Red Panda health update: Popular halftime performer 'severely fractured' wrist in fall
Unicyclist Red Panda, a popular halftime performer known for juggling ceramic dishes on her head and feet while riding a 7-foot unicycle, has provided a health update after suffering a scary fall at the 2025 WNBA Commissioner's Cup on Tuesday, July 1. In a statement provided to ESPN personality Pat McAfee on Wednesday, Red Panda, whose real name is Rong Niu, revealed that she "severely fractured" her left wrist after falling off her damaged unicycle during her halftime performance of the WNBA Commissioner's Cup final, where the Indiana Fever defeated the Minnesota Lynx at Minneapolis' Target Center on Tuesday. Niu broke the same wrist in 2013. "She took a fall at the very beginning of the show," Niu's team said to McAfee. "Her left wrist was severely fractured at the same spot for the 2nd time. She was at the hospital for 11 hours last night." Niu's team said the fall was caused by her faulty unicycle, saying, "the left (pedal) of her unicycle was damaged during transit." Niu has performed countless halftime shows at NBA and WNBA games, dating to 1993 and had performed during Game 5 of the NBA Finals between the Indiana Pacers and Oklahoma City Thunder at the Paycom Center in Oklahoma City. Shortly after beginning her performance at the WNBA game and letting go of a ladder she used to get on her unicycle, Niu fell off it and crashed to the floor. She instantly clutched her wrist on the floor and was attended to by medical professionals before being wheeled off in a wheelchair. "(Niu) is very grateful. She is on her way home now and the doctors in Minneapolis have recommended that as soon as she gets home, she meet with an orthopedic surgeon for the 2nd part of repair," the statement added. "Thank all of you for the kind wishes and support, it means the world to her. She much appreciates from her heart the support she is receiving. We'll keep you all posted.' Following the injury, Niu received an outpouring of support and get-well-soon messages. Caitlin Clark gave Niu a shoutout in an Instagram Live video posted by Sydney Colson as the Fever celebrated their Commissioner's Cup win over the Lynx. "Red Panda, we love you," Clark said. Niu appeared on Season 8 of "America's Got Talent" in 2013 and advanced to the quarterfinals before withdrawing for personal reasons. The USA TODAY app gets you to the heart of the news — fast.

Caitlin Clark's wild Fever celebration included casually 'shotgunning' a beer
The Indiana Fever's WNBA Commissioner's Cup win celebration casually included *checks notes* guard Caitlin Clark crushing a beer. Yes, Clark drained a beer while her teammates cheered her on with the Commissioner's Cup trophy in the background."Chug! Chug! Chug!" they said as the liquid evaporated. MORE WNBA: Caitlin Clark delightfully crashed Aliyah Boston's Commissioner's Cup interviewClark, who missed Tuesday's festivities with a groin injury, was on site when Indiana upset the Minnesota Lynx, 74-59, to take home its first piece of hardware this season. Though she didn't play, she was still part of the reason that Indiana made it to the championship game, and she rightfully deserved to celebrate. So, that meant the Indiana star got the pleasure of slamming a celebratory beer ― Quite literally. She threw the can to the floor after she drank it ― with her Fever teammates in honor of their huge victory. If you thought Clark's hysterical shenanigans stopped there, they did not. She was seemingly the ringleader of getting her teammates to drink beer, too. Clark held the Commissioner's Cup trophy as multiple teammates sipped from it. She even wholesomely double-checked that rookie Makyala Timpson was of legal age to consume alcohol before letting her have some. At some point, the team also hopped on Instagram Live to troll the rest of the league, which totally tracks. Clark is notoriously competitive, and if anyone loses to her, they're probably going to hear about it. "Guys, I just know everybody else in the league is sick," she told her teammates. "They're pissed", center Aliyah Boston chimed in, agreeing. (Warning: very NSFW music playing in the video below.) What a night for Clark and the Fever.

