How to Get Beyoncé Tickets
Beyoncé is no stranger to packing stadiums, but the Houston native took a break from live performances after wrapping up the Renaissance Tour last fall, meaning the Ravens vs. Texans game will be the only chance to see her perform live before the year ends.
Game day tickets are available at SeatGeek, Vivid Seats, StubHub, TicketNetwork, GameTime and Ticketmaster. Prices range from approximately $243 at StubHub, $238 at SeatGeek and as low as $219 via Vivid Seats. The most expensive seats can cost you anywhere from $375 to more than $1,900.
If you happen to miss out on tickets to the game, there are a few passes left for the Premium Tailgate Party hosted by Tailgating Hall of Fame. The party starts at 11:30 a.m. local time.
No matter how you watch, whether it’s at home, a watch party or in person, the performance will be a treat for fans. The halftime set will reportedly include “special guests” featured on Cowboy Carter.
Released in March, Beyoncé’s eighth studio album earned 11 Grammy nominations including album of the year and country album of the year. This latest round of Grammy nods brings Beyoncé’s total to 99 – the most nominations of any artist in history.

Mike Tyson and Jake Paul entered the ring at AT&T Stadium on Friday (November 15) with tons of hype, pre-fight shenanigans, and a healthy undercard of exciting fights that streamed live on Netflix. With the main event concluded, Jake Paul emerged victorious but Mike Tyson didn’t exactly provide much resistance from the vantage point of boxing fans.
Mike Tyson, 58, and Jake Paul, 27, came into the ring with a lot of fanfare. In the early goings, the age difference didn’t appear to be a factor, with Iron Mike showing flashes of the brilliance from his heyday. Paul, as many have noted, has some actual skill and good footwork, using slick jabs and looping hooks that kept Tyson reacting.

Tyson tagged Paul with a couple of strong hooks and peppered him with a stinging jab but the YouTube star still managed to press the action for the most part. In the later rounds, fatigue seemingly set in for both fighters with Paul visibly breathing with his mouth open and his jab all but disappearing until the final seconds of the two-minute rounds.
Again, we should stress that there is a 31-year age gap between these two fighters but Tyson didn’t get mopped and even tagged Paul with some heavier shots that, if he were 31 years younger, would’ve had more pepper in them. It appeared that neither fighter was willing to go out on their shield and stuck to conservative game plans.
Near the conclusion of the eight-round match, Paul honored Tyson by bowing to him and the pair showed respect for one another during an embrace in the center of the ring. Paul could be seen saying words to an attentive Tyson, with both men bearing the look of exhaustion.

Netflix is most likely the most watched streaming service in the world right now due to the upcoming super fight between Mike Tyson and Jake Paul from the AT&T Stadium in Texas. However, viewers on the X platform say Netflix has to get its servers together after heavy complaints of buffering on the social media website.
Netflix, which has done live events in the past, snagged one of the top sports gets this year with the Mike Tyson and Jake Paul fight. The decision to air the bout live isn’t outside the streamer’s wheelhouse but on Friday (November 15), it was clear that the service probably didn’t factor in the load it would put on the backend.
A quick scan of X shows users complaining that their screens have stopped moving, the clarity of the images is inadequate, the audio sounds choppy, and largely everything looks as if it’s running on a dial-up modem.
Boxing legends Evander Holyfield, Lennox Lewis, Cedric The Entertainer, and Rosie Perez are among the several stars in the building offering commentary and feedback on the fight, with Lewis saying that Paul is going to be running scared once he eyes Tyson across from him.

Mike Tyson and Jake Paul will be locking horns in the squared circle Friday night (November 15) in a bout that will draw plenty of views as the former heavyweight champion takes on a much younger fighter. During the mandatory faceoff for photo opportunities, Mike Tyson gave Jake Paul a little smack on the cheek to let him know what will be in store for tonight.
Mike Tyson and Jake Paul were in Texas at the weigh-in ahead of their super fight bout that will be held at the AT&T Stadium, which will air live on Netflix. As custom for most combat sporting events, Tyson and Paul greeted each other in the stare-down segment after the weigh-in with all the theatrics fighters used to intimidate or size up their opponents.
In a video clip that has since gone viral, Paul rushed Tyson and crowded his space, prompting Iron Mike to unleash five fingers to the face in yet another slap heard around the world. The pair were quickly separated with a smiling Paul mocking Tyson at the moment.
According to a report from ESPN, a Tyson insider claims that Paul stepped on Tyson’s foot during the faceoff and had enough of the trash talk with the footstepping being a final straw.
For what it’s worth, Tyson, 58, weighed in at a fit 233 pounds with Paul, 27, weighing in at 220. To date, this is the largest gap in age between two fighters in professional boxing history.
Tyson, who boasts a record of 50-6 with 44 knockouts, has not fought professionally in 19 years. Tyson has participated in a pair of exhibition fights, including clashing with Roy Jones Jr. Paul’s last fight came last July with a sixth-round stoppage of Mike Perry by TKO.
The Friday night bout between “Iron” Mike Tyson and Jake Paul kicks off on Netflix at 8 PM EST. Learn more here.

