KATE BECKINSALE revealed the cause for her ER visit last month.  She threw her back out trying to put on a pair of leggings in her hotel room.  But she’s much better now

ADRIAN HOLMES, who plays Uncle Phil in the upcoming “Fresh Prince” reboot, was involved in a fatal traffic incident Monday night.  He and two other drivers hit a man who was just lying in the road in downtown L.A.  The man died from his injuries.

MEGHAN MCCAIN says “The View” was a toxic environment, where she felt ganged up on for being the only Republican.  The thing that finally convinced her to leave was when she returned from maternity leave, and JOY BEHAR made a nasty comment about not missing her.  

ADELE’s choice for her last meal ever is McDonald’s.  She likes to get Chicken McNuggets, a Big Mac, and fries . . . she said she eats it at least once a week.

DUSTIN LYNCH is no longer dating Instagram model Kelli Seymour.  In a recent interview he said he’s single, and looking.  He doesn’t have to look too far. He’s a country star, but he still has to be careful because he has an image to keep up.  In fact, sometimes he even wishes he wasn’t famous. “I’m jealous of band guys because they get to go out and have fun at bars and out in the crowd after the show [and] I’m kind of just stuck.”  He DID get to mingle last weekend at Arizona’s Country Thunder. He rode around the campground and people offered beers or a spot in a drinking game.  And what IS his favorite drinking game?  “I excel at flip cup.  I played a lot of beer pong in college, but not lately.  I’m onto flip cup now for some reason.”

ASHLEY MCBRYDE has opened up about last month’s horse riding accident, and it was more serious than we thought.  It left her with broken bones, staples, and a grade three concussion.  And yet, she only took three weeks off.  “You don’t want to just sit around and think about [your] headache, you want to get up and go.  As I’m healing and getting better and dealing with dizzy spells, knowing that I have a show to go and do, I think it helps the healing process.” As much as she wanted to get back on stage, she did have to take it slow.  “We started with [sitting on] stools.  Now it’s to where, if I lose my balance at all, I’ll just grab hold of the mic stand, just to have something steady. My body is getting to where it’s like, ‘We can do this.’  I just have to remember, ‘Okay, we have ten shows to do, let’s not do a power squat and lay on our back and slide across the stage.’  Trying to keep it a little dialed back.”

GARTH BROOKS announced yesterday that he’s doing an intimate two-night stand in Nashville.  “Garth, The Ryman & You” will be going down November 19th and 20th.  Tickets go on sale this Friday.  He’s also hinting that he’d like to do another Vegas residency. 

TRACY LAWRENCE’s 16th annual Mission: Possible Turkey Fry and Benefit Concert will happen November 23rd in Nashville.  Tracy will perform at the concert portion, along with Dustin Lynch, Michael Ray, and Lainey Wilson.  Proceeds go to the Nashville Rescue Mission.   

BRETT YOUNG’s new Christmas album is out Friday.  It features several guest stars, including Maddie & Tae, Colbie Caillat . . . and a guy that Brett says made it look too easy, DARIUS RUCKER. “He came in and he was ready [and] he just slammed it and was out the door as soon as we had what we needed.  I was like, ‘I’m not just a fan of you as an artist, now I’m a fan of you as a professional and a singer, like through the roof.'”

John Krasinski is 42.  Jim on “The Office”.

Snoop Dogg is 50.

Jimi Westbrook from Little Big Town is 50.
