KACEY MUSGRAVES, in the June/July issue of “Elle” magazine, was talking about how her divorce from Ruston Kelly has influenced the music she’s been writing. “I’ll be in the middle of an argument and somebody’ll say something, and I’ll be like, ‘I need to remember that.'” There IS a new album coming out late summer or early fall, and it will have songs about their marriage. “It would be strange if I didn’t acknowledge what happened in my life creatively . . .But it’s scary to be like, ‘I’m about to share my most personal thoughts about me, about this other person, about a union that I had with someone.’ I mean, I’m not a ruthless person. I care about other people’s feelings. So it’s kind of scary.”

The long-awaited, highly-anticipated “Friends” reunion is suffering from a major case of buzzkill … at least for fans who don’t like James Corden … or are worried about Matthew Perry’s health. News that “The Late Late Show” host will be hosting the “Friends” special on HBO later this month has many on social media miffed … mostly because he has no known connection to the popular sitcom. Fans pointed out that there are so many other notable celebs — Brad Pitt, Paul Rudd, Reese Witherspoon and Bruce Willis for instance — who had roles on the show and would have made way more sense to host … but HBO honchos went with Corden. There’s another issue putting a damper on the reunion fun too — Matthew, AKA Chandler, appeared to be unwell during a recent interview promoting the upcoming special. In the video, sitting with Matt LeBlanc and David Schwimmer, some fans felt Perry sounded like he was slurring his speech, and appeared to be gazing off into the distance at times. He’s been open about his struggles with addiction in the past. The reunion is May 27 on HBO Max