It’s been a few years since the fourth season of Stranger Things left us wondering how the series would conclude. Though we still have no idea how the kids in Hawkins, Indiana, will stop the Upside Down from running rampant across our reality, Netflix has dropped a new teaser trailer for the upcoming final season of the popular show.
No actual scenes from the forthcoming fifth season of the show were shown, but the teaser trailer does reveal the upcoming titles of each episode. Judging from that alone we’re going to be in for quite the ride. Coming in eight episodes strong the titles are as follows: “The Crawl,” “The Vanishing of…,” “The Turnbow Trap,” “Sorcerer,” “Shock Jock,” “Escape From Camazotz,” “The Bridge,” and “The Rightside Up.”
While these titles don’t give away much we can at least expect a lot of heart-pounding scenarios in which our young heroes will find themselves in life and death situations. According to Variety, some titles may suggest familiar scenarios.
Per Variety:
Some of these titles allude to earlier episodes: “The Vanishing of…” — revealed with the name fully obscured — invokes the series premiere “The Vanishing of Will Byers.” Fans online have already speculated that the new abductee could be Holly Wheeler, the younger sister of Mike (Finn Wolfhard) who was reportedly recast with “Evil Dead Rise” actor Nell Fisher, but Netflix has not officially confirmed.
The Season 1 finale was titled “The Upside Down,” the name of the phantasmagoric alternate dimension connected to Hawkins, so it is fitting that the series finale title, “The Rightside Up,” is the reverse. And the penultimate episode title, “The Bridge,” evokes curious titles like Season 4’s “The Piggyback” and Season 2’s “The Gate.”
Should be interesting to see how the series comes to an end after eight years of build-up.
The final season of Stranger Things will hit Netflix sometime in 2025. What do you expect to see unfold when it’s all said and done? Let us know in the comments section below.

It has been months since rumors circled that Colman Domingo was being eyed to replace Jonathan Majors as Kang The Conqueror in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and while that’s still a possibility, the man is keeping himself busy with new and interesting projects.
On Tuesday (Oct. 29), Netflix dropped a new trailer to its new original series, The Madness, which stars Colman Domingo as political media pundit, Muncie Daniels, who finds himself accused of a murder he didn’t commit. After witnessing the murder of an infamous white supremacist (not Trump), Daniels is framed for the killing and can only rely on himself to clear his name while delving into the crazy conspiracy behind the crime.
Of course they’d frame a Black man for the murder of a white supremacist. Watch ya back out there Don Lemon!
According to Hypebeast, Domingo will be joined by the likes of Marsha Stephanie Blake, John Ortiz, Gabrielle Graham and Tamsin Topolski.
The Clement Virgo-directed series will be an eight-episode thrill ride that’s sure to have twists and turns at every angle. So y’all better buckle up because Colman Domingo don’t be signing up for no lame ish.
Per Hypebeast:
“Everything about this conspiracy thriller excited me. It was a unique protagonist, one that I had never seen or experienced,” Domingo told Netflix. “Someone who has very centrist beliefs, and now they’re being thrust into the world to really hard-core believe in something and to reexamine the people that they believed were possible enemies. You realize you have more in common with them than you thought you had in the beginning.”
“I think it says a lot about who we are now and what we’re willing to do, and also to look at who’s really pulling the strings and for whose benefit.”
The Madness premiers on Netflix Nov. 28. Check out the trailer and let us know if you’ll be checking for it come next month in the comments below.

It’s been more than a year since the sudden passing of legendary TV host Jerry Springer, and while many youngn’s wouldn’t understand why he’s held in such high regard among the older generation, they’ll be able to get an idea as to why he was beloved as a new documentary is set to release in the new year.
According to Variety, Netflix is set to release a two-part documentary dubbed Jerry Springer: Fights, Camera, Action, which is set to release Jan. 7, 2025. The documentary will delve into how Jerry Springer went from a reporter at a local television station to hosting one of the most ratchet and entertaining talk shows of the 90s. It. Was. Amazing. Kids used to skip school, watch the show and risk getting “Cutting Cards” sent to their homes, but y’all youngn’s wouldn’t know anything about that.
The Hollywood Reporter reports:
Per Netflix, the “jaw-dropping” doc will feature “first-hand testimony and revelations from show insiders,” as well as interviews with producers and former guests who help uncover “a murkier picture” of “The Jerry Springer Show” and “the destruction it caused.”
“Fights, Camera, Action” promises to raise “renewed questions about who was responsible, and how far things should go in the name of entertainment.”
“The Jerry Springer Show” ran for 27 seasons, from 1991 to 2018, and became popular due to its trashy, unfiltered approach to controversial topics such as incest, racism and adultery. The guests were characteristically rowdy, often breaking out into fist fights and screaming matches, broken up by security guards. It also became a trend for women in the audience to flash their breasts in exchange for “Jerry Beads,” Mardi Gras-style necklaces with the show’s logo.
Again: It. Was. Amazing.
While most people felt it was staged, scripted and rehearsed, none of that mattered. It was junk food for the brain and we indulged in it every time.

