Celine Dion Keeps First Paris Comeback Song A ‘Big Secret’
Celine Dion has yet to share with fans which song she will perform first for her run of shows in Paris as she makes her music comeback.
The veteran singer is choosing to remain tight-lipped about the song, leaving her die-hards guessing about which options from her catalogue she would eventually select.
Dion has been largely away from the spotlight since 2022, when she disclosed her stiff-person syndrome diagnosis.
Celine Dion is set to return to public performances for the first time since 2024, and fans are highly eager to see her take to the stage again.
Her first series of concerts will be held in Paris between September and October at the Plenitude Arena in the French capital’s western suburbs, and the singer has confirmed that she is ready.
However, for her first show, she will be keeping the title of her first song under wraps until she gets on stage, as revealed in a recent interview with French broadcaster BFMTV.
“I can’t say, it’s a big secret,” Dion said of her first song when asked by the media outlet.
Dion Admits She’s ‘A Bit Uptight’ Ahead Of Paris Return

Regarding how she feels about returning to public performances after such a long absence, Dion confirmed that she is ready but admitted she still feels some nerves.
“I am ready, and I’m a bit uptight, of course, because it’s been a long time,” she said elsewhere in her interview.
Still, she is hoping to bank on the support she has always received from her fans in Paris to deliver stellar performances across her shows in the city.
“I have always felt supported from the first day and because it’s a story that continues. It’s true that this is my second home,” the Quebec-born singer added.
Celine Dion Revealed Her Paris Comeback In March

Dion’s return to public performance comes after she announced it in a broadcast beneath the city’s iconic Eiffel Tower to mark her birthday earlier in the year.
“This year, I’m getting the best birthday gift of my life,” the 58-year-old said. “I’m getting the chance to see you, to perform for you once again in Paris, beginning in September! I’m feeling good. I’m strong. I’m feeling excited — obviously a little nervous — but most of all, I’m grateful to all of you.”
The five-time Grammy winner will kick off the Paris residency on September 12, followed by more than a dozen shows, which end on October 17. The singer is also expected to perform 10 more shows in May next year.
The Singer Says She’s ‘Doing Great’ Ahead Of Paris Return

Fans who have followed Dion over the years know she has been dealing with stiff-person syndrome, which she first disclosed in 2022.
In her birthday message, she thanked fans for their prayers and also shared a health update to allay their fears about her well-being.
“I’ve recorded a lot of birthday messages, but this is the first time I’ve ever recorded one for my own birthday,” the vocalist shared at the start of the clip. “I want to let you know that I’m doing great, managing my health, feeling good. I’m singing again, even doing a little dancing.”
Celine Dion Details Her Health Struggles Ahead Of Paris Return

For Harper’s Bazaar September issue, Dion drew back the curtain on her stiff-person syndrome, revealing she had lived with the symptoms for nearly two decades before receiving a formal diagnosis.
She described the ailment as a “progressive condition,” adding that she felt uncomfortable referring to it as a disease.
In the interview, she also revealed her preparation for her upcoming residency. This includes regular 90-minute Pilates sessions, ballet classes, and a rehabilitation program to help her perform at her best.
Elsewhere, she shared that her comeback was inspired by a desire to show fans how much she missed them during her leave of absence.

RHOSLC’s Britani Bateman Gives Jared Osmond Romance Update
The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City’s Britani Bateman is giving Us an exclusive update on her relationship status with notoriously on-again, off-again boyfriend Jared Osmond.
“You know, it’s always complicated,” Britani, 55, exclusively told Us on Thursday, August 27, while promoting her cabaret show titled What About Me? at 54 Below in New York City, running on Sunday, August 30, Monday, August 31 and Wednesday, September 2.
“Just literally, when I think that never, ever, ever, ever, ever again, I’m like, ‘Okay,’ and then we’ll start talking again,” she confessed. “Like, never say never. I’ve learned to never say never. In fact, he was supposed to be here today. Like, that’s how never say never.”
She continued, “It’s so hard. It’s so hard because we love each other, and whether we’re actually right for each other — I don’t know. And again, people only see a little slice of the relationship – the toxic part, sadly. So they don’t see all the good. So I don’t know. Right now, no. Right now we’re not together.”
This February, Britani confirmed that she split from Jared, 55, again via an Instagram video featuring the better moments of their up-and-down romance.
The reality TV personality, who said she decided to include the video montage to “show the world our relationship,” added at the time that she was “walking away from something and someone I truly love.”
“My heart is broken,” she added in February.

