SZA Hit In Face With Bracelet During Meet And Greet
If you were online in 2022, you might remember the unfortunate trend of people throwing objects at celebrities. It started with Bebe Rexha, when she was hit in the face with a phone at a concert, and continued with celebs like Drake, Lady Gaga, and Harry Styles, with fans throwing everything from drinks and bottles to even random objects like ashes and sex toys.
Well, now it's happened again — and this time, with SZA.
As you know, she's currently on the big Grand National Tour with Kendrick Lamar, and on Tuesday, the show stopped in Phoenix.
She appeared to be hit in the eye, and she immediately turned and walked away without saying a word.
People called out the "hateful" behavior online and warned that that person was going to "ruin it for everyone."
One viewer said, "good for her. it only takes one to ruin it for everyone."Another commented, "smh this is why they make meet and greets $500+ now.""the way this made my blood boil for her," wrote a third, while someone else wondered, " what was the reason 😭 this is why we can't have nice things."
SZA also reacted to the moment, insisting that, despite her seemingly furious reaction, she really was "not mad." "I realized he didn't even know he hit me," she said in a video shared on her IG Story. "So everything was alright. I'm not mad, and I didn't even have a mark. God is good all the time."
Still, act like you guys have some home-training and stop throwing things at celebrities.

Patti LuPone Apology For New Yorker Comments
Hell truly hath frozen over: Patti LuPone is apologizing for something — specifically, her controversial New Yorker profile comments. Brief recap if you need it: In the profile, interviewer Michael Schulman asked Patti about her conflict with Hell's Kitchen star Kecia Lewis. Last year, Kecia shared an "open letter" to Patti on IG accusing her of being "racially microaggressive" in several instances which Patti complained about the volume of Hell's Kitchen performances during her performance in The Roommate, which shared a wall with the Hell's Kitchen theater. Patti's response was, honestly, terrible. "She calls herself a veteran? Let's find out how many Broadway shows Kecia Lewis has done, because she doesn't know what the fuck she's talking about," she said. "She's done seven. I've done 31. Don't call yourself a vet, bitch!" Things got even worse when Michael pointed out to Patti that Broadway legend Audra McDonald had responded supportively to Kecia's IG post. "Exactly," she said. "And I thought, 'You should know better.' That's typical of Audra." Patti went on to say that Audra is "not a friend," and claimed that the conflict between the two goes back a bit. When Michael asked Patti about Audra's recent performance in Gypsy, which gained her a 11th Tony nomination — making her the most nominated performer in the awards' history — Patti reportedly stared in silence for 15 seconds before turning to a nearby window and sighing, "What a beautiful day." Y-I-K-E-S. Patti's behavior offended a lot of people. Yesterday, over 500 Broadway artists signed an open letter calling out the "racialized disrespect" of Patti's comments, and making an open plea for Patti to be disinvited from this year's Tony Awards. Since getting disinvited to a party is a fate worse than death for most famous people, Patti is now taking back her words and actions. "For as long as I have worked in the theatre, I have spoken my mind and never apologized," she said in a statement sent to BuzzFeed. "That is changing today." "I am deeply sorry for the words I used during The New Yorker interview, particularly about Kecia Lewis, which were demeaning and disrespectful. I regret my flippant and emotional responses during this interview, which were inappropriate, and I am devastated that my behavior has offended others and has run counter to what we hold dear in this community. I hope to have the chance to speak to Audra and Kecia personally to offer my sincere apologies." "I wholeheartedly agree with everything that was written in the open letter shared yesterday. From middle school drama clubs to professional stages, theatre has always been about lifting each other up and welcoming those who feel they don't belong anywhere else. I made a mistake, I take full responsibility for it, and I am committed to making this right. Our entire theatre community deserves better." OK then!

Justin Bieber Sells Entire Music Catalog for $200 Million as Financial Woes Push Him to the Brink
Justin Bieber sold his treasured 300-song catalog in a desperate bid to line his empty pockets. Sources say the former teen idol shopped his life's work to Hipgnosis Songs Capital for a reported $200 million in 2022 to keep his head above water. A new documentary charges Justin, 31, was near 'financial collapse,' with one industry insider claiming that despite rolling up between $500 million and a billion dollars during his career, he 'was broke.' 'Selling this catalog was like selling a part of himself,' a source says. 'But given the choices he's made, he had no options.' As the National ENQUIRER has reported, the onetime chart-topping pop icon has reportedly lived like a king, splurging on high-end real estate, elaborate parties and private jets — despite not working in years. His last studio album was 2021's Justice and, before joining SZA for her Grand National Tour concert at SoFi Stadium on May 23, the last time he performed live was in February 2024. Despite that, 'he's blowing through cash like there's no tomorrow,' says an insider. That includes dropping a small fortune on six lavish homes and reportedly splashing out $300,000 at the upscale restaurant Nobu during this year's Coachella music fest. Just as troubling, sources say Justin has alienated himself from his former inner circle — unfollowing his former manager Scooter Braun and his assistant Allison Kaye, who juggled nearly every aspect of his life before quitting in January. The 'Sorry' singer also cut ties with his head of security and road manager, Kenny Hamilton, and longtime pal and head of his fashion brand, Ryan Good, who was the best man at his 2018 wedding to model Hailey Baldwin. 'Justin is managing himself through his own family office now, and there's skepticism on if he can do it alone,' veteran music executive Chris Anokute said. The What Happened to Justin Bieber? documentary claims the star's massive debt hit def-con proportions when he chose to walk away from a reported $90 million payday after abandoning his Justice world tour in 2022. Sources say he canceled the tour to prioritize his health after being diagnosed with type 2 Ramsay Hunt syndrome, a virus that inflames the nerves and causes shingles and chickenpox. In a statement shared on social media at the time, Justin said, 'After getting off stage, the exhaustion overtook me, and I realized that I need to make my health the priority.' 'Justin gave up his songs to save his life,' a source says. 'Now he's working without a net.'
