Keke Palmer Saves Tina Knowles From A Wardrobe Malfunction
Keke Palmer is a true girl's girl. The veteran actress moderated the Los Angeles stop of Tina Knowles' Matriarch book tour and saved the 71-year-old from a wardrobe malfunction.
Footage of the incident surfaced on TikTok. Before Palmer sat down with Mama Tina, she addressed the apparent elephant in the room. 'They were acting like it was a whole murder show,' the 31-year-old quipped, complete with a full body reaction. 'I thought it was serious. The teleprompter started typing, 'We need something.' The hell do y'all mean? They went in for no reason. Glad that's over. They was gon' give me a heart attack,' Palmer joked.
The audience erupted in laughter as the situation subsided. In her professional tone, once things died down, Palmer snapped into action. 'Whew! Now, back to the book,' she declared before getting into a question about the memoir's title.
Knowles shared that she named her book Matriarch because, 'it's about generations of matriarchs.' Jennifer Hudson was also a special guest during the L.A. stop of the book tour. She serenaded the newly-minted New York Times bestselling author with a cover of 'The Impossible Dream.'
Beyoncé celebrated her mother's feat during the second night of the Cowboy Carter tour and surprised her the evening of the book tour.
Per the official synopsis, ''Matriarch' begins with a precocious, if unruly, little girl growing up in 1950s Galveston, the youngest of seven. She is in love with her world, with extended family on every other porch and the sounds of Motown and the lapping beach always within earshot. But as the realities of race and the limitations of girlhood set in, she begins to dream of the world beyond. Her instincts and impulsive nature drive her far beyond the shores of Texas to discover the life awaiting her on the other side of childhood.'
It continues, 'That life's journey—through grief and tragedy, creative and romantic risks and turmoil, the nurturing of superstar offspring and of her own special gifts—is the remarkable story she shares with readers here. This is a page-turning chronicle of family love and heartbreak, of loss and perseverance, and of the kind of creativity, audacity, and will it takes for a girl from Galveston to change the world. It's one brilliant woman's intimate and revealing story, and a multigenerational family saga that carries within it the story of America—and the wisdom that women pass on to each other, mothers to daughters, across generations.'
Matriarch is available wherever books are sold.

Chilled Cole Palmer ready to play ‘wherever' and win spot in England XI
Things that Cole Palmer is not bothered about – part 89. Golf. Which is a pity as he is spending a warm-weather training week with England at the magnificent Camiral Golf & Wellness resort; the expected venue for the 2031 Ryder Cup. Formula One. Palmer attended the Barcelona grand prix on Sunday with Thomas Tuchel and the rest of the England squad, which he thought was good. 'I went to the one in Abu Dhabi not long ago,' he says, presumably meaning the race in Bahrain or Saudi Arabia. Who knows, who cares? 'But I fell asleep at that one.' Advertisement Related: Eberechi Eze on his bike as England's World Cup 2026 preparations heat up The searing heat in the United States, which Palmer will experience with Chelsea in the coming weeks at the Club World Cup. And then again next summer if and when England qualify for the World Cup, which is also being hosted by Canada and Mexico. 'It will play a part because I'm not used to it, but I don't think it will be a big problem,' he says. Oh, and southerners. Manchester's finest made a comment last summer about how he was finding them hard work after his first season at Chelsea. Has he come to terms with them now? 'No, they're all still moody,' he says. 'I think because it's so busy, they're all stressed. It must be a southern thing. I don't live in central London. Sometimes I go in but I couldn't live there.' If Palmer is a unique talent on the pitch, he is unique to interview, as well. Short shrift is his default setting; plenty of his answers are monosyllabic, some just a sound – hmmm. A shrug. It is impossible to ignore the quintessentially Manc vibe. Advertisement Palmer has a deadpan expression which wonders: 'Why are you asking me that?' Example: how is he spending his downtime at the Camiral? 'Play PlayStation … Fifa,' he replies. Like, seriously? As on the pitch, Palmer is cool, cold. He is highly entertaining. When was the last time Palmer was angry? 'Errr,' he says, after a typically long pause. 'I don't really know. Maybe when I'm playing PlayStation. I'm not just a robot like you guys in the media think I am … and don't show no emotion. Obviously when there's no cameras and I'm on the phone to my mates and I'm doing stuff I enjoy doing …' Palmer is asked where his temperament comes from. 'Maybe my dad,' he says. 'He's laidback like me. My mum says: 'Try and be a bit more involved and a bit more smiley and energetic.' Maybe she's like that but me and my dad are just too laidback, I think.' And yet nobody in the room at the Camiral, which is dominated by a beautiful Jack Nicklaus watercolour, can fail to be assaulted by Palmer's single-mindedness; the steel and hunger. It is there when he talks about Chelsea, how they proved the doubters wrong in the closing weeks of the domestic season to secure a return to the Champions League, sewing up qualification with the final-day victory at Nottingham Forest. Advertisement 'Because we had that little spell where we weren't too great … everyone was saying: 'They're not going to get Champions League,'' Palmer says. 