Justin Bieber's flying solo! The singer attended Wednesday evening Hillsong church service WITHOUT wife Hailey Baldwin last night ... meanwhile, former flame Kourtney Kardashian was there -- with a new guy (more on that later).

Justin wore his usual Fear of God Essentials sweatpants and a Goosebumps cap as he braved the rain in order to worship. No word on where Hailey was ... but a source tells us her absence is an effort to leave space for Selena Gomez to return: "Hailey wants to pull back and allow Selena to go back to Hillsong. Hailey knows if she's there Selena doesn't feel comfortable so she'll worship on her own and put the message out that Selena can go if she wants. And all of this was Justin's idea."

Earlier in the day Justin was at his favorite restaurant -- a poke place in Beverly Hills just down the street from the his NEW HOUSE! Stay tuned for EXCLUSIVE news on the $8M mansion he and Hailey just started renting!

Do my ears deceive me? Quite possibly the first time the Duchess of Sussex has been called a "fat lady" and loved it pic.twitter.com/xR2NelQyAW

Oh no she didn't! A fellow volunteer at one of Duchess of Sussex Meghan Markle's new patronages -- the animal charity Mayhew -- called the pregnant royal "fat!" And Meghan loved it!

The gracious duchess was being greeted by fellow volunteers at the animal shelter and one elderly woman Peggy McEachrom said, "What a lovely lady you are. And a fat lady!" Markle laughed and said, "I'll take it!" McEachrom, originally from Jamaica, went on to speculate that Markle is carrying a boy. She and Prince Harry have decided not to learn the gender of their baby until the birth so Meghan replied, "Oh, you think it’s going to be a boy?” It’s a surprise. We don’t know what we’re having. I ask everyone what they think, and everyone has a very strong opinion about it."

The visit just got cuter, as Markle bonded with a pup Roobarb and posed for photos.

Something we think is worth noting, too -- in contrast with U.S. First Lady Melania Trump, Meghan seems a bit more considerable about her wardrobe for public appearance (and/or she has a way better and more intelligent stylist). After Melania has worn a "I don't really care, do you?" jacket to visit flood victims, heels to visit hurricane victims in Puerto Rico, and an English colonial-era pith hat during her trip to Africa. Duchess Meghan, by contrast, chose a Stella McCartney Falabella tote for her visit to the animal charity. McCartney is, of course, British; so that's a plus -- but more than anything, she's one of the very few vegan designers -- no leather, no fur, no animal testing, no animal products. So when volunteering for animals, she chose an animal-friendly designer. Makes sense, right? Thoughtful, right? Maybe Melania should take note ...

Wedding bells are ringing! Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton's engagement announcement is forthcoming, according to a new Us Weekly.

So that means he's already proposed ... that means they're ALREADY engaged! The two Voice coaches have been dating since 2015 and apparently Stefani's three boys are in love with the country singer. Gwen and Blake have collab'ed together musically; travelled together; worked together -- they've done it all and their relationship has endured so putting a ring on it seems like the next natural step!

Back in April, Gwen gushed to Ellen about her boyfriend and hinting at marriage ...



So when will these two start sending out invites? And before that ... how will they make the big announcement? Probably like all celebs (and the rest of humanity) these days -- our bet is that it'll be on social media!

Amazon chief Jeff Bezos' affair with his friend Patrick Whitesell's wife Lauren Sanchez gets even MORE scandalous!

We all thought their respective spouses were blindsided by the National Enqirer report that outed the couple's affair but we're finding out that's NOT the case. Whitesell, a bigwig Hollywood agent, and MacKenzie, a novelist and social activist, already knew their spouses were hooking up, according to a new People magazine report.

It wasn't until the news went public that Jeff and MacKenzie announced their separation via Twitter but they'd been planning that statement: "Their families dealt with this in the fall," a source told the mag.

The source says the two struck up a relationship while working on several projects together and "gradually" developed romantic feelings for each other. But it was Bezos and Whitesell that were first friends and then dinners with spouses led to Jeff and Lauren striking up a relationship on their own. And seriously ... WHO DOES PROJECTS WITH THEIR FRIEND'S WIFE???!!!

