Morgan Wallen's On-Stage Meltdown: What Made Him Flip a Piano? New

Morgan Wallen's On-Stage Meltdown: What Made Him Flip a Piano?

Country music star Morgan Wallen appeared frustrated after experiencing technical difficulties during a recent show. During the singer’s Friday, May 29, show at Empower Field at Mile High in Denver, Colorado, Morgan, 33, flipped over his on-stage piano mid-performance after it appeared he was unable to hear the instrument, per social media footage shared on both X and Instagram. TMZ and Billboard also reported on the on-stage incident. Amid the technical difficulties, the singer was forced to perform his hit song “Sand In My Boots” a cappella, moving forward with the show despite the apparent ear piece issues. Us Weekly has reached out to reps for Wallen for comment but did not hear back at the time of publication. The “Whiskey Glasses” singer, who got his start in 2014 on season 6 of The Voice, is no stranger to controversy. In May 2020, he was arrested outside Kid Rock’s Nashville bar, Big Honky Tonk, for public intoxication and disorderly conduct. He was later cleared of the charges. “I went out downtown last night with a few old friends,” he said via X, then known as Twitter. “We didn’t mean any harm, and we want to say sorry to any bar staff or anyone that was affected.” View this post on Instagram He made headlines again when he was caught partying without a face mask — kissing multiple women in the process — at college bars in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, amid the deadly COVID-19 pandemic. His reported partying ultimately cost him a gig on Saturday Night Live. “I’m in New York City, in a hotel room. I was getting ready for SNL this Saturday, and I got a call from the show letting me know that I will no longer be able to play. And that’s because of COVID protocols, which I understand,” Wallen said at the time. “I’m not positive for COVID, but my actions this past weekend were pretty short-sighted and that have obviously affected my long-term goals and my dreams. I respect the show’s decision because I know that I put them in jeopardy. I take ownership for this.” Check our latest news in Google News Check our latest news in Apple News (Wallen later made his official SNL debut on December 5, 2020.) Later, in 2021, Wallen sparked controversy again when TMZ published a video of the singer using the N-word in February amid rising racial tensions in the country after the murder of George Floyd. “I’m embarrassed and sorry,” the singer said in a statement at the time. “There are no excuses to use this type of language, ever. I want to sincerely apologize for using the word. I promise to do better.” Exclusives you can't get anywhere else We know you want Us, because you've made it this far.

Jamie Lee Curtis Reveals Heartfelt Pre-Wedding Photos as Tribute to Late Sister New

Jamie Lee Curtis Reveals Heartfelt Pre-Wedding Photos as Tribute to Late Sister

Jamie Lee Curtis is continuing to pay tribute to her late sister, Kelly Curtis, just hours after announcing her death at the age of 69. “In 1984 on December 17, in the evening before my wedding, my sister, Kelly, who was my maid of honor, came to my apartment and slept over,” Jamie, 67, wrote via Facebook on Saturday, May 30. Jamie added that their friend Suzanne Tenner “made a portrait of the sisters” before her wedding to husband Christopher Guest. “She sent me this contact sheet today in condolence for the loss of my beautiful sister,” the Freaky Friday actress added. In the photos, Jamie and Kelly struck various poses as they sat on the floor. The sisters hugged in a handful of the snapshots, while others showed them entwined as they laid on the ground. “My sister and I were close as children but also had that sibling competition for divorced parent’s attention, and love and we were wildly different and lived apart for many years, but she came back to be with me at my wedding and never really left again,” Jamie continued. “She worked for me at one point when she was in between jobs as my assister-aunt and became an integral part of my family structure.” The actress concluded, “I miss her today but am buoyed by the knowledge that she is at peace.” Jamie confirmed Kelly’s death via Instagram earlier on Saturday. “A warm aloha to my older sister, Kelly Lee Curtis. She passed away this morning. In her home. In nature. At peace,” she wrote alongside a black and white photo of her late sibling, which showed her getting her hair done as she smoked a cigarette. She went on to say that Kelly was her “first friend and lifelong confidant.” “She was jaw droppingly beautiful, and a talented actress. She played a mean game of hearts, collected turtles, loved her family, nature, music, thrifting, travel, Facebook, and Pokémon Go,” Jamie continued. “She was proud of her Danish roots and Hungarian Jewish ancestry and was a devoted American patriot.” Kelly, the eldest daughter of Tony Curtis and Janet Leigh, was born in Santa Monica on June 17, 1956. Similar to Jamie, she followed in her mother and father’s professional footsteps and made her acting debut in the 1958 adventure film The Vikings alongside her parents. Check our latest news in Google News Check our latest news in Apple News She and Jamie also appeared in several films together, including 1983’s Trading Places, 1987’s Magic Sticks and 1991’s The Devil’s Daughter. Kelly also worked behind the camera and directed the 2018 documentary Marby Jets Are Go. Her cause of death has not yet been publicly revealed. Kelly is survived by Jamie and Christoper, 78, her husband and fellow filmmaker John Marsh, and her half-siblings Alexandra, Allegra, Ben and Nicholas.

