Matthew Perry is gone, but he still drops in on his friends from time to time . . . in BIRD FORM.  That’s according to Maggie Wheeler, who played Chandler’s on-again, off-again girlfriend Janice on “Friends”. In addition to Matthew, Maggie also lost her brother to addiction.  But she claims she got a message from both of them recently. “After Matthew died, I was in a neighbor’s pool.  And I was alone and there was nobody else [around] and I was on my back and I was thinking about my brother, and I said, ‘Look out for him.’ “And two hawks flew over my head and flew past me.  One circled around and came and got the other one and it flew past me.  So, that was a beautiful moment, if you go for that kind of stuff.”

At Forrest Frank’s sold-out show at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, Thomas Rhetgt broke his ankle, and then performed on stage directly after. Here’s how it went down.  A spotlight revealed Thomas sitting in the audience and the audience all cheered.  And then as he was walking down the stairs, he fell and snapped his ankle. He hobbled on stage and got through his entire song with Forrest.  Afterwards he posted a funny video sitting in a wheelchair captioned, “How I broke my ankle at a Forrest Frank concert.” Thomas joked in the video, “I gave my all to Tennessee tonight.”  What a trooper.  Hope he feels better soon!

Last week, Morgan Wallen confirmed that he’ll finally put out his first female collaboration on his new album, “I’m the Problem”. In an Instagram story he wrote, “I haven’t seen one person guess the female collab on this album correctly yet.” So now people are guessing Tate McRae, or Lana Del Rey because it’s evidently not Miranda, Megan, or Ella
