Renaissance: A Film by Beyoncé is both concert film and documentary about the recent world tour.

Beyoncé’s album Renaissance drew on generations’ worth of Black and queer dance music — and the subsequent tour packed stadiums with an epic, lavish spectacle. Now, with the new concert film and documentary Renaissance: A Film by Beyoncé, she shows the work that went into putting on the tour while also providing a sense of her journey as a highly driven artist.
Jonathan Majors‘ ex-girlfriend, Grace Jabbari, says she decided to attend a stranger’s birthday bash instead of returning home to the apartment she shared with him … after he allegedly struck her in a cab in March.
During sworn testimony before a jury in an NYC courtroom Tuesday, Jabbari claimed she made her escape from an SUV taking them over the Manhattan Bridge … seeking refuge at a bar with strangers who came to her aid after the alleged physical altercation with the actor.

“I didn’t want to be alone at that point,” she told jurors … elaborating, “I was just trying to suppress the sadness. I felt sad so deeply in my heart. But, I was also really grateful for these three people who had saved me.”
She said she bought her 3 new friends a bottle of champagne as a thank you, and also danced.
She said she had “some shots of tequila” as well. She said she began icing her finger at the bar because she knew she’d wake up in considerable pain the next morning.
Video footage of the alleged cab incident was presented in the courtroom … where Majors was observed getting out of the car and pushing Jabbari back in … before she got out and chased him down the street.
According to Jabbari, the fight broke out after she saw a text from a woman named “Cleopatra” in the cab.
She claims that when she tried to take the phone, she experienced a “heavy thud” as he tried to take it back … resulting in her finger and arm being twisted.
“He was trying to hurt me,” she alleged. “Then I felt a hard blow across my head.”
However, Majors’ attorney, Priya Chaudhry, contends the injuries were actually sustained by the “Creed” actor … who was scared of Jabbari as he attempted to flee her as she chased him through the streets of Manhattan.

This comes after Jabbari detailed how she first met Majors, how they got involved, and at what point he allegedly began showing aggression around her.
So far, she’s shared a recording of the actor allegedly blowing up at her during another incident when she came home tipsy — and has also claimed he lost his cool after she brought up her ex’s pooch.
Meanwhile, Majors’ current GF, Meagan Good, has been throwing her full support behind him … ensuring to be by his side while arriving at court.

The two protagonists from the much anticipated GTA VI.
Rockstar Games
It’s been a decade since the last Grand Theft Auto game, and fans have finally gotten what they’ve been asking for. No, not a new game — but a real trailer and a promised release year.
What is it? GTA has been selling like gangbusters and stoking controversy for its over-the-top, R-rated content since 1997.
- The title is pretty self explanatory. While the story changes with each version, the gameplay centers around doing crimes and wreaking havoc, like stealing cars, evading police and getting into shootouts.
- If you’re an anxious type like myself, you can also just drive around like a law-abiding citizen in the fictional cities the games are centered in, which have drawn inspiration from places like San Francisco, Las Vegas and Los Angeles.
The trailer for GTA VI

What’s the big deal? After more than a decade of speculation, fans have finally gotten their first peek at the upcoming release of Grand Theft Auto VI.
- Rockstar Games, the developer responsible for GTA, had to release the trailer a day earlier than planned because of a leak. The one-minute-30-second video confirms the game will be released in 2025 for the Playstation 5 and Xbox series X/S.
- The official trailer has racked up more than 80 million views in less than 24 hours on YouTube and been the top trending video on the site.
- The trailer confirms what some fans and a previous gameplay leak in 2022 had predicted: For the first time, the game will center on a female protagonist named Lucia, and the story will return to Vice City, a hedonistic Miami-inspired hotspot filled with neon colors, wild nightlife and plenty of “Florida man” energy.
- The last series title, Grand Theft Auto V, came out in 2013 and is one of the best-selling video games of all time, with a staying power and cultural legacy that is hard to compare to anything else.
- And it’s not without its critics. For years, the game’s allowed players to attend strip clubs, shoot civilians and rob stores — content that got the series temporarily banned for sale in Australia in 2001, with recent efforts springing up down under to ban the series again.
- It’s sold more than 185 million units since its initial release — also making it one of the most profitable entertainment ventures ever, earning more than $8 billion in revenue in the decade since GTAV’s release.

So, what now?
- While Rockstar Games has touted 2025 for the GTA VI release, they have a history of delaying other big titles like Red Dead Redemption 2 and GTA V for months and months.
- So if you’re dying to wrestle with a gator and just can’t wait, your quickest option is to board a one-way Spirit airlines ticket to Fort Lauderdale.
