Beyoncé gives special shout-out during second Chicago show: ‘We got Shaboozey in the house'
Beyoncé Knowles-Carter has yet to perform onstage with her "Cowboy Carter" collaborators during the tour, but one in particular showed up to her show in Chicago. And she made sure to give him a special shout-out.
Beyoncé took the stage at Solider Field for her second concert in the Windy City on May 17. During her performance, she told fans there was a special guest in the building.
"We got Shaboozey in the house tonight," she said. And the Nigerian-American artist was sure to confirm this, posting the stadium to his Instagram story during the show. Born as Collins Chibueze, Shaboozey is featured on her songs "Spaghettii" and "Sweet Honey Buckiin'" from the eight studio album.
While she was handing out thank-yous toward the end of the show, she once again expressed her appreciation for the "Tipsy" singer, saying, "once again thank you to Shaboozey for being here tonight." Fans will remember, Beyoncé performed with Shaboozey during the NFL halftime performance on Christmas Day. Some of her other featured guests and collaborators included Post Malone, Tiera Kennedy, Brittney Spencer, Tanner Adell and Reyna Roberts.
The Grammy-winning singer will perform her "Cowboy Carter" tour at Soldier Field for a total of three nights. The last concert in Chi-town is set for May 18 on the same stage.
Of course, Beyoncé first debuted the highly anticipated show at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles on April 28 with 39 songs on the set list. She performed a total of five shows there, and the concerts proved to be revolutionary spectacle filled with fashion, different music genres and most notably country music and politics.
The nine-city tour will span the U.S. and Europe with the grand finale taking place in Las Vegas on July 26. Beyoncé has already made history with her scheduled tour dates, including by playing the most dates at SoFi Stadium of any artist.

Mr. Capra's Wonderful Life: An Immigration and Love Story for the Ages
It's story for the ages. The man who brought iconic classics to the big screen, including his three Academy Award winners—It Happened One Night, Mr. Deeds Goes to Town and You Can't Take It With You—has a life story that's as remarkable as any movie he ever made, including Mr. Smith Goes to Washington and his 1946 classic It's a Wonderful Life. Frank Capra's origin story is itself a classic American story. And a classic love story, too. Not just his love of people and the medium he would come to master—film—but his love of America. His love of the country that adopted him. Indeed, Capra so loved his country that he served, at the height of his career, directly under Chief of Staff General George Marshall (the most senior officer commanding the U.S. Army) to help bring to life the seven-episode documentary series Why We Fight during World War II. The films were commissioned by our government to boost the morale of Americans in the fight overseas. And millions of Americans at home. One film in the series—Prelude to War—won the 1942 Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature. By 1945, the year Capra was discharged as a colonel, 54 million Americans had seen the films. Capra, for his service to his country, was awarded the Legion of Merit and Distinguished Service medals. Director Frank Capra smiles as he holds the Life Achievement Award he was presented by the American film Institute during the Tenth Annual American Film Institute's Life Achievement Award Dinner at the Beverly Hilton Hotel... Director Frank Capra smiles as he holds the Life Achievement Award he was presented by the American film Institute during the Tenth Annual American Film Institute's Life Achievement Award Dinner at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Los Angeles on March 5, 1982. More AP Photo/Nick Ut Francesco Rosario Capra's love affair with America began not too many years after he was born in 1897 in Palermo, Sicily. Capra was named for his grandfather, who had built and designed churches for a living. The youngest of seven children, his parents—Roman Catholics both—immigrated to the United States in 1903, ending up in Los Angeles. Like millions of immigrants before and after, the Capras didn't come here to change America: They came to have America change them. And change the Capras lives for the better America did. How much did Capra love his country? In 1982, while being honored in Los Angeles by the American Film Institute (AFI) with the Lifetime Achievement Award, Capra seized the opportunity to thank the American people—and America itself—for the opportunities and freedom his adopted country afforded him. In a speech in front of the titans of the movie industry, Capra started by thanking the many people