Sheryl Crow's terror as armed man breaks into her remote Nashville property
Singer Sheryl Crow , 63, has told of her terror after an armed man broke into her property. The country music star sold her Tesla last year in protest at Elon Musk 's efforts to eradicate US government programs through his so-called DOGE ( Department of Government Efficiency ). At the time she shared a video outside of her home waving the car off as it left on a tow truck. She said: My parents always said… you are who you hang out with. There comes a time when you have to decide who you are willing to align with. So long Tesla. 'Money donated to @npr, which is under threat by President Musk, in hopes that the truth will continue to find its way to those willing to know the truth.' But shortly after, the nine-time Grammy winner was terrified to discover an armed man had broken into her 10-stall barn on her remote Nashville property. The singer was left shaken up by the intruder. She said: 'There was a moment where I actually really felt very afraid: A man got on my property, in my barn, who was armed. 'It doesn't feel safe when you're dealing with people who are so committed. This feels different,' she said. 'Because when I came out against Walmart carrying guns, not everybody was armed and certainly I didn't live in Tennessee, where everybody is armed.' Crow, who has two adopted sons, says she will not be silenced. She left the Hollywood Hills in 2007 - calls her Congressional representatives Andy Ogles and Marsha Blackburn every single day for the sake of her adopted sons Wyatt, 18; and Levi, 16. 'Tennessee is a hard place for me. I mean, I struggle,' she said. 'We have to stand up and be vocal and fight for the future for our kids.' Crow - who's sold over 50 million albums worldwide - famously kicked off her career as a jingle singer before serving backing vocalist duties during the late King of Pop Michael Jackson's Bad World Tour 1987–1989. Major hits in the 1990s included All I Wanna Do, Every Day Is A Winding Road and James Bond theme Tomorrow Never Dies. The breast cancer survivor, who also survived a brain tumour, previously dated 17-time Grammy winner Eric Clapton, Oscar nominee Owen Wilson, and disgraced cyclist Lance Armstrong .

Jimmy Kimmel: ‘Between Elon and Melania, Trump now has two foreigners who won't sleep with him'
Late-night hosts delved into the rift between Elon Musk and Donald Trump after Musk publicly criticized Trump's so-called big, beautiful bill. Jimmy Kimmel delved into a new drama consuming Washington on Wednesday: the 'big, beautiful brouhaha titled Trump v Musk that is troubling Scam-alot. That would be the new rift between Trump and his erstwhile adviser and administration mascot Musk, who recently departed the government after gutting the civil service as head of the so-called department of government efficiency (Doge). Musk was reportedly 'butthurt' by the end of his tenure – 'and yes they did use that word, it was a quote of some of the stuff that was in the bill', Kimmel explained on Wednesday evening. 'Usually when Elon's butt hurts, it's because of all the drugs he's trying to smuggle through White House security, but this time it's different.' On Tuesday, Musk made his displeasure with the Trump administration known, posting a series of messages on X in which he called Trump's so-called big, beautiful bill a 'disgusting abomination' and lashed out at the Republican politicians who voted for it. 'In November next year, fire all politicians who betrayed the American people,' he wrote. 'First he fired the American people, next he wants to fire the politicians,' Kimmel quipped. Kimmel also had harsh words for any Democrats who sought common ground with Musk over what Stephen Miller has called 'the most Maga bill' ever proposed. 'The real truth is Musk is mad about the things that affect him, like cutting the electric vehicle tax credit, not using his company Starlink for air traffic control and that they pulled his friend's nomination for head of Nasa,' Kimmel explained. 'What Elon Musk cares about is Elon Musk. 'And you can tell Trump doesn't want to exacerbate this,' even though he is reportedly, and unsurprisingly, furious. 'He's been unusually quiet,' Kimmel noted. 'He hasn't punched back. In fact, he kinda disappeared today. Usually he's got reporters in the Oval Office, he's out yelling on the helipad – none of that today. 'No executive orders, no angry posts about Elon on Truth Social,' he added. 'Very unlike him to show restraint, so this must be serious. Between Elon and Melania, Trump now has two foreigners who won't sleep with him.' On Late Night, Seth Meyers dug into the New York Times's bombshell report on Musk's chronic ketamine use, which has allegedly resulting in bladder issues. 'First of all, it's nice to know that when he was jumping on stage with Trump, he wasn't happy, he just really had to pee,' Meyers laughed. 'Second, when I hear that story I think man, I wish that had been the Biden scandal – 'nah dude, he wasn't old, he was tripping balls. That debate? Full k-hole.' 'So things have been bad for Elon, which is what happens to everyone who sells their soul to Trump,' he continued. 'But I actually think Elon's been resigned to his fate. We've just been watching him go through the five stages of grief in real time.' First there was denial, when Musk jumped on stage at Trump's rallies. Then anger, as Musk yelled at said rallies. Then bargaining, 'in this case literally bargaining with Trump to buy a Tesla from him' on the White House lawn. Then depression, when Musk appeared dejected in an interview with Fox News's Larry Kudlow, and said he was only managing to run his other businesses 'with great difficulty'. And finally there's acceptance, 'which is where Elon appears to be now', said Meyers, 'because we're watching him slowly realize in real time that he might have fucked up.' 