ALFONSO RIBEIRO has dropped his lawsuit against “Fortnite” for using the ‘Carlton Dance’ that he did on “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air”. His lawyers say he’s voluntarily dismissing the suit.

At the time, a registration specialist said it was not registrable, because the moves are a “simple dance routine.”

There’s a lyric in DUSTIN LYNCH’s song “Ridin’ Roads” that was inspired by a crime that his cousins committed. What kind of crime? Here’s the lyric: “I don’t know where we are / ‘Cause somebody stole the street signs / I’mma take my sweet time.” He tells “Billboard”, “My cousins [got] caught with 30-something street signs in their attic when they were in high school. When you’re riding roads, sometimes you want to impress your friends and the girls and steal street signs. “That line came from that memory of them getting caught and going to jail. I think because that was a hard-earned memory, that is probably my favorite line.” “Ridin’ Roads” is the title track of his new EP that drops today. He says it’s just a “kick-off of the next chapter” of his music. He’s planning to release his fourth album later this year.
RILEY GREEN gets to host a hunting show AND go on tour as a country singer. It’s almost like he’s leading a charmed life, which is kind of how he got on TV in the first place. He got his break when Wayne Pearson asked him to host an episode of “Ultimate Outdoors”. “I hunted for fun. I was never a show guy [but] they asked. Now if I shoot a turkey and the camera guy doesn’t get it on camera, it’s not a show.” He missed one on the FIRST day but did kill one the LAST day. Well, all the drama in between those days ended up making it a really good show. In fact, it was so good that it was one of their most popular episodes. Riley is a very skilled hunter. When he got his “accidental” break, he made the most of it.

Taylor Swift‘s accused stalker was arrested early Thursday for allegedly breaking into her Tribeca apartment building for the second time in less than a year.

Swift, who has an order of protection against Alvarado, was not home at the time. Cops charged him with stalking, burglary, felony criminal contempt for violating the order of protection, criminal mischief and two counts of burglar tools.
