Shakira concert canceled in Washington DC a day after nixed show in Boston
A day after her Boston concert was canceled, Shakira's tour is suffering another setback.
The popstar's scheduled show in Washington, D.C. — which was part of her Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour and WorldPride DC 2025's Welcome Concert — on May 31 has also been canceled. The reasoning was "due to complications with the previous show in Boston," according to a statement released by Nationals Park May 30.
"Shakira's full tour production cannot be transported to Washington, D.C. in time for her scheduled performance," the statement read. "As a result, the D.C. show has been canceled. Despite every effort to make it happen, it is not possible to move forward as planned."
Ticketholders will automatically receive refunds for Ticketmaster and nationals.com purchases. Those who purchased from a third party should contact the seller.
Shakira shared a statement about her heartbreak over the show's cancellation, writing, "Due to circumstances beyond my control, I am sad and heartbroken that I will not be able to be in Washington, D.C. with you tomorrow. I hope that I can come back to D.C., as soon as I am able.
"Meanwhile, please know that I am eternally thankful for your unconditional support."
In a May 30 statement to USA TODAY, Live Nation said the cancelation of several shows at Fenway Park was due to issues discovered during routine checks before the Shakira show.
"Structural elements were identified as not being up to standard, so the shows were canceled. All team members are safe," the statement said. The issue also affected upcoming shows from Jason Aldean and Brooks & Dunn.
Shakira is next scheduled to perform in Atlanta June 2.
The Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour kicked off in South America in February and began its North American leg May 13.
Opening up about the work that went into the tour, Shakira recently told USA TODAY, "I've worked so much on every detail of this show. I'm building the biggest setlist of my career.
"There are going to be visuals I created, the narrative and the details of them. There are 145 people on this tour to make it happen every night," she explained. "I've created original music for the transitions in the show, new choreography and arrangements. I have 13 costume changes, so all of what I've learned these years of making music, I feel like this is a recap of that journey."

Ezra Miller has 'a lot of remorse' for past controversies, talks Hollywood comeback
After a shaky time in the spotlight, Ezra Miller isn't ready to sprint back to Hollywood. "The Flash" star, whose Hollywood ascent was derailed amid mounting legal issues, addressed their past controversies and future in the entertainment industry in an interview with Lo Speciale Giornale published June 19. Miller, 32, spoke to the Italian outlet shortly after attending the Cannes Film Festival in May for their first major red-carpet appearance since falling from grace. Miller said they appeared at the renowned film festival at the request of their friend, "Die My Love" director Lynne Ramsay, adding that their relationship with the movie industry is on "tentative grounds." "If you've been in the woods for three years, I do not recommend going straight to Cannes, where every photographer and every weirdo, every rich genocidal freak (will) be there, you know what I mean?" Miller said. "It's not an easy reentry." 10 bingeable memoirs to check out: Celebrities tell all about aging, marriage and Beyoncé Miller broke out on the big screen in 2012 with a role in the coming-of-age drama "The Perks of Being a Wallflower," later playing Credence Barebone in the Harry Potter "Fantastic Beasts" franchise (2016-2022) and superhero speedster Barry Allen in "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" (2016) and "Justice League" (2017). But in 2022, a series of highly publicized scandals cast a shadow on Miller's rising star. The actor was arrested in Hawaii on a charge of disorderly conduct in March, followed by an arrest on suspicion of assault in April. A few months later, Miller was accused of grooming an 18-year-old activist by the teen's parents and also charged with felony burglary in a separate incident in Vermont (Miller pleaded not guilty). "Not that I don't hold a lot of remorse and lamentation for a lot of things that I did and for a lot of things that happened in that time, but I'm really, really grateful for the lessons that came with that abyss," Miller reflected. Ezra Miller's past legal troubles: What to know about actor's controversies In an August 2022 statement to USA TODAY, Miller said they were undergoing treatment for "complex mental health issues" following the string of criminal and abuse allegations brought against them: "I want to apologize to everyone that I have alarmed and upset with my past behavior. I am committed to doing the necessary work to get back to a healthy, safe and productive stage in my life." "When we go through those crucibles, if we can survive, which was up in the air for me if I'm being real, we then have that capacity to see other people in their crucibles and just to reach towards them," Miller told Lo Speciale Giornale. "That grows more and more rarefied in our world, too. Like, the capacity to do that, the desire to do that, the willingness to do that." "The Flash" premiered in June 2023 and despite earning mixed reviews from critics, the DC superhero flick grossed $271.4 million worldwide. While Miller hasn't appeared in a major project since the film's release, the actor said they've been "writing a lot," including working with Ramsay on a movie that will "likely" be their first new release.

Margaret Cho alleges Ellen DeGeneres was 'really weird and not nice' to her
There's no love lost between Margaret Cho and Ellen DeGeneres. During an appearance on "The Kelly Mantle Show," the comedian, 56, alleged that the former "Ellen DeGeneres Show" host was "really weird and not nice" to her for "most" of her career. USA TODAY has reached out to representatives for DeGeneres for comment. The topic came up when Mantle asked Cho to share her thoughts on a series of comedians. After DeGeneres was named, Cho took a long pause before responding that the "Finding Nemo" star, who is "somebody that I've known for such a long time," is "mean." Cho added that DeGeneres "was like a mean girl" and speculated she "always had negative feelings towards me because her girlfriends" liked her. The "Drop Dead Diva" star went on to allege that when she would appear on DeGeneres' talk show, the comedian "acted like we just met," even though Cho previously opened for her in the 1980s. "That's weird," Cho said. "We go way back." Cho also recalled an instance where David Bowie appeared on DeGeneres' show and talked "at length" in praise of Cho and her wardrobe after Cho went to see the singer the night before. But DeGeneres "cut it out of the show, which made me so mad," Cho said, calling this "so rude." "I don't know if it was personal — maybe it was (cut) for time — but still, I'm going to take it personally," she added. Ellen DeGeneres says she went to therapy amid toxic workplace scandal in final comedy special After the interview, Cho shared a clip of her comments about DeGeneres on Instagram, writing, "Have you heard this story? It's a good one." DeGeneres hosted her long-running "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" from 2003 to 2022 after previously starring on the groundbreaking sitcom "Ellen." In 2020, current and former employees of the talk show spoke out against what they described as "racism, fear, and intimidation" behind the scenes in an investigation by BuzzFeed News. Ellen DeGeneres celebrates 20 years with Portia de Rossi, addresses UK home flooding rumors DeGeneres addressed the toxic workplace allegations on her show in September 2020, telling viewers that "things happened here that never should have happened," adding, "I take that very seriously, and I want to say I am so sorry to the people who were affected." The following year, she announced she would end her talk show. In September, DeGeneres further addressed the allegations in her Netflix special "Ellen DeGeneres: For Your Approval," quipping that she got "kicked out of show business because I'm mean." She also revealed that she went to therapy to "deal with all the hatred" amid the toxic workplace scandal. "It was not a common situation for a therapist to deal with," she said in the special. "At one point, my therapist said, 'Ellen, where do you get this idea that everyone hates you?' I said, 'Well, New York Times, Washington Post, Entertainment Weekly, Us Weekly — I think Elmo may have said something recently on an episode of 'Sesame Street.'"
