Don’t let ARIANA GRANDE give you a virus – a COMPUTER virus that is. Apparently, there’s a bootleg copy of Ariana’s “Thank U, Next” album floating around that contains MALWARE. And if you ignore this warning and download it anyway, your act of thievery will result in someone stealing your online banking information. It’s 2019, people . . . there’s no need to steal music anymore.

 

JESSICA SIMPSON gave birth on Tuesday to a baby girl. She was ten pounds, 13 ounces. And her name is Birdie Mae. She’s the third child for Jessica and her husband, former NFL tight end ERIC JOHNSON. They also have a 6-year-old daughter named Maxwell Drew and a 5-year-old son named Ace Knute.

 

JENNY MCCARTHY hated her time on “The View”, especially the power struggle between WHOOPI GOLDBERG and BARBARA WALTERS, who was in her final year. She says, “It really was the most miserable I’ve been on a job in my 25 years of show business.”

 

CHRIS LANE and his girlfriend, former “Bachelor” contestant LAUREN BUSHNELL are living together in Nashville, and they still have that “new couple” thing going on. Chris says, “Lauren moving to Nashville has been the best thing for our relationship. It’s been such an easy transition and she makes each day better. There’s nothing like waking up next to the person I love, going about my day . . . working out and working on music . . . and then coming back home to her.  I’m a lucky guy.” Lauren’s been posting photos of their new place.  It’s a high rise with a great view of the city.  One pic shows Chris sitting on a fancy stool while playing guitar and gazing through their floor-to-ceiling windows.  She captioned it, “Wanted to share my view with you guys.  Every single day I feel blessed because of this man.  This view will never get old.”

 

KANE BROWN did a really cool thing on his “Live Forever Tour.” He did meet-and-greets with kids from the Boys and Girls Clubs of America. They hung out before the show, and even joined him on stage.  He posted a video on Instagram. You see him hanging with the kids, and he even wears a Boys and Girls Clubs of America T-shirt. He also included audio from one of the shows where he tells the crowd about it. “I grew up rough as a child.  So what we do, instead of doing VIP, we give all of our meet-and-greets to the Boys and Girls Club and we let them come out and do this thing where they hang out with us and ask me questions. “‘Cause I share a special bond with these kids and I don’t even get to meet them to the day of the show.  But it’s amazing getting to hang out with them.”

 

KALEY CUOCO auditioned for “The Big Bang Theory” twice. The first time they said she was too young.

 

A new study says kids who watch “Sesame Street” do better in school, and at work later in life.

 

ARETHA FRANKLIN is one step closer to getting a section of Detroit highway named after her.

Turns out Tim McGraw’s free concert at the NFL Draft in Nashville is only part of the festivities. It’s a three-day event that starts on April 25th, and will feature more than 20 different acts . . . including Dierks Bentley, Charlie Worsham, and “Nashville” TV star Charles Esten.

 

CARRIE UNDERWOOD got a new horse . . . and posted photos of it grazing in a field next to her husband Mike Fisher. She wrote, “Every cowboy needs a horse . . . and a hat.  I’m still working with him on the Southern accent.  Meet Bojangles, the newest addition to the Fisher family.”
