Alex Cooper booed at Wrigley Field after off-key rendition of ‘Take Me Out to the Ballgame'
Cooper's enthusiastic delivery fell flat with Chicago Cubs fans, who responded with loud boos and social media criticism.
Appearing during a game between the Chicago Cubs and St. Louis Cardinals, Cooper attempted to entertain the crowd but quickly lost favour.

Fans compared her performance to other less-than-ideal renditions in Wrigley Field history, even ranking it below past infamous efforts by Mike Ditka and Ozzy Osbourne.
'Alex Cooper's Stretch wasn't Ditka or Ozzy Osbourne level bad. It was somehow worse because she was actually trying to do it that way,' one fan posted online. Another added, 'Just saw Alex Cooper get booed at Wrigley Field best day of my life.'
Despite her popularity in the podcast world and a $60 million Spotify deal, Cooper struggled to connect with the baseball audience.
Known for transforming Call Her Daddy into a solo brand after parting ways with former co-host Sofia Franklyn, Cooper has courted both acclaim and controversy in recent years.
In 2024, she received criticism for a tightly managed interview with then-presidential candidate Kamala Harris, including a costly studio setup in Washington, DC. More recently, she threw the first pitch at Fenway Park—another high-profile sports moment met with mixed reactions.

Megyn Kelly slams Charlize Theron as 'vulgar' over podcast appearance
Megyn Kelly has openly criticised Charlize Theron following the actress's recent appearance on the 'Call Her Daddy' podcast, where Theron revealed she had a one-night stand with a 26-year-old man. Theron, 49, described the encounter as 'really amazing,' adding that women should be more assertive regarding their sexuality. Kelly labelled Theron's comments as 'vulgar' and 'off-putting,' questioning why the actress would share such details publicly. On her SiriusXM podcast, Kelly said, 'She's 49 years old. She's trying to sound like she's 26 years old, and it's inappropriate. It feels weird. Act like it… Have some class.' Kelly also criticised Theron's use of profanity during the podcast, remarking, 'I love a good F-bomb… But every sentence? An F-bomb? 'F in this, F in that, F in God,' what is that?' Additionally, Kelly expressed scepticism regarding Theron's sexuality, claiming, 'I believe that Charlize Theron probably prefers women,' while also questioning the truth behind Theron's claims about the younger partner. Theron has faced other controversies recently, notably when she joked that celebrity guests at Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez's Venice wedding 'suck,' during an event for the Charlize Theron Africa Outreach Project.

Charlize Theron shares rare personal insights in new podcast appearance
Charlize Theron shared personal reflections on dating and relationships during her appearance on the Call Her Daddy podcast. In a moment of openness, the 49-year-old actress spoke about having a recent one-night stand with a 26-year-old, calling it 'really f------ amazing.' 'I think I've had three one-night stands in my life,' she said. 'It's not my thing, but this one was just… I was in a different place.' She also spoke about dating in her forties, describing it as the first time in her life she's felt truly comfortable being single. According to Theron, age has brought a new level of confidence and clarity around her wants and boundaries. On dating apps, she called the exclusive platform Raya 'a f------ clown show,' and advised men to avoid clichés like Burning Man photos, pictures with exes, or vague job titles. Theron reiterated her long-standing stance on marriage, stating she has no interest in getting married and values the freedom to leave a relationship when it no longer serves her. She also briefly revisited a sexual harassment experience involving an unnamed director, revealing he had later sent her a letter, though she chose not to name him.
