Is there any other couple as fashionable as Justin and Hailey? We think not ...
The fashion-forward husband and wife hit up West Hollywood hotspot Cha Cha cafe for some matcha tea Thursday afternoon as the LA skies were clouding over and a cool wind was blowing. Hailey wore a long, light khaki trench coat over paperbag waist denim pants that tied at the ankle. Justin wore all black and covered himself with a workman's jacket over his yellow cap, to keep a low profile.
The couple darts around in a Sprinter van, as of late -- it seems Justin's make a conscious decision not to drive. Hailey's been sporting around in her Range Rover Sport, but Justin hasn't been spotted behind the wheel in almost a month. What gives???

Guess somebody's had enough! Maroon 5 frontman Adam Levine announced a surprise exit from The Voice after being a judge on the reality talent show every season since the show launched in 2011. We imagine he must be tired!
And dude has plenty of money -- he just sold his Beverly Hills estate to Ellen DeGeneres for $45 million -- so he doesn't really need a side hustle. Obviously he rakes in the dough with his band, too, so the hectic TV schedule must be fatiguing, especially now that he's got two kids!
The show's host Carson Daly, announced the news on the Today show on Friday, "After 16 seasons, Adam Levine, our beloved coach and friend, has decided to leave The Voice. Adam was one of the original coaches that launched the show, winning the competition three times and inspiring many of the artists he worked closely with over the years."
Daly had previously confirmed Levine's involvement in the upcoming seasons so this news must be a surprise, even to producers. Daly went on, "Of course, many viewers will miss his frenemy relationship with Blake Shelton. He will always be a cherished member of The Voice family. We wish him nothing but the best."
We'll miss you, Adam!
UPDATE - Adam has taken to Instagram to send a message to fans about his departure and it read ...
"About 8 years ago, Mark Burnett convinced us to sign up for this show where you sit in a big red chair with your back turned away from the singers on the stage. First thank you must go to Mark. â¤ï¸ We had no idea what we were doing or where it was going,†he began, captioning a photo of the Rolling Stone cover from 2012 of him with Blake Shelton and then-coaches Cee Lo Green and Christina Aguilera. “After the first day of shooting, I sat there, stunned. I said to myself, ‘There’s some magic here. Something is definitely happening.’ It went on to be a life shaping experience that will be close to my heart forever.
He went on ...
"BLAKE F–KIN’ SHELTON. I couldn’t hide my love for you if I tried. Seriously. I tried. Can’t do it. Our friendship is and always will be one for the books,†he wrote. “Whatever this whole surreal experience was, I’m just happy I got to experience it with you. You’re my brother for life. Kelly [Clarkson] and John [Legend], take care of the cowboy and I’m sure I’ll be back to say hi very very soon. So much love to you both."

Whoa! The truth comes out!
Kylie Jenner reveals her best friend Jordyn Woods "f'd up" in the new trailer for an upcoming episode of Keeping Up With the Kardashians. After Woods hooked up with Khloe's baby daddy Tristan Thompson, breaking up their relationship (as if his previous cheating scandal didn't already put their relationship on shaky ground), Kylie had a decision to make -- keeping Jordyn as her BFF or kick her to the curb.
Kylie's mom Kris told her daughter, "For you and Jordyn, it’s like a divorce." And Kylie reassures Khloe, "Just know, I love you."
As it turns out, the family stuck together -- Kylie ditched Jordyn and Khloe ditched Tristan and the KarJenner clan is still intact. Watch the mid-season trailer, though, and see how the drama plays out ... it's INTENSE.