'So to get it was good. We finished well. When we got it at Forest, it was like a relief.' Palmer has a Champions League winners' medal from 2022-23 with Manchester City, although he was an unused substitute in the final against Inter; indeed, he did not get off the bench in any of the knockout rounds. He has only made one start in the competition – in City's dead-rubber final group tie that season against Sevilla. This time, with Palmer having turbocharged his profile and influence, it stands to be different. 'I always say that I don't feel like a Champions League winner,' Palmer says. 'It doesn't really mean anything to me. When people say it … yeah, but I didn't play, I wasn't involved. Obviously I played in the group and stuff like that but it's not the same, is it? I've still got the medal, I've not thrown it away. But it's not like I feel like I've won it.' Palmer's focus is on England. Having missed Tuchel's first camp in March because of injury, he is determined to impress in Saturday's World Cup qualifier against Andorra in Barcelona. There is then the friendly against Senegal in Nottingham next Tuesday. Advertisement The issue for Tuchel is how best to accommodate Palmer when he also has Jude Bellingham and Phil Foden. It is the same issue that his predecessor Gareth Southgate faced; ditto Lee Carsley, who was in interim charge before Tuchel took over. Southgate never started Palmer in a competitive game. He used him exclusively off the bench at Euro 2024 where the 23-year-old came on to score the equaliser in the final against Spain, a game that England would lose 2-1. Palmer has 11 caps to date; four as a starter. Foden has missed out on this camp because of injury. 'It's play well at my club … hopefully people can see it and I can turn into a starter for England,' Palmer says. 'Last season I played all wide [in midfield] and this season I've moved [more centrally]. Wherever he [Tuchel] puts me, I'll play.' Palmer's goal against Spain was the perfect illustration of his ability to live in the moment and seize it, oblivious to the pressure. It was a similar story in Chelsea's Conference League final win over Real Betis last week, albeit the stakes were not as high. One-nil down, Palmer said he was 'sick of going backwards and sideways'. So he trusted his skill, ran at Betis and made it happen with the assists for 2-1. Chelsea won 4-1. Advertisement Palmer is back on the up after an unfathomable dry spell from mid-January when he went 18 matches without a goal. The run ended with the penalty against Liverpool in the fourth-last game of the Premier Leagueseason. He finished with 15 goals and 12 assists in all competitions. 'Things weren't happening for me and it went on a bit longer than I thought it would,' Palmer says. 'But I spoke to people about it and they explained it's going to happen. They said that when I get out of it, I'll be an even better player. When you go to Chelsea and you jump up and then you go into a dip, you think: 'What's going on?' But I didn't mind …' Palmer catches himself, and there is a rare line from him before he remembers who he is. 'Well, obviously, I did mind,' he says. 'But I didn't think: 'Ah, this is the end of the world.''

Miley Cyrus Made a Playful Dig at Liam Hemsworth During an Album Signing
Something Beautiful is officially upon us, and Miley Cyrus is celebrating her new album by sharing the love with fans. After Miley dropped the project on Friday, she held an intimate performance and album signing at Rough Trade in New York City on June 4—and made a subtle dig at her ex, Liam Hemsworth, in the process. As she signed Smilers' albums and other memorabilia, she left a specific note for a fan named Liam along with her signature. Per his social post, she wrote, 'The best Liam,' and he posted another photo with the 'Easy Lover' singer with the caption, 'Me when I'm the best Liam.' And her? She's just being Miley. This isn't Miley's first intimate event to celebrate Something Beautiful. Ahead of its release, she hosted a Q&A with TikTok and sang pared-back versions of tracks off the album at L.A.'s famous Chateau Marmont on May 27. Earlier in the month, she teamed up with Spotify to host day-1 supporters and press for an advanced screening of the album's pop-opera film at New York City's Metrograph theater. While the film won't be released in theaters until June 12 and June 27, she opened up about what the album means to her during a Q&A with Matt Peterson, a lifelong fan who asked her to prom in 2013. 'There's such a spectrum of beauty, and some of it incorporates heartbreak and loss, or death or pain—but sometimes it's flowers and rainbows and new love. There's always something to look forward to,' Miley shared at the time before gushing about her fans. 'I'm also gagged by this movie. Any chance that I have, like everything, I make it for both of us. I make it for me to love it and for you to love it. There's no one else that really matters,' she said. Now, if you'll excuse me, it's time to throw on this banger and marvel at Miley's archival Mugler look, just because we can:

UFC 316 preview roundtable: If Sean O'Malley loses again to Merab Dvalishvili, is this the end?