Jared responded to Britani’s public announcement in a statement sent exclusively to Us at the time, admitting he was “surprised” by the video.
“I was alarmed to see what looked like a eulogy to me today on her Instagram,” he said at the time. “I don’t truly understand her mindset. I love that girl. I’ll love her forever.”
“Right now we’re not together because I called it quits again,” Briani told Us of their relationship status on Thursday. “And yet, we might start talking again. I mean, I’ve learned to never say never. That’s what I’m saying.”
Britani went on to admit that the pair have broken up “50” times at this point, “literally,” before dishing on her family’s dynamic with her on-again, off-again love.
“They have every reason to be guarded and protective, and they love Jared,” she dished. “So you know, he’s really — really, he’s a great dad. I mean, he’s such a good dad. He’s so good to my kids. And he calls my dad ‘dad,’ so yeah, my family loves him. He’s done wonderful things for my family and for me and for my kids. So you know, it’s hard not to love the guy.” (Britani’s daughters have alleged their mom prioritizes men over her children. The reality TV star was estranged from her children for some time, though they have since reconciled.)
“I’ll be able to speak to that more and to why my daughters and I were estranged a little bit,” she continued. “You know, maybe this season but definitely, like, next year, when everything has cooled down a little bit in that department.”
Meanwhile, Britani is admittedly “dating up a storm,” focusing on her cabaret return via her beloved show What About Me? and preparing for the release of her upcoming book, due out next year, which has had a variety of name iterations.
“It’s called, well, it’s had lots of names,” she told Us. “What’s it called right now? Dating Fight Club, because … it’s Britani’s dating secrets … I use a spreadsheet and I do two or three dates a night to keep it efficient. And then you get bumped up if date number one goes well, like a coffee date. You get bumped up to date number two, which is dinner … I know it sounds nuts, but it really works. It’s a system that works, and then I have traits, you know, traits as the column, and a guy has to hit all the boxes.”
She continued, “And I was just on Fire Island, which was amazing … There was such beautiful energy on Fire Island, both in Cherry Grove and in the Pines, and I just felt so much love. I did my show What About Me? at the very end — the kick off the Ting Ting Ting Tour on Fire Island, and the end I did my single drop party as well [for] ‘What About Me?’ I sang it live for the first time. So, so much fun.”
All six seasons of The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City are available for streaming on Peacock. RHOSLC season 7 premieres on Wednesday, September 16, at 8pm EST on Bravo and available to stream on Peacock at 6 an EST the following day.

The Clean Medicine Every Parent Needs for the School Year
Us Weekly has affiliate partnerships. We receive compensation when you click on a link and make a purchase. Learn more!
A new school year can be exciting, but every experienced parent knows what it really means: It’s only a matter of time before the germs start coming home. After a summer of zero classrooms and plenty of outdoor activity, the kids are all thrown together again, and it’s time for the germ cycle to reset. Households that enjoyed a symptom-free summer are going to be hit with all sorts of viruses and colds within the first few weeks of school starting, and it’s safe to say no one is looking forward to that.
While you can’t prevent these illnesses (they are, unfortunately, part of life), you can feel as prepared as possible. Stock up on medication before sickness strikes your household, not during. Adding Genexa, a clean medicine company, to the top of your school supply list is the most important step in starting the year off prepared.
Medicine rarely makes the school supply list, but it deserves a spot – you want to have pain relievers on hand when your child wakes you up at 2 A.M. complaining of a sore throat rather than being forced to make an early morning run to the drugstore. Take a thorough look at your medicine cabinet to make sure it’s age-appropriate and not out of date — chances are good that something needs to be replaced.
That’s where Genexa comes in. It’s the first clean medicine company that offers pain relief without a side of unnecessary additives. The company was founded by actual parents who wanted better options for their kids, and it shows: its pain relief formulas contain the same effective active ingredients as leading brands, but without the artificial preservatives, sweeteners and dyes that have become so commonplace.
If you’re trying to avoid artificial ingredients in your kids’ lunchboxes and after-school snacks, it only makes sense to avoid them in their medicine. Genexa is made with active ingredients that can help ease symptoms, but you won’t find dyes, common allergens (like gluten or artificial sweeteners) or high-fructose corn syrup, so you can feel good about giving it to your kids whenever they need it.
Since Genexa is designed with kids in mind, it’s made to taste good to little taste buds without all of the fake stuff. Flavors come from organic sources like agave, blueberry, cherry and acai. Plus, it boasts USDA Organic and Non-GMO certifications across its product range. In a 2025 study, pediatricians preferred Genexa’s ingredients for treating their patients’ pain and fever versus those in the leading brand’s top-selling comparable products.
Remember: Germ season is practically underway, and being prepared is half the battle. Adding Genexa’s pain and fever medication to your school supply list can help make sick days feel less overwhelming — and doesn’t require you to compromise on your wellness goals for your kids. Even better? It’s all available on Amazon!