who guided him along the way—great writers, actors and executives alike. He then explained the secret to his success as a storyteller. "The art of Frank Capra is very, very simple," he said. "It's the love of people, and add two simple ideals to this love of people—the freedom of each individual and the equal importance of each individual—and you have the principle upon which I based all my films." This was not mere sentiment Capra was expressing, and he knew more than most how to summon sentiment in his storytelling. Those words sprang from a deeper well: from his Catholic worldview, and the ideals, and governing principles, of the country he loved. But Capra wasn't finished, saving the best part of his speech—and the most personal part of his speech—for last. It started humbly and evocatively. "An occasion like this, when we all get together to pay homage to our craft, forces me to think, 'How the hell did I get up here?'" Capra said, followed by laughter from the crowd. Capra continued: "Nearly 79 years ago, I celebrated my sixth birthday in the black dark hole in a creaking ship, crammed with retching, praying, terrorized immigrants. Thirteen days of misery, and then the ship stopped. And my father grabbed me and carried me up the steep iron stairs to the deck and then he shouted, 'Chico, look at that!' At first, all I saw was a deck full of people crying on their knees, crying and rejoicing. My father cried, 'That's the greatest light since the Star of Bethlehem.' I looked up, and there was a statue of a great lady [Statue of Liberty]. Taller than a church steeple, holding a lamp over the land we were about to enter. And my father said, 'It's the light of freedom, Chico. Freedom.'" The audience was mesmerized as Capra recounted this pivotal moment in the life of his family in vivid detail, putting the audience on that ship as only a master storyteller can do. Capra continued, with stars like Bob Hope and Bette Davis on the edge of their seats, and the edge of tears. Capra closed things out looking up to the heavens to address his deceased family members, and this time, it was Capra himself who was on the edge of tears: "So, finally, there is something I must say to some other members of my family, and I believe they will hear me. Mama, Papa, big brother Ben, Josephine, Tony, little sister Ann, remember the day we arrived at the Southern Pacific Station here in Los Angeles, and Papa and Mama kissed the ground? Look, the American Film Institute has given me their Lifetime Achievement Award, and for that, I am thanking them and all my friends who've come here. But for America—just for living here—I kiss the ground." When Capra received his AFI award, President Ronald Reagan said: "You have recognized and helped us recognize all that is wonderful about the American character." Capra's films also helped us recognize the character of Jesus. "Movies should be a positive expression that there is hope, love, mercy, justice and charity," he said in a 1960 interview. "A filmmaker has the unrestricted privilege of haranguing an audience for two-hour stretches—the chance to influence public thinking for good or for evil. It is, therefore, his responsibility to emphasize the positive qualities of humanity by showing the triumph of the individual over adversities." Capra died peacefully in his sleep at his home in La Quinta, California, in 1991 at age 94 in the country he loved, surrounded by the people he loved. And the God he loved, too. They say that art mirrors life, but life sometimes mirrors art. That at least was Capra's hope. The headline to his New York Times obituary said it best: Frank Capra, Whose Films Helped America Keep Faith in Itself, Is Dead at 94.

Zhu Yilong, Ni Ni on ‘Dongji Rescue' WWII Maritime Epic: ‘Humanism Doesn't Recognize National Boundaries'
Zhu Yilong trained extensively in free diving. Ni Ni built up her physique to look like a 1940s fisherwoman. And for co-director Fei Zhenxiang, the underwater epic about one of WWII's most harrowing rescue missions meant working in complete collaboration with his mentor. 'Dongji Rescue' dramatizes the real-life Lisbon Maru incident of October 1942, when Chinese fishermen rescued over 384 British prisoners of war after their transport ship was accidentally torpedoed by an American submarine. Co-directed by Cannes winner Guan Hu ('Black Dog,' 'The Eight Hundred') and Fei Zhenxiang, the film tells their story of rescue against the backdrop of wartime occupation. More from Variety China Box Office: 'Nobody' Climbs to No. 1 as Jackie Chan's 'The Shadow's Edge' Opens China Box Office: 'Dead to Rights' Stays No. 1, 'Dongji Rescue' Bows in Third 'Dongji Rescue' Star Kevin Lee on Playing a War Hero After a Decade as Chinese Cinema's Go-To Bad Guy: 'I'm Ready for More Than Just the Villain Role' Co-director Fei Zhenxiang explains the creative partnership with his collaborator. 