Beyonce left dangling in the air mid concert as car prop malfunctions
Beyoncé was left dangling midair in a car while performing during the first Houston Cowboy Carter tour stop.
On Saturday, the US singer was catapulted into the air in a red car for the performance of her country hit 16 Carriages.
While the vehicle was supposed to make its way around the venue so fans who don't have floor seats could get a closer look at Beyoncé, the car began leaning to one side and came to a complete stop.
After finishing the first verse of the song, the mother-of-three yelled, 'Stop, stop, stop, stop' as she sat at a standstill above screaming fans below.
Beyonce's car prop malfunctioned during her show.
The singer had to be lowered to safety.
After crew members rushed over, the red car was lowered to the ground and Beyoncé was safely removed.
In true Beyoncé fashion, the pop star walked back over to the stage to finish belting out the song.
After videos of the incident went viral, her entertainment company, Parkwood, took to Instagram to explain what happened.
'Tonight in Houston, at NRG Stadium, a technical mishap caused the flying car, a prop Beyoncé uses to circle the stadium, and see her fans up close, to tilt,' the statement read.
'She was quickly lowered and no one was injured. The show continued without incident.'

Earlier this month, the Grammy winner effortlessly bounced a wardrobe malfunction while kicking off the London leg of her tour.
While performing her 2022 hit I'm That Girl, Beyoncé's metallic fringed chaps fell to the floor mid-dance move.
However, the singer handled it like a pro and slowly slid down to the floor during a music break to pick them back up.
One of her backup dancers then assisted in helping secure the pants so the show could go on.
Beyoncé's Cowboy Carter tour continues for a second night in her hometown on Sunday.

Ryan Seacrest leaves fans worried with ‘frail' appearance: ‘Hope he's doing OK'
A noticeably thinner Ryan Seacrest has worried his fans. The multi-hyphenate, 50, took to Instagram Monday to upload a photo dump documenting his life 'lately.' The nine-slide carousel began with a full-body shot of Seacrest standing on a dock in a lush green field. He wore a beige short-sleeved button-up tucked into matching slacks, accessorising with dressy sneakers and a brown belt. The American Idol host, who sported a 5 o'clock shadow, posed with his hands in his pockets as he looked down. Though he looked stylish, his clothes seemed quite baggy on him. His arms appeared slender and his face gaunt. 'He looks frail to me. I hope he's doing ok!' one of many commenters remarked beneath the post. 'Ryan you're getting too skinny!' someone else added. 'Ryan I adore you, But … the big BUT…….. You are looking too thin. Sometimes being too thin can age a person,' a third observer wrote. 'You need to eat more. Way to think [sic] IMO,' a fourth netizen penned. 'Please tell me your [sic] not on the skinny drugs too, you looked great before!!' someone else commented. 'Looking weak and frail you ok?' another wondered. One person even praised Seacrest's 'love for fitness and eating well' but noted he's 'looking pretty gaunt.' However, a handful of fans slammed the negative reactions. 'I just think it's rude to tell someone they are too skinny. I get told this a lot and I cannot help it with medication I am on. Be positive and encouraging, y'all,' one supporter urged. Another echoed, 'IT IS NOT OK TO COMMENT ON SOMEONES BODY. Period. Just because he is a man/celebrity. THIS IS HIS PERSONAL ACCOUNT. He is a real human who has feelings and ages and CHANGES. Your concern for him is laced in judgment and is just plain rude. … Would you say these things to his face? Then don't say them here.' The rest of the pictures showed the Wheel of Fortune host posing with home-cooked meals, working out and spending time in nature. While reps for Seacrest did not immediately respond to Page Six's request for comment, a source close to the star explained to us, 'Ryan has recently been doing a new workout routine — working out with a new trainer, Dodd Romero, combined with Pilates and yoga for the first time. That's created a visible change.' Our source added, 'He's also been enjoying vacation time this summer and eating lots of pasta.'

