Paramore concert stopped because a couple wouldn't stop 'fighting'
Paramore were playing at Madison Square Garden when they were forced to stop the entire concert to deal with a couple fighting and pushing in the crowd. Singer Hayley Williams stepped in while performing on Tuesday (May 30) as the lights came up during the show. The pop rock group were performing the track ‘This Is Why’ when Williams observed a disturbance among the audience. The moment was captured by Tiktoker @madblackbimbo as two fans were seen pushing their way towards the stage. Sign up to our free Indy100 weekly newsletter Members of the crowd can be seen trying to push back at the pair, with people around them pointing to the band and alerting them to the situation. @madblackbimbo Kicked out of a paramore show in 4K?! Hayley Latisha Williams dont play like that; BFFR! 🤣 #paramore #thisiswhy #paramoreconcert #msg #madisonsquaregarden #nyc #newyork #newyorkcity #hayleywilliams #figure8 Then, the music stopped and Williams shouted at them: “Holy s***! F*** you!” The crowd parts and the couple can be seen, with Williams saying: “I will embarrass both of you.” The singer, 34, added: “Both of you need to find somewhere else to take care of that s*** because it’s not happening here.” Williams then explains that ‘This Is Why’ is a song the band love performing live, clearly frustrated that the show had to be stopped for the pair. We imagine that was a pretty awkward car journey home for both of them after that… The comments section was full of people showing support for Williams and the band, with the video poster writing: “He was not going for his gf. He was being aggressive the entire night & shoving and fighting with everyone and that was the final straw for us all lol.” “i was in the nosebleeds and i could not stop thinking [about] this thank you for posting,” another fan wrote.

'This Morning scandal' compared to a Quentin Tarantino movie as drama continues
Piers Morgan has waded into the ongoing controversy surrounding the ITV show This Morning following the abrupt departure of Phillip Schofield and compared the drama to a Quentin Tarantino movie. The daytime tv show has been rocked by a series of allegations in recent weeks which started with claims that long-term hosts Schofield and Holly Willoughby were no longer talking to each other behind the scenes. Things came to a head on 20th May when Schofield announced that he would be departing the show after 25 years at the helm. On May 26th, Schofield then issued a statement stating that he had "lied to his colleagues" and during his time on the show was involved in a "consensual on-off relationship with a younger male colleague." Sign up to our free Indy100 weekly newsletter Willoughby then countered this by releasing her own statement which said that it was "hurtful" that she had been lied to as she had questioned Schofield about the relationship rumours. Rumours have since persisted that the culture on the show was 'toxic' with Dr Ranj Singh saying that he had grown "increasingly worried" during his time on the program. Schofield has since claimed that there was "no toxicity" on the set of This Morning something that was reiterated on air by stand-in hosts Alison Hammond and Dermot O'Leary on Monday's edition of the show. With the dust still settling on the situation former Good Morning Britain host Piers Morgan said his two cents on the matter. On Twitter, the 58-year-old wrote: "I fear we’re now entering the Reservoir Dogs phase of the This Morning scandal… and it could end up with a lot of corpsed careers." In case you are unaware, Reservoir Dogs was Tarantino's first movie from 1992 and features a gang of criminals all trying to violently outwit each other after a bank heist goes wrong. It remains to be seen what the future holds for This Morning and all those involved in the show but we sincerely hope that it isn't anything like the bloody finale of Reservoir Dogs. That being said if someone did want to direct a movie about the This Morning drama then Tarantino would be our first pick. Have your say in our news democracy.

