Beyoncé caves in Sphere feud after James Dolan cease-and-desist threat
Beyoncé removed a clip from an in-concert video showing the Las Vegas Sphere after the venue's owner James Dolan threatened legal action against the pop diva.
As first reported by The Post, the 'Single Ladies' singer was given a Monday deadline by Dolan's legal team to halt use of CGI footage that depicts a Gulliver-sized Beyonce striding through the Las Vegas skyline and picking up the LED-covered arena.
Clips of the footage were circulated online by concertgoers in Los Angeles who caught 'Queen Bey' during her first shows as part of her just-launched 'Cowboy Carter Tour' last week.

Kathleen McCarthy of King & Spalding, the firm representing Dolan's Sphere Entertainment Group, sent a legal notice last week to Parkwood Entertainment, which is owned by Beyoncé. Parkwood was accused of using and digitally altering imagery of the Sphere without obtaining authorization.
On Sunday, several fans who attended the concert at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles observed that the segment of the CGI video that included the Sphere was not broadcast.
Beyoncé and Sphere representatives could not immediately be reached for comment.

Last year, Sphere and Beyoncé broke off talks over a residency at the 20,000-seat venue, which refused to accommodate her request to shut the concert hall for two weeks of rehearsals, sources told The Post.
Sphere management also balked at Beyoncé's $10 million asking price to fund her high-tech production, The Post learned.
Beyonce's 22-show 'Cowboy Carter Tour' will come to Las Vegas on July 25 and July 26. It will be staged at Allegiant Stadium, which can seat about 65,000 for concerts.

The horse Bobby Flay couldn't sell has long-shot Belmont Stakes dream
SARATOGA SPRINGS — At 15-1 odds, Crudo is a long shot to outrun Kentucky Derby winner Sovereignty and Preakness champion Journalism to the wire in Saturday's Belmont Stakes at Saratoga. One could argue, however, that this outcome would be no more of a surprise than the circumstances that led Crudo into the Triple Crown race in the first place for owners Bobby Flay and Jimmy Ventura and Hall of Fame trainer Todd Pletcher. 'Jimmy and I were going to buy him as a pinhook proposition — we bought him as a weanling and we were going to sell him as a yearling. We brought him to the Saratoga [Fasig-Tipton] sale, and he didn't sell, so we kept him,' Flay, the chef, restaurant magnate and Food Network star told The Post early Friday morning before visiting Crudo. 'I don't usually race colts. I usually race fillies only. But I have him, so he's racing, and he's turned out to have talent,' Flay continued. 'The Belmont Stakes is New York's most important race and as a New Yorker, it's clearly important to me.' 3 Celebrity chef Bobby Flay is pictured next to Crudo on June 6. Jason Szenes for the NY Post Flay, 60, says he's been watching horse racing since his teenage years when he and his friends from the Yorkville neighborhood in upper Manhattan would cut school and take the A train to Aqueduct. The Belmont Stakes has long been a staple of Flay's social calendar. 'I go to the Belmont every year. I usually take 20-30 people to Belmont Park and make a day out of it,' Flay said. 'It's become a tradition where I have people over to my house for brunch, everyone comes dressed in their racing gear — suits, summer dresses, hats. I feed them in the morning and then put everyone in cars and we go to Belmont and we have a day.' He said those nights usually end with a group dinner at Wolfgang's Steakhouse on 33rd Street. But Saturday, the stakes will be much higher. On Preakness Day at Pimlico, in his third career start, Crudo won the Sir Barton Stakes by 7¹/₂ lengths. Pletcher, a four-time winner in the Belmont, gave the son of 2018 Triple Crown champion Justify a few weeks to breeze, considered other options and decided to give it a go in the $2 million race. 'The horse is here, he's doing well, I don't see a whole lot of pace in the race, we've got [jockey] John Velazquez available,' Pletcher said. 'I couldn't come up with a reason not to give it a try.' Crudo's name, not surprisingly, has ties to the culinary world. 3 Bobby Flay is pictured June 6. Jason Szenes for the NY Post 'I came up with the name,' Flay said, explaining he acknowledged raw talent, though on menus everywhere the word means raw fish. 'It's so hard to name these horses. I liked the fact that it meant raw because he was such a young horse when we bought him and he had talent. 'I told Jimmy what I named him and he was like, 'Really?' He wasn't impressed,' Flay added about his partner, who is in commercial real estate and has been involved in horse racing for more than 30 years. 'Naming horses and naming restaurants. If they turn out to be good, the name makes perfect sense. It couldn't be anything else.' Flay spent much of his spring rooting on his beloved Knicks from the first few rows at Madison Square Garden. Like most fans, he reveled in the team's longest playoff run in 25 years and still is feeling the disappointment. 3 Bobby Flay and co-owner James Ventura are pictured with their horse, Crudo, on June 6. Jason Szenes for the NY Post 'I remember all the playoff seasons when we ran into Michael Jordan,' said Flay, who lists the Knicks and Yankees as his biggest sports passions. 'We were good then, but we kind of couldn't get past it. It was fun to watch those guys play this year. They're a really good team and, unfortunately, they lost to Indiana.' Flay said he was surprised at the firing of coach Tom Thibodeau. 'I am. I thought he did a good job. I mean, we beat the world champions. We beat the Celtics soundly,' he said. 'A couple things go different ways and you're in the Finals. I don't always think that new is a good idea, but it's not my team.' His team on Saturday is Crudo-Flay-Ventura-Pletcher. 'Both Bobby and Jimmy love horse racing. Bobby's been terrific to train for, for a number of years,' Pletcher said. 'He's knowledgeable and also always says, 'You can make the decision.' We've had some success together and these guys are fun to train for.'

