Country music star LeAnn Rimes runs off stage after teeth fall out mid-concert
LeAnn Rimes bolted off stage after her teeth fell out mid-performance.
The I Need You singer was mid-song at The Skagit Casino Resort in Washington recently when her dental bridge became detached.
'Last night I was on stage, in the middle of [singing] One Way Ticket, ' Rimes shared in a video posted to her Instagram.
'I feel something pop in my mouth,' she continued. 'And if you've been around, you know I've had a lot of dental surgeries and I have a bridge in the front and it fell out in the middle of my song last night.'
The pop star, 42, said she 'panicked' before running to the side of the stage to secure her prosthetic teeth and swiftly returned back to the microphone.
'Then I just had to get real with everybody and tell them exactly what was happening or else I would have had to walk off stage,' she shared.
'And so, for the rest of the show, I was literally like this, pushing my teeth in.'
Rimes said she had to push her teeth back in 'every couple lines' while she singing her tunes and noted that it was in that moment she realised her song, Can't Fight the Moonlight, had several Fs, THs, and SHs.
'Like, Can't Fight the Moonlight, [the teeth] completely fell in my mouth,' she recalled.
Fortunately, Rimes laughed off the dental disaster and even called it 'the most epic experience ever.'
'I don't usually have firsts in my career. That was a first and hopefully a last,' she said.
Rimes hoped her teeth would stay in for her performance at the same venue later that night.
'We shall see,' she said before joking, 'The front row, get ready for something to fly out. If you catch them, please return them.'
Rimes said she decided to take to social media to show fans that she was 'keepin' it real.'
'Like I said, there wasn't a f***ing thing I could do about it except either walk off, or just hold my teeth in and sing, so I just ran with it,' she said. 'The show can go on, even in the midst of sheer, utter embarrassment. You just gotta be real with people.'
As for the status of her faulty dental bridge, Rimes said 'It's all good.'
'They're in for now,' she said, adding that the mishap was the most 'epic' example of how the show must go on.

Kevin Costner fires back at lawsuit from woman claiming she was forced into ‘unscripted rape scene'
Kevin Costner is fighting back against a lawsuit filed by stuntwoman Devyn LaBella, who alleged that she was made to perform a 'violent, unscripted rape scene' on the set of Horizon: An American Saga – Chapter 2 without her consent. In a statement obtained by Fox News Digital, Costner's lawyer, Marty Singer, refuted the claims. 'Ms. LaBella was doing a rehearsal on an Insert Shot for a scripted scene. There was no intimacy or anything sexual in the shot,' his lawyer said. 'There was tugging on a dress while she was fully clothed in a dress with long bloomers lying down next to a male actor.' Costner's lawyer continued, 'Numerous witnesses have contradicted Ms. LaBella's meritless claims.' His legal team additionally claimed that LaBella texted her supervisor after she wrapped, 'stating, 'Thank you for these wonderful weeks.'' 'We look forward to the swift end of this specious lawsuit,' the statement concluded. In a newly amended complaint filed Wednesday, June 18, lawyers for LaBella claimed a scene that was filmed on May 2, 2023, was shot without any stunt or intimacy co-ordinators on set, according to documents obtained by Fox News Digital. 'What happened to me on that set was a reckless violation — a breach of consent and of basic workplace safety. I was told to lie down, and without warning or rehearsal, another actor was brought in to simulate a rape on top of me,' LaBella said in a statement. 'My undergarments were exposed. I was left alone afterwards, overwhelmed and in shock. Compliance under pressure is not consent. Consent cannot be given after the harm has already begun.' She continued, 'Once the line is crossed, there is no real choice left to make. I spoke up immediately. And for that, I was met with silence, deflection, and efforts to discredit me. This case is not just about what happened to me. It's about a broken system that protects those in power and punishes those who speak out. It's about demanding change, not just for me but for everyone who deserves to work in safety and dignity. What happened on that set was wrong. Let it be known: I stood up. I told the truth. And I will never apologise for demanding the bare minimum — to be treated like a human being at work.' LaBella amended her lawsuit, which was originally filed in May. The recent filing included alleged text messages exchanged between LaBella and the film's intimacy co-ordinator the day after the alleged incident. 