Watch Beyoncé, daughters congratulate mom Tina Knowles onstage for bestselling book
Beyoncé's "Cowboy Carter" tour continues to be a family affair with the superstar honoring her mom, Tina Knowles, and sharing a special moment with her during her second show in Los Angeles.
The Grammy-winning singer brought Knowles onstage at SoFi Stadium to congratulate her on her new memoir becoming a New York Times bestseller, a day after Knowles kicked off her "Matriarch" book tour in Washington, D.C.
During the May 1 show, Mama Tina joined Beyoncé and her daughters Blue Ivy Carter and Rumi Carter as Bey sang "Protector." Toward the end of the song, Beyoncé took a moment to applaud her mom on the success of her book and thousands of fans joined in for the moment.
'She has the No. 1 book — the New York Times bestseller,' Beyoncé told the crowd. "Everybody please say congratulations Mama T." And thousands of fans did so in unison.
Of course, Knowles released her book April 22. In it, she shares intimate details about her life, including private and public battles. Oprah Winfrey announced the book is the latest selection for her famous Oprah's Book Club.
As fans know, Beyoncé launched her Cowboy Carter and the Rodeo Chitlin' Circuit Tour on April 28 in Los Angeles, and the first show kicked off a total of 32 stadium shows. Fans from all over the world traveled to witness Beyoncé's debut show, which was filled with family, politics, soaring vocals, incredible costumes and masterful dancing.
The nine-city tour will span the U.S. and Europe with the grand finale taking place in Las Vegas on July 26. She's set to make history with her scheduled tour dates, including by playing the most dates at SoFi Stadium of any artist.
Meanwhile, Knowles is in the middle of her own her nine-city tour for her "Matriarch" memoir with the next stop taking place in the same city — Los Angeles — on May 2.

Today's NYT Mini Crossword Clues And Answers For Monday, June 9th
Looking for help with today's NYT Mini Crossword puzzle? Here are some hints and answers for the ... More puzzle. In case you missed Sunday's NYT Mini Crossword puzzle, you can find the answers here: It may not be Monday just yet, but that won't stop the New York Times from publishing their Monday crossword puzzles. While most Mini Crosswords and the regular Crossword are published the evening prior, Sunday and Monday puzzles go live in the afternoon. Today's is a full square grid with no black spaces. Let's fill it in! The NYT Mini is a smaller, quicker, more digestible, bite-sized version of the larger and more challenging NYT Crossword, and unlike its larger sibling, it's free-to-play without a subscription to The New York Times. You can play it on the web or the app, though you'll need the app to tackle the archive. Across 1A. Flower that sounds like a parental nickname — POPPY 6A. Savvy — AWARE FEATURED | Frase ByForbes™ Unscramble The Anagram To Reveal The Phrase Pinpoint By Linkedin Guess The Category Queens By Linkedin Crown Each Region Crossclimb By Linkedin Unlock A Trivia Ladder 7A. Birthplace of Buddhism — INDIA 8A. Stretches outside of a party? — LIMOS 9A. Button next to "Select" on old Nintendo controllers — START Down 1D. Beach buckets — PAILS 2D. Take responsibility for something — OWN 3D. Lakshmi of "Top Chef" — PADMA 4D. Previous — PRIOR 5D. Ingredient that makes bread rise — YEAST Today's NYT Mini I'm not sure I like the clue 'Savvy' for AWARE but other than that, this was a reasonably straightforward crossword. I don't know 'Top Chef' so I had no idea Lakshmi's first name was PADMA but I filled that in along with 6-Across to wrap things up. A lot of the other stuff I knew — START on a Nintendo, INDIA as the birthplace of Buddhism, YEAST makes bread rise, etc. — but it took me a minute to come up with POPPY and LIMOS, and OWNIT was one I basically had to fill in with other words. This took me 1:33. How did you do? Let me know on Twitter, Instagram or Facebook. If you also play Wordle, I write guides about that as well. You can find those and all my TV guides, reviews and much more here on my blog. Thanks for reading!

