This fall, Justin Beiber is releasing an all-natural, plant-based deodorant called Here + Now. It’ll be vegan and cruelty-free.  Justin’s wife HAILEY has influenced him to switch to more natural products. And it’s not just good for the environment, it’s good for YOU.  The company that’s developing this with Justin says, “It’s more than just a deodorant;  it’s a lifestyle and a connection to those around you. It’s about the small, but intentional choices we make every day that help us to lead happier and healthier lives, mentally and physically.”

 

O.J. SIMPSON was an outstanding football player for the Buffalo Bills back in the ’70s. Then there were the alleged murders and the 10 years for armed robbery. So, is it strange that a Bills player would actually WANT to wear O.J.’s number? Running back SENORISE PERRY just signed with the Bills a couple months ago, and when he saw that ‘#32’ was available, he thought, ‘Hey, why not?’ I thought it was retired, but then I was told it was available – Boom, I took it.  I know the situation.  I know that greatness comes with that number, playing in Buffalo.  But I’m willing to take anything that comes my way. I’m going into my sixth year, and I know what it takes to get in this league and stay here.  With that number on my back, I know I’m doing well for my family.” This will be the first time in 42 years that a Bills player has worn #32.

If you hated the ending of “Game of Thrones”, the books will be different. In a new blog, author GEORGE R.R. MARTIN says, “How will it all end?  I hear people asking.  The same ending as the show?  Different?  Well . . . yes. And no.  And yes.  And no.  And yes.  And no.  And yes. There are characters who never made it onto the screen at all, and others who died in the show but still live in the books.  So if nothing else, the readers will learn what happened to [them].” Martin has two more books to go, but the last one came out in 2011.  He says, “[The next book] is very late, I know, I know, but it will be done.  I won’t say when, I’ve tried that before, only to burn you all and jinx myself.  But I will finish it.”

If it was up to BLAKE SHELTON, he’d stop releasing albums. He’ll always record music, but since albums aren’t a big deal anymore he’d rather release one song at a time.  He said, “I don’t know.  I don’t want to put out an album.  I really don’t.  I’m sure that at some point my record company people are going to pressure me into it, but as of now, I’m not putting out an album this year.  I know that . . . when I think about an album right now I’m just like, ‘Do people care about them anymore?’  I don’t know.  But I’m having a blast just releasing singles.  Maybe I’ll do that from now on.” Blake sees the writing on the wall, and his record company will eventually see it too.  They’ll have to.

MORGAN WALLEN is on a mission to bring back the mullet. Turns out it’s a family tradition.  He says, “I started doing it because I was looking at my mom and dad’s photo album.  [When] they got married, my dad had a mullet. If you go and put pictures of us at the same point in our life, we pretty much look the same.  So I thought he looked good, so I figured maybe I could do it too.” He got all kinds of grief from his label and management when he first got the cut.  “Honestly, I expected people to kind of give it to me, but I did it anyway, and now it’s, like, part of my brand, you know?  It’s like a thing.”

It turns out Lisa Kudrow didn’t have the confidence of Phoebe Buffay when the “Friends” cameras turned off. Reflecting on Friends, Kudrow said that she couldn’t help but compare herself to co-stars Jennifer Aniston and Courteney Cox. “You see yourself on TV and it’s that ‘Oh my God, I’m just a mountain of a girl”. The actress, 55, explained that she did her best to stay fit for Hollywood, despite her actual health. “Unfortunately for a woman, if you’re underweight, you look good.  When I was too thin I was sick all the time, a cold, sinus infection, I was always sick.” Nowadays, Kudrow says she still battles with body image but has learned to accept that physical changes come with aging. “I just go, ‘All right, so what? You’re older that’s a good thing, why is that a bad thing?’ “
