Prince Harry looked ‘dejected,’ ‘distracted by phone’ at Beyonce’s concert in LA

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 14:06:39 GMT

Beyoncé has been earning rave reviews for most of her performances on her “Renaissance” world tour, but at least one notable audience member at her Los Angeles show Friday night appeared less than enthused in photos posted on social media.That’s Prince Harry, who attended the show at SoFi Stadium with his wife, Meghan Markle, and her mother, Doria Ragland. The Duke of Sussex, his wife and mother-in-law enjoyed seats in a VIP box. While Markle and Ragland seemed to be having a great time, up off their feet and dancing and waving their arms, Harry “seemed more subdued and distracted by his phone,” TMZ reported, citing reports from eyewitnesses.“Some observers even said Harry looked disinterested and dejected” — for at least part of the show, TMZ added. One social media user posted a photo of the group in their VIP box on X. The photo showed Harry standing, but it appeared he did so grudgingly. The son of King Charles III, dressed in a silver gray ja...

Big-spending Chelsea humbled in home loss to Forest. Haaland and Son score hat tricks

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 14:06:39 GMT

LONDON (AP) — Half a billion dollars spent on new signings and Chelsea still looks like a team badly in need of reinforcements. Chelsea lost at home to Nottingham Forest 1-0 in the English Premier League on Saturday, a day after closing the summer transfer window by taking its spending past the $500 million mark with the addition of Cole Palmer. Record signing Moises Caicedo was partly at fault for the goal, giving the ball away cheaply before Anthony Elanga tapped in a cross from Taiwo Awoniyi in the 48th minute. Fellow newcomer Nicolas Jackson was held scoreless for the third time in four matches and Chelsea’s attack looked toothless again. Mauricio Pochettino has overseen two losses, one draw and just one win against promoted Luton for an underwhelming start to the season. Chelsea’s lack of a scoring threat was even more noticeable when Manchester City’s Erling Haaland and Tottenham’s Son Heung-min both scored hat tricks in big wins. City maintained its pe...

MONZA, Italy (AP) — Carlos Sainz Jr. was enjoying a perfect birthday weekend so far after he secured pole position for the Italian Grand Prix to the delight of the Ferrari tifosi on Saturday.Thousands of red-clad Ferrari fans cheered as Sainz, who turned 29 on Friday, crossed the line 0.013 seconds quicker than runaway Formula One leader Max Verstappen, who is chasing a record 10th straight victory on Sunday.“Tell me we have it, tell me we have it,” Sainz yelled into race radio after beating Verstappen’s time on his final flying lap.The roars from the grandstands should have confirmed it.It was his fourth career pole and first since Austin last year.

Only Leclerc has converted his pole position into a S...

Police officer praised for reviving baby during traffic stop in suburban Detroit

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 14:06:39 GMT

WARREN, Mich. (AP) — A suburban Detroit police officer is being praised as a hero for saving the life of an 18-month-old boy after he stopped a car for speeding.Warren Police Department Officer Brenden Fraser was watching for distracted drivers Tuesday when he stopped a Chevrolet Camaro going an estimated 75-80 mph (120-129 kilometers per hour).“We got a baby in here dying!” the boy’s mother told him.Fraser saw the baby was turning blue and his eyes had rolled back.“I look inside, and there’s a child that’s having some kind of medical emergency when the uncle hands him over to me,” said Fraser. “He had spit and all types of saliva around his mouth. It looked like he was maybe choking, so I put him on my forearm, and I administered a couple of back blows to him when I felt some saliva and vomit fall onto my arm.”That got the boy breathing again.“Watching it now, it’s kind of overwhelming, but in the moment there’s really not much thought other than relying on the training,” Fra...