Trump's Bold Move: Calls for Major Concert Cancellation Amid Artist Exodus New

Trump's Bold Move: Calls for Major Concert Cancellation Amid Artist Exodus

President Donald Trump called for organizers of Freedom 250’s Great American State Fair concerts to “cancel” upcoming concerts due to artists dropping out. “I am thinking about bringing the Number One Attraction anywhere in the World, the man who gets much larger audiences than Elvis in his prime, and he does so without a guitar, the man who loves our Country more than anyone else, and the man who some say is the Greatest President in History (THE GOAT!), DONALD J. TRUMP, to take the place of these highly paid, Third Rate ‘Artists,’ and give a major speech, rallying the Country forward like I have done ever since being President,” Trump, 79, wrote via TruthSocial on Saturday, May 30. Martina McBride, Bret Michaels, Young MC and Morris Day and the Time have all pulled out of scheduled shows at the 16-day festival in Washington D.C. celebrating America’s 250th birthday over organizer Freedom 250’s connections to the Trump administration. Freedom 250 describes its events as “nonpartisan,” though its website mentions the White House and the Department of War among its “founding government members.” Freedom 250 also publicly counts multiple corporations with ties to Trump — including Palantir, UFC and Oracle — as sponsors. “I would like to talk to you and clear the air. I will not be performing at the Great American State Fair on June 25. I was presented with an opportunity to perform at a nonpartisan event but that turned out to be misleading,” McBride, 59, announced via Instagram on Thursday, May 28. Michaels, 63, alleged that he’d received threats over his involvement in Freedom 250 before deciding to cancel his show. “Unfortunately, what was presented to us as a celebration of our country has evolved into something much more divisive than what I agreed to be a part of,” Michaels said in a statement via his website. “Concerns have also been raised regarding the safety of my fans, band, crew, family and myself, including threats that are completely unfounded and unforgivable. Because of that, I have made the difficult decision to step away from this performance.” In the wake of multiple artist cancellations, Trump compared the Freedom 250 controversy to his troubled attempt to renovate and rename the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. A judge ruled on Friday, May 29, that Trump’s name should be removed from the Kennedy Center’s marquee, in addition to temporarily blocking a planned two-year closure for renovations. (The president later threatened to “transfer this failing Institution back” to the “Radical Left Democrats” to force them to take ownership of renovation costs and planning.) “We should have a giant MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN RALLY, for 250, instead of having overpriced singers, who nobody wants to hear, whose music is boring, and yet who do nothing but complain,” Trump suggested. “Cancel it, just like I canceled my involvement with the failing and unsafe to be in Kennedy Center … The Kennedy Center is broken, unsafe, and $busted, and has been for many years!” Prior to Trump’s statement, Freedom 250 spokesperson Julia Friedland addressed whether the festivities were truly nonpartisan during an appearance on DC News Now’s Sunrise on the Hill on Friday, May 29. “I don’t think there’s anything partisan about America being around for 250 years … We have a history, obviously, but we have a president that wants to celebrate 250 years of America,” she insisted. “And that’s exactly what we’re doing. And that’s how it was sold to performers. We’ll have military bands, military ensembles as well. We will have representatives from every state and territory in the United States to come and represent their culture, what makes their state and territory unique.” “So it sold the same way to everyone that we’re celebrating America’s 250th birthday,” she added. “We’ll have military bands, orchestras, talented performers. We will be announcing more in the coming weeks and days, and we will have something for everyone there.” Check our latest news in Google News Check our latest news in Apple News Asked whether artists were told about the White House’s involvement when they signed on, Friedland said, “I can’t speak to negotiations that were made for performers. But what I can say is we’re selling it the same way to every single person in this country. This is a celebration of America, 250 years, glorious years. It’s inherently nonpolitical.” Not every concert booked for the Freedom 250 concerts has been cancelled, as headliners Vanilla Ice and Fab Morvan of Milli Vanilli have both promoted their involvement via social media amid the backlash. “Happy birthday America 250 years. It’s gonna be an epic party,” Vanilla Ice, 58, wrote via Instagram on Thursday, May 28. “This is to bring us all together. I’m tired of all the news channels dividing this country. We are all one.” Exclusives you can't get anywhere else We know you want Us, because you've made it this far.