7 times Black Mirror predicted the future
Black Mirror is returning to our screens for a new series in June - get hyped. It has been four years since fans of the dystopian drama were last treated to a taste of the anthology TV series and 12 since it first aired in the UK so safe to say, its return has been long awaited. But since it first graced our screens in 2011, a lot has changed in the world. Sign up to our free Indy100 weekly newsletter Life has often imitated art and Black Mirror now seems less of a dystopia and more of a documentary. Especially in these seven instances where the show was just a bit too on the nose... 1. PM has sex with a pig In season one of the show, a kidnapper demands that the prime minister, Michael Callow, has sex with a pig on live television to secure the safe return of a British royal family member. While this certainly did not happen in real life, it sounded a bit like Piggate - a claim that surfaced in 2015 that, during his university years, former prime minister David Cameron inserted his penis into a dead pig's mouth at a party. 2. People ride bikes for tokens In another season two classic, Black Mirror writer Charlie Brooker imagines a world where people ride stationary bikes for a virtual currency used to buy essentials. Today in Paris's station Gare Du Nord, people can ride bikes to generate power to charge their phones while they wait for their trains. 3. AI versions of deceased loved ones In season two episode Be Right Back, a woman brings her dead boyfriend back to life (kind of) by getting an android version of him, which learns his speech patterns by using his social media posts and online communications Last year Amazon revealed an experimental Alexa feature that allows the app to mimic the voices of users' dead relatives. 4. Joke politicians go viral The Waldo Moment sees a satirical computer-animated bear become a politician. Now we could resort to some rubbish satire of our own and say all the politicians we have in the House of Commons are no better than cartoon bears but that would be cheap. What is the case is that joke candidates like Count Binface and other representatives from the Monster Raving Loony Party frequently outperform fringe candidates in by-elections that take place in the UK nowadays. 5. People rate their social interactions In season three, an episode called Nosedive sees people rate all of their social interactions on a five-star scale which then go on to form a person's socioeconomic status. This is quite similar to people rating each other on Uber and swiping across each other on dating apps like Hinge and Bumble if you ask us. Black Mirror | Nosedive Featurette [HD] | Netflix www.youtube.com 6. Tracking health through tablets In Arkangel, a season four episode, Marie implants her three-year-old daughter with an Arkangel system which monitors her health, vision and hearing via a tablet computer. It is not too dissimilar to the rise of Apple Watches and FitBits which people use to obsess over their resting heart rate, sleep score and step count. 7. The rise of dating apps In Hang the DJ, people use an electronic device called "Coach" which chooses their partners and the duration of their relationship. Nowadays there is always a new dating app every other week promising to find people love and happiness in different ways. So it is safe to say Black Mirror really had its finger on the pulse when envisioning a not-too-distant future. We can't wait to see what phenomena the next few episodes will predict.

Jack Whitehall muted on final Soccer AM after making Rolf Harris and Rupert Murdoch joke
The final ever episode of Soccer AM descended into chaos on Saturday after comedian Jack Whitehall made a series of jokes about the Royal Family, Rolf Harris and Ruper Murdoch. The long-running football-themed magazine show was cancelled by its broadcaster Sky earlier this year bringing to an end its nearly 30-year spell on the network. Much like most of the show's history the final episode went out with a bang and a minor bit of controversy. The guest for the final episode included rapper Stormzy, actor Stephen Graham and the aforementioned Whitehall as well as presenters John 'Fenners' Fendley and ex-professional footballer Jimmy Bullard. Speaking to the panel, Whitehall flirted with controversy and was briefly muted when he began making jokes about Sky's owner Rupert Murdoch, the Royal Family and disgraced sex offender Rolf Harris, who died earlier this week from cancer aged 93. Sign up to our free Indy100 weekly newsletter After being asked about the Royal Honours list Whitehall said: "Every year, the amount of brown-nosing I’ve done with that royal family! Also, I’d take anything, I’d have the one’s they stripped off Rolf.” The joke prompted audible gasps from the audience and crew and Bullard, laughing, stood up and walked off camera. Whitehall then attempted to defend himself adding: "Oh come on Jimmy! It’s the last show, let’s go out with a bang! It’s the end of term!” The 34-year-old stand up then appeared to go a bit too far for the production team and appeared to be muted while making a reference to Rupert Murdoch, which judging by Stephen Graham's face was a bit risque. Whitehall has referenced the controversy. In a tweet, he wrote: "Do not go gentle into that good night. #SoccerAm So much love for this show. This felt like a fitting send-off for me - I think over the years I’ve been muted more than any guest. Saturday mornings won’t be the same!" Have your say in our news democracy.

