It's a tough day for Angelenos and for Lakers fans ... and for Vanessa Bryant. As the young widow paid tribute to her late husband, basketball legend Kobe Bryan and their daughter Giana who both died in a helicopter crash late last month, fans supported her at the packed Staples Center in Downtown L.A.

Vanessa told fans her nicknames for Kobe and his for her; she thanked fans for lifting her and her daughters up during this difficult time; and she talked of her love for her "baby girl."

Magic Johnson, Shaquille O'Neal, and more gave speeches and Beyonce performed "XO" with a band and choir whose lyrics read: "In the darkest night hour, I'll search through the crowd/Your face is all that I see; I'll give you everything."

It has been an emotional few hours and the Celebration of Life is just wrapping up now; perhaps this can bring some sense of closure to Vanessa and to the city of L.A. and to fans everywhere.

Here's what we don't get ... Justin Bieber's an amazing skateboarder, so you'd think it'd translate to snowboarding but ... I mean, he's decent, but he's definitely a beginner!

Anyway, Biebs was working on his skillz last week in Snowmass as he and Hailey were joined by Zoe Church pals Chad Veach and Josh Mehl. It was a ski/spiritual retreat of sorts and guess who didn't appear to be all that into it? Yep, Mrs. Bieber. Hails spent time by herself during the day, probably sipping hot chocolate in front of a fire in their luxury chalet. And when it came time for dinner, she and the boys loaded into a chauffeured SUV and drove over to Aspen for sushi at Matsuhisa and while JB bro'd out with his ... bros ... Hailey looked a little annoyed and didn't pay any attention to fans waiting outside the restaurant when they left. Ouch!

Hey, we're all entitled to a bitchy moment, right?!

The gang arrived back in LA, on Friday, and Bieber headed straight to his favorite Voda Spa to work out the cramps before he has to get back into the dance studio to rehearse for his upcoming tour behind his latest album Changes.

Josh Altman of Million Dollar Listing chats with photographers after dining with his lovely wife Heather. Altman is asked about the Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos' recent purchase of his breathtaking $165 million Beverly Hills mansion, Altman states, "That's one of the most magnificent estates in the world. it was worth every penny at 165. We're talking 7-9 acres in the primest real estate in the world. I heard the deal was done on a yacht with no realtors." Altman goes on to say Bezos saved about $3 million by closing the deal without a realtor.

Jake Paul recently launched his latest endeavor, the Freedom Financial Movement and is hoping to change the standard way of thinking when it comes to college education. We caught up with Paul and the 23-year-old gave us some inside info on how he plans to do so. He says, "It's so important to me to be able to use my influence to inspire the youth or anybody to think about education differently and apply themselves differently... America is a business. College has been created to make billions of dollars. Unless you want to be a doctor or a vet, why am I gonna pay $30k a year to get a piece of paper that literally means nothing?"

Justin Bieber and Hailey Baldwin are definitely enjoying their time away from Los Angeles after jetting off to Aspen for a spiritual retreat. The couple were spotted grabbing dinner Matsuhisa while joined by controversial Pastor Chad Veach of Zoe Church. Veach has caught the ire of many for his church's stance on the LGBTQ community.

Always the nice guy, Justin was sure to pose for photos with a group of lucky fans before heading on their way.

In other news, during Justin's Thursday appearance on The Late Late Show with James Corden, the singer got out of eating bull penis by ranking Hailey's friends at the 6:50 mark of a hilarious game of "Spill Your Guts."

In addition to being on the winding road to sobriety, Ben Affleck is also on a quest for redemption. The two-time Oscar winner recently shared the heartfelt note he shared for ex-wife Jennifer Garner following his relapse in October of 2019.

Affleck penned, "What I want to say publicly and privately is, 'Thank you. Thank you for being thoughtful, considerate, responsible, and a great mom and person".

In a candid interview with Diane Sawyer on Good Morning America, Affleck outlined his live long struggles with sobriety and coming to terms with being an alcoholic. Affleck also admits his heartbreaking divorce from Garner was something he never felt was a possibility, stating, "I never thought that I was gonna get divorced. I didn’t want to get divorced. I didn’t want to be a divorced person. I really didn't want to be a split family with my children." Earlier this week, Affleck told New York Times his divorce "the biggest regret of my life."


Ben's certainly come a long way since August of 2018 when wife Jennifer Garner staged an emergency intervention. Ben was seen acting very erratic in the backseat of Jen's car, begging her to stop for fast food before rushing the actor to a Malibu rehab facility.

Ben is now set to star in The Way Back, a film which his character's struggles with alcohol dependance mirror his own personal journey.

Kim Kardashian West and Kanye West recently ventured to the City of Love to pay visit to fashion designer Jean Paul Gaultier's stunning house but couldn't help themselves to a little Kentucky Fried Chicken first. The couple are seen navigating their way through the order screen as Kim flaunts her world famous curves in a super sexy brightly patterned dress with faux bikini line.

After devouring their food, the couple were "caught" engaging in a very steamy elevator make out session. Following the kiss, Kanye giggles and asks the videographer, "Did that one work?"

Hmm, sure looks a little staged to us!
