Beyoncé surprises fans with Destiny's Child reunion to cap off Cowboy Carter tour
Beyoncé brought the curtain down on her 'Cowboy Carter' tour with a surprise Destiny's Child reunion at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas on Saturday. The stunned crowd roared when Beyoncé emerged on stage with Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams announcing, 'Destiny's Child b—!' before the trio delivered a medley of their hits including the 2001 anthem 'Bootylicious' and 2004 hit 'Lose My Breath.' They also performed a version of Beyoncé's 2022 'Energy,' along with the song's viral 'mute challenge.'

The reunion left fans ecstatic, describing the moment as 'iconic' and 'legendary.' 'Y'all will never understand how iconic this is considering they're one of the most successful girl groups of all time,' wrote one on X. It also prompted some to speculate whether a more sustained Destiny's Child recoupling might be in the future. 'If this is a sign that destiny's child will go on tour they can 3x the rent, just make it happen,' wondered another fan on X. The reunion was an electric moment in a show full of charged moments. Shaboozey, Beyoncé's 'Cowboy Carter' collaborator, also joined her to perform their hit 'Sweet Honey Buckiin'.' Jay-Z, who made a number of appearances with his wife during her nine-city, all-stadium tour, was in Las Vegas too, where they belted out their 2003 hit 'Crazy in Love,' ending the song with a kiss. The star wattage was high off-stage as well. 'Grand opening, grand closing!

Hulk Hogan's longtime friend and ex-WWE star Brutus ‘The Barber' Beefcake shares crushing regret after legend's death
WWE Hall of Famer Brutus 'The Barber' Beefcake had known Hulk Hogan for nearly 50 years. When he debuted as a pro wrestler in the late 1970s, Beefcake was known as Ed Boulder and part of a tag team with Hogan, who went by Terry Boulder. It was Hogan, real name Terry Bollea, who 'recruited' Beefcake, real name Ed Leslie, to be a wrestler out of high school. So Beefcake was thinking of his friend Hogan — who had reportedly been dealing with several health issues — in the days leading up to his death Thursday morning at age 71, and in an interview with TMZ, Beefcake expressed regret about not being able to see him one last time. 4 Brutus Beefcake (l.) and Hulk Hogan (r.) WWE 4 Brutus Beefcake (l.) and Hulk Hogan (r.) after Hogan inducted Beefcake into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2019. YouTube/WWE 'I was going to try to go to his house a couple of days ago,' Beefcake said in an interview published Saturday. 'My wife said, 'You should just go over there.' And I was thinking, 'Oh, my God,' but if I go to the house and they say, 'No, you can't come in,' it would have crushed me. So I didn't [go,] and now I wish maybe that I had tried to get in and tried to get to see him before he passed.' A cardiac arrest call was placed from Hogan's Clearwater, Fla. home Thursday at 9:51 a.m., police said, with medics arriving five minutes later. He died at 11:17 a.m. Beefcake remembered Hogan as a loyal friend. 4 Brutus Beefcake at the U.S. vs. Canada Border Brawl wrestling event on May 25, 2025.

New York Post He said Hogan flew across the country to see him after Beefcake's face was destroyed during a parasailing accident in Florida on July 4, 1990, requiring 16 hours of surgery. 'I was in a horrible accident and not expected to live,' Beefcake recalled to TMZ. 'And [Hogan] left his family in California — his wife was about to have a baby, his son Nick — to fly to Florida to be there because the doctor said they didn't think I was going to make it. And he flew there to be there for me. 'And when they brought me out of a drug-induced coma, and he said to me, 'Don't even think about it. Brutus, you're going to live.' And I did. And he was there for me at the moment I needed the most.' After getting Beefcake started in the business, Hogan inducted his friend into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2019, a day he says he'll treasure forever. 'I owe him everything,' Beefcake said of Hogan.