'I wanted to discuss yesterdays abomination when we both have a chance,' LaBella, 30, wrote in the message. 'I was put in a really wrong position and it's really affected me.' To which the co-ordinator replied, 'Oh no, I'm so sorry to hear this Devyn … Let's talk through it.' In another alleged text message listed in the amended lawsuit, LaBella wrote to the co-ordinator, 'Why was there no intimacy co-ordinator?' 'Why was a stunt double doing this non stunt work — especially given the sensitivity of it?' LaBella added, 'Who is gonna take responsibility for the abuse of power …' The dispute between Costner and LaBella comes after the stuntwoman claimed last month that she performed the unscripted rape scene without proper notice, consent or the mandatory presence of an intimacy co-ordinator while she was working on Horizon: An American Saga – Chapter 2. In the sequel film, LaBella was the lead stunt double for actress Ella Hunt, who played one of the Horizon movies' main characters, Juliette Chesney. Horizon: An American Saga is a four-part Western film series that was co-written, produced and directed by Costner, who also stars. In a complaint filed on May 27, 2025, and obtained by Fox News Digital, LaBella sued Costner and his production companies for sexual harassment, sexual discrimination, the creation of a hostile workplace environment and retaliation stemming from the alleged on-set incident. The lawsuit claimed that, 'On May 2, 2023, plaintiff Devyn LaBella, a female stunt performer, was the victim of a violent, unscripted, unscheduled rape scene directed by Kevin Costner.' In a statement to Fox News Digital at the time, Costner's lawyer emphatically denied the allegations made against his client, saying that LaBella's claim 'has absolutely no merit.' 'The impact of this impromptu work demand on Ms. LaBella has been profound, not only up-ending a career Ms. LaBella spent years building but leaving her with permanent trauma that she will be required to address for years to come,' the documents claimed. LaBella is suing for unspecified compensatory and punitive damages, and has requested a trial by jury. Per the lawsuit, LaBella began filming Horizon 2 in April 2023. According to the documents, there was another scene filmed on May 1, 2023, and LaBella and the actors previously rehearsed it with Wade and an intimacy co-ordinator. During the filming of that scene, the set was closed, and the intimacy co-ordinator was present. 'The scene 'wrapped,' and no issues were noted,' the lawsuit stated. Per the documents, LaBella was on set to film a 'non-intimate scene' the following day. The lawsuit alleged that Costner, who was present on the set, improvised additional scenes in which Juliette would be raped by a different character played by another actor. The new scenes required the actor to 'climb on top of Ms. Hunt, violently raking up her skirt,' the documents claimed. 'Due to the ad hoc and violent nature of the sudden script change request, along with the failure to secure a contractually required intimacy co-ordinator for the scene, Ms. Hunt became visibly upset and walked off the set, refusing to do the scene,' the documents alleged. In a statement at the time of the initial lawsuit filing, Singer told Fox News Digital, 'Our client, Kevin Costner, always wants to make sure that everyone is comfortable working on his films and takes safety on set very seriously. However, this claim by Devyn LaBella has absolutely no merit, and it is completely contradicted by her own actions – and the facts.' 'As a stunt performer on Horizon 2, the scene in question was explained to Ms. LaBella, and after she performed the rehearsal in character with another actor, she gave her Stunt Co-ordinator supervisor [Allen] a 'thumbs up' and indicated her willingness to then shoot the scene, if needed (which she was not),' Singer stated. Costner's lawyer also pointed to a text that LaBella allegedly sent to Allen, which was 'illustrated with happy heart emojis' and read: 'Thank you for these wonderful weeks! I so appreciate you! I learned so much and thank you again. I'm really happy it worked out the way it did to. Have a great rest of the shoot and yes talk soon!' 'The facts are clear, and we are beyond confident that Kevin will prevail,' Singer concluded.

