Tomorrow is Friday the 13th, and Spirit Halloween has found a pretty cool way to celebrate.  They’re taking over the Blairstown Diner in New Jersey . . . which was featured in the ORIGINAL “Friday the 13th”, back in 1980. They’re hosting events throughout the day, including ax throwing, free horror caricatures, horror face painting, and a bloody pie eating contest. And by the way, the diner is actually FOR SALE.  So drop a BID while you’re there.  Just be aware that you’ll have to service the horror weirdos . . . especially on Friday the 13th. The listing agent says, “There was one year, three or four weddings where Jason did the ceremony in town.  No priest, no rabbi, just Jason with his mask and knife.”

Host Jesse Palmer is hoping “The Golden Bachelor” does well, because he’s interested in hosting a “Golden Bachelorette”. He says, “I can’t speak on behalf of executives or anybody else, obviously.  I’m sure everyone’s waiting to see how this one goes first.  But I know there are thousands of women across America deserving of that.” “The Golden Bachelor” tonight at 8:00 p.m. on ABC.

Chris Stapleton is dealing with bronchitis AND laryngitis, and is under doctor’s orders to REST his voice.  So, he’s postponing three dates on his All-American Road Show tour. “I am very sorry to let you all know that I am unable to perform this weekend’s shows. I have bronchitis and laryngitis, and on doctor’s orders [for] vocal rest through the weekend in order to heal.  I’m grateful for your patience and understanding, and hope to see you all in November.” His next concert is October 19th in San Antonio, Texas.  His new album, “Higher”, is due out November 10th.

Jelly Roll posted a video making fun of himself after he beefed it while getting off his private jet the other day. His tour bus had pulled up right next to it on the tarmac.  So, he thought it would look cool to film himself walking off the plane and onto the bus like a big shot. But then he got distracted with the filming . . . and fell down the airplane’s little set of STAIRS.  It sounds like he landed pretty hard. You can hear him in the video say, “I think I broke something.”  But it sounds like he’ll be okay.

Billy Ray Cyrus and Firerose got married on Tuesday.  Billy made the announcement in a sappy social media post, where he said, “It was the most perfect, ethereal celebration of love we could have ever imagined . . .”For both of us to hear the preacher say, ‘Billy Ray and Firerose Cyrus, I now pronounce you husband and wife,’ that was the sacred moment our new forever began.” This is Billy’s third marriage.  His second wife, Tish, got married to “Prison Break” star Dominic Purcell back in August.

Tuesday night was the 15th annual Opry Goes Pink show, and Carly Pearce flipped the iconic switch on the Grand Ole Opry stage to light the place up pink.  A portion of every ticket sold was donated to the Susan G. Komen foundation to help in the fight against breast cancer.

Blake Shelton shared what appears to be a tour teaser across his social media platforms. The cryptic clip included a neon sign that reads, “Back To The Honky Tonk Tour.” The caption quoted his 2015 song “Neon Light” with the text: “There’s a neon light at the end of the tunnel”. Beneath the sign were two smaller signs that read “DL” and “EAR.” Presumably to signify his tourmates– former Team Blake The Voice runner-up, Emily Ann Roberts – and — Dustin Lynch