'It's not like I agree with everything the administration did,' Musk said earlier this week. 'I don't want to speak out against the administration, but I also don't want to take responsibility for everything the administration is doing.' 'Then you shouldn't have made yourself the Trump administration's mascot!' Meyers responded. 'Clearly for Elon Musk, this was all about power and self-enrichment, because when it comes to his actual stated beliefs, the things he claims to care about, he achieved nothing,' Meyers added. 'And in the process, he was abused and discarded by Donald Trump, like so many before him. 'Yesterday in Washington, the thinkable happened: there's trouble brewing between the president and former first buddy Elon Musk,' said Stephen Colbert on the Late Show. 'I'm starting to worry that two narcissistic megalomaniacs with a total inability to see value in other humans might have a hard time making friends,' he joked. Colbert referred to Musk's posts on X, where he called the big, beautiful bill a 'disgusting abomination'. 'Apparently the ketamine has worn off,' said Colbert. 'That's gotta be a helluva hangover. 'Oh my God, I spent $300m to elect who? I have how many children?! That can't be their names!'' Musk has found a strange ally in the far-right lawmaker Marjorie Taylor Greene, who this week also turned on the bill she already voted for, after she finally read the section that strips states of the right to make laws or regulate AI for 10 years. Greene claimed: 'I would have voted NO if I had known this was in there.' 'Isn't your job knowing what's in there …?' Colbert mused. 'That's like a paramedic saying, 'I wouldn't have cracked open his chest if I knew it was going to be all gooey in there.'' Colbert also touched on other Republicans who are now objecting to the bill that, once again, they already voted for. 'Does anyone in Congress read anything before they vote on it?' he wondered. 'Are we being governed via Apple user agreement?'

Cowboy Carter tour tickets still available just hours ahead of first London show
Beyonce will take to the stage at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium tonight and fans can still snap up tickets for the gig, as the singer struggles to sell out her Cowboy Carter tour It's good news for British Beyoncé fans wanting to see Queen B in London this week, with hundreds of tickets still available as the iconic singer struggles to sell out her Cowboy Carter tour. The 43-year-old will perform her first of six gigs at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium this evening, followed by shows on June 7, 10, 12, 14, and 16, after the tour for her eighth studio album began in April in the US in Inglewood, California. At the time of writing, just hours before Beyoncé takes to the stage inside the 62,000 capacity venue, over 105 listings on ticket sites are up for grabs. On TicketMaster, fans can grab a ticket for a seat with a restricted view for just £71, while on Viagogo, members of the BeyHive can pay £54 to secure their place inside Tottenham Hotspur Stadium this evening. Fans with a little more cash to splash on last-minute purchases can get themselves a South GA Standing Ticket for £224.85 or £278 for seated in decent areas. It's a stark difference to the last time Beyonce performed in the UK in 2023 on the Renaissance World Tour, which saw her play five sell-out dates at the same London venue. So far in the Cowboy Carter tour, Beyonce 's set has seen her perform classic hits such as Love On Top, If I Were A Boy and Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It), along with tracks from her latest album, which saw her move into country music, including Texas Hold 'Em, 16 Carriages and II Most Wanted. The Houston-born star has also been performing covers of The Beatles' Blackbird and Dolly Parton's Jolene. Doors are expected to open at 5pm for the show, and the singer has not had a support act on the tour so far. Following the UK gigs, the singer will move on to Paris, where she will play three nights at the Stade De France, before returning to the US to conclude the tour. Beyonce announced the London dates after finally winning the album of the year Grammy this year for Cowboy Carter, released in March 2024, she also won the best country album Grammy as well as the country duo/group performance award for her song featuring Miley Cyrus, titled II Most Wanted. The singer had previously failed to secure the best album prize with 2008's I Am … Sasha Fierce, 2013's Beyonce, 2016's Lemonade and 2022's Renaissance, and dedicated her win to Linda Martell, who features on the album, who was the first black woman to play the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville. The 67th Grammy Awards, held in February, saw the singer extend her lead as the most decorated artist in the event's history with 35 awards. In March, the King hailed Beyonce as 'exceptional' during his online radio show, The King's Music Room, and congratulated her on her first album of the year Grammy. Beginning her career alongside Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams in Destiny's Child during the 1990s, Beyonce has gone on to have six UK number one singles and five UK number one albums. She married rapper Jay-Z, real name Shawn Carter, in 2008, and the couple have three children – Blue Ivy, Rumi and Sir.
