Leonardo DiCaprio’s friends think his new girlfriend, 26-year-old Italian model Vittoria Ceretti, has him WHIPPED.  But he doesn’t care, because he’s never been, “this in love or this devoted to a woman.”

The first round of performers for the Grammys have been announced and it looks like Lainey Wilson and Brad Paisley will be holding it down for the country music world. There will be more performers announced soon. And in addition to performing, Lainey’s also nominated for Best Country Album for “Whirlwind”.  She’s up against “Cowboy Carter” by Beyoncé . . . “Higher” by Chris Stapleton . . . “Deeper Well” by Kacey Musgraves . . . and “F-1 Trillion” by Post Malone. The Grammy’s take place this SUNDAY on CBS at 8. Grammys will include tributes to Quincy Jones and the city of Los Angeles.

Dolly Parton revealed that her new musical will be making its world premiere in Nashville.  During the announcement, she also got to talking about how crazy the audition process has been. “You would not believe some of the stuff we got.  We’ve got some absolutely great people.  We had drag queens.  We got all kinds of people playing Dolly.”

Post Malone was once 65 pounds heavier than he is now?  How did he do it? Hot sauce.  Post said the most impressive part is that he didn’t use Ozempic or any other weight-loss drugs.  He just stopped eating a lot of fried foods . . . he switched to grilled chicken . . . and then started putting hot sauce on everything. He had no idea that hot sauce has ZERO calories.  So, once he found that out, it was off to the races.  And he has said that, since then, he’s never felt healthier.

Randy Travis has a new song coming called “Horses in Heaven”.  It’s the second one he’s done with the help of A.I. A stroke in 2013 robbed Randy of his voice.  So, they used A.I. to recreate it with the help of singer James Dupré.  He released the first one called “Where That Came From” back in May, and promised there’d be MORE where that came from. He posted a clip from “Horses in Heaven” on Instagram.  The full song lands tomorrow.
