The Golden Globes went down last night, and luckily nobody got slapped. But someone DID get the evil eye . . . from Taylor Swift. It was host Jo Koy who incurred Taylor’s wrath when he told the following joke: “The big difference between the Golden Globes and the NFL, on the Golden Globes we have fewer camera shots of Taylor Swift.” Then the camera DID cut to Taylor, who iced Jo with her eyes while taking a sip of her wine. As for the awards, “Oppenheimer” won Best Motion Picture Drama, while Cillian Murphy, Robert Downey Jr., and director Christopher Nolan took home individual awards. Lily Gladstone from “Killers of the Flower Moon” became the first Indigenous actress to win Best Female Actor in a Motion Picture Drama. “Barbie” lost out to “Poor Things” for best musical or comedy film, but it did win the new award for “cinematic and box office achievement.” And Billie Eilish took home a Globe for the soundtrack song “What Was I Made For?” “Poor Things” star Emma Stone won best female actor in the musical or comedy category. HBO’s “Succession” was named best TV drama, while Kieran Culkin, Sarah Snook, and Matthew MacFadyen all won for their work on it. And “The Bear” won best TV musical or comedy . . . and stars Ayo Edebiri and Jeremy Allen White won acting awards for it.
It’s been a crazy ride for Jelly Roll, and he revisited an important part of his history in an interview with “CBS Sunday Morning”. They took him back to his old jail cell at the Metro-Davidson County Detention Facility in Nashville . . . and it choked him up. He said, “There was a time in my life where I truly thought . . . this was it. Coming here, you know, just after getting nominated for two Grammys, it just hits different.” He added, “I didn’t think I’d get emotional, to be honest. Even when I left here, I didn’t have a plan. I knew that I loved music, and I knew it was the only thing I had any skill set in.” Even after all his success, he still feels like an imposter sometimes. Quote, “Do I really deserve this? I’m still a guy that’s haunted by my past. There’s a very dark hallway between my ears.”
Riley Green shared an acoustic clip of a new song he “wrote a couple nights ago”. Based on the hashtags he used, it COULD be titled, “I Couldn’t Fit That on a Sign”. He says, quote, “You never know what someone else has been through in their life. Hope y’all like it.”
A 13-year-old impressed Lainey Wilson with a cover of “Heart Like a Truck”. She commented on a video of the girl with, quote, “Let’s go!!!

Tell her keep chasing that dream, keep singing from the soul young lady.” And Morgan said, quote, “She got something special! Keep goin”
