The 'American Idol' judge has been privy to concert mishaps before.
Bryan had a simple explanation for the embarrassing accidents, like falling onstage, when he addressed them on his 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!' appearance in 2024.

'I'm 6'2″. I'm up there trying to do Michael Jackson moves in too big of a frame, and when you add water to a stage and slick cowboy boots, you go down hard,' he detailed. 'It's not alcohol, fans. People are assuming — you can't just drink a bottle of vodka and go do a two-hour show.'
Bryan is just the latest celeb to get attacked while onstage.
In 2023, Cardi B threw a microphone and allegedly hit an audience member after the person pelted her with a drink while she was performing.

Before the incident, Eilish told The Hollywood Reporter, 'I've been getting hit onstage with things for like, literally, six years, I don't know why this is like new. People just get excited and it can be dangerous.'

'People were pissed at me for it, but now they're like, 'He was f–kin' right y'all shoulda listened to Steve!'' Lacy told Variety in 2023.
'I didn't apologize for that s–t because I'm not wrong!'

Here's Why Alex Cooper and Alix Earle Are Feuding
For the past six months, the internet has been convinced that podcast girlies Alex Cooper and Alix Earle are beefing—and now, Alix basically just confirmed as much. Quick background: Alix Earle's Hot Mess podcast—which launched in September 2023 as a 'weekly recap of her life revealing all the in-depth, exclusive details that has everyone watching, talking, and wanting more'—was dropped by Alex Cooper's Unwell Network back in February. The move came amid fans noticing that Alix skipped Unwell's Super Bowl being in New Orleans. At the time, multiple sources confirmed to Us Weekly that Alex and Alix were 'at odds,' with one insider telling the outlet that "there's a lot of tension." Per a second insider: 'They've had a lot of drama between them [since] they decided to collaborate on Unwell. They clashed over business, and their friendship is over because of it.' The plot thickened in March, when Alex took to TikTok to dispel feud rumors, claiming Unwell Network had nothing to do with Hot Mess ending. (This was seemingly done in response to Alix's Wall Street Journal interview, where she talked about the production politics that led to the show's hiatus.) 'Alix not being able to podcast has nothing to do Unwell," she wrote. '[I don't know] why she can't/what's going on.' She added that 'Unwell gave [Alix] everything back' and that Alix 'owns her IP.' The latest: On August 1, Alix posted a TikTok, where she alluded to wanting to 'start some shit.' She added, 'Lowkey, is this my time that I've been waiting for? I have so much information.' A fan then slid into her comments to write, 'Yes tell us what happened with Alex Cooper,' to which Alix replied, 'How much time do you have?' Alex has yet to respond to this latest shade, but I'm sat and ready for when it happens!

