Beyoncé Jokes She Was ‘Sittin' Sidewayz' When Flying Car Malfunctioned During Cowboy Carter Tour Stop
She posted a tour reel on Instagram Monday (June 30) from the June 28-dated tour stop in her Houston hometown, when the suspended red convertible began slanting in the air while she was singing '16 Carriages' at NRG Stadium. The superstar stopped mid-performance to say 'Stop. Stop. Stop. Stop. Stop.' before being safely lowered to the ground and hopping out of the whip. While she quipped with the crowd that night, 'If ever I fall, I know y'all will catch me,' she still had one more joke up her bedazzled sleeve.

'Sittin' Sidewayz,' she captioned the clip while playing Paul Wall and Big Pokey's 2005 hit in the background. Released as the first single from Wall's sophomore album The Peoples Champ, 'Sittin Sidewayz' reached No. 93 on the Billboard Hot 100 and No. 24 on Hot Rap Songs.
Parkwood Entertainment released a statement about the incident after the concert on Sunday morning (June 29). 'Tonight in Houston, at NRG Stadium, a technical mishap caused the flying car, a prop Beyonce 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,' Parkwood wrote in a since-expired Instagram Story.
Beyoncé is slated to perform at Northwest Stadium in Landover, Maryland next on Friday, July 4 and Monday, July 7.

Sophie Cunningham Turns Heads With Pregame Outfit for Fever-Lynx
Sophie Cunningham Turns Heads With Pregame Outfit for Fever-Lynx originally appeared on Athlon Sports. With Caitlin Clark officially out for Tuesday's Commissioner's Cup championship game, the rest of the Indiana Fever squad will need to step up to the plate to stand a chance against the defending champs, the Minnesota Lynx. Advertisement One player who will need to turn in quality minutes for head coach Stephanie White is veteran guard Sophie Cunningham. She's no star—and isn't expected to fill Clark's shoes—but Cunningham has been a key piece in Indiana's rotation this season. Apart from what she brings to the court for the Fever, Cunningham is also never short on style and swagger when it comes to her fashion sense. This was the case yet again for the 28-year-old on Tuesday night as she came to the championship game in an all-black ensemble. In the video posted by the Fever, Cunningham wore an oversized pinstripe shirt paired with tailored or straight-leg pants. The 6-foot-1 guard completed her all-black, streetwear-inspired look with dark round glasses and some gold jewelry. Advertisement Cunningham grabbed the attention of fans on social media with her pregame fit. "We love Sophie," a comment on X read. "Sophie in black 🖤 outfit , i would say , ( diamonds are forever ) 🥃🍺😘" a supporter posted on Instagram. "Sophie! 😍," said another. Indiana Fever guard Sophie Cunningham has been a key figure off the bench this season.© Jerome Miron-Imagn Images "OKAY SC🔥," a fan wrote. "Sophie the baddie Blondie bomber cunningham 🙌," commented another. "Gorgeous Lexie and Sophie," a reaction read. Cunningham will likely receive more minutes against the Lynx with Clark out again due to a groin injury. In the Fever's last two games without Clark, Cunningham's playing time increased to 25.5 minutes. She registered 7.5 points, 3.0 rebounds and 2.5 steals, while also knocking down 1.5 triples off the bench.

Olivia Munn Says A ‘Newsroom' Director 'Wanted To Ruin My Chances Of Getting' Acting Jobs In Retaliation After Disagreement On HBO Series
Olivia Munn is recalling her time on The Newsroom and a disagreement she had with a male director who retaliated by smearing her work ethic. In a recent interview, Munn opened up about an incident she had on the set of the HBO series. More from Deadline Kyle MacLachlan "Would Love" To Reprise Trey On 'And Just Like That' After Rejecting Writers' "First Idea" 'The Comeback' Revived By HBO For Third & Final Season 'Game Of Thrones' Stunt Accident Video Leak Raises Questions About Safety On HBO Franchise 'There was a storyline where my character and Tom Sadoski's character are dating and falling in love,' Munn said on Dax Shepherd's Armchair Expert podcast. '[The director] kept trying to force me to carry that storyline only on my side. He's like, 'Can you look out at him and smile?' And I'm like, 'Why she's busy doing this?' Or, 'Can you stop and snuggle up to him or flirt with him?' Or, 'Can you give him a kiss?' And I'm like, 'This is in the middle of working.'' The Your Friends & Neighbors said that she later learned that the unnamed director told a movie studio she was challenging to work with. 'I was on the one-yard-line for the movie and my manager calls me and says, 'Hey, you're gonna get the role. But first, I guess there's another director who they know and he says that on The Newsroom you were late all the time and really combative,'' Munn recalled. 'I lived seven minutes from there. I was never late. I was like, 'I know who this is.'' She continued, 'He just was trying to bash me. And I told my reps, 'Please tell the directors this.' And then I still got the role. But I will always remember that just because of our conflicts of how we approached a role, he wanted to ruin my chances of getting anything else.' The Newsroom was an HBO series that premiered in 2012 and ran for three seasons. Munn played the role of Sloan Smith, an economist who presents a segment on Will McAvoy's (Jeff Daniels) news show.
