Jay-Z & Beyoncé Bless The Stage Together, Hov Sends Shots At Kanye
Beyoncé fans at Paris' Stade de France got more than they bargained for during the final night of her three-date Cowboy Carter Tour stop, a surprise appearance by none other than Jay-Z.
The June 22nd show marked the first time The Carters shared the stage in concert since 2018's Global Citizen Festival, Mandela 100 in Johannesburg. The crowd went crazy when Hov joined his wife for their 2003 hit 'Crazy in Love,' which originally topped the Billboard Hot 100 for eight weeks and remains a cornerstone of Beyoncé's setlist.
While the song is a tour staple, Jay-Z's verse has been notably absent until now. In the City of Love, fans witnessed a rare live reunion of the duo on one of their signature tracks. The surprises didn't stop there. Jay-Z stuck around for a sultry rendition of 'Drunk in Love,' uniquely remixed with elements of 'Partition,' making it the first and only time that medley has appeared on the Cowboy Carter Tour
The show reached a fever pitch when Jay launched into his solo hit 'N*ggas in Paris,' electrifying the stadium. The track, originally recorded with Ye for their 2011 ' Watch the Throne ' album, felt especially fitting for the occasion. While Jay was performing, he seemed to take a little jab at Mr. West. The 2011 song is a big hit from his album Watch the Throne with West, and usually includes the line, 'Just might let you meet Ye.' The Roc Nation mogul changed the lyrics and said, 'Just might let you meet Bey,' talking about his wife of 17 years, and left out West's name.
The reunion not only celebrated the couple's shared musical legacy, but also reignited excitement about their collaborative potential. For the City of Love, this wasn't just a concert, it was a moment, one that fans had waited more than six years to witness live again.

Michael Peregrine: 60 years ago, the Beatles invaded Comiskey Park
Before Beyoncé and Taylor Swift were John, Paul, George and Ringo. The Fab Four. The spearhead of the British Invasion. Then, and probably still now, the most popular rock 'n' roll band in the world. Wednesday is the 60th anniversary of the Beatles' performance at Comiskey Park. You read that right — the Lads from Liverpool played at the Baseball Palace of the World in Bridgeport, not at the future national historical landmark at Clark and Addison streets. With the band's popularity at global proportions, the event at the time was one of the most anticipated musical performances in Chicago history. The actual performance was the rock 'n' roll equivalent of a day-night doubleheader. The band appeared in the afternoon before a crowd of 25,000 people and again in the evening before 37,000. Note that the White Sox were then averaging only about 14,000 fans per game. The Beatles had arrived in Chicago red-hot, in the middle of a wildly popular national tour that began with the famous concert in New York's Shea Stadium. They were riding the crest of popularity from multiple No. 1 hits, and the release, only a few days earlier, of their second movie, 'Help!' Their journey to the Comiskey concert was typical of the bedlam that accompanied their performances. Band members were flying into Chicago from Houston, the site of their most recent concert. According to news reports, they were not allowed to land at O'Hare airport due to the authorities' concern that their presence, and the associated fan attention, might play havoc on airport operations. They were diverted to Midway and had to make an arduous cross-town drive to their accommodations at the Sahara Inn North at 3939 Mannheim Road, next to O'Hare, where they had stayed during an initial 1964 visit to Chicago. According to news reports, band management had avoided prime downtown hotels for security purposes. Yet their plan was reportedly betrayed by leaks from the hotel staff, which quickly led to pandemonium. Throngs of young fans swarmed the hotel, forcing the band to leave through a back corridor, an ongoing occupational hazard for the Beatles. According to the Beatles' recorded history, the Comiskey Park set list was a familiar one to fans of the band's early years: a short version of 'Twist and Shout,' followed by 'She's a Woman,' 'I Feel Fine.' 'Dizzy Miss Lizzy,' 'Ticket To Ride,' 'Everybody's Trying To Be My Baby,' 'Can't Buy Me Love,' 'Baby's in Black,' 'Act Naturally,' 'A Hard Day's Night,' 'Help!' and 'I'm Down.' It's a fair bet that a large percentage of Chicago baby boomers could sing the lyrics to each of those songs on a moment's notice. In many ways, the summer of 1965 represented the height of Beatlemania and the hair-pulling, foot-stomping, stage-crashing euphoria that it typified. The band would, of course, go on to greater commercial and artistic success and acclaim. But it was changing, the times were changing and the music was changing, too. 