Paramount+’s Best Romance Series Deserves Your Attention Before Its Season 3 Return
For viewers who need more rom-coms in their lives, Colin from Accounts is the perfect relationship comedy to fill the void. The Australian series, which airs on Paramount+ in the U.S., revolves around an awkward couple, Ashley (Harriet Dyer) and Gordon (Patrick Brammall), as they figure out their relationship potential. The pair first come together through an accident involving a dog, who they later name Colin. Because of the state of Colin’s injuries, the pair quickly go from being total strangers to doggy co-parents.
Ashley and Gordon spend the bulk of Season 1 navigating their newfound relationship, trying to figure out if they actually do want to be together or if it’s just Colin keeping them connected. They’re both extremely flawed and insecure in their own ways, and each takes a turn at doubting the validity of their connection. Thanks to the characters’ amazing chemistry, sense of humor, and endearing romantic fumbles, Colin from Accounts is a total joy to watch.
What Is ‘Colin From Accounts’ About?
Ashley and Gordon’s meet-cute sets up the premise for the entire show. We first meet Ashley as she’s pining over her ex-boyfriend James (Tai Hara) and running late for work at the hospital where she’s training as a medical student. Heading to work in a bit of a hungover state, she cheekily flashes Gordon while crossing the street in front of his car. Distracted by Ashley’s move, Gordon accidentally hits a dog with his car, and they both share in the guilt of what’s happened to this poor little stray. They bring the dog to Gordon’s ex-girlfriend (Annie Maynard), who happens to be a vet named “Yvette.” Ashley and Gordon decide to co-fund the dog’s surgery rather than put it down, which means that they are stuck together to care for the dog and his new specialized needs.
As Ashley and Gordon spend more and more time together, their feelings for each other grow from dog-parenting partners to something more romantic. When their relationship changes, they have to confront the reality that Colin will keep them connected for as long as he’s alive, and therefore, they’ll have to be in each other’s lives for the long haul. Over the course of the series, Ashley and Gordon go back and forth on whether they’re really suited for each other, or if their relationship is just a result of Colin tying them together.
Even as their relationship evolves, Ashley and Gordon experience personal insecurities that come with the territory of starting a new romance. Since Ashley is still getting over her feelings for James, she is low on self-confidence and takes it personally when a hook-up with Gordon fizzles out. Meanwhile, Gordon is recovering from cancer and keeps it to himself as he spends a lot of time worrying rather than living his best life. He seems stuck in some unhealthy patterns, but with the arrival of Ashley and Colin, he begins to break out of them. One thing at the forefront of the new couple’s minds is their age gap. Since she’s a med student, Ashley worries that perhaps Gordon is too old for her. Gordon tries his best to be cool and trendy for her friends when he hosts her birthday party at the microbrewery he co-owns, but it goes so horribly wrong that he actually ends up doubting their whole relationship.
The real-life husband and wife team of Harriet Dyer (Ashley) and Patrick Brammall (Gordon) have amazing onscreen chemistry, and their authenticity as a couple shines through in their performances. They have an ease in their rapport, while their charming and witty banter holds the show together. Because Gordon and Ashley unexpectedly complement each other in personalities, insecurities, sensibilities, and humor, you can’t help but root for this couple to get together, even when they make it very difficult for themselves.
‘Colin From Accounts’ Also Has a Great Supporting Cast
It’s not just insecurities and outside friendships that get in the way of Ashley and Gordon’s romantic future. Their past relationships, work, and family also become heavily involved in the plot to further flesh out the couple’s lives and complications. Colin from Accounts‘ supporting cast plays an excellent group of characters, each endearing and witty in their own right.
Gordon’s ex-girlfriend, Yvette, the vet, offers a dry sense of humor, while his two colleagues at the microbrewery, Chiara (Genevieve Hegney) and Brett (Michael Logo), often act as his voice of reason, giving him advice and guidance. The dynamic between the three friends at work is blunt and raw, reminiscent of a group of best mates constantly teasing each other in a mutual way. Meanwhile, Ashley’s circle includes her best friend and coworker, Megan (Emma Harvie), who tells it like it is but happens to be so likable that even Gordon’s colleagues fall in love with her. Ashley’s ex-boyfriend James really comes across as a huge jerk, making the audience root for Gordon even more. One of the show’s best supporting characters is Ashley’s mother Lynelle (Helen Thomson). While their relationship is mostly played for laughs, with Lynelle being eccentric, to say the least, behind their complicated dynamic is a mother who truly cares for her daughter.
For anyone looking for a great rom-com, Colin from Accounts is a well-rounded, funny take on the genre. With an awkward couple at its core and a hilarious supporting cast to flesh out the season, it’s a charming and quirky series that has you rooting for Ashley and Gordon from the get-go — and it also doesn’t hurt that there’s an adorable dog at the center of it all. Colin from Accounts tugs at the heartstrings, tickles the funny bone, and is genuinely the best streaming romance of the moment.