Well MacKenzie's the one who'll be laughing all the way to the bank. The richest man in the world (said to be worth $137 BILLION) didn't have a pre-nup with his wife so she'll be 50% and PERHAPS controlling interest in Amazon. What will investors do? Well so far, Wall Street doesn't give a damn. If we all keep subscribing to Prime and buying our entire LIVES on Amazon.com, the e-commerce site should continue to thrive.

Paris Jackson is getting the help she needs ... the daughter of Michael Jackson announced via Instagram: "Yes i’ve taken a break from work and social media and my phone because it can be too much sometimes, and everyone deserves a break, but i am happy and healthy and feeling better than ever! … hope you guys’ new year started out with lots of love and light and all the things. i’ll be back soon!! xxox."

Paris has been open about her battles with depression, self-harm and addiction, the sometimes-model has even admitted she attempted suicide twice, in an interview with Rolling Stone in 2017.

So what's going on now with Paris? "After a busy year of work engagements that took her all over the globe, Paris decided that she needed to take some time off to reboot, realign and prioritize her physical and emotional health,” a source tells Us Weekly. “She checked herself into a treatment facility to aid in her wellness plan and is looking forward to coming out of this revitalized and ready to tackle the exciting new projects that await her."

Here's hoping she gets the help she needs and comes out happy and healthy!

What the heck is going on?! Justin Bieber and Hailey Baldwin were BACK at the Amen Clinic in Encino yesterday -- a clinic that brands itself a "psychiatric and brain health care" treatment center. We're worried!

With all the doctors' visits the couple's been making and with the scary trembling episodes (see HERE and HERE) Justin's had over the past year, we're concerned there's something serious going on ... but at least he's getting help?


Later Tuesday evening, Hailey got caught in the rain after a meeting in Beverly Hills and as she walked to her car in the dark, she looked somber ... maybe even sad. She's definitely standing by her man and helping him through whatever it is he's going through. In fact, Justin's mom Pattie Mallette gushed about her daughter-in-law recently, saying: "What a gift!" as the caption of a selfie with the young model kissing her cheek. And it was taken in LA yesterday, so mama Bieber's in town! Is she visiting with her son as he seeks treatment?

Let's hope this chick doesn't use him like his baby mama did!

Rob Kardashian let it be known that he was crushing on Instagram model Alexis Skyy by calling her his #WCW on social media, and in a matter of hours, the reclusive reality star was cooking dinner with her in momager Kris Jenner's kitchen. He works quickly!

This new romance is bound to piss off his ex Blac Chyna, who coincidentally got into an altercation with Skyy at a nightclub over the weekend. The former stripper allegedly threw a drink at Rob's lady and demanded she get out of her VIP section, and now they're officially rivals.

Kimmy K's little bro is already feeling defensive over the relationship, too!

"Rob Kardashian never learns! Leave the pettiness to the ladies. Alexis just doing all this to spite Chyna! Grow tf up Rob," one Twitter user wrote, and he immediately fired back. "Me and Alexis known each other for 5 years so stop with that," he responded.

He doesn't have the greatest track record with women, so we hope this works out!

They're not going to let the weather interrupt their routine.

We caught Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner braving the LA rain to run errands yesterday, and the actor kept warm and showed his Boston pride in a Patriots jacket.

The Peppermint actress' romance with boyfriend John Miller sounds like it's heating up, and her ex isn't exactly pleased according to a new report.

"Ben is used to his ex-wife dropping everything for him, but that’s all changed and he’s no longer at the top of her list of priorities. He winces whenever Jen brings up John’s name. He can’t help finding faults with him, even though John’s the nicest guy and hasn’t done anything wrong," a source dished to In Touch.

“Jen trusts John. She didn’t go into this romance lightly. She’s realized that he’s the guy for her. She knows some people think it’s too soon, but now that their romance is no longer a secret, they want to be together 24/7. After all that she’s been through with Ben — the cheating, the addiction relapses, the public humiliation — her relationship with John is like a dream. Jen says that getting treated like a queen by John has taken some getting used to, but she’s loving it," the source added.

We wonder how long it will be before Batman gets back on the dating scene?
