Phil Mickelson shows true colours to Scottie Scheffler after 'worst take in the history of golf'
Phil Mickelson has responded to Scottie Scheffler's Open Championship victory after the American's "hot take" from earlier this year was called out by many golf fans Golf legend Phil Mickelson has been left with egg on his face after Scottie Scheffler 's sensational run of form in 2025. The Texan has clinched four PGA Tour victories so far this year, including the PGA Championship and The Open. Scheffler, 29, secured his fourth major at Royal Portrush on Sunday, overshadowing Rory McIlroy 's much-anticipated return to Northern Ireland. His remarkable year also includes triumphs at The CJ Cup Byron Nelson and The Memorial Tournament, though he has laughed off comparisons to golf great Tiger Woods. Six-time major winner Mickelson had previously cast doubt over Scheffler's prospects for the remainder of 2025. 'Lefty' made a bold statement earlier this year, which The Mirror US report has already been disproved and dubbed arguably the "worst take in golf history." "Here's a hot take," read Mickelson's post on X back in March. "Does Scottie win in 2025 before the Ryder Cup? I don't think so." Following Scheffler's stunning 68 on Sunday to finish 17-under at Royal Portrush, Mickelson has had to awkwardly retract his comments. But the veteran, who was recently mocked for his decision to expand the LIV Golf League, did so in modest fashion. "Congrats to Scottie Scheffler on another impressive victory," he said on social media, showing his true colours in acknowledging his misjudgement. "So many irons shots were amazing and what a putting performance." Golf enthusiasts couldn't help but poke fun at Mickelson's misjudged prediction as one fan teased: "But I thought he wasn't going to win another one this year?" Another amazed spectator chimed in: "Phil got some explaining to do about that tweet." And a third fan hit back with a pointed reminder: "You were dead wrong about him not winning before the Ryder Cup! Wayyyyy off." Mickelson etched his name into the history books by making his 103rd cut in men's major championships this weekend. That saw him surpass Gary Player to claim second place on the all-time list. The Open holds a special place in Mickelson's heart, especially following his 2013 victory when he was the only contender to come in under par. After his best opening round at an Open Championship since 2016, Mickelson expressed relief at catching a break with the weather. "We had a pretty good break before the rain came in. It came in just [after] the last couple holes," he said. "I really enjoy playing these conditions and playing this tournament. It's just a lot of fun. "I think winning The Open in 2013 was the greatest accomplishment in my career because I had to learn a style of golf that I didn't grow up playing. Now I've come to really love it, enjoy it, and I seem to play well in some of the adverse conditions. "When you get conditions like this, you start to fall back on realising that 60, 80 feet in the proper spot is like a good spot, and you start to realise that you can make 20- or 30-footers out here. "You find that going back on past experience, you don't have to press it. You don't have to force it."

Coldplay 'Kiss Cam' Moment Trends after Exposing Alleged CEO-HR Affair
Rana Atef In the past few hours, a Coldplay concert went viral as the concert's "kiss cam" caught a man and woman red-handed. However, the reaction of the couple drew the attention of the audience. The identity of the couple was revealed, and a controversial story trended, leading people on social media to react hilariously. Astronomer CEO Andy Byron and HR chief Kristin Cabot were caught together at a Coldplay concert in Massachusetts. There was footage Andy hugging Kristin from behind at the concert, held at Gillette Stadium, and once the pair realized that the Jumbotron had focused on them, they quickly reacted. The HR chief put her two hands on her face and turned around, while Andy quickly let go of Kirstin and ducked to hide. The band's frontman Chris Martin was confused by the footage and joked, 'Either they're having an affair or they're just very shy.' The two work together and could possibly have a relationship outside of that, relationship expert Jacob Lucas has spoken to The Mirror US and claimed that due to this whole fiasco, both their work and personal relationship "will be taking a turn". The relationship expert continued, " Their working relationship will also see a change. It's likely to become a bit awkward for everyone involved. There will be the case of this being the talk of the office, which can be difficult to navigate. They either come completely clean and say they really like each other, or they will decide to apologize and make sure to be as professional as possible while still working together." Neither Andy nor Kristin have made a public comment since the video went viral. Byron is married, and it was reported that his wife allegedly removed her last name on Facebook, while the HR chief is divorced. read more New Tourism Route To Launch in Old Cairo Ahmed El Sakka-Led Play 'Sayidati Al Jamila' to Be Staged in KSA on Dec. 6 Mandy Moore Joins Season 2 of "Dr. Death" Anthology Series Don't Miss These Movies at 44th Cairo Int'l Film Festival Today Amr Diab to Headline KSA's MDLBEAST Soundstorm 2022 Festival Arts & Culture Mai Omar Stuns in Latest Instagram Photos Arts & Culture "The Flash" to End with Season 9 Arts & Culture Ministry of Culture Organizes four day Children's Film Festival Arts & Culture Canadian PM wishes Muslims Eid-al-Adha News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Arts & Culture South Korean Actress Kang Seo-ha Dies at 31 after Cancer Battle News "Tensions Escalate: Iran Probes Allegations of Indian Tech Collaboration with Israeli Intelligence" Sports Get to Know 2025 WWE Evolution Results News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks Arts & Culture Hawass Foundation Launches 1st Course to Teach Ancient Egyptian Language

