Viral Comedian Earns Mad 'Props' After Helping Heckler Propose On Stageoriginally appeared onParade. BelovedcomedianDrew Lynchis earning high praise from his fans after he allowed one audience member at a recent show to hijack his set for a touching moment that absolutely no one saw coming. During a stop in Wisconsin, one fan interrupted to request Lynch read a joke he wrote. Ultimately, the comedian conceded, allowing the paper to be passed up to the stage. But, what followed was not Lynch reading a joke written by the man, but rather the "perfect set up" for the him to propose to his girlfriend. "I love jokes but I love LOVE even more 🫶," Lynch captioned a video of the moment recently uploaded to TikTok. "What started off as a bizarre request ended up as a special memory for me, the couple and the audience. Live laugh love, folks." Fans were genuinely in awe of the exchange, sending massive "props" to the comedian not only for allowing it to happen, but for his poker face. "Yoooooo I was shocked. Can't believe i didn't see that coming. Way to sell it dude," one fan commented. "That was SO smooth, natural, didn't expect that at all!!" another agreed, as someone else called his improv "flawless." "What a trooper! He played along so good NO ONE SAW IT COMING!!" the praise continued. "Props Drew for setting that up," someone else applauded, while another commended Lynch for being "so cool for doing this for him." "Props to Drew, what a nice guy for stopping his show for this. Respect 🙏," someone else emphasized, while another called the comedian "awesome" for "let[ting] them have this moment"—which someone else dubbed the "Most original proposal ever." One fan called the moment "the cutest heckle of all time," which was definitely a common theme. "STOP THIS IS SO CUTE WHAT THE HECK," another comment read.

Lindsay Lohan Issues Bold Statement Amid Facelift Rumors

Lindsay Lohan Issues Bold Statement Amid Facelift Rumors

Lindsay Lohan Issues Bold Statement Amid Facelift Rumorsoriginally appeared onParade. For pretty much her entire life, Lindsay Lohan has been at the center of gossip and controversy. From rehab stints to DUIs to theinfamous "bimbo summit"with Paris Hilton and Britney Spears, theMean Girlsstar has been through the wringer, providing streams of fodder for the Hollywood rumor mill—so much so that she even addressed it head-on inher 2004 single, "Rumors." Now that she has returned to acting, with roles in a trio of Netflix movies and the upcomingFreakier Friday, the former child star once again has rumors swirling around her. And she's setting the record straight. In an interview withSNL's Chloe Fineman forElle, Lohan outright addressed rumors that she's had a facelift with a laugh and a shrug. "I'm like, when? With what time? Where?" TheHerbie: Fully Loadedstar's publicist chimed in to confirm her lack of time to go under the knife. "So the haters can hate and be jealous," they said. "It just sucks that that's where they go with women in today's world." Instead, the star insisted her post-motherhood glow-up is not from cosmetic surgery, but from healthy lifestyle changes. "My skin changed after having my son. It got really sensitive," she explained. "That's what really made me change my whole routine and diet and everything." After getting several blood tests, theI Know Who Killed Mestar cut out foods she was allergic to and hopped on the pressed juice train. "I drink this juice every morning. It's like carrot, ginger, lemon, olive oil, apple," she explained. "I also drink a lot of green tea, a lot of water. I'm a big pickled beets person, so I put them in almost everything...I drink lemon juice a lot; I also put tons of chia seeds in my water." With Logan Paul's Prime proving the celebrity drink market can be lucrative, perhaps Lohan could launch her own line of natural juices.

Fans Demand Answers as Legendary Venue Cancels Concerts Last-Minute

Fans Demand Answers as Legendary Venue Cancels Concerts Last-Minute

Fans Demand Answers as Legendary Venue Cancels Concerts Last-Minuteoriginally appeared onParade. Fans are demanding answers after Fenway Park canceled the concerts scheduled for the legendary baseball field on Thursday, May 29, and Friday, May 30, just hours beforeShakirawas set to take the stage for the first of the shows (Jason Aldeanand Brooks & Dunn were scheduled for the following night). The sporting venue announced the news on X at 4:36 p.m., as fans were likely already arriving in the area for Shakira. "Due to unforeseen circumstances, the Shakira and Jason Aldean and Brooks & Dunn performances originally scheduled for May 29 and May 30 respectively at Fenway Park have been canceled," a message from the field's official account read. "Refunds will be available at your point of purchase. We apologize for the inconvenience." pic.twitter.com/3MRSbMJ8rR — Fenway Park (@fenwaypark)May 29, 2025 Beyond their disappointment, fans were distraught by the lack of transparency from the venue. "Because????" one fan insisted, as another requested, "Can some sort of explanation be provided?" "We want a detailed explanation," someone else demanded, posting a gif of a cartoon figure holding a flaming torch. "How is it possible that this venue-related cancelation is announced only 2-3 hours before the show starts? We demand a CLEAR explanation," another response read. One internet user who wasn't even planning to attend either show noted that "to just say both are cancelled due to 'unforeseen circumstances' is eerie and concerning," wondering why the venue would't "just say" what was going on. "Unacceptable," someone else said bluntly. According to reporting fromABC affiliate WCVB 5, Fenway's stage setup began to fall apart during rehearsal on Thursday, with Live Nation telling the publication that "during a routine pre-show check, structural elements were identified as not being up to standard, so the shows were canceled." Live Nation employees reportedly informed "countless fans" of the unfortunate news as they arrived for Shakira's Thursday night show, while the equipment was being loaded into trucks and taken away.
