Justin Bieber: Spiraling Out of Control? Again?!?

According to most recent reports, Justin Bieber is a very happy man these days.


How could he not be, right?!?


The singer has found faith and religion and, most importantly of all perhaps, the woman of his dreams.



Bieber and Hailey Baldwin are at least engaged and maybe even married and the singer seems very content with where he’s at in life right now.


But is this really the case?


There have been a handful of under-the-radar cases and sightings of late that have some close to the artist thinking he’s actually struggling and perhaps spiraling very far downward once again.


To wit, as initially outlined by Page Six:


– In August, Bieber was spotted looking disoriented while shopping shirtless in Tribeca.


– He was also seen crying on the West Side Highway bike path the same day.


– Then, Justin went to a music festival in the great city of Grand Rapids, Michigan… only for a video to surface online of Bieber acting jittery and shaking while meeting fans there.



We’re not sure how to quantify these examples.


We’re not sure what they mean.


Maybe nothing at all.


However, Bieber has sort of been here before.


Remember when he visited a brothel in a Rio de Janeiro in 2013? Or when he had drugs confiscated aboard his tour bus in Sweden that same year?


Then, of course, there was his drunk driving arrest in 2014, which marked a low point for Bieber.


Earlier this year, manager and close friend Scooter Braun said he thought Justin might die while he was going through this dangerous and irresponsible stretch.



But Bieber then found solace in Hillsong, the Evangelical megachurch that draws 9,000 devotees to its concert-like services at Hammerstein Ballroom in Midtown.


He became a fervent devotee, Tweeting several months ago of the changes he made to his life:


“Jesus is changing me from the inside out everyday!”


Friends and loved once have since vouched for the star, saying he truly has seen the light.


“He’s come a long way,” said New York City-based tattoo artist JonBoy. “It’s amazing how much he’s changed and how much God has done.”


Now, though, the concern is that he has rushed into his romance with Baldwin and has lost his way once again.



Bieber’s team, for instance, was caught WAY off guard by the couple’s alleged marriage.


The stars have not yet signed a prenuptial agreement, meaning Bieber’s $ 275 million fortune could be on the hook if something goes wrong.


It’s notable, many believe, that pastor Carl Lentz has not congratulated Bieber on his engagement or his marriage.


According to TMZ, the pastor and the singer had a falling out after the latter dedicated himself more to Baldwin than he did to religion this summer.


Does this mean Bieber will get arrested again for drunk driving or curse off fans again in the street or generally act like a jackass? 


Not necessarily.


But we’ll be keeping a close eye on him moving forward.

Ben Affleck: "Spiraling Out of Control," Headed Back to Rehab (Report)

Back in March, Ben Affleck checked into rehab to be treated for a drinking problem he had reportedly been battling for several years.


It was Affleck’s second time receiving treatment for alcohol addiction, and in a statement released after he completed the program, the Oscar winner stated that he hoped getting sober would enable him to be a more attentive and dedicated father.



Affleck seemed to have every intention of staying sober.


Unfortunately, good intentions are often no match for the power of addiction, and it seems the actor has fallen back into some dangerous habits.


Ben is dating Lindsay Shookus these days, and insiders say the couple enjoys 


Now, there’s been no indication that Lindsay has a drinking problem, so it’s probably perfectly fine for her to enjoy a few drinks.


But Ben’s problem is well-documented, so it’s not hard to see why his inner circle might be concerned about reports of Ben and Lindsay drinking together.


According to In Touch, family and friends have urged Ben to check back into rehab.



Affleck reportedly admits that he has a problem and needs help, but keeps delaying the start of his treatment.


“He’s spiraling out of control,” a source tells the tabloid, adding that Ben’s “drinking has gotten worse.”


The insider adds that Ben is well aware of the severity of the problem, but is no hurry to take corrective action: 


“He knows he needs to check back into rehab,” says the source.


“The problem is that he wants to go on his terms. He wants to do it on his time, but like most addicts, that time keeps getting put off. This relapse has gone on too long already.”



The tipster adds that the concerns about Shookus encouraging Affleck’s drinking are well-founded.


“Lindsay may not know it, but she’s enabling him,” says the source.


“This is a disease and he wants nothing more than to be present for his family and his girlfriend.”


Fortunately, the anonymous friend of Ben’s believes he’ll seek treatment in the very near future, claiming that “it’s only a matter of time” before the actor checks into an in-patient care facility.


Here’s hoping Affleck is able to find the help he needs.

Lamar Odom: Refusing Rehab, Spiraling Out of Control, Sources Say

Last time we checked in on him, Lamar Odom was talking about his recovery with fellow addict and longtime friend Scott Disick in a moving scene from Keeping Up With the Kardashians.



To hear him talk, it sounded as though Odom was eternally grateful for a second chance at life after suffering 12 strokes and spending several months in the hospital following a drug overdose back in October.


Unfortunately, those closest to the former NBA star say he seems to have forgotten the lessons he learned on his hard road to recovery.


Odom has been spotted drinking in Los Angeles-area bars on more than one occasion recently, and while the 36-year-old’s brush with death was not caused by alcohol, many believe his casual boozing is symptomatic of a larger problem.


Now, several media outlets are reporting that family and friends have been pressuring Odom to check into rehab, but the estranged husband of Khloe Kardashian has reportedly assured them that he has no need for treatment.


Odom’s loved ones are reportedly worried about the fact that he’s been spending time with the friends who landed him in trouble in the first place.



In his exchange with Disick, Odom agreed that one of the hardest parts of sobriety was cutting ties with all the bad influences in his life.


Odom lost two friends to overdoses not long before he nearly died himself, and Khloe Kardashian reportedly made him promise that he would no longer associate with the came crowd after his near-fatal overdose.


The fact that Khloe is now filing for divorce is being taken by many as an indication that Lamar failed to keep that promise.


Insiders say that while it’s too late to save her relationship with Odom, Khloe is currently in the process of planning an intervention for Lamar.


The Kardashian-Jenner clan has long been a sort of second family to Lamar, and those closest to him believe that they’re the only ones who can convince him to seek treatment.


Here’s hoping the beloved athlete-turned-reality-star will finally get the help he needs.


Watch Keeping Up With the Kardashians online to relive Khloe and Lamar’s many ups and downs.

Chris Brown: Addicted to Sizzurp! Spiraling Out of Control!

Chris Brown"s friends and family are very worried about him, and not just because he"s an obviously unstable human being with violent tendencies:


Fool is hooked on sizzurp.


The latest evidence? Chris and his friends were spotted last weekend at an L.A. pumpkin patch where Chris took his daughter, Royalty.


They went there to buy a pumpkin, but they brought their own provisions: Instagram photos show a double-stacked red cup at his feet.


Right behind him, another.


Chris" camp says that this has been an ongoing problem and that it"s been getting worse over the last few weeks, even around his kid.


Drinking sizzurp around a one-year-old likely isn"t advisable, and he even tested positive for codeine during custody battle for Royalty.


He had a prescription for it, so it didn"t hurt his legal cause … yet. A new video shows that this issue may be escalating quickly, however.


At a birthday party for Tyga"s son King a few weeks ago, Chris is seen in the clip holding the signature double cup while riding a bike.


The footage also shows a guy carrying a bottle of codeine and soda, mixing it in the parking lot … in broad daylight, at a little kid"s party.


For his part, Chris isn"t buying it, and says it"s "bulls–t" that everyone around him is concerned about something that"s a total non-issue.


Not sure that Chris" baby mama Nia Guzman – or Tyga"s baby mama Blac Chyna for that matter – will necessarily be so happy-go-lucky.