'Rubber Soul' and 'Revolver' arrived in late 1965 and early 1966, respectively. 'Sgt. Pepper' and 'Magical Mystery Tour' followed in 1967. The Beatles stopped touring at the end of 1966 and disbanded in 1970, which makes the Comiskey Park concert a unique moment in time. Every generation is entitled to its own form of musical rapture. For the baby boomers, it was — and remains — Beatlemania. And it lives on though films such as Martin Scorsese's 'Beatles '64' and Disney's 'Let it Be'; through documentaries such as 'McCartney 3,2,1'; through two new books about Ringo Starr; and through Ringo and Paul McCartney's constant touring. And the indefatigable McCartney is expected to pack the United Center for his Nov. 24 and 25 concerts. Old Comiskey Park is of course gone now; they paved that paradise and put up a parking lot. But the location of home plate has been preserved in a faithfully created marble marker, inlaid in the surface of the lot just north of the new Rate Field, by Gate 5 in Lot B at the northeast corner of 35th Street and Shields Avenue. So the next time you're at a Sox game, go over and stand in at the home plate marker. Look to the northeast toward an imaginary second base, where the Beatles' stage was once set up and where the band stood in its classic formation. Then close your eyes for a second and believe in yesterday. When you were just 17. You know what I mean.

Omen or harbinger of doom? Fox Nation explores the chilling mystery that turned a small town into a spectacle
Half a century after eyewitnesses first reported a red-eyed creature that kept pace with their car at speeds of 100 miles per hour, thousands still flock to Point Pleasant, West Virginia, hoping to catch a glimpse of the mystery known as the Mothman. Eyewitness accounts go beyond sightings of a winged, red-eyed figure. Some said they received eerie phone calls, while others recalled visits from men in black suits who warned them to "forget what you saw." That enduring sense of mystery, Fox Nation's Abby Hornacek noted, is what makes the Mothman's story so chilling. "It's kind of one of those fun theories… but it also offers a bit of history, because there were real events that happened around the time of these Mothman sightings that give context to our history, like World War II and the Silver Bridge collapse," Hornacek, who hosts the new feature "Mothman: The Man, The Moth, The Legend," said in an interview with Fox News Digital. In her new special, Hornacek retraces the footsteps of eyewitnesses, local journalists and lifelong believers to explore why the legend of the Mothman still captivates Americans nearly six decades later. Along the way, she examined the Silver Bridge disaster of December 1967, when the structure collapsed during rush hour, killing 46 people. Many believed Mothman sightings were connected, with some convinced the creature was a harbinger of doom and others suspecting it had caused the tragedy itself. The area was also near the West Virginia Ordnance Works, where explosives were made for the war effort during World War II, which only adds to speculation and intrigue. Whether linked to military history or local tragedy, the sightings cemented Mothman as more than a fleeting scare, a legend that continues to draw crowds to Point Pleasant decades later. "Thousands of people from around the world come to this Mothman Festival because they are so intrigued by this creature…" Hornacek told the outlet. Each year, Point Pleasant hosts the Mothman Festival on the third weekend of September, drawing attendees who dress up as the legendary cryptid, enjoy live music, listen to paranormal experts share their insights, and browse a wide range of vendors. Hornacek, who visited the festival during her investigation, described the atmosphere of intrigue, enthusiasm and belief. "I really appreciated being around people who are so passionate about something in their lives," she said. "People are really intrigued by folklore. And, at the end of the day, it's just kind of a fun thing to be around." The Fox Nation feature includes firsthand accounts from eyewitnesses like Linda Sigman, who waited 50 years before sharing her story. Reflecting on her work with Fox Nation, Hornacek said she feels "really blessed" to have tackled a wide range of projects, from national parks to folklore. But the Mothman investigation, she noted, stands apart. "This special is different from anything I've ever done," she said. "It kind of put me in a new direction, and it was interesting to dive deeper into something I hadn't known about." As for what she hopes audiences will take away from the feature, Hornacek said: "I hope people learn something new, maybe even come away intrigued by West Virginia itself, the locals, and the beauty of that area."