Outrage over My Chemical Romance's 'demonic' show points to a bigger problem
Imagine seeing My Chemical Romance performing their iconic album The Black Parade live on opening night and being shocked when politics and death are a major theme. Now imagine being so angry you brand their tour 'demonic' and 'woke' and try to sell your ticket, which you seemed to have purchased totally unaware that MCR is incredibly politically charged. According to The Mirror US, this is a reality for some very unprepared Facebook 'fans'. After opening night in Seattle, gig-goers reportedly complained about a 'twisted' section of the show in which singer Gerard Way conducted a mock election, then executed the 'candidates' and sarcastically thanked fans for 'participating in democracy'. To any long-term fan of the legendary emo pop-punk band, this kind of stunt (taking aim at the illusion of choice and rigged elections) will not have been a surprise, but it seems not everyone at the show was a fan – or at least had no clue what they were walking into. The Black Parade Tour appears to be the victim of an increasing trend of people going to gigs simply to say they've been, without actually checking what they're signing up for. Take radio DJ and podcast host Roman Kemp, for example. He recently came under fire for declaring he was shocked Beyonce sang so much Cowboy Carter on the Cowboy Carter tour. Roman, 32, thought he was going to get more of her throwback hits rather than a run through of her Grammy-winning album, despite everything about the tour telling him otherwise. Complaining he didn't know many songs on his podcast with Tom Grennan, the DJ revealed more than he intended about himself and the way he interacts with gigs. In an age where we're all more online than ever, it's baffling anyone is able to walk into a concert blind. More than that, in many cases, it's just willful ignorance. However, this is by no means Roman's problem. It's a wider issue plaguing big gigs where the desperation to not miss out has turned live music into a status symbol. And unfortunately, the more in-demand you are – Beyonce, Oasis, Black Sabbath and yes, even emo legends My Chemical Romance – the more likely you are to attract this rush. Celebrity and influencer invites regularly prove controversial, with reactions falling either under 'look how much fun they're having, what a legend' or 'how dare they not enjoy this more'. Selena Gomez came under fire for keeping an eye out for the Knicks in May as she watched a game on her phone, while in a private suite at the Cowboy Carter tour. Let's not underestimate the sheer status symbol that comes with being able to afford the hefty price tag. Just like a skiing holiday or buying a cocktail in London, concerts are a luxury item. If you've spent hundreds on a ticket, merch, outfit, and travel, then of course, you're going to boast about it on social media. Let's be honest, VIP tickets are unlikely to have taken away any seats from the average gig-goer. This pet peeve is most likely driven by jealousy, rearing its ugly head as we watch influencers — who probably got there for free —enjoying an incredible view. While we whinge about influencers, we're all trying to be one as we watch the show through our phone screens, recording the entire thing. Even filming for songs that, for whatever reason, don't bring in viewers, which get posted less and less as the tour continues. Often, you'll find influencer-minded gig-goers chatting during these. As Sabrina Carpenter once said: 'There's so many more moments than the Juno positions, but those are the ones you post every night and comment on.' Concerts have become an easy path to viral fame without having to even put your face out there — the only barrier is the cost to get there. Fear of missing out is a huge factor, especially when all your idols are posting about going to the show. This FOMO starts before the first gig, when you're told tickets are going to be in demand, so people who wouldn't normally have bothered to see an artist pile onto Ticketmaster in hopes of securing a seat. UK Music reported that in 2023, 19.2million Brits went to a live music event, a 33% increase on the previous year. Taylor Swift's mammoth Eras Tour pushed this feeling into the stratosphere as if you weren't dressing up as your favourite album with friendship bracelets at the ready, you were on the outside of a crucial moment in culture. @taylornation To all the fans who took part in experiencing the joy that #TSTheErasTour has brought us over the past two years… We saw you spend hours designing your costumes, trading friendship bracelets, singing and dancing nonstop to the entire setlist, spreading love to everyone, and welcoming each city into our shared traditions. While the tour has come to an end, your smiles, tears, and friendships will last a lifetime. Remember to hold on to the memories — they will hold on to you. 