Yolanda Hadid ends engagement to Joseph Jingoli after ex-husband's secret daughter is revealed
It's over for Yolanda Hadid and Joseph Jingoli. The former 'Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' star, 61, and her longtime boyfriend quietly ended their engagement in January, a source told People on Thursday, June 5. However, the exes allegedly have no bad blood toward each other. 'They remain friends and have nothing but fond memories of their time together,' the insider said. The Post reached out to Hadid for comment but did not immediately hear back. The reality star alum, who is mother to supermodels Gigi and Bella Hadid, met Jingoli after she uprooted her life to Pennsylvania in 2017. Jingoli, who is the CEO of a construction and development company, popped the question in 2022 while the pair were away in Holland. They kept their engagement private until August 2024, when Hadid casually called him her 'fiancé' in her interview with Architectural Digest. 'I made a love spiral and wrote down exactly everything that was important to me in a man and he magically just rang the doorbell at the farm,' she told People in 2018. The pair first stepped out together in September 2019. Hadid also gushed over Jingoli in a tribute post for their anniversary in January 2021. ' All my life I prayed for someone like you!!' Hadid wrote alongside photos of them together. 'Thank you for being such a bright light in my life, the calm in my storm and for being the most honorable man that I know…. Happy 2 year anniversary Joey Jingoli, I love and appreciate you .' Hadid was previously married to Grammy-award-winning producer David Foster from 2011 to 2017. Her first husband was luxury real estate developer Mohamed Hadid, 76, with whom she shares three children: Gigi, 30, Bella, 28, and son Anwar, 25. While Hadid only has three children, Mohamed has six — one of whom the world just discovered. Gigi and Bella have a half sister named Aydan Nix, and revealed the shocking family secret just last week. Nix is 23 and the result of their father's 'brief romance' with a woman named Terri Hatfield Dull, which happened shortly after his 2001 divorce from Yolanda, according to the sisters. 'Over 20 years ago, our dad, while single, had a brief relationship that led to a pregnancy,' Gigi and Bella told the Daily Mail in a statement on May 29. Gigi and Bella explained that Nix was unaware that Mohamed was her father until recently. She discovered the news after the man she always knew as dad's 'sudden passing when she was 19.' The Hadid sisters explained that Nix 'decided to take a genetic test out of curiosity,' which led to the shocking discovery that she had 'a biological connection' to the famous family. But the girls welcomed her with open arms, allegedly first meeting Nix in Paris when she was studying abroad in 2024. 'We've cherished this unexpected and beautiful addition to our family,' Gigi and Bella continued, adding they are hoping everyone respects their half sister's privacy. 'As siblings, we've had many open and loving conversations — with Aydan included — about how to support and protect her,' they shared. 'Aydan and her family value their privacy, and we fully respect that. We kindly ask others to do the same and honor her wish and right to her anonymity as she continues her life as a young woman in New York.' Besides Gigi, Bella, Anwar and now Nix, Mohamed is also a father to his oldest children — Marielle, 44, and Alana, 39, with his first wife, Mary Butler. Mohamed has not publicly acknowledged Nix as his daughter, but he does follow her on Instagram.

