The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction ceremony went down Friday night. It won’t air until the 27th of this month on HBO, but the big news was that STEVIE NICKS is the first woman to be inducted TWICE . First with FLEETWOOD MAC, and now as a solo artist.  She was even joined by DON HENLEY for their hit “Leather and Lace” – and HARRY STYLES did the TOM PETTY party in “Stop Draggin’ My Heart Around”.

 

In his annulment papers, NICOLAS CAGE says he was too drunk to know what he was doing when he got married. He also says his new bride failed to disclose her criminal history, or the extent of her relationship with another man.

 

DEMI LOVATO called out an article that pointed out her, “fuller figure” in its HEADLINE. She said she was angry that someone thought it was okay to do that, when she’s been so public about her recovery from an eating disorder.  The writer of the article later apologized.

 

KYLIE JENNER is backing off her claim that she’s a completely “self-made” billionaire. She said, “I can’t say I’ve done it by myself . . . I have had a lot of help and a huge platform.”

 

THE ROLLING STONES have postponed their upcoming North American tour dates. The band says that MICK JAGGER’s doctors have advised him not to tour right now, but there’s no word what’s wrong with him.  The Stones say he’s expected to make a complete recovery.

 

CARRIE UNDERWOOD’s four-year-old son Isaiah is already making fun of HER name. She said he called her “Carefree Underwear” . . . and it made her feel like she was back in elementary school again.

 

CARLY PEARCE says, “I have a really weird, true phobia of vomit. I worry when I’m on my bus with my band that somebody’s gonna get sick and what would I do. Or in meet-and-greets, if somebody has thrown up.  I mean, it’s a thing.  I don’t know how to explain it, like, it’s real.  Anytime anybody is sick I have fears I don’t want to be around them for weeks.  Vomit is my thing.”

 

MIDLAND got pretty creative with their “Mr. Lonely” video. It starts with a fake old school “chat line” commercial with a pretty girl waiting for your call, then it cuts to a bunch of hot-looking cowgirls line dancing in a club.  It was filmed on the set of the Netflix show “The Ranch”. The fake commercial has a phone number that flashes on the screen . . . and if you call it you’ll get asked if you want Midland tickets, merchandise . . .  “or just some company.”  While we’re on the subject.  Midland guitarist JESS CARSON and his wife Camille welcomed their third child on Wednesday.  It’s a girl they named Rosalia Jean.  Their other children are 22-month-old Parker Emmanuel, and Ida Mae who is three.

 

Michael Phelps and wife Nicole are adding to their family! The 33-year-old Olympic swimmer took to Instagram yesterday afternoon announce that he and his wife are expecting a third child together. Michael and Nicole are already parents to sons Boomer, 2, and Beckett, 1.

 

LUKE BRYAN posted a clip where he’s in his house doing an acoustic version of his new song, “Knockin’ Boots”. His dog Choc is there

 

You can see GEORGE STRAIT’s wife Norma in his “Codigo” video . . . but don’t blink. She one of the guests at an outdoor barbecue where George is playing and people are dancing.

A rare first edition copy of Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone sold for $90,000 at auction. The book was first released in 1998 in an initial run of 500 copies and would later go on to sell more than 120 million copies worldwide.  The book contains a few typos including a misspelling of “Philosopher’s” on the back cover and a repeated line.  The book was signed by J.K. Rowling in 2003 in advance of it being sold at a charity auction.

 

There is now a perfect party game for those obsessed with the Bravo Real Housewives incarnations. “Who’s That Housewife!?” features hand-drawn illustrations of Housewives that are randomly selected and the player places the card on a tiara without looking has to guess who it is based on clues from other players.  The game comes with 6 tiaras, 45 cards and a 30-second sand timer and retails for $55.
