Woman slammed for sneaking this bizarre item into Broadway show: ‘That's insane'
Despite those typical protocols, one woman allegedly snuck a can of tuna into the theatre — and then had the audacity to open it in the middle of a show to eat it.
Alyssa Naka Silver, briefly shared her experience with the tuna eater on TikTok. In the video, the content creator is mugging at the camera with overlay text reading, 'Me turning to the woman who opened a can of tuna and ate it during the second act of Cabaret last night.'
That scenario is a head-scratcher, for sure. People in the video's comment section were just as appalled as Silver.
'A can of tuna is allowed in a theater but God forbid I bring in an electrolyte drink for my medical condition,' one person asked.

'Like WHY do you need your can of tuna in the middle of a cabaret? That is an at-home activity,' another commenter asked.
'But also, forgetting etiquette for a second. The second act of Cabaret runs for about 45 minutes. Could you not wait until you at least leave the theatre?' a great point, one commenter wrote.
Speaking of how to behave appropriately in a theatre, etiquette expert Lisa Mirza Grotts told the Daily Mail, 'Your seat is not your living room. Show respect for those in the spotlight: actors, musicians, dancers, and fellow patrons.'
That means not eating random foods or scrolling on your phone in the middle of a performance.
All theatre-goers should follow proper etiquette.

'The only spotlight should be on the stage, not your phone. A glowing screen is disruptive to everyone. Power down and tune in,' Grotts told the outlet.
Although it may be tempting to rip open that bag of chips halfway through the show, Grotts said to save it for afterward.
'If it makes noise, it doesn't belong until intermission,' the expert said.
'The general idea is that you are not at home. You're in public and other people are around, so not bothering them is key,' said host of the etiquette podcast 'Were You Raised By Wolves?' Nick Leighton, according to the Daily Mail.
'This includes bothering them with your noise and with your smells.'
And everyone knows a can of tuna is definitely smelly.

Service Dog Visits Aquarium, Dolphins' 'Special' Response Says It All
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A visit to the aquarium took a touching turn when Forest, a golden-retriever service dog, encountered the facility's dolphins. The dolphins' unusually strong and curious response to Forest, captured in a viral TikTok video by his owner Ashton McGrady, has left many wondering if they sensed his unique purpose. McGrady, 33, told Newsweek about the video, which has over received 2.5 million views, and what she believed drew the dolphins to Forest. "You won't believe how these dolphins reacted to my service dog," McGrady captioned the video. "I think the dolphins knew he was special."

Photos from Ashton McGrady's TikTok video of dolphins at an aquarium reacting to her service dog. @radiantlygolden/TikTok McGrady provided insight into the incredible canine companion that captured the dolphins' attention. "Forest is my golden retriever service dog," she said. "He's task-trained to assist with my disabilities, including Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS), syringomyelia, and autism spectrum disorder." Forest performs a wide array of vital tasks, including "cardiac alert, deep pressure therapy, retrieving medication, closing doors or cabinets, removing clothing, meltdown response," and more. The interaction with the dolphins was a first for Forest. "This was the first time he'd ever interacted with marine animals and definitely the first time meeting dolphins," McGrady said, adding that it was "truly something special … It felt like an unusually strong connection—almost like they sensed Forest's purpose." Watching the moment unfold, McGrady was deeply moved by Forest's disposition. "I was completely in awe," she said. "Forest was so calm and curious, and the dolphins were clearly engaged … As someone who relies on Forest for so much, seeing him connect so instinctively with another species was cool. It felt like the dolphins could sense the gentleness in him, or maybe even his purpose. It was a reminder that empathy and connection can transcend species." In the comments section, one former aquarium employee weighed in on the exact phenomenon McGrady witnessed: "I used to work at an aquarium! Dolphins LOVESSSS dogs. They don't understand them. Then find them SOOOO interesting. Same things with strollers. They can feel them roll around with echolocation. It's beautiful," they wrote. McGrady said she hopes this viral moment helps educate the public about the vital role of service dogs. They aren't pets, she added, but "highly trained medical tools and life partners for disabled people." And while Forest is cute, his function in her life is essential to her well-being. "Service dogs do so much more than people realize," McGrady concluded. "[He is] essential to my safety and independence. These dogs perform complex tasks … their presence can truly be lifesaving."

