“Office” fans have always wondered what Jim wrote on the TEAPOT NOTE. In Season 2, Jim placed a note in a teapot he got Pam for Christmas, but he stole it back before she noticed it. Pam finally got to read it in the show’s second to last episode in Season 9, but viewers never got to see what it said. On her podcast last month, JENNA FISCHER wouldn’t reveal much – she just said the note wasn’t written in character from “Jim” – JOHN KRASINSKI wrote it as a personal note from himself. John was asked about it on “Live with Kelly and Ryan” yesterday, and he also refused to spill.  He just said, “It was a really personal thing just for her.  That’s just for her. Everyone’s like ‘Awwww, seriously though, what did it say?  WHAT DID IT SAY!'” Jenna also said, “It was the sweetest note.  And you know on camera, Pam says, ‘I’ll never say what it said, but just know it was perfect.’  Well, I’ll never say what John wrote, but I will say, just know it was perfect.”

DIERKS BENTLEY had to temporarily shut the doors of his Whiskey Row Nashville because of COVID-19, but instead of whining about it, he opened up his wallet for the workers. He’s giving each of his hourly employees $1,000, and he’s calling on other bar owners to join him. “My heart goes out to everyone on Lower Broadway.  Feels like yesterday that it was me down there working for tips.  I am immediately giving each of our 90 hourly employees $1,000 to help in the short run as our community and country try to get a handle on the situation. I encourage all bar owners on Lower Broadway to take care of their bartenders, bar backs, waitresses, security, dishwashers, etc. the best they can.” Dierks’ side band HOT COUNTRY KNIGHTS is postponing their One Knight Stand Tour because of the coronavirus outbreak.
