John Travolta is seriously in love with Margot Robbie.  He says, quote, “Oh my god, one can only dream.  I just love her.”  Margot is married and expecting her first child.

Julie Bowen revealed that her character and Adam Sandler’sare still together in “Happy Gilmore 2”.  The movie doesn’t have a release date yet. 

Lady Gaga was reminded of a Facebook page her college classmates made, saying she would never be famous.  And she said it should be a reminder that, quote, “you can’t give up when people doubt you or put you down.” 

Poison will not be touring in 2025 because Bret Michaels needs a health tune-up and some family time.  But 2026 is the 40th anniversary of the “Look What the Cat Dragged In” album, and he’d like to tour for that.

Zach Bryan posted late on Tuesday night, “Pop up at Ray’s Bar at 11:30.”   The problem was, he didn’t let anyone know which Ray’s Bar it was . . . or even which state it was in. It had fans googling any nearby Ray’s Bar and then just hoping that Zach was at that one.  Well, most everyone struck out, except if you were the lucky few to find him at Ray’s Bar in New York City. The bar was PACKED and it’s not a large place, so those that were in attendance were treated to an incredibly intimate show.  Zach just had his guitar, a backwards hat, and was seated on a bench jamming out. After the pop-up show, he didn’t immediately leave.  He stayed and hung around the bar, shot some pool, and enjoyed some snacks.

Luke Combs just playfully talked some smack to Post Malone, who posted a photo of him in Luke’s merch on stage. Here’s the problem:  The shirt that he’s wearing is bootlegged and NOT official merch from Luke.  So, while Luke was stoked that Post was giving him some love, he understandably had to give him a little crap over wearing janky merch. He wrote, “Shirt is gas.  Even though it’s bootleg haha.” Fans loved it, and commented “You need to send him a legit one now”

Shaboozey’s hit “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” is everywhere.  You can hear it in your car, at restaurants, in the mall . . . it seems like wherever you go, “Tipsy” is playing in the background. “Tipsy” is once again on top of Billboard’s Country Airplay chart for a 7th straight week.  This means that the song is now so big that it dethroned a milestone chart record that Carrie Underwood has held since 2006. Carrie’s debut single “Jesus Take the Wheel” was #1 for six straight weeks.  Which means that Shaboozey now officially owns “the longest-leading hit to establish a Country career.” And since the chart’s debut in 1990, only 11 songs in TOTAL have been #1 for that many weeks or longer.

Lainey Wilson was on “The Tonight Show” this week, and Jimmy Fallon said he’s heard stories that, in the early days, she’d perform in the aisles of Walmart.  She didn’t confirm or deny that, but she said: “I’d play anywhere they would let me play.  I’m talking about nursing homes, flatbed trailers . . . my parents would be like, ‘Hey Lainey, sing that song you just wrote last week’ for anybody.  And I’d just do it.”

When you go to a concert, please don’t throw stuff at the talent.  Megan Maroney had to dodge a hat at a show in Birmingham, England on Tuesday.  It landed right next to her and she’s fine.  It’s not like they threw a battery or something, but still. Someone posted the footage, and you can tell it annoyed her.  She was in the middle of her song “28th of June” when it happened.  We also know it annoyed her because there’s a second video from right after it happened, where she’s singing “Hope You’re Happy” . . . and subtly FLIPS THE PERSON OFF.  Her drummer posted about it on social, saying, “We come to your cities, we’re away from our families and regular lives to make your night exciting.  Please do us the simple courtesy of not throwing stuff at us.”

Henry Winkler refused to let his daughter do reality TV.  Once, when a producer came to their house, he told him, quote, “I can suggest some really good restaurants, [but] my daughter is not doing your show.” One of the funniest things to come from the show was George Strait’s reaction to the performances. Someone…
