AMERICA HAS A PROBLEM: Beyoncé's Unreleased Music Was Stolen In Atlanta During ‘Cowboy Carter' Tour Stop
During Beyoncé's sold-out four-show run in Atlanta, the star's choreographer and one of her dancers said thieves broke into their SUV and stole numerous items. According to reports from local station Channel 2 WSB-TV , the items stolen include jump drives containing unreleased music, footage plans for her show, and past and future set lists.
While news of the theft only became public on July 14, ahead of her final night in ATL, a spokesperson for Atlanta police told the station the break-in happened just after 8 p.m. on July 8. The break-in, which happened less than 48 hours before her first show in the city, occurred inside a parking deck at Krog Street Market.
Channel 2's Michael Seiden reported on Monday evening that an arrest warrant has been issued for a suspect. Christopher Grant and Diandre Blue told police that they parked their rental black Jeep Wagoneer in the parking deck around 8:09 p.m. When they returned to their SUV, they discovered someone broke in through the back lift gate, and their two suitcases had been stolen.
'Mr. Grant advised he was also carrying some personal sensitive information for the musician Beyoncé,' an officer wrote in the incident report. 'He advised he was her choreographer and Mr. Diandre Blue was a dancer for her and that her hard drives for her upcoming show in Atlanta were stolen also. The hard drives contained water marked music, some un-released music, footage plans for the show and past and future set lists.'
According to reports from Billboard , who received a statement from Atlanta police, ' the suspect remains outstanding, and their identity is not yet available for release.'
'On July 8, 2025, Atlanta Police Zone 6 officers responded to 99 Krog St. NE regarding a report of a theft from motor vehicle. Preliminary investigation revealed a Jeep Wagoneer was broken into at the location and two suitcases had been stolen,' the statement read. 'Investigators with the Atlanta Police Department's Larceny from Auto Unit led the investigation and have subsequently secured an arrest warrant for a suspect.'
Beyoncé does not play about music leaks, so if whoever stole her hard drives puts unreleased songs on the internet, Bey just might end up scrapping them all.

Jane Eugene of 80s R&B Group Loose Ends Detained by ICE for Overstaying U.S. Visa
Source: Raymond Boyd / Getty British R&B singer Jane Eugene, best known as the powerful voice behind Loose Ends' 1985 chart-topping hit Hangin' on a String (Contemplating) , is now facing deportation from the United States. According to officials from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), the 62-year-old artist, also known by her legal name Jane Peters, overstayed her visa by 26 years.

SUBSCRIBE TO OUR YOUTUBE. The arrest took place on May 3, 2025, at the U.S.-Canada border crossing in Niagara Falls, New York. Eugene was attempting to enter Canada when she was denied entry and subsequently detained by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agents. Since then, she has been held while awaiting a formal hearing with the Executive Office for Immigration Review. Tricia McLaughlin, Assistant Secretary at DHS, confirmed that Eugene's prior attempts to obtain a U.S. green card were unsuccessful. 'Jane Eugene Sendall Peters was denied an immigrant petition for alien workers in 1999 and had already overstayed her visa at the time of application,' McLaughlin said. 'The law applies equally, even to celebrities.' Under current immigration law, overstaying a visa by more than a year is considered 'unlawful presence' and can result in a 10-year bar from reentering the United States once the individual departs. That's the potential situation Eugene faces now—removal from the U.S. and being barred from returning for a decade. CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD OUR APP AND TAKE US WITH YOU ANYWHERE! Though she originally rose to fame in the UK, Eugene has been based in Los Angeles for years, where she has led a U.S. version of Loose Ends and continued to perform across the country. Her contributions to the music industry remain significant; Hangin' on a String (Contemplating) made history in 1985 when it topped the U.S. Billboard R&B chart, making Loose Ends the first British band to achieve that feat. Loose Ends was originally formed in London in 1980 with Eugene, guitarist Carl McIntosh, and keyboardist Steve Nichol. Their sleek, soulful blend of funk and R&B earned them a strong following in both the UK and the United States throughout the 1980s.

Critics Claim ICE Raids Are Racist Now, decades after breaking boundaries on the music charts, Jane Eugene is at the center of a very different kind of story—one that underscores the far-reaching implications of immigration law in the U.S., even for those with fame and influence. As her legal case moves forward, Eugene's supporters are watching closely to see how the situation will unfold. Whether she'll be allowed to remain in the U.S., where she has lived and worked for so long, is still uncertain.

