Justin Moore displayed a little more of his “self” than planned at his show in Estero, Florida on Friday.  He split his pants while covering Waylon Jennings’ “Theme from The Dukes of Hazzard (Good Ol’ Boys)”. There’s a couple of videos making the rounds, and the split happens when he decides to bend down and slap the stage.  He immediately realizes that his pants were not made for that and reaches around to cover his backside. He keeps it covered as he leaves the stage to change pants.  Some people thought he had an ACCIDENT in his PANTS . . . so when he comes back, he’s holding the old pair to make sure everyone sees them. Then he tells everyone that he split his pants and did NOT sh**his pants.

Hardy gave another mental health update at his show in Nashville on Saturday.  He reassured fans that’s he’s doing much better after he had to cancel a few concerts this month. He’s been open about dealing with anxiety and panic attacks connected to his serious tour bus crash last year.  He told the crowd he’s “getting better every single day,” and encouraged anyone else dealing with anxiety to get help. He did three shows in a row at the Nashville Municipal Auditorium over the weekend, and also took time out to mention a pretty cool milestone. Quote, “The only person to sell this place out more than me is Elvis Presley.”

I guess this runs in the family.  You may recall a couple of years ago when Luke Bryan got two fishing lure prongs stuck in his hand.  He went to a medical center to have them removed, and returned to fishing that same day. Now his youngest son, 13-year-old Tate, is following in dad’s footsteps.  Luke’s wife Caroline shared a video of Tate in the emergency room.  He’s surprisingly calm even though there’s a fish hook stuck in his right leg. Mom asks how he’s feeling, and he says, quote, “I at least caught the trout.”  And if it sounds like Tate wanted dad to know the full story, that’s because he did. Here’s what Caroline wrote in the caption.  Quote, “Another fish hook ER visit.  But he wanted Luke to know that he still caught the fish.”  Proud dad wrote this in the comments.  “Dats my boy.”

Jason Aldean wrapped up his tour in Tampa on Saturday . . . and he surprised the crowd by bringing out a random special guest:  70-year-old Hulk Hogan. Hulk hyped up the crowd for a minute or so, and then as he walked off stage, Jason called him “the GOAT.”

On Friday, Dolly Parton cut the ribbon to a very interesting exhibit at Lipscomb University in Nashville.  It’s called “Dolly Parton and the Makers: My Life in Rhinestones”, and it showcases 25 outfits from her career. The exhibit officially opens tomorrow, but don’t drag your heels.  It only runs through December 9th.

The Zac Brown Band is releasing a live album called “From the Road, Vol. 1: Covers”, on November 10th.  To whet your appetite they released their cover of The Who classic, “Baba O’Riley”. 

 Craig Morgan had some special guests at his recent Grand Ole Opry show.  Trace Adkins joined him to perform “That Ain’t Gonna Be Me” . . . and Jelly Roll was there to help Craig sing, “Almost Home”. 

Would you be surprised to hear that Wynonna Judd thinks Post Malone is one of the best performers she’s ever seen? 

Comedian Nate Bargatze hosted “SNL” on Saturday, and one of the highlights was a fake country music video he did with the cast members.  He fronted a band called Mudpuddle doing their new song, “Lake Beach”.

Richard Moll, the actor who portrayed the towering and tenderhearted bailiff “Bull” Shannon on all nine seasons of the popular NBC sitcom Night Court during its original run, has died. He was 80. Moll died peacefully Thursday at his home in Big Bear Lake, California, his publicist announced.