As a Black woman, I was a tad bit nervous about this ube shade, but the blurring, the brightening, and the coverage are top tier, truly.

It is a splurge product for me; I do fall for cheaper alternatives and such, but whenever I return, it reminds me that this brow pencil is truly unbeatable. It's really in its own lane. The pencil is sooo thin, so it helps create the most natural, realistic brow-like strokes, which is the look I LOVE. I mean, just look at the pic above, you can literally see the hair strokes I made using this. The colors are also so natural, I personally love the soft brown, even though my hair is naturally a very dark brown — it just looks the most realistic for me.

I will never buy a different foundation! Wow! I am in love! I have had the hardest time finding a good foundation for my very dry skin!! Granted, in the past, I never spent more than $15 for foundation other than IL Makiage and even though I did my research to try and find my matching shade for IL, alas, I could not. Plus, it was just too thick and goopy, and no matter what I put on before the IL foundation, all my dry skin showed through! Next up, Armani Luminous Silk and voila... pure MAGIC!

I have never been able to get rid of it, no matter what I have used. I have always wanted to wear backless dresses and bikinis, but I have been too uncomfortable with how my back looked. I started using this stuff and within a week, my back is clearing up so much! I feel a lot more confident and comfortable now. This is the product I will buy forever." —Angie WGet it from Amazon for $29. A Nars soft matte concealer so magical, you'll be searching for a witch to thank. The creamy, full-coverage formula will blur and conceal any imperfections and leave you looking soft, natural, and matte as heck. This product has held it down for me for YEARS. I especially use it when I dance; it lasts me through long, sweaty show days and still looks flawless by the end of the day. I like other concealers, but this one is *top-tier*; it never fails me. I always return to this because she's reliable, matte, and has perfect, long-lasting coverage. Since I'm as oily as it gets, I do prefer this to the radiant one, although I do like that one, too. There's just really nothing like this, it def hits different. It was the first makeup product I tried and decided I'd repurchase forever. And the little pot lasts for a looong time. At them moment, I'm getting over a terrible, stress-induced breakout where I popped every pimple I had cuz I ran out of pimple patches, so now I have tons of dark marks.

Stick it, don't pick it, and say peace out ✌️ to that pimple. Promising review: "I can't believe these dots. I usually get deep, never-ending, very inflamed pimples. Just when I think they're done, they last forever. I had been looking at these dots for a while, but wasn't sure whether to spend the money on 20 dots. It was so worth it!! I had a big pimple on my forehead right before a big series of presentations this week. I put a dot on at bedtime, and by morning, it was a million times better. I still can't believe it. I'll be buying these forever." —vw358Get a 20-pack from Sephora for $19 (also available in other pack sizes).