A Brief History of CBS's Late-Night Eras
For more than five decades, families across the United States have welcomed a slate of CBS late-night shows into their living rooms, bedrooms and — thanks to smartphones and tablets — even bathrooms. But CBS said on Thursday that it was getting out of the late-night television business by canceling 'The Late Show With Stephen Colbert' when the host's contract ends in May. Executives at the network said in a joint statement that the decision was 'not related in any way to the show's performance, content or other matters happening at Paramount.' (In March, the network canceled 'After Midnight,' a late-night comedy panel game show hosted by Taylor Tomlinson.) During Thursday's taping of 'The Late Show,' when Colbert announced the news, he said that he empathized with the boos from the audience and that he had the pleasure of working on the show for the past 10 years. 'And let me tell you, it is a fantastic job,' he said. 'I wish somebody else was getting it.' Here is a brief history of CBS's late-night television eras.

Jimmy Kimmel Drops Bombshell On CBS Following 'The Late Show' Cancellation
stands by his longtime pal 's side following CBS's decision to cancel his show. The host of "" called out the network in a heated post, slamming them for shutting down his friend's program while promoting other TV shows. Despite being late-night talk show hosts, Jimmy Kimmel and Stephen Colbert enjoyed a years-long friendship rather than a rivalry. They frequently supported each other, even when it came to butting heads with influential figures like Donald Trump. Jimmy Kimmel Upset Over The Abrupt End Of Stephen Colbert's Show Kimmel addressed the shocking end of "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" on his Instagram Story, sharing a clip of his friend's confirmation of the news. He captioned the post with a direct message to the network, writing: "Love you Stephen. F-ck you and all your Sheldons CBS." Kimmel's words referenced CBS' iconic character Sheldon Cooper, whose life was depicted in two hit series, "The Big Bang Theory" and its spinoff, "Young Sheldon." The TV host appeared to be calling BS on the network's decision to cancel Colbert's talk show while promoting other programs. Why The Beloved Talk Show Was Cancelled According to the statement released on Thursday, July 17, CBS claimed Colbert's TV program would officially end in May 2026 due to money problems. The network stressed that their decision was "purely a financial decision against a challenging backdrop in late night." "It is not related in any way to the show's performance, content, or other matters happening at Paramount," they claimed. Despite the network's words, the timing of their decision coincided with Colbert's complaints about CBS's parent company, Paramount Global. TMZ reported that Colbert slammed Paramount Global for coughing up $16 million in a settlement with Donald Trump over his lawsuit. The president filed a complaint because he was offended by the editing of CBS News' "60 Minutes" interview with former Vice President Kamala Harris. Did Colbert Get Punished For Biting The Hand That Fed Him? Colbert did not mince his words against the production giant, labeling Paramount Global's hefty settlement "a big fat bribe." He suspected they paid Trump because they needed federal approval for a pending multibillion-dollar sale to the Hollywood studio Skydance. Although his criticism might have contributed to the cancellation of his late-night show, Colbert did not attack CBS or its parent company. While confirming his May 2026 departure, the TV personality reflected positively on his time with the network. He appreciated everyone working behind the scenes, saying: "We get to do this show for each other -- every day, all day. And I've had the pleasure and responsibility of sharing what we do every day with you in front of this camera for the last 10 years." More About 'The Late Show' Host Colbert's time in the spotlight started long before he became a late-night talk show host. He rose to fame playing a closeted and repressed high school teacher in the comedy series "Strangers with Candy." The TV personality became a household name as the host of "The Colbert Report," where he parodied right-wing news pundits and gained notoriety for his distinctive humor and satire. Thanks to his achievements and comedic talents, Colbert became the ideal candidate to succeed David Letterman on his late-night talk show. In 2015, the entertainer became the new host of the CBS program and went on to achieve more success with his witty banter with guests. One of his most famous interviews was with former President Joe Biden, as reported by WioNews, where he opened up about the pain of grief and loss. Inside Jimmy Kimmel & Stephen Colbert's Years-Long Friendship Kimmel's support for Colbert was expected given their years-long friendship. They enjoyed a public bromance filled with jokes and sarcastic quips at each other, frequently reassuring fans that their rivalry would never be anything more than playful. Following Colbert's takeover of the late-night program, Kimmel showcased his support by starring as a guest on the show. During the episode, they got candid about their love and respect for each other. "People want us to fight and everything like that. Isn't that crazy?" Colbert asked Kimmel, who agreed it was "weird" that people expected them to hate each other. "I like you, too. I might even love you. If you died, I'd cry like a baby," Kimmel added, per Men's Journal. Colbert echoed similar sentiments about loving Kimmel and proved his feelings were real last year. He defended his pal after Trump mocked his performance as host of the Oscars. "You keep my friend Jimmy Kimmel's name out of your weird little wet mouth, OK? I'm mad. Jimmy Kimmel is my podcast brother from Strike Force Five," he declared. Can Stephen Colbert bounce back after losing his beloved late-night talk show?
