Megyn Kelly Responds to Beyoncé Splicing Footage of Her Into ‘Cowboy Carter' Tour, Slams Singer for Playing the Victim
Megyn Kelly is clapping back at Beyoncé after learning footage of her making disparaging remarks about the singer has been featured on the 'Cowboy Carter' tour.
On Thursday's episode of 'The Megyn Kelly Show,' the host brought up clips of her that were spliced into Beyoncé's ongoing concert tour. In the clip, which was from an appearance on 'Paul Murray Live,' Kelly mockingly said the album was being referred to as a Second Coming and that Beyoncé was the savior of country music. Kelly called the artist 'one more aggrieved woman' for her inclusion of the remarks.
'You're not allowed to rip on her, by the way, you're not allowed to rip on Michelle Obama, either, but we do,' Kelly said as she talked about how Beyoncé is considered untouchable from criticism. 'Too bad. The more untouchable you tell me somebody is, the more likely I am to want to hit them.'
She continued: 'She had to scour the internet to find anybody who offered any criticism of this move whatsoever. Here is another one of the most privileged, beloved women in the world … and richest based on her own fortune, never mind the man she's married to, but still has to look for the one sliver where she could play the victim and be aggrieved, because big bad Megyn Kelly said something completely milk toast about her entry into country music.'
Kelly is one of the few who are not on board with the 'Cowboy Carter' tour. When the shows kicked off in L.A. at the end of April, a number of celebrities took to social media to celebrate the performance.
'Finally got to sing 'Texas Hold 'Em at the top of my lungs with Beyoncé!' Oprah Winfrey shared in a video post the day after Beyoncé's first night in Los Angeles. 'Threw my keys up so hard and now I gotta go find them.'
'COWBOY CARTER GAVE ME EXACTLY WHAT I NEEDED! I am filled!! So many messages! WHAT A NIGHT!!! MY SIS! BlueBlue's WALK!! Rumi's unforgettable Smile!!! INCREDIBLE SHOW!!' Kelly Rowland exclaimed.

Ana De Armas Says European Audiences Differ From American Because ‘They Know About Cinema and They Have Good Taste'
Ana de Armas knows the difference between European and American moviegoers – 'good taste.' During her 'Hot Ones' interview Thursday, host Sean Evans asked the 'Ballerina' star if she noticed a difference between 'what somebody who buys a movie ticket in Madrid is looking for vs. someone in L.A.' The actress said that American cinema has a greater influence in Europe than European cinema does here, but that with European moviegoers, it comes down to taste. 'The influence of American cinema in Europe is stronger I would say,' de Armas began. 'Europeans like European films I would say. I think Europeans also – or Spanish people – have a pretty wide spectrum of, they know about cinema, and they have good taste.' De Armas appeared on the show to promote her upcoming film 'Ballerina,' an action-forward spinoff set in the 'John Wick' universe.

Tahini Is a High Protein Food You Can Eat Every Day—With Almost Everything
When cooking at home, it's easy to get into a rut. Same-old salad. Same-old salmon. Same-old pasta dish. Sometimes, however, all it takes is a new ingredient to change everything. One favorite? Tahini. Not only is it delicious, but it's also high in protein, minerals, healthy fats, and antioxidants. And if that isn't enough to convince you, consider this: Beyoncé apparently uses tahini as an ingredient in one of her go-to salad dressings. What is tahini? Tahini, also known as tahina, is a paste made from hulled, ground sesame seeds. It has a soft, creamy consistency and is made by mixing roasted and ground white sesame seeds with olive oil, avocado oil, or sesame oil. You probably know tahini as one of the main ingredients in hummus, but it's also present in other classic Middle Eastern dishes such as halva with almonds and pistachios and baba ganoush. Many dishes from North Africa and parts of Asia also feature tahini. What does tahini taste like? The flavor of tahini is mildly nutty and just a tiny bit bitter. Its neutrality, richness, and depth of flavor make it suitable for dishes that range from savory to sweet. It has a smooth, creamy texture similar to thin almond butter or peanut butter. One tablespoon of tahini has: Calories: 89 Protein: 3 g Carbohydrates: 3 g Fat: 8 g Fiber: 2 g Copper: 27% of the Daily Value (DV) Selenium: 9% of the DV Phosphorus: 9% of the DV Iron: 7% of the DV Zinc: 6% of the DV Calcium: 5% of the DV What are the health benefits of tahini? Tahini is high in protein, antioxidants, healthy fats, and contains essential minerals such as calcium, selenium, iron, and zinc. Below, a breakdown of some of the benefits of tahini. Contraindications Tahini is safe for most people to consume, but should be avoided by those who are allergic to sesame. As it is rich in omega 6, it is important that it is always balanced by adequate amounts of omega 3, to avoid the onset of inflammation—so be sure to eat it as part of a balanced diet. How to use tahini Tahini is versatile, flavorful, and easy to use. It adds a dose of extra protein, minerals, and flavor to nearly anything and makes a tasty, plant-based substitute for dairy, butter, or cream. As mentioned, Beyoncé uses it in a dressing made with olive oil, lemon juice, grated ginger, chopped parsley, Tabasco, and shoyu or soy sauce. You can use tahini as you would any other nut butter—spread it onto toasted bread, drizzle over avocado toast, spread it onto whole-grain crackers, or use it on a spread in sandwiches. For a quick sweet and savory snack, spread tahini over spelt crackers with a drizzle of honey, sliced banana, and a sprinkle of cinnamon.

