Now that KIM KARDASHIAN is single, she’s fielding offers from, quote, “everyone from royal family members to A-list actors to athletes to billionaire CEOs.”  But while she’s keeping an open mind, she’s not really looking yet. 

 ROBERT DE NIRO’s lawyer says he doesn’t turn down any movies, even the bad ones, because his estranged wife is bleeding him dry.  When they first separated in 2018, he was paying her $375,000 a month, but now it’s around $100,000 a month, which is still a ton.

An online petition is asking Netflix to cancel their plans for a COLTON UNDERWOOD reality show, given the way he treated Cassie after “The Bachelor”.  It has more than 24,000 signatures.  Netflix hasn’t commented.

 

Well, it was only a matter of time.  There’s now a movie in the works based on the classic game “Rock ‘Em Sock ‘Em Robots” . . . and VIN DIESEL will star in it. 

Given his acting chops, it would seem logical that Vin would play one of the robots.  But it sounds like that won’t be the case. The movie is about, quote, “a father and son who form an unlikely bond with an advanced war machine.” 

LUKE BRYAN told People that COVID-19 didn’t knock him down as hard as it could have, but he’s feeling very “blessed” to be on the other side.  He said he “didn’t have a long set of symptoms” but there were a tough couple of days. Luckily, his wife was there to help.  Quote, “There were times when Caroline was nursing me back, so I was certainly amazed to move through that.” In a different interview he opened up about his self-quarantine.  Quote, “I put myself in a part of the house and stayed away from my boys.  I didn’t want them to miss school so [one of the hardest things was] not being able to hug my kids.” Missing the family is one thing, but NOT being on TV, that was a living hell. Quote, “It was really, really tough not being [at ‘American Idol’].  That was the toughest part of quarantine.  It was really tough for me to have to miss out, but I was honored and amazed that Paula [Abdul] stepped in for me.”


 

People are NOT watching award shows like they used to.  Sunday’s ACMs scored 6.08 million viewers, which made it the lowest-rated and least watched ACMs in history.  However, it still drew a larger audience than all the other network competitors combined . . . so, don’t expect the shows to go away.

 

 

KANE BROWN loves his relationship with the Boys and Girls Clubs.  He says, quote, “It feels amazing to make a big impact in their lives by bringing them to their first show or giving them advice of what I did [while] growing up with hard times like some of them have.  It’s been an awesome experience all around.”

 

 

During a recent performance PARKER MCCOLLUM saw some guy in the crowd throw a drink on a woman.  He stopped the show, pointed at the loser, and had him kicked out of the place.  The crowd cheered.

WALTER MONDALE, vice president under JIMMY CARTER, died yesterday.  He was 93.  He ran for president in ’84, but got crushed by RONALD REAGAN.
 
 
Scottie Pippen has revealed his oldest son Antron Pippen passed away on Sunday. He was only 33. “Antron suffered from chronic asthma and if he hadn’t had it, I truly believe he would’ve made it to the NBA. He never let that get him down, though — Antron stayed positive and worked hard, and I am so proud of the man that he became.”

 

Taylor Swift has revealed she is already working on her next re-recorded album, following the release of ‘Fearless (Taylor’s Version)‘ earlier this month. It’s not clear which of the six albums she previously promised fans she’d be re-recording is the one in question. The album will be one from the first six in her back catalogue (not counting ‘Fearless’), which starts with her 2008 self-titled debut and runs through to 2017’s ‘Reputation‘.

Focus Features has announced that it has begun production on Downton Abbey 2. According to the press release, “The original principal cast will all once again return for the second film which began production last week and is set to release Christmas 2021. In addition to the original cast, Hugh Dancy, Laura Haddock, Nathalie Baye and Dominic West will join the cast.”

 The Dodgers gave legendary broadcaster VIN SCULLY a World Series ring.