Hockey World Stunned: Claude Lemieux's Tragic End New

Hockey World Stunned: Claude Lemieux's Tragic End

Hockey fans around the world are mourning the loss of Claude Lemieux, the four-time Stanley Cup champion who died on May 28, 2026, at age 60. The Palm Beach County Medical Examiner’s Office confirmed to Us Weekly that the NHL legend died by suicide at a family-owned furniture business in Florida — just three days after he was seen carrying the torch before a Montreal Canadiens playoff game. Lemieux’s death has sent shockwaves through the hockey community, with tributes pouring in from former teammates and family members. Keep scrolling for everything to know: Claude Lemieux’s Cause of Death According to a Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office spokesperson, Lemieux was found dead inside the Andros Home showroom on the 200 block of North Congress Avenue in Lake Park, Florida, at 3:23 a.m. ET on May 28, 2026. “The business was secured for evidence preservation/investigation by VCD Homicide,” the spokesperson told Us. “The victim is believed to be Claude Lemieux.” Per the medical examiner, Lemieux died by suicide and was found “in the rear warehouse by his son.” His family reportedly became concerned when he didn’t return home, prompting one of his three adult sons to check on him. It has not been disclosed which son made the discovery. Lemieux — who hailed from Buckingham, Quebec — spent the final years of his life living in West Palm Beach, Florida. Claude Lemieux’s Family Breaks Their Silence Lemieux is survived by his second wife, Deborah — whom he married in the Bahamas in the mid-1990s — along with his four children: sons Michael and Christopher from his first marriage and son Brendan and daughter Claudia with Deborah. Brendan was the first family member to publicly speak out. The athlete shared a recent photo with his father and his son, Luc, on Instagram. “I love you dad!” Brendan wrote. “My son’s favorite person is going to watch from above for a while. We will see you.” Claudia, who works as author Colleen Hoover’s assistant, broke her silence later that same day. “No words to express the level of devastation we feel,” Claudia wrote via her Instagram Story. “I love you forever daddy. Forever your only girl.” Inside Claude Lemieux’s Iconic NHL Career Lemieux played 21 seasons in the NHL from 1983 to 2009, suiting up for the Montreal Canadiens, New Jersey Devils, Colorado Avalanche, Phoenix Coyotes, Dallas Stars and San Jose Sharks. Known as both a fierce competitor and a clutch postseason performer, he won four Stanley Cup championships during his career. In 1,215 regular season games, Lemieux tallied 379 goals and 407 assists, along with 1,777 penalty minutes. According to NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman, Lemieux’s teams reached the playoffs for 15 straight seasons. His 234 postseason games rank sixth in league history, and his 80 career playoff goals rank ninth all time. After retiring as a player, Lemieux transitioned into a successful career as a sports agent, representing top NHL talent including the Detroit Red Wings’ Moritz Seider, the Devils’ Timo Meier, the Boston Bruins’ Hampus Lindholm and Carolina Hurricanes goalie Frederik Andersen. Claude Lemieux’s Final Public Appearance Just three days before his death, Lemieux made an emotional return to Montreal’s Bell Centre on May 25, 2026, where he served as the torchbearer before Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Finals between the Canadiens and Carolina Hurricanes. Claude Lemieux’s Family Plans to Donate His Brain for CTE Research On Saturday, May 30, Lemieux’s family released a statement confirming that they plan to donate his brain to the UNITE Brain Bank at the Boston University CTE Center for research into “the long-term effects of repetitive head impacts and traumatic brain injury.” The Lemieuxs noted that their donation is “a gift to science, to athletes and to future generations of families seeking answers.” (Per Mayo Clinic, chronic traumatic encephalopathy, or CTE, is a neurodegenerative brain disease that is linked to repeated head injuries. While the condition is “rare and not well understood,” research has strongly linked CTE to athletes and combat veterans.) “Claude dedicated his post-play career to helping the next generation,” his family said in a statement. “By allowing his name to be connected to this research, we hope his life can contribute to greater understanding, more honest conversations, and better protection for athletes and families in the years ahead.” The family also briefly touched on speculation about the “circumstances of Claude’s death.” “Suicide is complex, and the family asks media and the public to discuss this loss with care, compassion and respect for those who lost him,” they asked. Check our latest news in Google News Check our latest news in Apple News Details about a public memorial will be announced “at a later date,” according to the Lemieux family.

