data-mm-id=”_hclhgr1gq”>Imagine paying an ungodly amount of money to be within a lob wedge's distance of country superstar Miranda Lambert at her Las Vegas residency, getting excited about the moment and choosing to preserve it with a selfie. Then imagine the very person you came to see completely stopping a song to call you out in front of thousands and deliver a lecture about the importance of country music. That became a reality for some unfortunate fans on Saturday night and there's no way in the world it wasn't completely mortifying. Miranda Lambert stops show to call out two fans taking a selfie:“These girls are worried about their selfie and not listening to the song, it’s pissing me off a little bit. Sorry, I don’t like it at all. We’re here to hear some country music tonight. I’m singing some country… pic.twitter.com/sERBzalpBI— Pop Crave (@PopCrave) July 17, 2023Adela Calin, one of the people on the receiving end of the stern talk, told NBC News that it wasn't like they were trying to capture thousands of pictures throughout the entire concert. "It was 30 seconds at most," Calin, a social media influencer from Las Vegas, said in a phone interview. "We took the picture quickly and were going to sit back down."…“It felt like I was back at school with the teacher scolding me for doing something wrong and telling me to sit down back in my place,” she said. “… I feel like she was determined to make us look like we were young, immature and vain. But we were just grown women in our 30s to 60s trying to take a picture.”Calin said the group — which was seating very close to the stage — had tried to take photos before the show started, but the lighting wasn’t great. So she asked the woman behind them to take a photo of her and her friends towards the end of the show."We just couldn’t get one good picture," Calin said. "We were so excited because I think we had the best seats in the house in the whole theater."One can understand how recording and performing artists are on edge lately with the spate of incidents involving fans throwing objects at them. And flash photography can be really distracting. But man, reaming out your paying customers is certainly a choice. Bet it doesn't happen again.

According to , Arsenal could send Calum Chambers out on loan in the January transfer window. The report has claimed that William Saliba and Reiss Nelson could also leave the Gunners on a temporary deal for the rest of the season.
Chambers has been on the books of Arsenal since 2014 and can operate as a central defender or as a right-back. Although the 25-year-old has a lot of potential and has done well when he has been called into action, there have been injury problems in recent times, and there is also competition for places.
It would make sense for the England international to find a club where he can play regular first-team football in the coming weeks and months. With the likes of Gabriel and David Luiz in the squad, it is going to be extremely hard for Chambers t…
Arsenal are preparing to move for Crystal Palace s Patrick van Aanholt, according to the .
Manager Mikel Arteta has been forced to use right-back Cedric Soares on the left defensive flank in the last couple of matches due to Kieran Tierney picking up an injury and Sead Kolasinac leaving to rejoin Schalke 04 on loan. His usual go-to man in these situations, Ainsley Maitland-Niles, is reportedly close to leaving on loan for the rest of the season as well. Quite apart from all these issues, Tierney has no competition in the squad and the need for the Gunners to sign a left-back is quite obvious.
Van Aanholt went through the youth ranks at Den Bosch and PSV Eindhoven, before joining Chelsea s Under-18 side in 2007. He was promoted to the first team two years later but was n…

Thibaut Courtois says Belgium s current crop of players should not be considered the country s golden generation after their dire World Cup campaign in Qatar.
Belgium finished third at the 2018 World Cup in Russia and reached the quarter-finals of Euro 2020 despite a series of underwhelming displays, leading to hopes of a renewed World Cup bid this year.
However, the world s number-two ranked side suffered a humiliating group-stage exit after following up a 1-0 win over Canada with a defeat to Morocco and a goalless draw with Croatia.
The Red Devils current squad – which includes a series of household names including Kevin De Bruyne and Eden Hazard – has often been described as Belgium s golden generation , but Courtois says that depiction is inaccurate.

Cesar Azpilicueta says Spain must keep Lorenzo Insigne and Jorginho quiet if they are to overcome Italy in Tuesday s Euro 2020 semi-final.
