whose 2019 song Lose You To Love Me was widely thought to be about Justin Bieber – took to her comments section to clear the air about the misunderstanding.

“This is why I believe in taking care of your mental health. Guys no idea what I did but I really am sorry. Zero bad intention. Deleting soon,” Selena commented on her video, as seen in a screenshot from a fan.

Still, some fans continued to speculate about possible tension between Selena and Hailey, given the timing of Selena’s video.

“LOL I know who she’s referring to,” one commenter wrote on Selena’s TikTok video. “Wait … is she tryna make fun of you know who,” another commenter wrote.

The Wizards of Waverly Place leading lady later turned off comments on the video.

Selena said goodbye to her on-and-off relationship with Justin months before he wedded Hailey. The couple have been married since 2018.

Over the years, fans have theorised that Selena and Hailey Bieber hold resentment toward each other, but the two women have always denied the rumours.

Last month, Hailey addressed the issue in a TikTok, pleading with trolls to finally let the drama end.

“Leave me alone at this point,” she said. “I’m minding my business. I don’t do anything, I don’t say anything. Leave me alone, please. Enough time has gone by where it’s valid to leave me alone. I beg of you, truly. That’s my only request.”

“Be miserable somewhere else, please,” she added.

Justin Bieber Reflects On Wife Hailey’s Recent Hospitalisation: ‘It’s Been Really Scary’

Posted on 19/03/2022 by Boris Clair

The singer spoke to fans while onstage at a stop on his Justice World Tour in Denver on Wednesday night. After a power outage struck the event, Bieber talked about how life “randomly throws you curveballs.”

“Most of you probably know, or seen, the news about my wife … she’s OK, she’s good, she’s strong,” he said, according to video posted on Twitter. “But it’s been scary … It’s been really scary. But I know for a fact that God has her in the palm of his hands.”

In a statement posted to her Instagram Story on Saturday, Hailey Bieber announced that she had suffered a “very small blood clot” to her brain.

She said she had begun experiencing “stroke like symptoms” while having breakfast with her husband on March 10.

“They found I had suffered a very small blood clot to my brain, which caused a small lack of oxygen, but my body had passed it on its own and I recovered completely within a few hours,” she wrote in the statement, adding it was one of the “scariest moments I’ve ever been through.”

The model noted that she had since returned home and was doing well.

Justin and Hailey Bieber wed in 2018. The Grammy winner told GQ last year that getting married was his “calling.”

He also shared that while their first year of marriage was “really tough,” they had since worked on building memories together as a couple, and that he now has someone to “pour into.”

Friends Reunion: Lisa Kudrow Was Left Starstruck By One Celebrity Guest During Filming

Posted on 22/05/2021 by Boris Clair

Lisa Kudrow might be one of the most recognisable people in the world, but even she was left starstuck on the set of the Friends reunion.

The Phoebe Buffay actor has revealed she was very excited when Justin Bieber made a guest appearance on the upcoming TV special.

The reunion will see the main cast joined by some celebrity Friends fans, including Justin, Lady Gaga, David Beckham, Malala Yousafzai and Cindy Crawford.

Speaking to the New York Post, Lisa said of the Baby singer: “I was like, ‘Wait, that’s Justin Bieber, right? Would he be here? Is he here? He’s really here – that’s Justin Bieber!’

“That was kind of exciting. I’m throwing in a ‘kind of’ so that I seem a little cooler. It was exciting. I don’t get excited about meeting people – but Justin Bieber, he’s exciting.”

As well as celebrity guests, the reunion will see the main cast joined by some supporting actors from the series, including James Michael Tyler and Maggie Wheeler – better known as Gunther and Janice.

Joining them will be Elliott Gould and Christina Pickles (who played Monica and Ross’ parents, Jack and Judy Geller), Reese Witherspoon (who co-starred as Rachel’s sister in two episodes of the sitcom) and Tom Selleck (who played Monica’s love interest, Richard).

Lisa admitted she was starstruck by Justin Bieber

The reunion marks the first time since the show wrapped in 2004 that all six of the main cast have been in the same room together in front of the cameras.

Lisa said that she felt “every emotion” while filming the episode.

“It was a lot of laughing and then real blubbering — which, I don’t know if that will be in there, but the puffy eyes are in there, so that’s good. It was an emotionally exhausting and great few days,” she told the New York Post.

The cast of Friends in a promo shot for the reunion

Earlier this week, a trailer for the episode debuted, which promised many tears and plenty of laughter as Lisa, Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Matthew Perry, Matt LeBlanc and David Schwimmer reminisce about the iconic sitcom that propelled them to global fame.

It also confirmed James Corden as the host of the reunion.

Friends: The Reunion will air in the UK on Thursday 27 May at 8pm on Sky One, and will be available to stream on NOW from the same time.