Ricky Schroder Doubles Down On Dolly Parton Vaccine Criticism
Ricky Schroder is standing by his criticism of Dolly Parton’s COVID-19 vaccine advocacy following her death at 80. The actor has now claimed he personally warned the country icon against supporting vaccination efforts and that she should have listened.
Among the celebrities who slammed him for his original post, the band Garbage point-blank told him to “f-ck off.”
Ricky Schroder has doubled down on his criticism of Dolly Parton’s vaccine advocacy just days after the country music legend’s death.
The “NYPD Blue” actor shared a clip on his Instagram Story in which Parton discusses her Moderna COVID-19 vaccination. Parton famously donated $1 million toward early coronavirus vaccine research.
“I warned Dolly to not support the Experiment,” Schroder wrote over the clip, according to Entertainment Weekly. He added that he “wished she listened,” alongside a frowning emoji.
Schroder previously played Parton’s father in the TV movies “Dolly Parton’s Coat of Many Colors” and “Dolly Parton’s Christmas of Many Colors: Circle of Love.”
Schroder Comes Under Fire For Political Dolly Parton Tribute
Schroder found himself embroiled in a heated internet backlash after using a memorial post for country music legend Dolly Parton to highlight his personal political grievances.
Following Parton’s passing at age 80, the “NYPD Blue” star took to social media to share a throwback photo of himself alongside the late icon.
However, it was the caption accompanying the image that quickly sparked heavy backlash.
“I didn’t agree with her advocating for Transgender & Covid Vaccine support…but Loved her anyway. Thank you for choosing me Dolly to be your Movie Daddy,” Schroder shared on Threads.
Dolly Parton Personally Chose Ricky Schroder To Play Her Father

Schroder famously portrayed Parton’s father, Robert Lee Parton, in the 2015 NBC television film “Dolly Parton’s Coat of Many Colors” and its 2016 sequel, “Dolly Parton’s Christmas of Many Colors: Circle of Love.”
He previously explained that the late “Jolene” singer herself had personally selected him for the role, noting at the time that he reminded her of her actual father.
“It started with Dolly, who was very hands-on in choosing the cast for her family,” Schroder said. “Then I heard from Dolly that I reminded her of her father Lee Parton.”
Fans And Celebrities Turn On Ricky Schroder Over Dolly Tribute

Regardless of the cordial professional relationship he had with Parton, fans and public figures were quick to call Schroder out for airing his ideological differences during a moment of global mourning.
Rock band Garbage gave a blunt and fiery two-word rebuttal, telling him to “f-ck off,” while Brandon Frankel, partner to Gabourey Sidibe, commented, “Way to ruin your tribute -sshole.”
Comedian Murray Hill wrote, “Guess you didn’t listen to her thoughts on not judging people and allowing people to be who they are. How lame to be divisive and hate-fueled in the same breath as someone who has done so much and is filled with love and empathy. No love like Christian hate.”
A Reddit user wrote, “Using someone’s death as an excuse to advocate for something they would have hated is pretty low, yeah.”
A second user fired, “If your ‘tribute’ includes telling the world how a person was wrong, then it isn’t a tribute, it’s a last dig.”
Dolly Parton Passed After A Private Battle With Cancer

