Divine providence shines upon us this hallowed morn: Justin Bieber has shaved his mustache.
The mustache has cleaved to Bieber’s face like a demonic shadow through many of his darker moments: during his deposition, it shrugged and made a smug facial expression along with him; it, too, taunted Orlando Bloom in Ibiza; it was solely responsible for this Instagram, captioned “Beard game strong lol.”
In the video, posted on Instagram, Biebs puts his mustache very close to the camera — like, too close for comfort — and whispers, “R.I.P., stache.” He then includes an even closer-up shot, in case you were wondering if hell is for real.
Sadly, you do not get to experience firsthand the ‘stache falling under the blade, but it’s followed with an image of clean-shaven Bieber, with the caption, “Ur boy got rid of his stash.” Indeed he did. Praise be. [Instagram]
Jennifer Lawrence and Chris Martin went to a vineyard together. According to E!: “‘The setting was super-romantic. They watched the sun go down together, then quietly left,” [an insider said], noting that it’s believed the two both sampled wines.” AS LEGEND WOULD HAVE IT, THE TWO BOTH SAMPLED WINES. [E!]