The 40 best Succession quotes and insults ever
Since 2019 the world of television has been obsessed with one family whose in-fighting and postering put the Kardashians to shame. The Roy family, the central focus of the drama series Succession has become one of, if not the most dysfunctional family in television history as they all attempt to heir to their father's media mogul legacy. Logan, Kendall, Roman, Shiv, Connor, Tom, Greg, Gerri, Matsson and everyone in between have given television lovers hours of nail-biting tension combined with the type of jet-black humour that could only come from a show that is parodying the likes of Fox News and Rupert Murdoch. Although Succession is a show about high-end business deals full of financial and technical jargon that often requires a handbook to translate, creator Jesse Armstrong has managed to make what sounds like a niche premise one of the funniest dramas on television in the past 10 years. Sign up to our free Indy100 weekly newsletter Beneath their rich and privileged lifestyles, the characters of Succession are scathing, back-stabbing snakes who will gladly say the most repugnant things to their loved ones. It's a peculiarity of the show which has made it so unique and beloved by viewers and now with the last ever episode on the horizon and the stakes hanging in the balance now is as good a time as any to look back at some of the best, funniest and downright despicable quotes from the past four seasons. 1. Tom: “Greg, this is not f**king Charles Dickens World, okay? You don’t go around talking about principles. Man the f**k up!” 2. Gil: “You can’t make a Tomelette without breaking some Gregs.” 3. Matsson: [speaking to Greg] “I thought you were the backwash at the bottom of the gene pool, but this is something else.” 4. Kendall: [speaking to Greg] “You little Machiavellian f**k.” 5. Roman: "My mom’s getting remarried to a bowl of porridge.” 6. Gerri: [speaking to Roman] "You’re pathetic. You are a revolting little worm, aren’t you? You little slime puppy.” 7. Willa: "Hey, listen. At least I’m only getting f**ked by one member of this family, yeah?” 8. Greg: [speaking to Tom] “What am I gonna do with a soul anyways?” 9. Connor: "The good thing about having a family that doesn’t love you is you learn to live without it." 10. Logan: "Well, we do publish a number of popular newspapers, so yes, son. We probably invented the f**king words." 11. Roman: “Frank! It hasn’t been the same without you. It’s been better.” 12. Shiv: [speaking to Roman] "You love showing your pee-pee to everyone, but someday, you know, you’re actually gonna have to fuck something.” 13. Logan: [speaking to Kendall] "You're not a killer." 14. Kendall: "Who said I didn't kill anyone?" 15. Logan: [speaking about Tom] "He ate my f**king chicken. What’s next? Stick his c**k in my potato salad?" 16. Greg: "It’s like Jaws. If everyone in Jaws worked for Jaws.” 17. Tom: [speaking about Greg's date] “She’s brought a ludicrously capacious bag. What’s even in there? Flat shoes for the subway? Her lunch pail?” 18. Roman: "What the fuck is this obsession with milk? You know who drinks milk? Kittens and perverts.” 19. Tom: [speaking to Greg] "I'd castrate you and marry you in a heartbeat." 20. Logan: [speaking to his children] "I love you but you are not serious people." 21. Greg: "I was wondering, just, in your view do you think it’s possible to sue a person, a grandparent for example, in a way which is like… like in an affectionate way?" 22. Marcia: "I have fought and I have lost. And I have fought and won. But when I lose, the other one will generally lose an eye or a soul." 23. Roman: "Just wanted to let you know, new dad just dropped." 24. Tom: "You don’t hear much about syphilis these days. Very much the MySpace of STDs.” 25. Logan: "Romulus, when you laugh, please do it at the same volume as everyone else. We didn’t get you from a hyena farm." 26. Greg: [speaking to Logan] "Negotiate a bit of a Grexit." 27. Roman: “What I think he meant to say was that he wished that Mom gave birth to a can opener, because at least then it would be useful.” 28. Hugo: [Speaking to Shiv] “What’s it like being married to a man with two a**holes?” 29. Logan: "He’s selling me things I want at a fair price. So what’s next? Fellatio?” 30. Tom: "Sure. Although he did once call me the c*nt of Monte Cristo." 31. Shiv: "She’s one of the hard b**ches, right? She’s going to do 36 hours of maternity leave, emailing through her vanity caesarean.” 32. Greg: “If it is to be said, so it be, so it is.” 33. Ewan: “The ‘Logan Roy School of Journalism’? What’s next, the ‘Jack The Ripper Women’s Health Clinic’?” 34. Kendall: [singing] "L to the OG/ Dude be the OG/ A-N he playing/ Playing like a pro" 35. Gerri: "They’re young and they’re fit, but they’re European. They’re soft; hammocked in their social security safety net, sick on vacation mania and free healthcare. They may think they’re Vikings but we’ve been raised by wolves, exposed to a pathogen that goes by the name of Logan Roy, and they have no idea what’s coming to them.” 36. Connor: "It’s kind of a greeting card from hell. It’s a Times New Roman firing squad." 37. Roman: "I heard it looked like a cry for help. 'The Dance of the Sugar Plum Failure'." 38. Tom: "I don't mean to be insulting, but having been around a bit, my hunch is that you are going to get f**ked because I've seen you get f**ked a lot. And I've never seen Logan get f**ked once." 39. Greg: "I'm more than a sprinkle." 40. Logan: "F**k off" Have your say in our news democracy. Click the upvote icon at the top of the page to help raise this article through the indy100 rankings.

