PAUL MCCARTNEY is 78 years old and practices EYE YOGA. He learned it years ago from a yogi in India. Here’s the routine . . .Quote, “Head still, and then you look up as far as you can, one, two, three, go back to the middle, then down, one, two, three, then back to the middle. You do three lots of that, then go to the left and the right. Now you’ve got a cross, up and down, and sideways, now you do the diagonals. Your eyes are muscles whereas your ears aren’t, so you can’t exercise your ears. But your eyes, you can.”
Everyone thinks MEGHAN MARKLE dropped into PRINCE HARRY’s life, brainwashed him, and tore him away from his family. But he says he’s wanted out since he was a kid. On DAX SHEPARD’s “Armchair Expert” podcast, he said, “When I was in my early 20s, I had a case of, ‘I don’t want this job. I don’t want to be here, I don’t want to be doing this. Look what it did to my mom. How am I going to settle down and have a wife and a family when I know that it’s going to happen again?'” He added that having his own family gave him the same feeling of helplessness he had as a child when he was, “in the back of a car while my mom was being chased by the paparazzi.”
Two years ago, JADEN SMITH launched his “I Love You” food truck, to feed the homeless in L.A.’s Skid Row area. And now he’s turning it into a restaurant. He’ll fund it by encouraging people who CAN pay to pay MORE, in order to fund the free meals for those in need. There’s no word when or where it’ll open.
Tickets for the upcoming NFL season went on sale yesterday, and the HOTTEST game is in Week Four. That’s when TOM BRADY makes his first return to New England as a member of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. It’s happening on October 3rd. As of last night . . . the cheapest prices for a single seat on the secondary market were around $1,100. And if you want a GREAT seat at the 50-yard line, you’ll have to pay up to $12K. Chances are, the prices will only go UP as we get closer to the game. For comparison, prices for the Patriots’ home game against the New Orleans Saints the week before start at around $300. If Brady keeps up his current pace for passing yards per game, he’ll surpass Drew Brees for the NFL’s career passing record . . . DURING that Week Four game in New England.

- “Hot Beer”, Dillon Carmichael. He’s the nephew of country singer John Michael Montgomery and Montgomery Gentry’s Eddie Montgomery. This six song EP includes a cover of Montgomery Gentry’s “Lucky Man”.
- “All of Your Stones”, southern rockers The Steel Woods. It includes a cover of Lynyrd Skynyrd’s “I Need You” that features Ashley Monroe.
ALAN JACKSON’s new album “Where Have You Gone” is out today. Alan said, “Country music is gone . . . and it’s not coming back. I’m 62 years old . . . I’m not some 30-year-old stud. It’s not the same, but somebody has to bring it back.” Alan said, “Real country songs are life and love and heartache. They’re drinking, singing about Mama and having a good time, sad things, fun things.” That’s what you’ll find on the new album, which he describes as “harder country” than anything he’s ever done. “It’s not old-school, it’s the real school.”
JIMMIE ALLEN is very proud of the striped bass he recently hauled in. It’s huge. He posted a photo yesterday and wrote, “This fish ’bout kicked my butt. But I got him in finally.”
If you have a burning desire to be a country star, but you’re not ready to move to Nashville yet, post videos of yourself on YouTube. That’s how TENILLE ARTS got discovered when she was 15. A manager reached out after seeing her clips, and that got her going in the right direction. She’s 27 now.
