Post Malone to open Lower Broadway restaurant and music venue
Post Malone is joining the league of celebrities who've claimed a slice of Lower Broadway pie.
Why it matters: Post Malone's announcement Tuesday that he'll open a Nashville entertainment venue proves Music City is more than a pit stop for the popstar-turned-country-crossover artist.
Zoom in: Hospitality company TC Restaurant Group says they'll partner with the Grammy Award-nominated musician to open a 26,000-square-foot restaurant, bar and music venue on at 305 Broadway.
The honky-tonk-inspired venue will be named for the singer and feature three stages, six bars, a rooftop and a dining room.
What he's saying: "We've created a space where everyone can come together and kick some ass. Nashville has really become a second home for me so I can't wait to invite y'all over to my house," Post said in a statement.
The big picture: Property values on Lower Broadway are skyrocketing, with celebrity-owned honky-tonks driving the biggest increases.

Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Beyoncé experienced a technical malfunction at her concert in Houston, Texas, over the weekend, and the moment she warned her crew about the mishap was caught on camera. Newsweek reached out to Beyoncé's representative and her company, Parkwood Entertainment, via email for comment on Monday. The Context Beyoncé is currently on her Cowboy Carter tour. The "Texas Hold 'Em" singer, 43, announced the news in February following the release of her country-inspired album, Cowboy Carter, in March 2024. Beyoncé, pictured with her husband Jay-Z, wears a cowboy hat and burgundy faux fur during the Louis Vuitton Menswear Spring/Summer 2026 show as part of Paris Fashion Week on June 24, 2025 in Paris, France. Beyoncé, pictured with her husband Jay-Z, wears a cowboy hat and burgundy faux fur during the Louis Vuitton Menswear Spring/Summer 2026 show as part of Paris Fashion Week on June 24, 2025 in Paris, To Know The malfunction took place on Saturday while Beyoncé was performing "16 Carriages." The 35-time Grammy Award winner rides on a red prop car over the audience during the song, but halfway through the track, the car stopped and tilted, prompting her to pause the show. "Stop. Stop, stop, stop, stop," Beyoncé said as the crowd quieted. "Thank you for your patience." After the car was lowered safely to the ground, the Destiny's Child alum added: "I wanna thank y'all for loving me. If ever I fall, I know y'all will catch me." On X, formerly Twitter, fan @limegreenroger posted a video of Beyoncé appearing to eyeball her crew ahead of the incident. "I think I got when Beyoncé caught the malfunction and tried to signal the camera QUICK," he wrote. At the time of publication, the clip racked up more than 1.5 million views and over 1,100 likes. I think I got when Beyonce caught the malfunction and tried to signal the camera QUICK 😩 #CowboyCarterTour — Rodrigo 💚 (@limegreenroger) June 29, 2025 This isn't the first time Beyoncé endured a malfunction during a live performance. In 2023, she had a wardrobe malfunction on her Renaissance World Tour in Detroit. While singing her tune "Break My Soul," the mom of three—who shares daughter Blue Ivy and twins Rumi and Sir with her rapper husband Jay-Z—had to fix one of her gold boots that slid down her leg. What People Are Saying Following Saturday's technical difficulty, Parkwood Entertainment said in a statement shared to their Instagram Story, per Good Morning America: "Tonight in Houston, at NRG stadium, a technical mishap caused the flying car, a prop Beyoncé uses to circle the stadium, and see her fans up close, to tilt. She was quickly lowered and no one was injured. The show continued without incident." Beyoncé referenced the malfunction in several Instagram posts after the concert: "I love you, Houston," she wrote in one note and added, "Sittin' Sidewayz," in another. What Happens Next Beyoncé resumes her Cowboy Carter tour on Friday in Washington, D.C. The tour first kicked off at Los Angeles' SoFi Stadium in April, and it ends in Las Vegas on July 26.

Jury due to begin deliberating in Sean ‘Diddy' Combs' sex trafficking trial
NEW YORK — Jurors are set to start deliberating Monday in Sean 'Diddy' Combs ' sex trafficking case, weighing charges that could put the hip-hop mogul in prison for life. After receiving legal instructions from federal Judge Arun Subramanian, the jury of eight men and four women will head behind closed doors to deliberate. They'll sift through seven weeks of sometimes graphic and emotional testimony about the rap, fashion and reality TV impresario 's propensity for violence and his sexual predilections, including drug-fueled sex marathons dubbed ' freak-offs ' or 'hotel nights.' Combs, 55, has pleaded not guilty to federal charges of racketeering conspiracy, two counts of sex trafficking — relating to two of his ex-girlfriends — and two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution for allegedly arranging to fly sex workers across state lines. In closing arguments last week, federal prosecutors and Combs' defense team took their last shots at convincing jurors to convict or acquit the Grammy Award-winning founder of Bad Boy Records. 'The defendant used power, violence and fear to get what he wanted,' Assistant U.S. Attorney Christy Slavik said. 'He thought that his fame, wealth and power put him above the law.' Defense lawyer Marc Agnifilo countered, 'This isn't about crime. It's about money.' He noted that one of Combs' accusers in the criminal case also sued him in civil court. In all, 34 witnesses testified, headlined by Combs' former girlfriends Cassie — the R&B singer born Casandra Ventura — and ' Jane,' who testified under a pseudonym. Both women said he often was violent toward them and forced them into hundreds of sexual encounters with paid male sex workers. Jurors also saw now-infamous security camera video of Combs beating, kicking and dragging Cassie at a Los Angeles hotel in 2016 and clips from videos of sexual encounters. Combs chose not to testify, and his lawyers didn't call any witnesses in their defense case. His attorneys elected instead to challenge the accusers' credibility during lengthy cross-examination questioning. The defense has acknowledged that Combs veered into violence, but his lawyers maintain that the sex acts were consensual. They contend that prosecutors are intruding in Combs' personal life and that he's done nothing to warrant the charges against him.