🫶 #LongLiveTSTheErasTour ♬ Long Live (Taylor's Version) – Taylor Swift Sporadically dropped, re-recorded (and brand new) albums meant that if you missed a single show, you really could miss out on breaking news. More than the music, this was a shared bonding experience between lovers of Taylor's songs, with fans at home playing SwiftAlert as they guessed her costumes for each night. This was a cultural moment, broadcast out via livestreams every night and, with such a large fanbase, it's no surprise those feelings of missing out have leaked into other tours. Sabrina Carpenter brought a little of this to her Short 'n' Sweet Tour, with the playful Juno poses going viral every single night. With the vast online coverage of her show, it's hard to miss her pin-up aesthetic and innuendo-filled songs However, as her fame grew, those who had not been aware of this began clutching their pearls. Her shows left people — particularly parents — shocked, having bought the ticket blindly and only thought of not missing out. The same goes for My Chemical Romance, maybe you loved Welcome to the Black Parade as a teenager, so frantically thought 'well I can't miss out on this' but never actively listened to the band. This anniversary tour has been particularly highly sought after, with the band performing the entire rock opera front to back. Not your usual gig for a casual fan. As with all things that are becoming overrun with cynical capitalism – the very thing My Chemical Romance rallies against – real music lovers will inevitably push back. The nature of music is that it connects with us on a human level, whether it's Lewis Capaldi's triumphant Glastonbury return or getting into a mosh pit at Black Sabbath. To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video You don't need to be the biggest fan in the world to deserve tickets but a quick Google search before you buy them wouldn't be a waste of time. Maybe then you won't be ridiculed for calling the band that famously formed after queer icon Gerard Way witnessed the 9/11 crash and has an entire rock opera about the downfall of capitalism, 'too woke'. More Trending Even if you walk in blind, make sure it's with an open mind, like the girl was caught Shazam'ing Bitter Sweet Symphony while Richard Ashcroft opened for Oasis. She was blasted for not knowing 'the national anthem' and 'taking tickets off deserving fans', despite the fact that this wasn't even the act she was there to see. However, instead of talking through the entire song or tuning out, she looked it up – you never know, that might be her favourite song now. There's no issue with buying tickets for an artist you only sort of like but don't complain when they then do exactly what they've been telling you they're going to do. Got a story?

Noah Wyle Denies Rumors About Tracy Ifeachor's 'Pitt' Exit
Since HBO Max announced that Tracy Ifeachor wouldn't be returning for season 2 of The Pitt, rumors have run wild as to what prompted her exit. Was it really a creative decision? Or is there something a bit more nefarious going on? The Pitt star Noah Wyle commented on Tracy's exit, saying that while he finds all the speculation entertaining, it's really not that deep. 'We've all been sort of amused by the speculation about what everybody things might be a reason,' he told Deadline. 'But truthfully, we loved the actress. We enjoyed having her with us very much. She's gotten really big and we will miss her.' In other words: Don't read too much into it. Whether or not Noah's comments will actually stop the rumor mill is another question. After Tracy's departure from the show was announced on July 11, some fans began speculating that there might have been some behind-the-scenes drama between her and some of the creative team. Through her Instagram, fans connected her to a megachurch in London, which has come under fire for performing 'gay exorcisms,' and some theorized that a difference in personal beliefs may have led to friction on set. Despite having no evidence to back it up, this rumor spread quickly, so much so that Tracy's publicist had to put out a statement denying the allegations. 'These claims are entirely false,' the statement, given to The Mirror US, began. 'First, Tracy was not fired. Dr. Heather Collins was simply not written in as a part of season 2, which is a creative decision that has been confirmed by HBO. As for the speculation about Tracy and her religious beliefs, the statement said that 'any rumors about Tracy participating in any discrimination through her religion are completely incorrect, defamatory, and hurtful. This gossip could not be further from the truth. She is a woman who leads with love, kindness, and compassion, and as her very gay publicist, I can say that I see this daily, firsthand.' Hopefully, all these rumors won't keep Tracy from celebrating The Pitt's 13 Emmy nominations, including a nod for Best Drama, or attending the 2025 Emmys in September.