Dad Makes His 6-Year-Old Pay Rent and Utilities–Is This Strict or Savvy?
The kid's parents say it is a game, but it's not a joke. Raising responsible kids is pretty much an objective win in most parents' books. But if you ask how you should go about teaching responsibility, that's where things get a little more subjective. Specifically, teaching things like earning money and budgeting early in childhood can be seen as either smart or overbearing, depending on who you ask. And since all kids and families are different, how do we really know when responsibility should be a discussion? One dad who shared his money-teaching method on TikTok is getting a lot of attention. Never Too Early To Pay Your Dues? "Come with me as I collect rent from my 6-year-old daughter on the first of the month," states @micael_talksmoney in a recent TikTok. The Texas dad, who appears to be a financial literacy expert, reenacts what he says is a monthly practice between him and his daughter, Rose. In the video, we see dad knocking on Rose's bedroom door, requesting $3 for rent and $1 for utilities. The on-screen text reads, "Yes, my 6-year-old pays earns her paycheck." Rose happily hands over the payment and says, "See you next month." Dad goes on to explain that they are indeed serious about charging their daughter rent and utilities, and shows how the amount is organized in a "budget binder". He also demonstrates how Rose earns a certain amount by completing daily and weekly chores. According to "Rose's Chore Chart", every task earns points, and she needs to hit 25 total points to earn a $5 allowance. $5 then equates to 30 bonus points that she can use to get ice cream or an activity book. "It's not just about paying rent. It's about earning and learning," says dad. "This week, she hit 26 [points], so we pay her what she earned. She's learning about money now so she's financially savvy later." Amused Commenters Deposit Their Own Opinions In the TikTok caption, OP adds more about how the family makes the chores and earning a fun game, rather than a strict requirement for Rose. He writes that Rose loves it and is motivated to do tasks, knowing that there's a reward attached. What do they hope she learns from this practice? First, that money is earned, not given. Then soon, they'll teach her how to budget, save, and buy things she can afford. "Because learning to work with money at 6 means she won't struggle with it at 26, 💸" OP writes. The comments, which have reached over 4,800 to this point, are full of takes and quips about the "landlord" approach to parenting. Many applaud the education strategy, while others feel like it's doing a bit much. "wait i wish my parents did something like this 😭😭😭 financial literacy and comprehension is so important," writes one commenter. "It's actually smart. She learns young. Knows the value of a $. Good smart parenting," agrees another. Some decided to go the levity route with comments like, "If rent is that cheap at your house, do you have a spare room please? I need to learn about money too 😂😂😂," one person writes. Others think dad needs to chill: "I understand the paying the kids for doing chores. My Dad did that with me but paying bills is just annoying. Let her enjoy being a kid. She has the rest of her life to pay bills." A number of folks see it as an opportunity to not only teach, but do something cool with the investment on the back-end. For instance, one person offers, "it would be really neat if you guys did this until she graduates and then gift her the 'rent' money she had been paying as a graduation gift!" Another person who's on the same wavelength shared, "Funny story.... friends did this with their teen. And once the teen grew up, got engaged.... they gave him every dime back so he could put his deposit down on his first home purchase." In the End, Consistency Means More Than Currency I think this is a fun and effective way to introduce principles of earning and budgeting to young kids. Sure, any parent can tweak things according to their own situation–and that's the benefit of home court advantage, so to speak. Once kids enter the real world, there is no leeway or "bonus points" for paying rent on time. Is this teaching method a good fit for everyone at age 6? Probably not. But what's really important is implementing lessons that can be understood and impactful on their level, and investing in them long-term. Instead of being so focused on the perfect time to teach something and the perfect way to teach it, let's focus more on the consistency. No matter when you start the lesson or how long it takes, continue it until your kid can swim confidently on their own. Read the original article on Parents Solve the daily Crossword

1000-lb. Sisters' Tammy Slaton apologizes for drink she can't live without even after dramatic weight loss
1000-lb. Sisters star Tammy Slaton has revealed the one drink she won't be giving up despite her 500-pound weight loss: soda. The 39-year-old reality star shared a video Tuesday on TikTok about her weight loss journey, responding to someone who called her out for drinking soda in a recent post. In the comment, the TikTok user pointed out that soft drinks — which Slaton calls 'sodies' — have a lot of sugar and asked her about her current diet. Slaton responded by apologizing for her decision to drink soda. 'Everybody is different. I'm not supposed to drink the sodies as much, and that was Sprite,' she said. 'Well, sorry! So, you're right. You're right.' However, Slaton, who underwent bariatric surgery in 2022, said that she wasn't cutting soda out of her diet. Instead, she argued that she can have whatever she wants 'in moderation.' 'I drink a lot of water and I drink a lot of sodies, but I'm still three, four years post-op,' she said, referring to her weight-loss surgery. 'So everything I'm doing is not fine, but it's OK because I'm still continuing on my diet. I'm still continuing to lose weight and I'm still hitting goals.' When Slaton and her sister Amy's TLC show, 1000-lb Sisters, aired, they made their love for soda known. In an episode that aired in 2020, a dietician asked the siblings if they drink water during the day. Slaton and her sister both said no in response, noting that they mainly drank soda. Slaton then confessed that she drank about eight to 12 cans of soda a day. However, Slaton revealed in 2023 that she doesn't drink soda nearly as often. In a since-deleted TikTok, as reported by People, she said she only had two cans of soda a day or fewer. Slaton has also been open about her health journey over the years after getting bariatric surgery, which is designed to help people lose weight by altering the digestive system, in 2022. During the April season premiere of 1000-lb Sisters, she revealed that she was 'down 500 pounds.' 'When I was at my heaviest, I was 700-plus pounds. Right now, I'm weighing in at 238,' she said. Following her bariatric surgery, she underwent skin removal surgery, where over 15 pounds of excess skin were removed from her chin, arms, and lower stomach earlier this year. 'I was really nervous for the skin removal surgery because I was really just kind of afraid of how I'm gonna feel looking at myself without the belly there,' she revealed in an interview with People in June about the milestone. 'The night before my surgery, I was, like, seriously freaking terrified. I was even more nervous about having skin removal surgery than I was for the [sleeve gastrectomy] surgery because they're actually cutting the whole belly!'