Jimmy Barnes' teen granddaughter Ruby Rodgers launches debut EP
Ruby Rodgers wanted to be a MasterChef contestant, an actor, then an architect. But the music DNA coursing through her veins from her parents Mahalia Barnes and Ben Rodgers, and grandfather Jimmy Barnes, was too strong to ignore. The 15-year-old singer and songwriter has found a ready-made audience keen to check out her debut EP Crisis, thousands of fans who have followed her singing with her Australia's famous musical family since she was a child. 'I'm so grateful for everyone who has been supporting my music because obviously it's a very different genre from my grandpa's and mum's but I see how open people are to hearing this new stuff,' she said. Rodgers was inspired to write her own songs while travelling through Europe in a vegetable oil-powered school bus with seven other children from around the world for the Damon Gameau documentary Future Council. The ultimate school excursion was a mission to challenge powerful CEOs and people on the street to find solutions to ecological challenges. Her EP features a cover version of Coldplay's Fix You which the band gave permission to feature in the film. The movie has already had a special screening at United Nations headquarters last year where Rodgers and her co-stars addressed the assembly. 'I sent Chris Martin and the band a copy of the song and a letter so we could get permission to use the song on the film trailer,' Rodgers explained. 'Apparently all the band heard it because they had to approve it, and now it's out and I'm just so grateful that I got the opportunity to even get something through to them because they're such inspirations to me.' Rodgers wrote her first single Hits The Heart as a tribute to her co-stars in the film which will host special Q&A screenings in Australia next month before opening in cinemas in August. The EP's poignant opening track Family Tree hit a lot closer to home, inspired by missing her loved ones while she was travelling in Europe. 'My family have played such a big part in my life and the opportunities I've had are absolutely thanks to my family and I think it's really important to appreciate that,' she said. 'And the song isn't just about the idea of family by blood because I understand everyone has different situations, different meanings for family, and I think the idea of a family tree goes for anyone in your life that makes you feel safe, like you have a home, like someone to go back to.' Rodgers will continue to juggle her music aspirations with school for now and looks forward to the day when her rock legend grandfather joins her on stage to sing one of her songs after years of cameos at his gigs. 'I love singing with him, I love singing with the family and it would be an honour for me to be able to sing one of my songs with my grandpa,' she said. The Crisis EP is out now.

Outrage as major Simpsons character ‘killed off'
Fans of The Simpsons are up in arms over the shock death of one of the long-running series' main characters. In the final episode of season 36 of the cartoon, which was titled 'Estranger Things', the fate of the titular family's matriarch, Marge, is revealed. While focusing on Bart and Lisa's relationship, it skips forward 35 years into the future, where Lisa finds a letter and will from her mother to be opened upon her death. In it, Marge urges her two children, now in their 40s and having grown apart, to try and repair their relationship. She's later seen watching her family from heaven, before walking off camera with The Beatles' Ringo Starr. The stunning revelation indicates that Marge is set to die around the time she turns 70, although it's not revealed how. Naturally, fans could not believe their eyes. 'WHAT DO YOU MEAN THEY KILLED MARGE SIMPSON,' one user posted on X. 'Yo, they killed Marge off The Simpsons!?!?!?! WHAT?!?!,' another wrote. Another added: 'Dude, they freaking killed Marge Simpson.' It's certainly not the first time The Simpsons has floored its fans. In the season 36 premiere, which aired late last year, former Simpsons writer Conan O'Brien shockingly announced that it was actually the series finale. 'It's such an honour to be with you all for the series finale of The Simpsons,' a cartoon version of O'Brien, speaking from what looks to be a glamorous gala. 'I knew I was the right man for the job because I've hosted the last episode of three of my own shows, and counting. 'Well, it's true. Fox has decided to end The Simpsons. This show was such a special part of my early career, so being here means the world to me. Also. I left a sweater in the writer's room in 1993 and this is the only way they'll let me get it back.' The episode, titled 'Bart's Birthday', then went on to portray the 'ultimate series finale', generated by AI, featuring Principal Skinner retiring, Mr Burns dying, and an homage to The Sopranos.