One of the most anticipated sporting events of the year is almost here. Netflix has released the trailer for the upcoming Jake Paul versus Mike Tyson fight.
As spotted on Variety Magazine the streaming platform has kicked off their promotional efforts for the main event. The almost two-minute clip opens up with a panoramic external shot of AT&T Stadium then quickly cuts two both fighters in the ring. Both Jake Paul and Mike Tyson look very focused as they await the first bell. From there we get some footage of each fighter’s past bouts including Paul’s dismantling of Nate Diaz and Iron Mike’s signature right hook that forced Michael Spinks to lean back. The trailer ends with both brawlers finally meeting at the middle of the ring ready to swing on each other.
Announced on March 7, the bout was originally scheduled for July 20 but was postponed due to Tyson suffering an ulcer problem while traveling. The former heavyweight champion of the world confirmed that this bout will actually be an exhibition match thus the results would not impact their respective professional records. This is not the first time the two would appear at the same event. When Mike Tyson fought Roy Jones Jr. back in 2020, Jake Paul defeated Nate Robinson on the undercard.
The Jake Paul versus Mike Tyson fight will stream on Netflix on November 15 at 8 PM EST / 5PM PST. You can see the official trailer below.

It only took 30 years, but Will Smith and Michael Bay are finally working together again.
Spotted on Variety and first reported by Deadline, Will Smith and Michael Bay will reunite for the upcoming Netflix action film Fast and Loose.
According to the website, Fast and Loose will follow a man, played by Smith, who wakes up in Tijuana with no memories. As he works to regain his memory, he learns that he has been living a double life as a crime kingpin and an undercover CIA agent.
The upcoming project marks the first time Smith and Bay have worked together since 1995’s box office blockbuster Bad Boys, which also starred Martin Lawrence and went on to spawn three successful sequels.
Speaking of Lawrence, the actor/comedian joked on X, formerly Twitter, “Don’t forget about ya boy.”
Variety notes that Jon Hoeber, Erich Hoeber, Chris Bremner, and Eric Pearson will work on the script with Smith, Kelly McCormick, and David Leitch for 87North, serving as producers.
Jon Mone and Ryan Shimazaki are in negotiations to produce for Westbrook Studios.
Since Bad Boys, Smith has become one of Hollywood’s biggest names. He won an Acadmey Award for his portrayal of Richard Williams in King Richard and starred in Apple’s Emancipation in 2022. He is set to star in the long-awaited sequel to I Am Legend alongside Michael B. Jordan and Sony Pictures’ sci-fi thriller Resistor.
Michael Bay has been busy blowing things up on screen in blockbuster Transformers live-action films and has sat in the director’s chair for other high-action films like Pearl Harbor and Ambulance.

Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson has offered relentless commentary regarding the ongoing legal issues that Sean “Diddy” Combs faces, and now is set to bring forth a new docuseries centered on the mogul. Partnering with Netflix, 50 Cent is putting forth the series with Alexandria Stapleton directing.
In an exclusive report from Variety, 50 Cent — who promised late last year that a documentary of sorts was coming soon — will work with Netflix for the as-of-yet untitled docuseries. In a statement from Jackson and Stapleton, the pair are looking to examine the decades of Diddy’s reign in music and uncover the root of the serious allegations he faces.
From Variety:
“This is a story with significant human impact. It is a complex narrative spanning decades, not just the headlines or clips seen so far,” 50 Cent and Stapleton said in an exclusive statement to Variety. “We remain steadfast in our commitment to give a voice to the voiceless and to present authentic and nuanced perspectives. While the allegations are disturbing, we urge all to remember that Sean Combs’ story is not the full story of hip-hop and its culture. We aim to ensure that individual actions do not overshadow the culture’s broader contributions.”
The docuseries will be executive produced by 50 Cent’s G-Unit Film & Television alongside Stapleton’s House of Nonfiction company. Texas Crew Productions are also named as producers of the docuseries. It was reported that proceeds from the film will go towards assisting victims of sexual assault.
A release date will be forthcoming.