The Most Embarrassing Celebrity Moments
Starting strong with Vanessa Hudgens' seriously wild response to COVID-19 lockdowns — and their potential impact on Coachella — during an Instagram Live in March 2020: "Terrible, but like, inevitable?" remains a core part of my lexicon to this day. Moving on, there's that seriously awkward time when James Corden couldn't name a single cameraman who worked on his Late Late Show, and opted to drink fish smoothie instead: Watch here: How about when Lorde dramatically shushed the crowd to deliver her, erm, somewhat divisive vocals a cappella. You can watch the video here. And speaking of divisive vocals, Millie Bobby Brown's impromptu performance of John Lennon's "Imagine" literally lives rent free in my head. Watch here! Then there's that time a TikToker shared the awkward video Ben Affleck sent her after she unmatched him on Raya because she thought he was a catfish: Thinking about it, TikTokers and celebrity men don't exactly have a great track record — who could forget Adam Levine's cringey extra-marital sexts (to multiple different women!) leaking? Alongside the claim that he wanted to name his and his wife's son Sumner, which is the same name as one of the woman he cheated with. Idk about you, but I'm forever wondering what Bella Hadid was thinking when she let us know what sneakers homeboy needed to wear if homeboy wanted to get it. And I'm still cringing over Tom Holland telling American-born Eric Nam that he speaks "great English." And, at one point, Hailey Bieber was physically down bad for Justin Bieber. The notorious video of Justin skateboarding away from paparazzi and Hailey tripping over — as in, literally falling to the ground — as she tries to run after him genuinely haunts me. "Go Hailey, don't fall! Don't fall!" How about that time Jennifer Lopez confidently strutted up to her old home in the Bronx and told the owner that she used to live there, only for him to have no clue who she is? You can watch the full, awkward clip below: And speaking of misplaced confidence, remember when Usher seemed pretty certain that he'd be placed in the middle when a whole bunch of celebs got together to sing "We Are The Champions" for Jimmy Fallon? I still need to know what exactly was going through John Travolta's mind when he introduced Idina Menzel as Adele Dazeem at the 2014 Oscars: Let's relive the moment together: Not to mention the time that same year when Rita Ora was "hacked," but all that those pesky hackers did was send a tweet reading: "Dropping my new song monday if this gets 100,000 retweets." When the tweet was still hovering at less than 2,000 retweets a while later, Rita followed up with: "By the way my Twitter got hacked somebody is threatening to release new music I've worked really hard on. Nothing comes out until I'm ready. Or the bots insist on it! When it's ready we will drop music! Luckily I caught the hacker really quickly and deleted the post. Thank you!!" So lucky, Rita! But Rita isn't the only celeb with an X faux pas up their sleeve. Personally, if I were Patrick Schwarzenegger, I would have been kept awake at night when my sassy tweets about Austin Butler being cast in the upcoming American Psycho movie resurfaced amid my own campaign for the role... I also need to remind you all of the time that Ryan Seacrest tried to high-five a blind American Idol contestant: Watch below: And that time Kendall Jenner genuinely seemed to believe that she could achieve world peace with a Pepsi: Finally, how could I not mention that genuinely infamous Kelly Osbourne The View moment? In the sense that— Rewatch below... If you're strong enough: Whew, that was a lot. Let me know your thoughts — and any moments I've missed — in the comments below!

‘I'm f***ing her too': Stefon Diggs' ex reacts to Offset drama with Beyoncé reference
After a controversy erupted over her being seen with Cardi B's ex, rapper Offset, Sky Marlene, who once dated NFL star Stefon Diggs, reacted to it by invoking Beyoncé. Offset's recent nightclub appearance with Sky Marlene, Stefon Diggs' ex-girlfriend, raises eyebrows amid ongoing drama with Cardi B, his estranged wife. According to Marlene, she can't even go to a Beyonce concert without stoking a controversy about her dating life. 'I can't even go to a Beyoncé concert. They going to think I'm f*cking her too,' Marlene wrote in her Instagram story. It all started when Diggs, now signed with the New England Patriots on a three-year, $69 million deal, was spotted partying with Cardi B. The duo were seen cosying up during a boat party that quickly went viral, especially after a clip surfaced showing Diggs chatting with a group of women and handing them an unidentified pink substance. For fans, the more eyebrow-raising headline wasn't just Diggs' antics but who he was with. Cardi B, of course, is still legally married to rapper Offset of Migos fame. Though the couple has had its ups and downs, including public spats and reconciliations, this latest twist has fans wondering whether their chapter is truly closed. Offset seemed to confirm the tension when he made a cryptic post, which was since deleted, following news of Cardi and Diggs' situation: 'Good roll out n PR.' But now the rapper was recently seen at a nightclub with Sky Marlene, Diggs' ex-girlfriend. Fans criticised the couple, prompting a response from Marlene. Cardi B has addressed the buzz surrounding her unreleased track 'Outside,' which recently went viral and sparked speculation about its connection to her estranged husband, Offset. During a candid Instagram Live session, the rapper confirmed that she won't be dropping the fan-favourite as a single, despite growing demand. 'I don't think I wanna put out a single, to be honest with you. I just wanna put out my album all at the same time,' Cardi B said. However, she revealed that she will be filming a music video 'in a couple of weeks,' but it will not be for her new episode, as reported by HotNewHipHop.