Meanwhile, tributes continue to pour in for the global icon from all quarters, including Donald Trump, Barack Obama, Jeff Bezos, Miley Cyrus, and a host of other Hollywood celebrities.
She has been celebrated not just for her hit songs, but also for her extensive philanthropy, including a famous $1 million donation to Vanderbilt University Medical Center that helped with COVID-19 research.
A rep for the singer told PEOPLE that she passed after a “brief battle with cancer,” although its exact nature remains unclear. Days before the shocking news, TMZ reported that she was hospitalized with “kidney and autoimmune issues.”
“Our beloved Dolly Parton spent her life and career bringing joy, laughter, hope, and integrity into everything she touched. Her unmatched generosity reached the lives of countless people whom she would never meet, yet she was always there to offer a helping hand,” the reps told the news outlet.
They added, “Whether it be the hundreds of millions of books donated through her invaluable Imagination Library or funding research that helped create a lifesaving vaccine used around the world, Dolly’s unconditional love for all people was the guiding force for her lasting impact. After bravely facing a brief battle with cancer, Dolly departed her Earthly life today at the Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center, surrounded by loved ones.”

Tom Hanks’ Beloved 189-Minute Stephen King Classic Climbs to #1 on Streaming
Few movie stars carry as much name recognition as Tom Hanks, who has starred in some of the most important movies of all time. Hanks is a two-time Oscar-winner, and he even won his awards in back-to-back years for his performances in Philadelphia and Forrest Gump. Hanks was nominated five years prior for his work on Big, and he’s also been nominated for his performances in Saving Private Ryan, Cast Away, and A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood — most fans agree that Hanks losing for Saving Private Ryan is one of the most surprising snubs of all time. More recently, Hanks starred in one of the most underrated Apple TV projects in history with Greyhound, the WWII submarine thriller co-starring Stephen Graham. Hanks and Graham are set to return in a sequel to Greyhound that’s coming to Apple TV soon.
The longest movie of Hanks’ career recently celebrated its 25th anniversary a few years ago, when 2024 marked 25 years since The Green Mile hit theaters around the world. Based on the famous novel of the same name by Stephen King, The Green Mile clocks in with a behemoth runtime of three hours and nine minutes, making it almost 20 full minutes longer than the second-longest movie of Hanks’ career, Cloud Atlas. The Green Mile also stars the late Michael Clarke Duncan, and although it’s been over 25 years since the film was in theaters, it’s still relevant even to this day. The Green Mile is lacking a streaming home in America right now, but the film has quietly become one of the top 10 most-popular VOD purchases around the world on Prime Video and Apple TV in several countries.
What Is ‘The Green Mile’ About?
The official synopsis for The Green Mile, which earned scores of 78% from critics and 94% from audiences on Rotten Tomatoes, reads as follows: “Paul Edgecomb walks the mile with a variety of cons. He has never encountered someone like John Coffey, a massive black man convicted of brutally killing a pair of young sisters. Coffey has the size and strength to kill anyone, but not the demeanor. Beyond his simple, naive nature and a deathly fear of the dark, Coffey seems to possess a prodigious, supernatural gift. Paul begins to question whether Coffey is truly guilty of murdering the two girls.” Additional cast members for The Green Mile include David Morse as Brutus Howell, Bonnie Hunt as Jan Edgecomb, James Cromwell as Warden Hal Moores, and Graham Greene as Arlen Bitterbuck.
Check out The Green Mile on VOD platforms like Prime Video and Apple TV and stay tuned to Collider for more updates and coverage of Tom Hanks’ future projects.

