Selena Gomez slammed for 'rich-person' behavior after watching Knicks game at Beyonce concert
Selena Gomez has irked social media users after she revealed she kept up with the New York Knicks game at a Beyonc e concert over the weekend. The actress, 32, appeared to be in attendance at Beyonce's Cowboy Carter show at the MetLife Stadium in New Jersey on Sunday. Dressed in a Cowboy Carter-branded Stetson, Selena posted a series of snaps from the concert… but one particular image left fans reeling. Dressed for the occasion: The actress shared a selfie of her clad in cowboy attire for the gig Watching the performance from a very empty suite, Selena uploaded a picture of a phone screen which was showing the Knicks take on the Pacers. 'Still got my eye on the game,' she captioned the snap, which had been added to her Instagram Story. Some were outraged by Selena's actions and blasted her for not 'appreciating' the Beyonce gig. Some even went as far as hinting that she didn't want to be there. Complaining on Reddit, one said: 'Not surprised. Rich people can't appreciate things because they've destroyed the pleasure center of their brain from getting what they want all the time. 'Selena will never know an ounce of the happiness I felt in the cheap seats.' 'Only time I watched something on my phone at a show was the one time I didn't want to be there at all,' another said. However, many defended Selena and understood her motive given that the Knicks have not reached the NBA Finals since 1999. One said: 'I live in NYC and plenty of my friends who went to the Cowboy Carter show last night also had the game on their phones… I'm not a basketball fan but apparently it's been a big deal.' 'In fairness the last time Knicks won a championship, Beyoncé wasn't born,' another wrote. 'So let fans enjoy two things.' A third added: 'Don't think it has a thing to do with her being rich. It's a societal problem of all of us having constant access to what we want on our phones. 'Every time I go to concerts people are scrolling too and we're in the nosebleeds.' 'This is supposed to be a problem?' asked another. 'It's the playoffs!' 'Yeah I'm a huge Beyonce fan and a soccer fan,' a fifth continued. 'I also wouldn't do it at her concert but come on lol. Sometimes if it's an important game, it's hard to resist having it on in the background of whatever you're busy with.' On Sunday, the New York Knicks beat the Indiana Pacers 106-100 in game three of the conference finals. The Paces are currently 3-1 up after their win on Monday. It's a huge time for the Knicks who are still in with a chance of winning the 2025 NBA Championships. They have not won an NBA championship since 1973.

Selena Gomez slammed for 'rich person' behavior after bizarre stunt at Beyonce's Cowboy Carter concert

Beyoncé has attracted heaps of celebrities to her Cowboy Carter tour, which kicked off on April 28. Meghan Markle and Prince Harry were spotted dancing the night away at her SoFi Stadium performance in California earlier this month. CBS Mornings host Gayle King also saw the Grammy-winning artist at the same stadium, alongside her pal Oprah Winfrey.

Just how massive is Indianapolis Motor Speedway compared to other stadiums?
A packed NBA arena can make a ton of noise that belies its size — the largest venue in the league is the United Center in Chicago, home of the Bulls, and it holds just under 21,000 fans. Dodger Stadium is as big as MLB baseball stadiums get, as it sits 56,000 fans, but that's nowhere near as many as the largest NFL stadium — that would be MetLife Stadium, where the Jets and the Giants play, with a capacity of 82,500. Think of how many people all of those venues feel like they hold while you're in them. And then consider that none of them even crack the top 10 — nor do they come anywhere close — of the largest sports venues in the United States. A six-digit capacity is a requirement to make it to that list, and for that, there is only college football and racing, in various forms. West Shore Home Field at Beaver Stadium (Penn State Nittany Lions, College Football) 106,572 There are eight college football stadiums that seat at least 100,000 fans, and all but one of those was built in the 1920s. The lone exception is the home of Penn State's football team, the Nittany Lions, constructed in 1960. In its current form, anyway: there are parts of the stadium that are well over a century old themselves, as they were part of Penn State's previous venue, a 30,000 seater named New Beaver Field, was disassembled and made part of Beaver Stadium when it opened in 1960. Michigan Stadium (Michigan Wolverines, College Football) 107,601 The rivalry between the Michigan Wolverines and Ohio State Buckeyes goes back and forth again and again, to the point that the former won the rivalry game this year but the latter ended up as national champions. If there's one thing that Michigan can lord over Ohio forever, though, it's that Michigan Stadium is larger than The Shoe. Texas Motor Speedway (NASCAR, INDYCAR) 112,662 Texas Motor Speedway used to host INDYCAR races, until 2023, but now finds itself exclusively as the home of multiple NASCAR racing series, like the NASCAR Cup Series, NASCAR Xfinity Series, and NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series. While it's massive compared to the capacity for so many other sports, as far as speedways in America goes not everything is actually bigger in Texas. Las Vegas Motor Speedway (NASCAR) 116,000 While the idea of Las Vegas as a sports city is relatively new — the NHL (Golden Knights, 2017), WNBA (Aces, 2018), and NFL (Raiders, 2020) all arrived within the last decade, and the Las Vegas Athletics are planned as the next addition to the city — the Las Vegas Motor Speedway and NASCAR have been in town for much longer. The track opened up all the way back in 1971, and the Speedway has hosted NASCAR events for nearly three decades now. Circuit of the Americas (Formula One, NASCAR, MotoGP) 117,439 Formula One's United States Grand Prix runs at the Circuit of the Americas, as does NASCAR's EchoPark Automotive Grand Prix, and other various automobile races besides. And there is non-car racing, too, as MotoGP's Motorcycle Grand Prix of the Americas takes place at this Austin Texas circuit. Circuit of the Americas is constructed differently depending on what kind of race is going on there, naturally, but even with its huge track layout, there are larger racing venues out there. Atlanta Motor Speedway (NASCAR) 125,000 The Atlanta Motor Speedway used to host INDYCAR as well as the IMSA GT Championship, but it's now used for various NASCAR events that are part of the NASCAR Cup Series, NASCAR Xfinity Series, and the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series. It opened way back in 1960, and while it bears Atlanta's name, it's actually located in a suburb of the city, Hampton. The population of Hampton? Just 8,368 as of the 2020 census… unless there happens to be a race going on, of course. Michigan International Speedway (NASCAR) 137,243 Michigan loves its large venues — maybe Comerica Park should consider adding another 10,000-plus seats so it can match up with what old Tiger Stadium used to seat. Speaking of Comerica, the Michigan International Speedway fits more than what three of that stadium could, with room to spare. It currently plays host to NASCAR Cup Series races, as well as the NASCAR Truck Craftsman Series. Bristol Motor Speedway (NASCAR) 153,000 Bristol Motor Speedway, located in Tennessee, is the largest NASCAR track, which is also why it's going to be home to an MLB game between the St. Louis Cardinals and Cincinnati Reds in 2025 (airing on FOX) — it will surely be the highest-attended game in league history, considering it seats nearly 100,000 additional fans than the league's largest stadium, Dodger Stadium, can. It plays host to NASCAR Cup Series, Xfinity Series, and Craftsman Truck Series races. Churchill Downs (Kentucky Derby) 170,000 Horse racing is an old sport, and Churchill Downs, home of the Kentucky Derby, is an old venue: it opened back in 1875, or, so long ago that it was already around 50 years old by the time many of the larger college football stadiums first broke ground. To give you a sense of the size of Churchill Downs in comparison to other horse-racing venues, Pimlico Race Course, home of the Preakness, falls short of 100,000 seats, and the Belmont Stakes are run at Belmont Park, which fits exactly 100,000. Indianapolis Motor Speedway (INDYCAR) 350,000 And then you have the home of the Indianapolis 500, the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. As far as permanent seats go, Indianapolis Motor Speedway can seat 250,000. After general admission is accounted for, though, the speedway can hold 350,000 fans — more than twice as much as the next-largest venue, Churchill Downs. A fitting home for "The Greatest Spectacle in Racing," no? Want great stories delivered right to your inbox?