Parrot Leaves Viewers Speechless As He Chats to Local Cat: 'Best Friend'
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The internet has gone wild for a pet parrot determined to make a visiting neighborhood cat his best pal. Coco is a Congo African grey parrot who lives in Belfast, Northern Ireland, with his owner, Claire, and whose frequent chatting and singing has made him a bit of a celebrity online. On Claire's TikTok account, @clairerosa90, Coco can be found singing songs, interacting with his owners or talking to himself—sometimes using rude words—which has proved a hit with followers. Now a recent video of Coco trying to befriend a neighbor's cat has gone viral racking up more than 1.8 million views since being posted on July 5. In the clip, Coco sits on a perch attached to a window, and as a small black-and-white cat jumps on to the windowsill on the other side, Coco instantly tries to start up a conversation. "Where'd you go, cat?" he repeats in a strong Northern Irish accent. The cat, meanwhile, is staring back at him, looking nonplussed, as Coco taps his beak against the window and cries: "Look, a cat." Coco continues tapping against the window and saying hello, before changing tactics, and saying: "Look, a bird. Look, a cat." The video ends with the cat—who until now has been watching Coco without moving—jumping up and slapping its paw against the window, its hunting instincts having kicked in. But Coco, who jumps back, is safely behind the glass. As the cat turns and leaves, Coco then lets out a meow, and tells it: "Come on, off you go cat." Claire posted the video with the words: "I will never not be amused by Coco thinking this neighbourhood cat is his best friend," and added in the caption: "Another episode of unlikely animal friendships." Coco the parrot interacts with a cat outside the window. Coco the parrot interacts with a cat outside the window. TikTok @clairerosa90 TikTok users loved the video, awarding it more than 200,000 likes, as one wrote: "It's mad that the bird knows what a cat is and can identify it." "You're telling me they know what words mean?!?! I always thought they were just repeating sounds they frequently heard," another shocked commenter said, as another admitted: "I never knew parrots could speak so clearly, it's kind of creepy." And as one user put it: "It's crazy how as a society we've completely accepted the fact that a bird can talk like that." African greys are highly intelligent and are recognized as one of the best talkers of all parrot species, according to VCA Animal Hospitals. Along with imitating human speech, from words to songs, they can also imitate electronic sounds, such as the ringing of the telephone or doorbell. There have been studies that suggest some parrots do understand what they say: Irene Pepperberg, a research professor of psychological and brain sciences at Boston University, has long studied parrots and human language, and one subject, named Alex, had a prolific vocabulary. Alex was trained using a methodology that ensured he understood that his words applied to certain objects or concepts—he had more than 100 words, could count up to six, and could describe items as bigger or smaller than others, according to LiveScience. Newsweek has contacted @clairerosa90 via TikTok for comment on this story. Do you have funny and adorable videos or pictures of your pet you want to share? Send them to life@ with some details about your best friend and they could appear in our Pet of the Week lineup.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce reportedly spent Fourth of July at exclusive resort in Montana
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce reportedly enjoyed a little fireworks of their own on the Fourth of July. The 'Blank Space' singer and Kansas City Chiefs tight end were spotted spending the holiday weekend at the exclusive members-only Yellowstone Club in Big Sky, Montana, according to DeuxMoi. The Instagram account added in their most recent newsletter that Kelce and Swift, both 35, have frequently spent time together at the luxury private resort. A rep for the singer did not immediately respond to Page Six's request for comment. The sighting comes after the 'Love Story' hitmaker apparently skipped out on her iconic Fourth of July party for a second year — she typically holds a lavish A-list bash at her Watch Hill, Rhode Island, mansion. Swift also ditched the highly anticipated soirée in 2024 amid her historic Eras Tour. The singer and pro athlete — who were snapped grabbing a low-key lunch at JoJo's Bar in Chagrin Falls, Ohio, ahead of the holiday — are said to be relishing their downtime together as Kelce ramps up for the upcoming NFL season. 'It's been a turning point for their relationship in a lot of ways,' an insider told People earlier this month. 'They're incredibly happy and in sync. There's a calmness and ease to their relationship right now that's been really grounding for Taylor and Travis.' Swift wrapped up her $2 billion Eras Tour in December, while the NFL star completed last season in February with a thumping Super Bowl loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. Kelce has since been spotted at NFL training sessions in Florida — where he rented a posh luxury retreat — ahead of his 13th season with the league. He's also been seen enjoying outings with the pop star on a number of occasions. 'Taylor and Travis are soaking up every minute of this slower season together,' the insider told People. 'They've been splitting their time between New York, Nashville, and a few quiet getaways, just enjoying each other's company without all the usual chaos. This kind of downtime is rare for both of them, and it's really allowed their bond to deepen.' Meanwhile, a separate insider dropped a major clue on a potential timeline for an engagement between the power couple. 'Once he is done playing [football], the conversation will be front and center,' a source told the Daily Mail in May, referencing his upcoming season. Per a previous Daily Mail report, Kelce expects the upcoming season to be 'his last.' The outlet claimed friends and family are eyeing Super Bowl 2026 as a potential engagement and retirement date.
