Between the WWE and his movie career, JOHN CENA has been working virtually nonstop since 2002. On “Ellen” yesterday, he said, “I haven’t taken a vacation ever.” He said, “I don’t know how to tell you this, but I play fight with people for a living.  That shouldn’t be a job, so I really enjoy it and I love what I do.  And I just know that it’s going to end at some point, so I kind of want to enjoy it all.”

 

JUSTIN and HAILEY BIEBER got married again last night in South Carolina.

 

ZAC BROWN is trying very hard to crossover. On Friday he released a surprise pop solo album called “The Controversy”. . . and it’s hard to find anyone who likes it. “Variety” found social media posts with stuff like, “he’s lost his mind” . . . “he’s a desperate man looking for approval from Gen Z” . . . and “It sounds like it would work perfectly as the music for an American Eagle or Abercrombie changing room.” “Rolling Stone” says the first single is “a contender for the worst cluster of sounds ever committed to digital file.” It’s called “Swayze” and it features a singer-producer named Sasha Sirota, who’s worked with artists like Justin Bieber and Drake.  Mostly, it’s just a terrible, profane song.

 

Reese Witherspoon says her worst onscreen kiss was Robert Pattinson . . . Liam Hemsworth names Jennifer Lawrence . . . and Helen Mirren points the finger at Harrison Ford.

 

Remember when BLAKE SHELTON said he doesn’t want to release albums anymore? And that he’s definitely NOT releasing an album this year?  Never mind. He announced yesterday that his next album is called “Fully Loaded: God’s Country”, and it’ll be out December 13th – just in time for Christmas.  He says it has “five new songs” plus hits like “God’s Country” and “Hell Right”.

 

It’s the 25th anniversary of MARIAH CAREY’s “Merry Christmas” album, so she’s dropping a 2-CD deluxe version on November 1st, and launching the All I Want for Christmas Is You Tour in Las Vegas on November 22nd.

 

People have been asking JASON ALDEAN for a peek inside his tour bus, so Jason posted a video where he and his wife Britney are pointing out every modern convenience you can think of . . . and one you probably haven’t. There’s a flat screen TV in the bathroom that Jason can watch WHILE he’s taking a shower. It’s good to be a superstar.

 

Disney is kicking around the idea of doing something with “The Nightmare Before Christmas” . . . like maybe a sequel, or something live-action.

CARRIE UNDERWOOD is “pleased and happy” that this year’s CMAs are focusing on women in country music . . . past, present, and future. She adds that “it doesn’t get any bigger or better” than co-hosting with Reba McEntire and Dolly Parton.

 

KEITH URBAN and NICOLE KIDMAN went to Florence, Italy . . . and took a selfie

 

THE BAND PERRY is selling their Los Angeles-area home. It has five bedrooms, five bathrooms, and “plenty of privacy.”  Asking price is $2.9 million.  But hey, there are mountain and expansive sunset views.

 

“Frozen 2” soundtrack details were released yesterday,

 

Julie Andrews is 84.

President Jimmy Carter is 95

Jelly Roll’s wife, Bunnie XO, said on her podcast, “My husband is off the internet because he is so tired of being bullied about his weight.  And that makes me want to cry because he is the sweetest angel baby.  [He] doesn’t show it to you guys, but . . . it hurts him. The…