Loyal dog 'tails' ambulance to hospital and waits outside for owner for 6 days
In a heartwarming display of loyalty, a dog named Boncuk waited outside a Turkish hospital for six days while her owner was treated for a brain embolism. The dog's owner, Cemal Senturk, was admitted to a hospital in Trabzon, Turkey and his faithful companion, Boncuk, followed the ambulance there, steadfastly waiting for him to emerge. Boncuk 'tailed' the ambulance to the medical facility and stood vigil outside, undeterred even when family members attempted to bring her back home, reports The Mirror US. She maintained her post at the hospital entrance from dawn till dusk for every day that her owner was admitted. Footage captures the devoted dog outside the hospital and their touching reunion upon Senturk's release. Boncuk waiting outside the hospital (Image: That Good News Girl/Facebook) Boncuk would show up at the hospital around 9 am and remain until evening, loyally waiting by the entrance. Despite efforts by Senturk's daughter, Aynur Egeli, to take Boncuk home, the determined dog would find her way back to the hospital time and again. After a six-day vigil, Boncuk joyously reunited with Senturk as he left the hospital. While the episode occurred in 2021, the tale captured hearts worldwide all over again after a TikTok 'positive news account' highlighted the fluffy white dog's dedication to her owner. The woman narrated: "When Cemal was picked up from his home in Turkey by an ambulance, his dog Banjok managed to slip out the front door at the same time. "After watching him load into the back of the vehicle, she managed to follow the ambulance all the way to the hospital, where she started waiting right outside the front door. "Hospital staff checked her tags and connected her to their newly-admitted patient and called Cemal's family to pick her up, but the next morning, Bonjok was right back by the entrance of the hospital, waiting patiently to see her best friend. She had made another escape from Cemal's family's home, and when she was returned to the family again, she did the exact same thing the next morning. "At this point, hospital staff had become fond of Bonjok, and they decided to start caring for her and feeding her themselves while keeping an eye on her and making sure she stayed safe. "They brought Cemal down for visits with her while he was recovering, and after five days of treatment, he was finally able to go home. Cemal and Bonjok reunited outside of the hospital for good this time. "They went home together, where Bonjok finally decided to stay put," the TikToker, known as 'That Good News Girl' explained." Hospital staff became attached to Boncuk (Image: That Good News Girl/Facebook) Dog owners often wonder who holds the title of their canine's favorite human, and it's a popular belief that dogs show a preference for the person who feeds them, walks them and plays with them. But the experts over at Rover think it goes deeper, suggesting dogs usually vibe best with the person "who matches their own energy level and personality." Veterinarian Dr. James Greenwood, a TV personality from the UK show The Pet Show, offers guidance on determining whether you're your dog's primary favorite or just a secondary human in their eyes. He also shares tips for strengthening your bond with your canine companion. According to Dr. Greenwood, a significant indicator of a dog's feelings is their tail behaviour, emphasising the importance of observing their body language. He says: "It's all about the tail with dogs! They can express a whole range of emotions through their tail wag. Whilst it's important to note not all tail wagging is a sign of happiness, there are two types that signal pure joy in our dogs." Cemal and Boncuk reunited (Image: That Good News Girl/Facebook) Dr. Greenwood advises paying attention to your dog's body language when you return home, particularly noticing which person they approach first and the style of their wag. "Firstly, the whole-body wag that starts at the shoulders and wiggles all the way down to the tip of the tail is quite literally their happy dance," he says. It's safe to say Mr. Senturk is definitely his dog's favorite human. Some use the tell-tail signs to know, while others watch their pup follow them to the emergency room and back.