Plus, if your nails are weak and brittle, this can help strengthen them. Promising review: "I've always had weak nails that would easily break, so I've never been able to grow them long. The gel manicures I get have made them even worse. Within two weeks of using this once to twice a day, I could not believe how good my nails were looking. They're not titanium strong, but compared to how thin and brittle they were, they're now much stronger. They don't break. They've also grown a lot. I don't usually have to file or cut my nails because they never grow that long, but today I had to! Will keep buying this forever. Love it." —AnonGet it from Amazon for $8.99 (available in six scents). A four-pack of bio-collagen overnight masks that'll work to deliver you tighter pores, tons of skin elasticity, improved skin texture and tone, and *loads* of hydration. I promise you don't have to recite any incantations, simply put it on at night and wake up with glowy, radiant skin. Promising review: "I was blown away by how moisturizing this mask actually was. It definitely was everything the ad said it was going to be. The first 30 minutes I had to adjust it a little, but as it began to dry, it didn't move, and I went to bed with no trouble (I'm a side sleeper). It peeled off easily in the morning, and I just couldn't believe how well it worked. I've been using one every 5–6 days. I will never stop using these!!" —jessica a four-pack from Amazon for $19 (available in three styles and a 16-pack). Gold Bond's firming neck and chest cream to help improve texture and firmness, gently exfoliate, and hydrate your skin. Umm, these review pics are kinda... mind boggling. I– I'm actually speechless. This is definitely heaven-sent. Promising reviews: "I just purchased my second tube! This is the only thing I've tried that actually works. Been using it for over a month, applying it every morning and night, and there is a big difference in my neck. I will never be without it." —Jlacaria"This stuff rocks! I'm a big skeptic of products that claim to make your skin look younger, firmer, erase wrinkles, improve skin tone, etc. The only way all that can be achieved is with surgery, lasers, fillers, and Botox. A skin care product can only do so much with the right ingredients and at the right concentration.I wanted to improve the look of my neck and the horizontal lines. I bought this because Gold Bond has been around forever, and it was a good price point. I've been using it twice a day now for just over a month, morning and night. I cannot believe the results! My horizontal neck lines are drastically improved, and my skin is smoother, softer, and more even-toned! The little lines are gone, and my neck is definitely firmer! I wouldn't have believed I could get such noticeable results from a skin cream! Use twice a day after you wash your face and neck. This is a forever product for me, and I definitely recommend!" —Regina McCarthyGet it from Amazon for $11.97 (also available in a two-pack).

Cécred is founded and owned by Beyoncé!I finally got my hands on this bad boy, and oh, baby, it is incredible. I had been trying to figure out how to style my curly clip-in extensions and make them match my real hair, but nothing had been working. I did a braid out three times, and it was a mess, I was literally ready to give up and just straighten my hair again. That is, until I added this. This and the moisture-sealing lotion work ridiculously well together; they're the most magical duo ever for curls. My braid out turned out so perfectly, I'm still in disbelief. Plus, my hair isn't oily!! It absorbed so well. I put it on one side of my hair at a time, and its definition difference was wild. My curls haven't looked this curly in years, and when I add this to my straight extensions, it helps my hair blend so much better. Also, it smells so freakin' good, it's ridiculous. Cécred literally never disappoints. This oil is liquid gold. I'm obsessed. I stand ten toes behind this oil and literally every product I've tried from the line. These are my all-time favorite hair products, no competition. Promising review: "I absolutely adore this hair oil. You get a very generously sized bottle that will last you a long time. The bottle feels heavy and luxurious, and the oil always fixes whatever frizz I've got going on and smells incredible. I'm on my third bottle already, and I will never stop.

Plus, it leaves you feeling moisturized after and never irritated. And, I haven't nicked myself even once with this razor, which is some kind of miracle. You want to try this razor — it just exceeds anything else out there!" —CeCe Silver"I absolutely LOVE this razor. It's perfect for those of us with sensitive skin.

According to TikTokers, it's a Dominican hair secret for healthy, flourishing hair. We love a beauty secret. Check out how to make it on TikTok!Promising reviews: "I go to the Dominican Salon in my area and every time I leave there, my hair feels luxurious and sooo soft. I can never achieve this at home. My stylist gave me a vial of this product at her shop and said I could only get it from the DR. Well, this is it! I can finally have the same soft, moisturized, luxurious look at home, this has been a godsend! If you have brittle hair or it's hard to keep moisture in it, then this is your holy grail. Just mix half water with conditioner in a spray bottle, then blow dry or roll up and heat. You will not be disappointed. I almost feel bad giving away this secret because when I go to order more, it may be all gone. Amazon, please keep this item in stock. I will be an avid buyer! Thank you!" —Meechie"This product is something I always keep in stock for myself and my friends. The slip is amazing, it is so healthy for hair, and the results are great! If you swim and need help with minimal to no tangles, this is the stuff to use. Friends from all cultural backgrounds agree and convert the second they use it. This is by far one of my best hair care regimes I will always keep." —Constance GeeGet a 12-count from Amazon for $28.89.