It's a bantamweight showcase as the UFC heads back to New Jersey this weekend, with titles on the line in both the men's and women's 135-pound divisions. On the men's side it's a rematch, as 'Suga' Sean O'Malley tries to win back the title he lost at UFC 306 in September against Merab Dvalishvili. On the women's side, it's the ushering in of a new era, as Kayla Harrison — the Olympic judoka who has made it her mission to win a UFC title — arrives as a massive favorite to overthrow Julianna Peña. Or is it the dawn of a new era? Advertisement Let's jump right in with five burning questions heading into UFC 316. 1. Sean O'Malley gave up his favorite pastimes — marijuana, social media, masturbation — to better focus for this rematch. He's all in! Is this the end of the 'Suga Show' if he loses? Petesy Carroll: It would be the end of me full-stop, man. I'm kind of perplexed by it all. Certainly, two of these three things were foundational elements of the 'Suga' brand and then to add to that there's the abstaining from social media … I'm kidding. Well, kind of, is O'Malley getting into golf now or what's he doing to fill the void? Is he crocheting? Did he get a New York Times subscription and start playing Sudoku? Feels like he's treating this like a do-or-die fight. That said if he loses, I expect him to move up to featherweight and return to his old puffing, typing and … well you get the point, he'd start doing all of those things again, right? Chuck Mindenhall: Doesn't it feel 'Suga' Sean is forever, like, 26 years old? It's odd that he's now 30, which is right around that age when we like to say a fighter is 'peaking.' If he can clear the Merab hurdle, I think he'd skyrocket back into that star area he was in before being humbled at the Sphere, with all those vices he's sacrificing for this fight once again at the core of his being. Advertisement I also think he moves up to featherweight if he loses, as being behind the Merab eight-ball is a nihilistic situation. With guys like O'Malley, there are still plenty of options ahead, all of which I am sure he'd just assume avoid. What becomes of "Suga" Sean O'Malley should he lose again to Merab Dvalishvili? (Photo by Chris Unger/Zuffa LLC) (Chris Unger via Getty Images) 2. Are you disturbed by the lack of heat for this rematch? Merab and O'Malley have been so respectful in the lead-up, haven't they? Chuck: The last time through was different, as O'Malley was holding the title and treating Merab like a nuisance to be dealt with … and we all knew he was much more than a nuisance. All the shots they were taking at each other felt more playful than anything else, strictly for entertainment purposes. I didn't sense a lot of genuine heat, outside of Tim Welch's contributions to the mix. Advertisement This time through it has been very quiet. Not just with the principals in play, but in general. I haven't heard anybody outside of the MMA spectrum mention that O'Malley is fighting this weekend, which is startling, no? Petesy: Let's be honest, 'Lack of Heat' could be title of a Netflix documentary about UFC's start to 2025. I don't know if it's anything to do with the switch up in dynamic between the lads as much as it's just fan fatigue at this point. Being a UFC fan in 2025 is like being in a semi-serious relationship. You're expected to give up a day of your life every week regardless of the stakes, intrigue or ability on display on these cards. When a genuinely good one comes along like this, I think it's just difficult for everyone to switch into the 'excitement' gear. I do think it's a really good card, but I can't remember the last time we were all frothing at the mouth for a UFC pay-per-view. It certainly hasn't been over the five months, and that's pretty sad. All in all, I guess it's that situation that I find more disturbing than anything else but replies on X would have me believe I'm a jaded old fool and I need to lose some weight, but that's beside the point. 