It all looks like fun and games ... until it's not! Jennifer Garner wears a funny clown nose in support of Red Nose Day 2019, but should she be??? Recent controversy surrounding the charity has turned off some celebs ...
The British foundation Comic Relief began the campaign to stop child poverty worldwide in 1985; since then, the effort has raised more than $1.2 billion -- nothing to sneeze at. And it's going to a great cause, so what could possible be the issue?
Well critics of the charity's ad campaigns say it supports the white savior idea -- that white westerns can raise a bunch of money and take it to Africa and teach locals how to fix all their problems because "we" are so much smarter than "they" are. And we call know that's not true ... and we know Ed Sheeran hanging out with homeless children in Liberia is probably not going to change anything, which is why Comic Relief was SLAMMED for this celeb-fronted campaign in support of the foundation in 2017.
Since the, the non-profit has said it will pull back from celebrity sponsorships. Comic Relief CEO Liz Warner told The Guardian about their new campaigns: "You’ll see the films we put into Sport Relief are a step towards that, towards change. People talking in the first person in their own voices, with local heroes and local heroines talking to us about the work they’re doing. ‘You won’t see a celebrity standing in front of people talking about them. You’ll see people talking for themselves."
Halle Berry planted a wet one on writer/actor/producer Lena Waithe during the opening of Waithe's gig as fill-in host for Jimmy Kimmel on Live and it was wild!
The bit goes like this ... Lena says she needs some inspiration for hosting because she's nervous and Kimmel's sidekick Guillermo suggests Lena press "the Halle Berry button." Waithe does it, and Halle appears to give her a pep talk: "Lena, you know I know you, right? We've worked together. So I know that you are a force of nature. You are a beautiful African American queen," she said. "Lena, tonight you are a writer, an actor, a producer and tonight you are a late-night comedian. You about to slay this show! And you are already winning, girl, because you are dressed way better than Jimmy ever was."

Over! The relationship you didn't even know was happening is finished and ... if a tree falls in the forest and no one's around to hear it, does it make a sound???
Kendall Jenner and her Australian Philadelphia 76ers basketball boyfriend have called it quits right after Vogue Australia interviewed the young model and had her talk about her "private" and "sacred" relationship with her man and possibly MARRYING him one day. Oops! That's what happens in a 24-hour news cycle, folks -- sit down with Vogue in April, do the photo shoot in May, magazine writes it up, edits, it, lays it out, sends it to the printer, ships it out and BAM! You've got old news.
Anyway, word is now, the two have called it off. A source tells Us Weekly: "It wasn’t so sudden. Things have wound down between them. They aren’t seeing each other anymore ... They were getting serious for a bit, but were starting to cool off recently. They’re so busy doing their own things and realize they’re young and want to have fun."
They supposedly split in Sept 2018 after just four months of dating and then reconciled some time after that. But the two were never very public with their romance and probably didn't see each other that much with bi-costal lives and with Kendall's crazy modeling schedule. So basically ... over before it began!

Where's Hailey?
Justin Bieber hit up his usual Wednesday night haunt Hillsong Church last night but his wife Hailey was conspicuously absent. Of course the two bond over their faith and both are church members so maybe Hailey had to work or stay home and get her beauty rest for an early-morning gig today.
Justin appeared to be in good spirits as he fist-bumped fellow churchgoers and danced his way to his car after the service. And exiting the service right after JB was none other than Lana Del Rey! The singer often attends when she's in town but when Hailey finds out Lana was there last night, will jealousy kick in???
Bieber had another new companion with him -- his Drew sticker-covered notebook. Or is that a laptop? He's bringing it with him EVERYWHERE these days! Is he working on music during church service? Writing a book? Keeping a real-time diary? Omg, what we'd give to read that!

FINALLY! We've been waiting for the moment Brad Pitt would return to the spotlight after his difficult divorce from Angelina Jolie and all the dramatic accusations lodged against him in the bitter battle ... and finally, he's back!
Pitt was in high spirits at the Cannes Film Festival photo call for his new film Once Upon A Time co-staring the equally as exciting Leonardo DiCaprio and the beautiful Margot Robbie ... and directed by Quentin Tarantino -- what more could you ask for in a film! Here's the synopsis from Sony Pictures: "Once Upon A Time visits 1969 Los Angeles, where everything is changing, as TV star Rick Dalton (Leonardo DiCaprio) and his longtime stunt double Cliff Booth (Brad Pitt) make their way around an industry they hardly recognize anymore." Check out the trailer for the movie which opens July 26 (we've got to wait a while!) ...
