A British newspaper alleges that a sequel to “The Goonies” is in the works.  The original cast will supposedly return, and they’ll film it next year and release it sometime in 2026 or 2027.

The Princess of Wales Kate Middleton shared an update yesterday on her cancer battle.  She posted a video featuring clips of her with Prince William and their kids, along with a message that she has completed her chemotherapy. A message from Catherine, The Princess of Wales

As the summer comes to an end, I cannot tell you what a relief it is to have finally completed my chemotherapy treatment.

The last nine months have been incredibly tough for us as a family. Life as you know it can change in an instant and we have had to find a way to navigate the stormy waters and road unknown.

The cancer journey is complex, scary and unpredictable for everyone, especially those closest to you.

With humility, it also brings you face to face with your own vulnerabilities in a way you have never considered before, and with that, a new perspective on everything.

This time has above all reminded William and me to reflect and be grateful for the simple yet important things in life, which so many of us often take for granted. Of simply loving and being loved.

Doing what I can to stay cancer free is now my focus. Although I have finished chemotherapy, my path to healing and full recovery is long and I must continue to take each day as it comes.

I am however looking forward to being back at work and undertaking a few more public engagements in the coming months when I can.

Despite all that has gone before I enter this new phase of recovery with a renewed sense of hope and appreciation of life.

William and I are so grateful for the support we have received and have drawn great strength from all those who are helping us at this time. Everyone’s kindness, empathy and compassion has been truly humbling.

To all those who are continuing their own cancer journey – I remain with you, side by side, hand in hand. Out of darkness, can come light, so let that light shine bright.

Experts say watching game shows is good for your brain, because they make you pay close attention, quickly process information, and either problem-solve or recall knowledge.

The biggest snubs from the CMA Award nominations are:  Beyoncé getting shut out in every category she was qualified for . . . and Miranda Lambert, who was not nominated for Female Vocalist of the Year.  This broke a 17-year consecutive streak.

Week one of the NFL season is in the books.  Who the favorite teams of some of Country music’s biggest stars. 

Lainey Wilson . . . “Steelers”.  Which makes sense because of her boyfriend, Duck, who used to play for them.

Kenny Chesney . . . “Steelers”

Post Malone . . . “Dallas Cowboys”

Parker McCollum . . . “Texans”

Jelly Roll, Morgan Wallen, Zach Top, Mason Ramsey . . . “Titans”. 

Luke Combs . . . “Carolina Panthers”.  And after Sunday’s loss, Luke tweeted, “New year, same old Panthers.  Absolutely gruesome watch.”

Darius Rucker . . . “Miami Dolphins”

Zach Bryan . . . Eagles

“Sunday Night Football” began in 2006, and Pink was the performer of the theme song in their debut season.  But she only lasted one year before being replaced by Faith Hill for the next five years. And after that, it was Carrie Underwood, who just kicked off her 12th straight season performing “Waiting All Day for Sunday Night”.  But did you know that producers wanted Carrie to be the star from the very get-go? When “Sunday Night Football” initially started out, they wanted Carrie for the job.  But she was fresh off her win on “American Idol” and was overwhelmed with commitments. In fact, he even said that when they first reached out, she, “wasn’t really interested.”  But when Faith stepped down, NBC approached Carrie again, and the rest is history.

Jelly Roll is in the midst of his “Beautifully Broken” tour and just posted an update to his Instagram after his most recent Anaheim show. The post was captioned:  “Anaheim was crazy – I’ve never taken anything more serious than I have this tour.” The video starts out by Jelly getting gifted a sweet custom Anaheim Ducks jacket, which you can tell he’s real happy about. He then breaks down his daily routine.  He said, “I feel great.  I’ve never felt more clear-headed.  I’ve never felt more focused.  [I’m] really eating militant, walking every day, hitting a bunch of steps.  Just taking it serious, man.” And right before showtime he says, “I’ll eat two bananas, and then I’ll do a little boxing workout for 15, 20 minutes . . . I’m already kinda sweatin’, and ready to roll, baby.”

Miranda Lambert’s new album “Postcards from Texas” is out THIS Friday and she’s posting “studio diaries” from back when she was recording. We get a peek behind the curtain, and see how excited she was to record in her home state once again. She said, “I’ve been waiting for this for a long time . . . I have not made a record in Texas since I was 18 and my little independent album.  So, this is like full circle, coming back home, to the root. “Making new music always gives you a little bit of butterflies, which I love, because it means you know you still care after all these years.” And in the comments, Miranda said to “Stay tuned for more of these studio diaries this week on YouTube and Spotify.”
