Beyoncé's 'Beyhive' Fans Injured In Stampede After Atlanta Concert
Beyoncé's 'Cowboy Carter' tour made a stop at Atlanta's Mercedes-Benz Stadium earlier this week, but the night took a scary turn at the nearby Vine City MARTA station.
After the concert, fans flooded the station to catch their rides home, but things quickly turned chaotic. According to reports from AllHipHop, the panic started when a woman screamed and ran after seeing a bug. That caused a ripple effect of fear, and soon, others began running too, unsure of what was happening.
A MARTA spokesperson later explained that the panic was triggered by the woman's reaction: 'The initial reports were that a woman was scared of an insect and screamed and ran away from it, and others panicked not knowing what was happening.' As people rushed toward the escalators, they gained speed and then suddenly stopped, causing riders to fall.
In the end, nine people were injured. One person broke an ankle, and seven others were treated for minor injuries at nearby hospitals. The rest of the injured fans refused medical help. While it seemed like a terrifying situation, there was no clear reason for the panic other than the initial scare.
In a separate incident that same night, Christopher Grant, Beyoncé's choreographer, reported that several suitcases had been stolen, containing important items for the tour. The stolen items included hard drives with unreleased music, future set lists, and other sensitive materials for Beyoncé's shows. Police records said Grant explained that the items were essential for her upcoming performance in Atlanta, making the night even more stressful for the team.

Piers Morgan Says Late-Night Hosts Are 'Hyper-Partisan Activist Hacks For The Democrats' & It's 'No Wonder' Stephen Colbert 'Got Canned'
While Stephen Colbert has received plenty of support from fellow television mainstays and late-night hosts following the unceremonious cancellation of The Late Show, Piers Morgan isn't among them. Earlier today, the British media personality took to X to slam Colbert and other longtime late-night hosts, alleging these figures were nothing more than puppets for the Democratic Party. More from Deadline 2025 Premiere Dates For New & Returning Series On Broadcast, Cable & Streaming John Oliver Zeroes In On Laundry List Of Trump's Connections To Jeffrey Epstein: "Nothing To See!" Donald Trump Repeats False Claim Beyoncé Was Paid $11 Million To Endorse Kamala Harris; Calls To Prosecute Singer, Oprah & Al Sharpton 'This is so damning,' Morgan wrote alongside a cover of New York Post that outlined the political leanings of Colbert's guests, which skewed toward the left. 'Most of America's biggest late-night hosts have become nothing more than hyper-partisan activist hacks for the Democrats — a party that's rarely been more unpopular. No wonder Colbert got canned. More will follow.' Morgan, who has alternately supported and critiqued president Donald Trump and does not consider himself right-wing, continued his commentary in several other tweets, beginning with an endorsement of Jay Leno's recent comments questioning why late-night hosts would 'alienate' half their audience by 'cozying too much to one side or the other.' The host of YouTube's Piers Morgan Uncensored continued in another tweet, this time aimed at fellow U.K.-hailing peer John Oliver: 'UPDATE: Just watched a drooling @60Minutes segment tonight about John Oliver who was proud of telling his viewers not to vote for Trump at last election. He told them to vote for Kamala Harris instead. That's not comedy, it's partisan political activism.' And, when responding to a tweet by political commentator and MSNBC contributor Brian Tyler Cohen, Morgan stated, 'Trump didn't cancel Colbert… he cancelled himself with poor ratings, huge costs, and boring viewers with anti-Trump bias.' Just a couple days after Stephen Colbert ripped into parent company Paramount's $16 million settlement with president Donald Trump on the air — a move he likened to a 'big fat bribe' aimed to grease the Federal Trade Commission's approval of a year-long pending merger between Paramount Global and David Ellison's Skydance Media — he revealed to audiences that CBS would be axing The Late Show, the franchise first begun by host David Letterman in 1993. Executives defended the cancellation, calling it 'purely a financial decision against a challenging backdrop in late night' that 'is not related in any way to the show's performance, content or other matters happening at Paramount.' Since Colbert made the shocking revelation public July 17, Trump has vocally celebrated the show's retiring, as a majority of the show's writers represented by the Writers Guild of America have called on New York State Attorney General Letitia James to launch an investigation into 'potential wrongdoing' at Paramount. This comes as a number of Senate Democrats, like Adam Schiff and Elizabeth Warren, made statements defending constituents' right to know if the series was canceled due to political reasons. In additional fallout, protesters gathered outside the Ed Sullivan Theater in New York City where Colbert tapes to push back against the decision. As for Colbert himself, he has made it clear that he will not go gentle into that good night, telling Trump to 'go f— himself.' He added in the July 21 episode of his show, 'But [CBS] made one mistake. They left me alive. Now for the next 10 months, the gloves are off. I can finally speak unvarnished truth to power and say what I really think about Donald Trump. I don't care for him. Doesn't have the skillset to be president.'

Marcus Morris Arrested At Florida Airport Over Fraud Charge
Source: Alex Goodlett / Getty NBA player Marcus Morris' attempt to enjoy the last few weeks of his offseason has been interrupted. Arrest records show Morris was arrested this week in Broward County, Florida, on one charge of fraud for 'insufficient funds.' Yahoo! Sports confirms that he was detained at the airport, and while fans wondered about the nature of the charge, his twin brother Markieff hopped on social media to suggest that authorities were blowing the arrest out of proportion. 'The wording is crazy. Damn for that amount of money they'll embarrass you in the airport with your family,' Markieff said. 'They got y'all really thinking bro did some fraud sh-t. They could have came to the crib for all that. When y'all hear the real story on this sh-t man. All I can say is Lesson learned. Bro will tell y'all tomorrow. This weird sh-t gave me a headache. Can't stop nothin!' Marcus' agent, Yony Noy, then replied to that tweet, explaining that it's all because of an unpaid casino debt, which is allowed if you owe the establishment more than $1,200. 'Just so everyone understands this is zero fraud here or whatever crap outlets have said regarding fake checks or whatever the hell,' Noy wrote. 'This is due to an outstanding marker with a casino. Apparently if you have over $1,200 they can issue a warrant for your arrest. Absolute insanity!' Marcus initially got his start alongside his brother at Kansas before they both declared for the 2011 draft. He'd even be drafted just one spot after his brother with the 14th pick to the Houston Rockets. After two seasons there, he was traded to the Phoenix Suns, followed by stints with the Boston Celtics, New York Knicks, Los Angeles Clippers, his hometown Philadelphia 76ers, and his last team, the Cavaliers, in 2024. He hasn't officially retired, but he has been a frequent guest on ESPN's shows, serving as an analyst on First Take and Get Up . See social media's reaction to Morris' legal snafu below.