'We have a teacher-student relationship — what Chinese people call 'master and apprentice.' So in creating the script, including filming and everything else, it was all completed together,' Fei says. This collaborative approach extends to the film's central challenge: balancing spectacular maritime action with intimate human drama. 'Because this is based on a real historical event, the event itself involved people against the sea, against heaven and earth,' Fei explains. 'So the story itself possesses this possibility of combining them together, because it flows naturally.' Lead actor Zhu Yilong, known for performances in Cannes selection 'Only the River Flows' and 'Lost in the Stars,' details the extensive preparation required for his role as fisherman Ah Bi. 'First, in terms of skills, we did thorough preparation beforehand, training in diving and free diving, and constantly matching the intensity of the entire filming process in terms of physical fitness,' he says. The psychological preparation proved equally demanding. 'Because this is based on a real historical event, before filming we looked at a lot of materials, then had extensive communication with the directors. The entire film crew also gave us a very good on-location filming environment. What we needed to do was make all preparations, then relax, and after entering the real environment, express all the real emotions we felt,' Zhu adds. When asked about how his previous internationally recognized work influences his role choices, Zhu emphasizes character-driven selection: 'I've always chosen works focusing on characters. For me, characters that can resonate with me, that I can feel have a real sense of existence, including their richness and character arc — if I can resonate with them, I will choose them.' The production faced significant technical challenges, with underwater sequences comprising over 40% of the runtime. The Imax format film utilized robotics for subsurface filming and demanded extensive breath-holding performances from cast members, with full-scale ship recreations constructed on location at Dongji Island. Ni Ni, who stars alongside Zhu as another island resident, Ah Hua, describes her comprehensive approach to embodying a 1940s fisherwoman. 'First, to get close to this character, I had to work out, because this fisherwoman's image requires a strong physique and a skin tone more suitable for that period,' she explains. The preparation extended beyond physical transformation. 'We would look up a lot of materials and pictures online, then watch documentaries. When the director brought all of us actors together on an island, we got to know each other, put on costumes and dressed up as fishermen, entered into the characters. We stood on the mountaintop and felt the resonance this island brought us,' she adds. Despite her diverse filmography spanning different eras and genres, Ni Ni finds common threads in her characters. 'Although they exist in different times or have different personalities, I think the essence is the same because they're all human. How we perceive the world, how we feel joy, anger, sorrow and happiness, how we feel the changes our surrounding environment brings to ourselves — it's all similar.' As the film prepares for its European release, with a London premiere that took place Aug. 15 marking the 80th anniversary of VJ Day, the cast emphasizes the story's universal appeal. 'What we want to convey to all audiences around the world in our film is humanism — it doesn't recognize national boundaries,' Zhu Yilong states. 'Conscience is humanity's final bottom line.' Ni Ni expands on the humanitarian themes: 'No matter what era we're in, we must revere and respect life — every life. This life doesn't recognize national boundaries or any gender. We must revere, cherish, and respect life, and we must also cherish peace.' Producer Liang Jing explains the timing and epic scale of the production: 'The scale exists because the filming difficulty is genuinely that challenging — it's not scale for scale's sake. This is a story between people. In terms of timing, it definitely has historical significance because Aug. 15 is the 80th anniversary of the victory against fascism worldwide, so its release in the U.K. is very meaningful.' 'Dongji Rescue' premieres in U.K. and Irish cinemas Aug. 22, with other European territories following from Aug. 29, distributed by Trinity CineAsia in partnership with Seventh Art Pictures. The film released in China Aug. 8. Best of Variety New Movies Out Now in Theaters: What to See This Week What's Coming to Disney+ in August 2025 What's Coming to Netflix in August 2025

Would you want Jerry Jones to own your football team?