Erika Kirk Denies Rumors of New Relationship After Husband's Passing New

Erika Kirk Denies Rumors of New Relationship After Husband's Passing

Erika Kirk is shutting down rumors that she’s moved on with someone new less than one year after husband Charlie Kirk’s death.Erika, 37, took to X on Thursday, May 28, to respond to a report from Project Constitution claiming that the Turning Point USA CEO “has a new boyfriend” after she was allegedly spotted with Blake Wynn, the nephew of casino mogul Steve Wynn, at the Beverly Hills Hotel on May 14.“Every single word here is a lie,” Erika wrote. “Charlie’s love will last me a lifetime. The Lord is the only one who can ever fill that most painful void.”Erika denied being out with Blake in California, adding, “On May 14th, I was home in Arizona celebrating my son’s 2nd birthday. Blake (who is about to be engaged to his longtime gf) was a dear friend of my husband’s, and I am grateful for his continued support, just like hundreds of others.”Erika concluded by slamming the YouTuber who reported on the rumor.“Your deranged obsession with me and blatant disregard for any form of truth whatsoever is deeply disturbing, and I am praying you get the help you so clearly need,” she wrote. “Brush off the Dorito dust and go touch grass.”Erika’s post comes eight months after Charlie was shot and killed at age 31 during a TPUSA speaking engagement at Utah Valley University. Utah man Tyler Robinson was arrested and charged with aggravated murder, felony discharge of a firearm, obstruction of justice, witness tampering, victim targeting enhancement and violence committed in the presence of a child. He has not yet entered a plea. Robinson’s preliminary hearing is set to begin on July 6.Erika broke her silence on Charlie’s death days after the shooting.“Charlie loved life. He loved his life, he loved America, he loved nature which always helped him closer to God,” she said in a September 2025 livestream. “He loved the Chicago Cubs and my goodness did he love the Oregon Ducks.”Erika, who shared two children with Charlie, continued, “Most of all Charlie loved his children and he loved me with all of his heart and I knew that everyday. He made sure I knew that everyday. Everyday he would ask me, ‘How can I serve you better? How can I be a better husband? How can I be a better father?’ … He was a such a good man. He still is such a good man. He was the perfect father. He was the perfect husband.”Earlier this month, Erika celebrated what would have been her fifth wedding anniversary with Charlie.“Even though our kids won’t see our love ‘grow old together’ from an earthly stand point; they’ll see it from a Heavenly one,” she wrote via X on May 8. “And I’ll tell them of our love story any moment I can.”Erika concluded, “Happy Anniversary to the love of my life.”