Today's NYT Strands hints and answers Credit: New York Times Looking for Sunday's Strands hints, spangram and answers? You can find them here: The days keep alternating between rain and sunshine, just the way I like it. If only the entire summer would just equally divide this way. Some sunny warmth in the morning. A light afternoon rain to cool things off. Sun back just in time for sunset and a balmy evening. Paradise. And during those rainy moments, we can hide inside and solve puzzles. Let's solve today's Strands! Strands is the newest game in the New York Times' stable of puzzle games. It's a fun twist on classic word search games. Every day we're given a new theme and then tasked with uncovering all the words on the grid that fit that theme, including a spangram that spans two sides of the board. One of these words is the spangram which crosses from one side of the grid to another and reveals even more about the day's theme. Spoilers ahead. Read on for today's theme and some hints to help you uncover today's words. Instead of giving you the first two letters of each word, today I'm giving out three hints instead of two. Today's Theme: What you see isn't what you get Hint: Similar to wearing a costume. Clue: Not Halloween costumes, though. Here are the first two letters of each of today's words: Remember, spoilers ahead! Today's spangram is: FALSEFRONT Here's the full list of words: Here's the completed Strands grid: Today's Strands Screenshot: Erik Kain I have to say, I love today's Strands solely because of how clever it is to form a ? in the grid. That's a stroke of genius. This wasn't the trickiest grid ever, but given the nature of the game—to hide words—making a Strands puzzle all about DISGUISE and then forming a question mark with the words and the spangram—FALSEFRONT—is just brilliant. Bravo, New York Times puzzle-setters! Bravo! How did you do on your Strands today? Let me know on Twitter and Facebook.

Lizzo Shows Off Her Weight Loss While Rapping and Dancing in a Skimpy String Bikini: Watch
Lizzo shared a video of herself rapping and dancing in a pink and gray string bikini on Instagram on Saturday, June 7 The singer — who has been open about her 'weight release' journey — has been posting fun summer bathing suit videos since Memorial Day Lizzo shared that she had reached her weight loss goal in January 2025Lizzo is embracing her bikini era! The 'Truth Hurts' singer, 37, shared a video on Instagram of herself dancing in a pink and gray string bikini in front of a backyard pool on Saturday, June 7. She also wore a black face covering as she swayed and moved to a track of herself rapping. 'BLACK TRUCK A-- POKING OUT THA WINDOW,' she captioned the post — which is also one of the lyrics to the song that played in the background. Lizzo is no stranger to a fun summer photo shoot. She shared a video of herself dancing and lip-syncing in a yellow and blue bikini and high heels on May 24 to celebrate Memorial Day. The musician has been vocal on social media and in interviews about her weight loss journey since 2023. She also has reminded her followers that the ultimate goal of her weight loss was to improve her mental health. 'Exercise has helped me shift my mind, not my body," she said in a May 2023 TikTok video. Later, in a March 2024 interview with The New York Times, Lizzo revealed that she had been 'methodical' with her health plan and was 'losing weight very slowly.' She also told the outlet that her idea of body positivity had 'evolved into body neutrality.' 'I'm not going to lie and say I love my body every day,' she explained. 'The bottom line is, the way you feel about your body changes every single day. There are some days I adore my body, and others when I don't feel completely positive.' In January 2025, the 'About Damn Time' singer shared two mirror selfies on Instagram overlaid with screenshots from an app that showed her weight goal had been achieved. 'I did it,' she captioned the post. 'Today when I stepped on my scale, I reached my weight release goal. I haven't seen this number since 2014! Let this be a reminder you can do anything you put your mind to. Time for new goals!' The stats in her photos revealed that the star had lowered her body mass index by 10.5 and had lost 16% of her body fat.

Lizzo has also been open about the intentional way she talks about losing weight. During an April 7 interview on the On Purpose with Jay Shetty podcast, the singer said that she prefers the term 'weight release' to 'weight loss.' "My man, he's so funny,' she said, referring to her boyfriend, Myke Wright. 'He was the one that brought it to my attention at first. Because at first I was like, 'Oh my gosh, I lost five pounds,' and he was like, 'Where did it go?' " 'It's like, I don't think I want to lose anything. I think I want to win. I think I want to gain,' she added. Read the original article on People