Peter Cullen’s Legendary Sci-Fi Monster Is Officially Hunting Its Way Off Streaming
One of the longest-running sci-fi franchises in history recently saw a resurgence thanks to a string of well-received films. In fact, the franchise appears to be in better shape than Ridley Scott’s Alien series, which hasn’t shown significant progress since the successful Alien: Romulus in theaters and Alien: Earth on television. Its counterpart, on the other hand, recently returned to the big screen after carefully seeding a comeback on streaming. It remains to be seen where the series will go next, but the reception of the most recent installments has certainly piqued interest in its origins. Now, fans can revisit the movie with which it all began before it leaves Peacock in a few days.
The franchise started in 1987 with a hit movie that is now regarded as a classic of the sci-fi action genre. It was headlined by the biggest action star of the 1980s, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and was released only a few years after the success of James Cameron’s The Terminator. The movie grossed nearly $100 million worldwide — $20 million more than Cameron’s film — against a reported budget of $18 million and spawned a series that has experienced several ups and downs in the decades since.
Here’s How Long You Have Left to Watch the Sci-Fi Action Hit on Peacock
We’re talking, of course, about Predator, directed by John McTiernan. Incidentally, McTiernan is responsible for directing three franchise-starters. In addition to Predator, he also directed Die Hard and The Hunt for Red October; not to mention The Thomas Crown Affair, which is about to be remade by Michael B. Jordan. Predator follows a group of soldiers sent to rescue hostages in a South American jungle, but are faced with an alien threat (voiced by Peter Cullen). It holds a 65% score on the aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, and will be available on Peacock until September 1. After a couple of failed reboots — Predators, released in 2011, and The Predator, released in 2018 — the series was given a shot in the arm by director Dan Trachtenberg with a trio of well-received installments, Prey, Predator: Killer of Killers, and Predator: Badlands. Stay tuned to Collider for more updates.

Nevaeh Akira Claps Back At Jaidyn Alexis’ Claims About Her Son
Whew, Roomies! Things are really heating up now that Nevaeh Akira and Blueface have welcomed their first child together, a son named Jonathan Jamal Porter Jr. Jaidyn Alexis shares two children with the rapper, Javaughn and Journey Porter, and during a recent interview, she said her kids won’t meet their new sibling until Jonathan Jr.’s paternity is confirmed. Well, chile, that comment led Nevaeh to step in with some words.

Nevaeh Akira Responds To Jaidyn Alexis’ Comments About Her & Blueface’s Newborn Son
Nevaeh Akira has entered the chat after Jaidyn Alexis said her kids won’t be meeting her and Blueface’s newborn son. Jaidyn questioned the paternity of Nevaeh and Blue’s baby boy, but Nevaeh quickly clapped back in a new video, making it clear that Jonathan Jamal Porter Jr. is definitely the rapper’s son. “This is his baby, b**ch. Hello! It’s his baby b***h.”
Nevaeh also addressed Jaidyn’s shade over naming her son after Bueface, explaining that she had to use his full name if he’s a junior. “Yeah, Jonathan Jamal Porter Jr. That’s him!” She continued, “How the f**k can I take a child’s middle name if that’s the n***a whole full f*****g name.” From there, she called Jaidyn bitter and said it’s okay if she’s mad and hating. “See I’m not a bitter a** b***h, but I get you is.

Jaidyn Alexis Doubles Down On Keeping Her Kids Away From Nevaeh & Blueface’s Son
Recently, Jaidyn Alexis spoke exclusively with TMZ and kept it real about how she feels about Blueface and Nevaeh’s son. She said she has no plans for her kids to meet their new sibling.
“No plans for that,” Jaidyn added, “Not anywhere near close by.”
Jaidyn also said she doesn’t think Blueface is moving right and thinks the name could eventually bother their son, Javaughn.
“I think it’s mad disrespectful that you would name some kid that you don’t even know if yours with the same middle name as Javaughn. It could’ve been a Jonathan Porter […] it could’ve been. But it didn’t need to have all that. So I feel like you’re mad disrespectful to my son,” she said.
Alexis continued to go off on Nevaeh, claiming that her constant videos online are just an act. She also said she believes Nevaeh always wanted to have a rapper as her child’s father.
“All that victim stuff that’s going on […] not going for it. And I hope the world isn’t going for it,” Jaidyn added. “I think she got what she came for. I think she wanted a rapper baby dad and a baby. And now you’re sitting there like, ‘Oh, I thought you were going to change.’ Why would he change?’ He’s been the same for 15 years. Are you stupid or slow?”