Donald Trump Responds to Jaxson Dart's Backlash After Rally Introduction New

Donald Trump Responds to Jaxson Dart's Backlash After Rally Introduction

President Donald Trump has once again entered the spotlight as New York Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart faces criticism for introducing him at a recent political rally.In an interview on May 30 with Fox News Channel's My View With Lara Trump, Trump, 79, expressed admiration for Dart, saying, "I wish I looked just like Jaxson. He's a handsome guy and a conservative guy. He said, 'I love you, sir.' And I didn’t know he was doing it."Dart, 23, introduced Trump at a rally for Republican congressman Mike Lawler on May 22 in Suffern, New York, leading to immediate backlash online and among NFL players.Addressing the crowd, Dart said, "Big Blue nation, it’s a pleasure to be here. What an honor, what a privilege it is to be here, and without further ado, I’m grateful, I’m honored, I’m pleasured, to introduce the 45th and 47th president of the United States of America, President Donald J. Trump."Abdul Carter, a fellow 2025 first-round draft pick, reacted to Dart’s political stance on social media, expressing disbelief.During his conversation with Lara Trump, President Trump appeared unfazed by the controversy surrounding Dart."He’s potentially a great quarterback," Trump remarked. "He’s a young boy. He had just really started. But when he’s in a game, he moves the team. He’s got tremendous potential. He stays healthy, he’s going to be great. So when Jaxson gets… harassed a little bit, he’s also loved more, because we have more people than they do."Trump added, "And a lot of the people that you think, like people in Los Angeles, wealthy people that, I see them all the time, they’re hitting me a little bit, and they meet me and they say, sir, I voted for you. I said, I know, I can tell. Guys voted for me, I could tell you people on television that knocked me all the time voted for me."On May 29, Dart addressed the backlash, defending his decision to introduce the president at the rally."Obviously, this was a unique opportunity, being asked and given the opportunity to introduce the president of the United States," Dart told reporters. "My thinking was pretty simple, in the fact of, I’ve always loved this country. I have extended family members who have fought in wars. I have two uncles who have retired from the Air Force Academy and served themselves."He continued, "And I even have a great-grandfather who served as the Secretary of the Treasury at some point. The president position has always been a position that I have a lot of respect in, regardless of political affiliation, regardless of political party. My intentions were just that."

Search for TV Star Matt Brown Suspended—What Caused This Sudden Halt? New

Search for TV Star Matt Brown Suspended—What Caused This Sudden Halt?

Authorities have suspended the search for a man feared to be Alaskan Bush People star Matt Brown.“Search efforts to locate the male reported deceased in the Okanogan River continued through Friday 5/29/2026,” Sheriff Jodie Barcus said in an updated press release shared via the Office of the Okanogan County Sheriff’s official Facebook account on Saturday, May 30. “Deputies and Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife agent[s] used boats, personal watercraft, sonar and divers to search an expanding area near the last location the male was seen.”The press release continued, “A canine from Spokane, trained in detection of human remains, was deployed and implements were used to drag the river bottom. The male has not been located; no signs of the male have been located.”According to authorities, the weather became progressively worse, impeding search efforts to the point they had to be called off until further notice.“During the day of search efforts, the river conditions deteriorated and hampered search efforts,” the press release said. “After rainfall from the previous night, the river level and river current speed increased. The active river flow increases the likelihood that the male has not remained near the location last seen.”Authorities added, “The search has been suspended due to dangerous river conditions and pending information to focus on search efforts.”Brown’s family members are worried he is the deceased man, according to Matt’s brother, Bear Brown, who took to TikTok on Thursday, May 29, to address multiple, unidentified witnesses’ claims that Matt, 49, was seen floating in the river.“I have some really bad news about Matt that I wanted to share with you all guys,” Bear said in the social media upload. “But I wanted to start out by saying that I can’t confirm that it’s 100 percent true right now, but it is what I’m hearing.”Bear went on to claim that his brother has been “struggling for a long time” with “alcohol and with drugs and stuff.”“He has other issues and stuff, too,” he alleged. “He has done a lot of stuff that people, like, don’t even know about.”TMZ first reported that the Okanogan County Sheriff’s Office received a call on Wednesday, May 27, to report a man sitting in the shallow waters of the Okanogan River in Washington state. The anonymous caller looked away and when they turned back because of a sound, the man was allegedly lying face down in the river and being swept away by the current.On Saturday, authorities reiterated that “the identity of the male is not confirmed” and it will not be publicly released until next of kin is notified.“The family is not sure what to believe right now. They are not sure where Matt is but they are hoping that he is OK and that the information is wrong,” a source close to the family told Us Weekly on Friday, May 29. “They are all in contact and speaking to police and waiting to hear. They have had their issues [with Matt] and Gabe has been the person most in contact with him.”