Next time you have a chance to talk to your NFL team's owner, pose them this question: Would you want to win a Super Bowl if it meant you could never speak on a microphone again? Thirty-one of the NFL's owners (and ownership groups) would take that deal in a heartbeat. One wouldn't, under any circumstances. And you already know who that one is. Jerry Jones requires no introduction, mainly because he's spent the last four decades making damn sure you know who he is. Jones stars this week in a new Netflix series — 'America's Team: The Gambler and His Cowboys' — and puts himself front and center every news cycle in his longstanding role as owner and emperor of the Dallas Cowboys. [Join or create a Yahoo Fantasy Football league for the 2025 NFL season] Jones relishes his 'gambler' persona, ladling on the mythmaking and the tall tales until it's impossible to tell what's fact and what's hyperbole. Where does the cow end and the cow pies begin? At this point, even Jones himself probably doesn't know. What's indisputable is this: the Arkansas oilman has turned two all-in wagers into galactic-class payoffs. And he now presides over the most valuable brand in American sports, and one of the most recognizable on the planet. Seasons come and seasons go — 29 of them now without a Dallas title — but the Cowboys' aura glows brighter with every passing one. If all you're focused on with Jones and the Cowboys is the on-field results, you're missing the bigger picture here. Which, as every veteran poker player knows, is how you eventually get cleaned out. 'America's Team' is, in so many ways, the embodiment of Jones' outsize ego and persona. The eight-part documentary begins with the vibe of a Taylor Sheridan series like 'Yellowstone' and 'Landman' — sweeping billionaire's-eye views from the window of a helicopter. Jones craftily recounts his early days as an Arkansas oilman — 'I was really good at drilling oil wells, and I was really good at borrowing money' — and uses his first big gamble as a pretext to his most important one. According to the biography — or the myth, take your pick — Jones, as a young oilman from Arkansas, spent $800,000 on a well that returned $100 million, a payoff he now says saved him from ruin. The parallel to his purchase of the Cowboys is obvious: the 'country bumpkin' turned a $150 million purchase of the Cowboys into an investment now valued at almost $13 billion. The important element to remember about Jones is that he hasn't really 'gambled' with the Cowboys in any real sense since he orchestrated a surge from an initial 1-15 season to three Super Bowl titles in the 1990s. Those early days were treacherous, true, and Jimmy Johnson deserves at least as much credit as Jones for building the Cowboys into world-beaters. But since then, Jones has engaged not in gambling, but in investment protection. Jones' early stroke of genius was to build the Cowboys into Greek gods, men so dedicated to greatness that they risked concussions for first downs (Michael Irvin) or divorced their wives (Johnson). Troy Aikman, Emmitt Smith, Deion Sanders … these were the giants of the 1990s NFL, and Jones made sure he was always standing right alongside them. Off the field, Jones turned the Cowboys into a behemoth, striking brand and licensing arrangements that ensured Dallas was always in the conversation every time the NFL was. He ensured that there were no mild feelings about Dallas, and that's why you've seen the Cowboys dominating prime time even when they were struggling to break .500. He embodied the old rule of PR: it doesn't matter what they're saying about you, as long as they're talking about you. As time has gone on, the gambler has protected his stack, opting for retread or vanilla or unproven coaches and drafting talent that hasn't delivered on the biggest stages since before Tiger Woods had won a single professional tournament. The hard numbers remain almost unbelievable in their futility: Dallas has won just five playoff games since their last Super Bowl victory in 1996, haven't even reached a conference championship in that near 30-year span. (Put another way: Josh Allen wasn't even born the last time the Cowboys won a Super Bowl.) So with all that in mind — the cinematic gambling, the long-ago greatness, the desert of futility — it's worth asking whether Jones really is a good owner or not. More to the point: Would you want him owning your team? That depends on whether you value the Cowboys as a team or as an institution. By the first standard, Jones is coasting on past glories. By the second, he's a world-class visionary. If you want to ride on the NFL's largest bandwagon 365 days a year, Jones is your man. But if you want to celebrate wins after the New Year, well … maybe not. As a contrast, consider the case of Jones' fellow billionaire Stan Kroenke, who like Jones swept in and bought a legacy franchise, and like Jones, enraged longtime fans. (Jones only fired a legend in Tom Landry; Kroenke moved the team out of town entirely.) Kroenke is virtually invisible, but he's put football minds in decisionmaking roles, and as a result his Rams have four division championships, two Super Bowl appearances and one title since Kroenke bought the team in 2010. Jones has insisted that he's a winner for so long, and for so many years, that he's cloaked himself in an aura of glory that no other franchise with his woeful on-field record can match. (Since 1996, the Jaguars, Panthers and Titans have all advanced farther in the playoffs than Dallas, whose winning percentage over the last 29 seasons is sandwiched between the Vikings and Saints.) Perhaps the fact that Kroenke has built the Rams into the second-most-valuable franchise in the NFL will spur Jones. Perhaps Jones will point to the fact that there's still $2.5 billion between his franchise and Kroenke's. And perhaps Jones is evidence of the fact that there's a wide gap between 'gamble' and 'guarantee.' Every gambler's big win is someone else's big loss. Cold streaks always come around …and sometimes they can last for decades.
