Martha Stewart said she’s never had plastic surgery, but she has had minimal fillers over the years for a “little line here or there.”  She also said there was little airbrushing done on her swimsuit photos for “Sports Illustrated”. 

Jane Fonda once went skinny dipping with Michael Jackson, and she says he was “skinny”.  It was when he visited the set of “On Golden Pond”. 

For Mother’s Day, Kim Kardashian paid off legal fees for more than 50 moms who accumulated debt while on parole or probation.  All the women have been successful in their rehabilitation efforts

ABC is debuting a new series this fall called “The Golden Bachelor”.  It’s basically “The Bachelor” for senior citizens “in search for a partner to share the sunset years of life.”

Dolly Parton’s rock album is coming this fall, and the list of featured artists is insane.  But now some fans who were planning to buy it say they WON’T be.  And it all stems from everyone’s favorite topic . . . Bud Light. One of the things that kickstarted it was Kid Rock’s video where he shot up a bunch of cases of Bud Light with an assault rifle. And now because he helped start it, people are threatening to boycott DOLLY for featuring him on one of her new rock songs.  He’s on a song called “Either Or”.  And some Dolly fans say they won’t buy the album unless she drops that song. Dolly’s been a vocal supporter of LGBT rights for years, and Kid Rock has decisively NOT been.  So, a lot of people just don’t get why she put him on her album in the first place. The LGBT magazine “The Advocate” posted a big op-ed calling it a “slap in the face.”  They say having him on there makes it seem like she’s okay with his views. “The implication is ‘Oh, he must be a good person if Dolly chooses him along with all these other luminaries.'” They also took issue with him being thought of as a huge rock star in general. Quote, “Many of these musicians [on her album] are in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, but not Kid Rock.  He’s in the WWE Hall of Fame.”

29-year-old Tenille Townes is opening for Shania Twain this fall in a full-circle moment. When she was nine years old, Shania pulled her on stage during a concert, after seeing her “Shania, can I please sing with you?” poster. Tenille said, “That was the moment.  I was standing next to my hero, like, ‘This is it.  This is what I want to do . . . Getting to open for her, is so surreal.  I’m so excited.” She doesn’t know if they’ll get to share the stage together, but she’s keeping her fingers crossed.

We’ve heard bits and pieces about the amazing performances and guest stars at Willie Nelson’s 90th Birthday Bash last month . . . and now we get to SEE it.  They stuffed it into a movie called “Long Story Short: Willie Nelson 90” . . . and it’ll be in theaters on June 11th.

Bailey Zimmerman has been on Morgan Wallen’s tour, which will pick back up in June.  “CMT’s Hot 20 Countdown” asked what advice he’s been getting from Morgan and the other performers.  He said, “Always be good to people. “They’ve preached that it’s really easy to get a chip on your shoulder.  It’s really easy to think that you deserve more, [but] always be nice to people and never think that you’re better than anybody.”

Looks like Luke Bryan and Peyton Manning passed the audition, because they’re coming back to co-host this year’s CMA Awards.  It’ll be held November 8th at Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena, and will air live on ABC. 

Southwest Airlines hasn’t exactly been America’s favorite airline over the past year . . . but Randy Travis hasn’t given up on them.  He was on a recent flight out of Nashville International Airport, and some other passengers shot some video of him joking around with the flight crew.

Imagine the whole world reacting to every mistake you make online.  Carrie Underwood was responding to a Tweet and wrote the word “We’ll” . . . but it was supposed to be “Well.”  The Internet was all over it, so she went back online and blamed autocorrect.  I actually believe her.  She’s a perfectionist. 

Taylor Lautner is ready for the wave of renewed attention he’s about to receive from Swifties when ex Taylor Swift releases Speak Now (Taylor’s Version). The song “Back to December,” many fans believe is about their brief relationship —-” Praying for John.” Of course, is John Mayer, who is also thought to be the subject of a song on Speak Now — though while “Back to December” paints its subject in a positive light, “Dear John” does not.  Mayer, 45, told Rolling Stone in 2012 that the lyrics to the ballad made him “feel terrible.”

Derek Hough is 38.  “Dancing with the Stars” stud.  He won it six times

Sugar Ray Leonard is 67.  Boxing legend.