3. What is Julianna Peña's path to victory over the massive favorite, Kayla Harrison? Petesy: I won't let Julianna Peña's disrespect of my nationality or her claims that I want to be pegged by Kayla Harrison color my opinion on this one, Chuck. But, let it be known that a lesser man would. Why would she makes such claims, you ask? Well, it's because I'm the only one on the entire hosting staff of "The Ariel Helwani Show" that picked — *checks notes* — the biggest betting favorite a challenger has ever been in the history of UFC, in this case Harrison, to have her hand raised on Saturday night. Advertisement Be that as it may, I think Peña can absolutely get the job done. We've witnessed her shock the world before against Amanda Nunes and if she can keep this fight standing and keep her lead hand in Harrison's face, the Olympic gold medalist might be left with a lot to do by the time the championship rounds kick in. Let the record show that I don't think that will happen, though. Chuck: Julianna really said all that? About the pegging? Damn, I must've missed that segment. One of the reasons she has been a two-time champion in this sport is because she takes little sleights like that and packs it into her resolve. Nobody carries a chip like the "Venezuelan Vixen," Petesy, and I admire that you stuck to your guns on this. My thing with Harrison is the same as always. How much will that weight cut take out of her in the end? She has now been living on a restrictive diet for well over a year and getting down to 135 pounds is a recurring hell. One of these times it will come back to bite her, and we'll hear about it afterward. Will that be this time? Advertisement I think Harrison will win this fight, because I think she'll get it to the ground and do work there. Yet, I will say Peña is a live dog. We saw Ketlen Vieira survive to see the scorecards with Harrison, which made her seem … less inevitable. If she can't get the fight where she wants it? Things might get interesting in a hurry.

(Photo by Matt Davies/PxImages/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images) (Icon Sportswire via Getty Images) 4. Of all the Bellator fighters who've come over to UFC, where do you rank Patchy Mix ahead of his fight with Mario Bautista? Chuck: We've seen some good ones come through from Bellator over the years, including Eddie Alvarez, Michael Chandler and Alexander Volkov back in the day, along with Patricio Pitbull, Aaron Pico and Michael 'Venom' Page more recently. I would place Patchy Mix right up there among the best of the bunch for one reason: He's very much still in his prime. Advertisement He is 31 years old and just hitting on all cylinders, having won seven fights in a row. He hasn't taken nearly as much damage as Alvarez and Chandler (who inflicted plenty of it on each other), and he's far more proven as a former champion than, say, Pico. There's a good possibility that if Mix beats Bautista that he's catapulted into the top space to be challenging for a title, and I think he'll get his shot at some point in the near future. Petesy: I think he might be the best. There have been greats in the past, as Alvarez famously went on to claim the lightweight title after making the transition. Eddie was a year younger than Patchy when he made the move but I also think that he joined a lightweight division that wasn't as healthy as the current situation we see in the UFC's bantamweight class. That might be unfair to Eddie, as he had to get through Gilbert Melendez and Anthony Pettis before dethroning Rafael Dos Anjos, but I really feel this is one of the strongest bantamweight rosters of all time. If Patchy ain't the best, I'd have him second to Eddie, but I'm expecting big things from him. 5. What's one other fight on UFC 316 that is guaranteed to deliver? Petesy: Luque vs. Holland has chaos written all over it. And speaking of chaos, or a variation of the spelling, Khaos Williams and Andreas Gustafsson could be a banger, too. While we're on the topic of things that are guaranteed to deliver, the most exciting part of the whole damn night for me will be jumping on YouTube for a live show with you and the big homie Helwani for our 3PAC post-fight special! Yes, that was a blatant plug, and I can only apologize. See you there, Mith! Advertisement Chuck: Blatant plug, and I love it — no need to apologize. Glad to have the gang back together. I will see if I can get in a word edgewise with you two yappers, but one thing I know for certain we'll be discussing? The return of the great Kelvin Gastelum. I kid, of course. (How is Gastelum still appearing on these cards? His nickname should be the 'Cockroach,' because you just can't kill him.) There's a reason they put that Luque-Holland fight at the top of the PPV, and it's not because they are brilliant technicians, Petesy. With no real care about title shots or any of the worldly structures the UFC has put up, their whole mission is to tear it all down. It's a fight with next to no perceptible stakes, which is some serious Chris Leben territory. Action is the only goal. To live-for-the-now and to put on a show. I think this one delivers.
