HILARY DUFF went ballistic on a guy who was taking pictures at her 7-year-old son’s football game in a park on Saturday. Hilary asked him who he was “with”. He said he was just there practicing his photography, that he wasn’t doing anything illegal, and even offered to show her his ID. .She said it was making her uncomfortable, and added, “I’m asking you human to human, as a mother, if you don’t know anyone here, can you please stop taking pictures of our children playing football this morning.” But he just kept arguing that he wasn’t doing anything wrong. Hilary took video of their interaction and posted it on Instagram.  Some of her followers are suggesting that RACE played a part in her discomfort. The photographer has yet to speak out, so it’s not clear if he WAS paparazzi, or if he was just a guy practicing his shooting skills.

 

MAREN MORRIS is currently pregnant with her first child, and apparently, she’s unsure why the parenting books are advising her to have a PLAY ROOM. “Someone tell me [what] a play room is. When I was little, I’d play with Barbies in MY room, but now people are telling me the Barbies get their OWN room.  [I’m] not judging anybody, it just does not compute that a small kid gets two living spaces.

 

It’s official. The “Friends” reunion special is happening.  It’ll be available along with the entire series when HBO Max officially launches.  All six main cast members are coming back, and they’re all making between $2.5 million and $3 million. They negotiated as a group – just like they did back in the day to get their salaries raised to $1 million per episode, which was a record at the time. This is NOT going to be a scripted revival of “Friends”.  Probably more like a clip show where the cast reminisces.

Eric Church’s mom didn’t originally like his song “Two Pink Lines”, but it didn’t have anything to do with the teens waiting for the results of a pregnancy test. Apparently, Eric’s mom thought he was singing about “two pinks LIONS,” not “two pink lines” . . . and she said, “I just don’t understand the hook . . .Where are the lions?”

 

Garth Brooks apparently believes that the best songwriting involves lyrics with PURE rhymes. He said, “We’re not talking about getting close.  It’s not about ‘tequila’ and ‘tractor’ rhyming . . . or ‘dime’ and ‘line’ . . . because one was an ‘m’ sound and one was an ‘n’ sound.”