Beyoncé's ‘Cowboy Carter' Confirms She's Our Greatest Live Performer
Summer trash TV is alive and well. Beyoncé is the GOAT. The funniest performance on TV. Tony Awards trivia. The video I can't stop watching. There is only one person worth one of the world's most harrowing experiences: going to New Jersey. I did it to see Beyoncé. It is both the most boring thing in the world and something I will never shut up about: the unbearable journey from Manhattan to MetLife Stadium to see a 'New York date' of a major arena tour. I was on, at various points, three different trains and eventually a bus that was never actually fully explained where it was going. Despite this, I'm still feeling euphoric, because Beyoncé's Cowboy Carter tour is that good. It was a cold, rainy night, but there was still so much enthusiasm for Thursday's concert. Everywhere you looked, there were cowboy hats and denim jackets. Beyoncé didn't just put on a show, she turned the night into an experience. A testament to how embraced the star's country-themed album is, there was just as much excitement for her performances of the Cowboy Carter songs for the first time on tour as there was for her renditions of classics, like 'Diva,' 'If I Were a Boy,' and 'Irreplaceable.' Beyoncé is a dynamo on stage. She is peerless, uncorking some volcanic force of magnetism and personality from the first second of the show that never relents over the course of three hours. She's in the lineage of Prince and Tina Turner when it comes to that kind of artistry and energy in live performance. She is so good, a person will even go to New Jersey to see her. It's been interesting to see how divisive the Prime Video comedy Overcompensating has been. It's a semi-autobiographical show about comedian and actor Benito Skinner's experience coming to terms with his sexuality and coming out of the closet while in college in the 2010s. Skinner's age, being 31 playing 18, and the revisiting of a traumatic coming out story has led to much discourse. (Personally, I loved the show.) But one thing that's been unanimous is the praise for breakout star Holmes, who plays endearing disaster co-ed Hailee. Hailee is a whirling dervish of a boy-crazed, party-loving college mess. She is also fiercely loyal to her friends. There's something feral and wanton about Holmes' performance, yet also something very meticulous about her characterization. There are several reasons I'm hoping for a Season 2 of Overcompensating, but mostly I just want to see more of her. If, on a random Saturday night, you hear the faint sounds of what can only be described as a cat being drowned, don't be concerned: I'm just at the piano bar Marie's Crisis screeching the bridge of the ballad 'Suddenly Seymour' from Little Shop of Horrors. The off-Broadway revival of Little Shop is one of New York City's best theater gems. I've gone several times to see various Seymours that I have unrequited crushes on. So it's a fun, tickling bit of trivia this year that so many past stars of the production are all nominated for Tony Awards this year. Four former Seymours—Jonathan Groff, Jeremy Jordan, Darren Criss, and Conrad Ricamora—and one Audrey (who also played an Urchin), Joy Woods, are all nominated. And Jinkx Monsoon, also an Audrey alum, is starring in the Best Revival-nominated Pirates!. It's very nerdy how cute I find this. It is very important to me that everyone watch this video of Tom Cruise eating popcorn. Lilo & Stitch: Finally, a live-action Disney remake that isn't a disaster. (Now in theaters) Sirens: It's like a beach read as a TV show. (Now on Netflix) Pee-wee as Himself: The late comedy genius gets the tribute he deserves. (Fri. on HBO) Fountain of Youth: Everyone involved in this should be embarrassed. (Now on Apple TV+) Fear Street: Prom Queen: No cliché is passed over in this latest horror movie. (Now on Netflix)
