GEORGE CLOONEY is asking a British tabloid to stop posting pictures of his children. He says his wife AMAL prosecutes international terrorists, so letting people see what their kids look like could put their lives in jeopardy.

What happened to CARRIE UNDERWOOD’s comedic holiday song “Stretchy Pants”?  According to OfficialCharts.com it was supposed to come out on Friday, but never did. People pre-paid for it, but it disappeared from the streaming platforms.  A thread on the fan forum, CarrieFans.com, is filled with those people.  One said:  “I can’t play it anymore even though I bought it.  I can’t find it on iTunes anymore either.” Another wrote, “They removed it everywhere.” Another fan said, “looks like they had a change of heart.” The song is about wearing stretchy pants because you’re eating too much over the holidays.  There’s a clip on Reddit, and some people think the song is a prank.  As in, it’s not even Carrie. 

Did you see last night’s sneak peek of the “Yellowstone” prequel “1883”?  If FAITH HILL looked uncomfortable, that’s because she really was.  She rode a horse western-style while dressed in an authentic corset. “Although it looks amazing, it’s terrible.  I think I have a few ribs floating around in my body.  This is real work. ”  The show’s creator, Taylor Sheridan, is a stickler for realism.  Instead of a Hollywood set, they filmed in the heat of a Texas summer.  In addition to the period clothing, the actors spent long stretches on horseback.  Oh, they also had to be authentic while going to the bathroom. Faith adds, “You learn how to pick a tree, squat down, and do your business.  [But] that’s why so many actors are drawn to Taylor’s writing because he’s portraying the story in a way that was lived.” TIM MGRAW loved it too.  “It’s super dusty and super hot.  At the same time, it’s every kid’s fantasy to do something like this, to put your chaps on, your cowboy hat, and your gun holsters every day.  You get on a horse and try to survive this journey.”

JENNIFER WAYNE of Runaway June is having a baby.  She and her husband Austin Moody are expecting their 1st child in April.  It’s a girl and they’ve named her Lily Maria.  They were married back in January.

JUSTIN MOORE has been headlining for a while, but someone asked about the best end-of-tour gift he ever got as an opener.  He remembered getting guns from Miranda Lambert and Brantley Gilbert, but the best came from Rascal Flatts. “They gave me a Desert Eagle 50 caliber pistol.  It was like number 25 of maybe 200 made.  And I was like, ‘you can’t give me this.’  [That] sticks out because I wasn’t expecting it.  And it was a really awesome gun.” 

MICHAEL RAY and Tyler Reese Tritt don’t talk much about their relationship, but they’re not exactly hiding it.  She posted pics from Halloween of herself dressed as a Playboy bunny, and Michael looking like Hugh Hefner with a robe, pipe and a captain’s hat.