Hailey Bieber’s Dad Sparks Concern With Tearful TikTok Video
Stephen Baldwin left some social media users concerned and confused after sharing an emotional TikTok video of himself crying while listening to Christian music. The 60-year-old actor, who has spoken openly about his faith and decision to step away from mainstream Hollywood, recorded himself listening to Clara Woods’ “This Is the Air I Breathe.”
Baldwin appeared overwhelmed by the song as tears filled his eyes, but he did not indicate that he was experiencing a personal crisis. The video instead appeared to be an emotional expression of his religious devotion.

In the TikTok upload, Baldwin wore a black baseball cap backward as he listened to the worship song and began to cry. “So blessed. So blessed. So blessed. He is the air I breathe #Hallelujah,” he wrote in the caption. He then told his 401,000 followers to “have a great day.”
Although Baldwin presented the moment as a positive experience connected to his faith, several viewers admitted that the unexplained display made them uncomfortable.
“Terrifying per usual. Thank you, Stephen,” one person wrote. Another directly called upon his daughter, Hailey Bieber, to intervene. “Hailey, girl, come collect your father… he’s freaking us out,” the commenter wrote. “Well hallelujah but you’re scaring me, dude,” another person added.
Fans Questioned Why He Recorded The Emotional Moment
Other TikTok users questioned Baldwin’s decision to film and publicly share himself crying. “This is scary,” one viewer wrote, while another asked, “…sure, but why record this moment?”
One critic went even further by speculating about Baldwin’s mental state, writing, “It’s just so hard to tell where the [mental breakdown] ends, and the Christianity begins.”
Despite the public speculation, Baldwin did not say he was experiencing a mental health emergency. Hailey has not publicly responded to the video or the comments asking her to check on her father.
The Actor Explained Why He Left Mainstream Hollywood

The upload arrived shortly after Baldwin discussed the role Christianity has played in reshaping his personal life and career. Earlier this month, Baldwin told PEOPLE that his fascination with Christianity ultimately changed the direction of his life. “Jesus and the Holy Spirit fascinated me,” he said.
The actor explained that he found himself facing a major career decision after playing McManus in the 1995 crime thriller “The Usual Suspects.” “I probably could have pointed myself in the direction of becoming a big star,” Baldwin told the outlet. “But that wasn’t me. I didn’t want to be Tom Cruise, and have to make $100 million at the box office.”
Baldwin instead prioritized his faith and ministry work over pursuing the kind of mainstream Hollywood career enjoyed by some of his contemporaries. His spiritual journey followed several major changes in his personal life. Baldwin became sober in 1989, married his wife, Kennya Baldwin, in 1990, and became a born-again Christian in 2001. He is also the younger brother of actors Alec Baldwin, William Baldwin, and Daniel Baldwin.
Hailey Bieber’s Business Profile Continues To Grow

While Baldwin remains focused on faith, his daughter has been strengthening her reputation as a beauty entrepreneur. Hailey is no longer viewed solely as a model or the wife of Justin Bieber following the blockbuster sale of Rhode to e.l.f. Beauty. The cosmetics company acquired the skincare brand Hailey founded in a deal valued at $1 billion last year.
Hailey remained involved after the acquisition, becoming Rhode’s chief creative officer and head of innovation. The arrangement allows her to continue directing the company’s products and creative identity. Her influence became even more apparent after e.l.f. Beauty reported a 36% increase in quarterly sales, reaching $479.4 million. Executives attributed a significant portion of that growth to Rhode.
“The Rhode acquisition wasn’t the finish line,” a beauty industry executive told the Daily Mail. “It was her introduction. She became someone executives wanted in the room when real business decisions were being made.”
Justin Bieber Is Rebuilding His Live Career

Hailey Bieber’s growing business momentum comes as her husband, Justin Bieber, works to reestablish himself as a live performer. The singer previously stepped away from touring after being diagnosed with Ramsay Hunt syndrome in 2022. The condition temporarily paralyzed part of his face and forced him to prioritize his health.
Justin’s return to the stage has generated enormous attention, but the response has not always been positive. His halftime performance during the World Cup Final drew mixed reactions from viewers, while some of his other public appearances have fueled speculation about his well-being.
The contrasting trajectories have placed Hailey and Justin in noticeably different professional chapters. As Justin attempts to rebuild the touring career that illness disrupted, Hailey is strengthening her influence in the beauty industry following Rhode’s $1 billion sale.