Summer concert season has officially begun
Happy Saturday! How would you feel if you were invited to a wedding on a Thursday? While some guests were pretty angry, this writer thinks it's pretty smart. Find out why! On the agenda: The most common sign of colon cancer is one that can be hard to talk about. The "Taylor's Version" era is officially over. A cosmetic surgeon says she has to steer some clients away from " ab etching." Sex work was supposed to be a fast track to financial freedom. Not anymore. But first: Summer sing-alongs. This week's dispatchThe great outdoor jam session Beyoncé kicked off my live-music summer earlier this week, turning New Jersey's MetLife Stadium into a proper rodeo when she brought her tour, Cowboy Carter, to town. Even though it's nearly June, it sure didn't feel like it last Thursday. In fact, Beyoncé performed in the pouring rain. (Thank God for ponchos.) Still, a little bad weather wouldn't stop me from having a good time. I'm a die-hard concert lover. And I'm not alone. According to EMARKETER, a market research company owned by Business Insider's parent company, Axel Springer, Gen Z and millennials are more likely to attend a live event this summer than other generations. In fact, nearly three-quarters of people age 18 to 29 and 59% of consumers who are 30 to 44 are expected to attend at least one concert this summer. If you want to grab a ticket, there's no shortage of acts to see perform this summer, no matter what type of music you're into. From Kendrick Lamar and SZA to Mumford & Sons, Lady Gaga, and Oasis, you're in for a treat. Let's just hope the weather is better for you than it was for me and Bey. An embarrassing sign of colon cancer Colon cancer diagnoses are on the rise among young people, and stigma is one reason it can be hard to catch. Symptoms like rectal bleeding and changes in bowel movements are early signs of colon cancer, but some people don't know how to talk about it with their doctors. Fortunately, there's a movement to destigmatize words like "poop" and "stool." The push to make poop talk less taboo. All the versions are Taylor's After a record-setting tour and plenty of NFL game appearances, Taylor Swift noticeably disappeared from the public spotlight this year. The superstar's vacation even seemed to frustrate some fans, who had grown accustomed to seeing her in public for the past year-plus. But on Friday, Swift showed them what had kept her so busy: acquiring her original music catalogue. The deal ended the musician's long fight to own and control her art. It won't be a cruel summer for Taylor. Not even Taylor Swift can take a vacation without backlash The rise of "ab etching" More men are requesting cosmetic procedures, and their abs aren't off limits. "Ab etching" is a type of targeted liposuction that makes abdominal muscles more pronounced. This kind of fat removal can be painful and requires an ab-defining lifestyle to maintain. BI spoke with cosmetic surgeon Dr. Giselle Prado-Wright about who may be the right fit for this procedure. Some should steer clear, though. The one filler this cosmetic surgeon is begging you not to get Stuck in sex work Ayesha Kazim for BI Faced with a brutal job market, some Gen Zers turned to sex work to make ends meet. For many of them, it was the quickest way to achieve financial freedom. Because of the economic downturn of the past few years, many strippers, escorts, and camgirls have had to slash rates to compete for clients. What was supposed to be a backup plan or temporary gig now looks like a job they can't quit. " It's a lot quieter in the club."