Jelena Dokic looks slimmer than ever at Wimbledon after the tennis great revealed she 'halved' dress size
Jelena Dokic has stunned fans with a photo of herself looking slimmer than ever before at the iconic Wimbledon tennis tournament. The retired tennis star is currently serving as part of Nine's commentary team for the tournament, the same event where she advanced to the semifinals in 2000 aged 16. Dokic, 42, took to Instagram Stories on Tuesday to post a stunning photo of herself inside the commentator's booth at the famous two-week event. She flashed her signature mega-watt smile at the camera in the snap, with her pinstripe trousers and burgundy blouse accentuating her figure. Dokic looked confident as she posed with one hand on her hip, wearing glamorous makeup and her hair styled in loose waves. "Ready for Wimbledon," she wrote in the caption. "And, like always, so is the whole styling and hair and makeup team. "Wouldn't be able to do anything without them all." Fans of the tennis great flooded the comments praising the star, with many people pointing out how much Dokic's Wimbledon look suited her. "Burgundy really suits you, Jelena," one person said. "Looking amazing. That colour so suits you. But the best beauty here is your confidence shining through," another person said. "Lovely outfit Jelena, enjoy your time commentating at Wimbledon," a third person said. One more fan said Dokic had a "beautiful glow" in her latest photo, while another person said the media figure is a "wonderful role model". The retired tennis great has publicly chronicled her weight loss journey after shedding about 20 kilos through diet and lifestyle changes. However, commentators have expressed doubts about her weight loss amid the rise of injectable GLP-1 medications like Ozempic. Dokic recently shared a remarkable comparison of herself before and after her transformation on Instagram, where she addressed more claims she has 'abandoned plus-sized people' after halving her dress size. 'When I was a size 20, someone always complained, and now that I am a size 10, someone is always complaining too,' she wrote in the caption. 'It's now bad that I am healthier and lost some weight, and I have abandoned standing up for plus-size people." Dokic's glowing Wimbledon appearance comes after she shared a telling post hinting that the retired tennis star has found love, just weeks after she was spotted cosying up with a mystery man at Melbourne Airport. "May you attract someone who treats you like they've been waiting their whole life to find you," read a post Dokic shared on Instagram last month. She said she "absolutely" agreed with another post, which spoke about "redefining what love looks like", and it's not "roses or expensive gifts". Dokic looked visibly elated as she touched down at Melbourne Airport in May. It's there she embraced an unknown man who was seen eagerly awaiting her arrival inside the terminal. In footage obtained by Dokic could be seen running her fingers along the side of the man's torso. The pair then walked out into the pickup zone of the airport. Dokic split from her previous partner, Brazilian-born Tin Bukic, in late 2022 after an almost two-decade-long relationship. She recently opened up on the Mental As Anyone podcast about how the demise of her relationship jeopardised her plans to start a family. 'I was in a relationship for almost 19 years from the age of 20, and right when we split up, we were about to start trying for a family,' Jelena said. 'I actually think I would be a good mum, to be honest; I love kids.' Dokic revealed she was now planning to start a family as a 'single parent' and was open to exploring adoption. 'It is something I would like to do because I love kids,' she said. 'I didn't have the best experience (but) if I was, let's say, a single mum and adopted one day, it would have all the love in the world.' The former Wimbledon semi-finalist was born in 1983 in the former communist state Yugoslavia before resettling in Serbia and then arriving in Australia as a refugee in 1994. Dokic in 2009 enjoyed an unforgettable run at the Australian Open after entering as a wildcard and ultimately advancing to the quarter-finals. She retired from the sport in 2014 and turned to commentating tennis, a role for which she is highly sought after. Dokic revealed the harrowing family violence she suffered at the hands of her estranged father and coach Damir Dokic in her memoir Unbreakable. She has claimed her father has never apologised for his alleged verbal, emotional and physical abuse.

'I don't get it': Eternally youthful Getaway host Catriona Rowntree, 53, reveals her major problem with Paris
Catriona Rowntree has taken aim at one of Paris's most enduring quirks- its notoriously small hotel lifts. The Getaway host, who's spent nearly three decades travelling the globe for the long-running Nine Network series, voiced her frustration on Instagram while in the French capital. "Another European lift. I don't get it?" the 53-year-old mother of two said in a video shared to her Instagram stories on Tuesday. "How does anyone fit a suitcase and human in here. Does that make me crazy?" The veteran TV host isn't new to the lift dilemma, either. Just days earlier, Rowntree shared a reel titled "dumb things I've done in Paris" which included a video of her sending her suitcase up the lift on its own because there wasn't enough room for her to fit alongside it. "My suitcase barely fits in the lift," she said. "Have to send it on its own. Shameless overpacker!" She followed the post with a photo of her large red hardshell suitcase crammed inside a tiny lift with the caption: "Learn from my mistakes!" Her relatable gripe struck a chord with fans. "Been there!! Stay strong," one follower commented. Another added: "Oh oui!!!! I've done the exact same thing and somehow I don't learn!" Rowntree, who has been in France filming new Getaway segments since mid-June, has also shared other moments from her Parisian adventure, including a star sighting. "So, I'm just enjoying the Parisian view when this happens…," she captioned a clip filmed while dining at Le Sevre Raspail, as French film icon Isabelle Huppert casually walked past. "French cinematic royalty strolls by. IYKYK (If you know you know)." On Monday night, she also posted a dreamy video of a hot air balloon floating above Paris around 10:30pm, referencing a decision by French President Emmanuel Macron to keep the 2024 Olympic Cauldron-inspired balloon on display until 2028. "Prepare to be shocked, sometimes a politician does actually listen to the locals and responds accordingly!" she wrote. "When @emmanuelmacron saw how much people loved the Olympic Cauldron/ballon, he said 'non, don't pack it away!' (Or words to that effect) and it will continue the positive spirit of the games, staying until 2028, re-engineered to increase its staying power and an absolute win for tourism!" She later added: "I really shoulda made this reel longer, but I hope you get the point…it's gorgeous!" Born in Sydney, Rowntree began her media career in radio in 1991 as a newsreader and lifestyle presenter, including a stint on Triple J. She later joined the Nine Network as a researcher on the children's show Wonder World!, becoming a reporter in 1993 and host the following year. In 1996, she scored her dream job on Getaway, where she has remained a staple on the series ever since. While her career is defined by international travel, Rowntree enjoys downtime at home on a farm in rural Victoria with her husband, farmer James Pettit, and their two sons, Andrew and Charles.