Barbie fans emotional at small detail in new trailer
With the release of another Barbie movie trailer, fans are getting excited - and couldn't help but notice something they believe to be a heartfelt detail to the doll's origins. In the new preview, viewers got to see more of what Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling’s Barbie and Ken get up to when they end up in the real world, far from their home in Barbie Land. But there is a brief moment near the end of the trailer that has everyone talking. It features Barbie sitting on a park bench and sharing a smile with a mystery woman sat next to her. Sign up to our free Indy100 weekly newsletter In this scene, the voiceover said: “Humans only have one ending. Ideas are forever.” Viewers who watched the trailer with subtitles noticed how the quote is attributed to a character named Ruth. So, many believe that the mystery woman is actually meant to represent the inventor of the iconic doll, Ruth Handler who passed away back in 2002. Handler created Barbie back in 1959 and with her husband Elliot Handler. She was the co-founder of Mattel toys which in turn Barbie became one of the most recognisable dolls ever. Fans quickly took to Twitter to share this presumption - although this has not been confirmed and some have noted Rhea Perlman is part of the cast but her role has not be revealed yet although some believe the voiceover did sound like her. Meanwhile, the lineup for the movie soundtrack was also announced with music from Dua Lipa, Lizzo, Charli XCX, and even Ken himself as Ryan Gosling being list. In addition Nicki Minaj and Ice Spice have made a new version of AQUA's “Barbie Girl,” which can be briefly heard in the trailer. Barbie directed by Greta Gerwig is set to be release in cinemas on Friday 21 July. Have your say in our news democracy.

Whoopi Goldberg had this to say to ‘snowflakes’ upset about Target's Pride displays and drag shows
As the “culture war” over drag queens, LGBT+ pride and transgender rights continues in America, actor and TV personality Whoopi Goldberg has waded into the discourse to slam “snowflakes” over Target being forced to remove Pride displays in its stores due to violent threats. The US retail giant issued a statement on Wednesday to say it would remove certain items “at the centre of the most significant confrontational behaviour” which was impacting staff’s “sense of safety and wellbeing”. Offering her take on ABC’s The View, the Sister Act actor responded to comments from fellow panellist Alyssa Farah Griffin and said: “I’m sorry, I don’t know what controversial means, having been called controversial for most of my career the last 40 years. “People decide what’s controversial and they point. You know, they say, ‘oh, you got that on your shirt’. You don’t know what this is, and you’ve made a decision about it. “I’m all for protecting the folks [at Target], I don’t know if they called the cops, maybe they did and they felt this was the right way. I am sick of people moving my desires, because their desires are not being met in some way. “I am sick of people telling me I can’t go to a drag show. I am sick of people telling me that my friends are different because you don’t understand them. I’m sick of it.” Sign up to our free Indy100 weekly newsletter Goldberg went on to add that “this is America” and that people are “supposed to be able to be whoever you are”, to loud applause from the audience. She added: “Stop with all this stuff. You want to talk about snowflakes? Who are the snowflakes, really?” Sunny Hostin chipped in: “The people scared of a [Pride] flag.” Goldberg continued: “The people scared of a flag, the people scared of a drag brunch. It’s a brunch! It’s a brunch!” “I’m getting really tired of this and I’m trying not to say any bad words.” The LGBT+ campaigner has since been praised for her remarks: Last week Goldberg made headlines with Michael J Fox, when the Back to the Future star revealed he turned down the chance to work with the actor on the hit movie Ghost. “I said, ‘Whoopi’s great, but it’ll never work.’ And then it was great and huge, and I’m a f***ing idiot,” he said.
