“Time” announced SIMONE BILES as their Athlete of the Year and OLIVIA RODRIGO as their Entertainer of the Year.  They’ll be announcing Person of the Year and Heroes of the Year on Monday on their YouTube channel at 7:30 a.m

  JUSSIE SMOLLETT was found guilty on five of six counts of making a false police report.  Each count could land him up to three years in prison and a $25,000 fine.  Jussie will appeal his conviction.

  A California law firm estimated that Homer Simpson should have amassed $143 million in legal bills from all the injuries he’s suffered over the last three decades on “The Simpsons”.  His most expensive injury was brain damage, which should have cost him more than $1.5 million.

JIMMY BUFFETT is launching a Margaritaville cruise line at the end of April.  It’ll sail out of Florida to the Bahamas for two nights and three days.  Tickets start at $249 a person.

If you follow JASON ALDEAN on Instagram, you know that he loves spending Christmas on a warm beach somewhere.  It’s his happy place.  Well, not this year.  I think somebody talked him into changing it up. Quote, “We decided to take everybody on a family ski trip for Christmas.  It’s probably the first time I’ll be around snow at Christmas, ever.  It’ll be fun.” And by “fun” he means “NOT fun.”  Somebody asked if he’s a good skier.  He said, quote, “No, man, I’m from the South. “I grew up around the beach, not the snow.  I typically like to go up to the top, ski down once, and then ski right into the bar.  Go and have a few beers, and then meet ’em back at the house later.”

A “successful parents night out” is usually a quiet dinner, and then maybe a show.  Unless you’re TYLER HUBBARD.  He and his wife Hayley did the dinner part on Sunday, and then went to a very loud Nelly concert at Bridgestone Arena.  It was topped-off by Tyler and Brian Kelley performing with Nelly.

Here’s a prediction:  MORGAN WALLEN will sell out EVERY single ticket on his Dangerous Tour.  Fine, I cheated.  48 out of the 54 dates are already sold out. 

LUKE BRYAN and his wife Caroline celebrated their 15th anniversary yesterday.  Not sure if they were together, though.  She’s been very busy hosting E!’s “Daily Pop” this week . . . and during one episode she said they’ll “pretend Saturday is our anniversary” and they’ll celebrate “for real this time.”

JAKE OWEN is offering a $5,000 reward to help catch the “punk” who vandalized his Good Company Entertainment headquarters in Nashville on Wednesday.  He has video footage plus other details that will help identify the guy. 

JOSH DUGGAR was found guilty of downloading and possessing child pornography.  He faces up to 40 years in prison. 

DREW BARRYMORE said she’s been sober for two and a half years.  (Full Story)

 Cast and crew members from “Rust” signed a letter saying the set was professional and NOT dangerous and chaotic, as some reports have claimed.

BRETT ELDREDGE has been very open about his struggles with depression and anxiety.  On Tuesday, he shared a video of himself walking in a wooded area while audio of a poem he wrote played in the background.  The poem is about how the “tough days make the good days really count.”

PRESIDENT BIDEN will make his first late-night talk show appearance tonight since the election tonight . . . on the “Tonight Show”.

ALANIS MORISSETTE’s “Jagged Little Pill” musical is going to be a novel.

Jelly Roll’s wife, Bunnie XO, said on her podcast, “My husband is off the internet because he is so tired of being bullied about his weight.  And that makes me want to cry because he is the sweetest angel baby.  [He] doesn’t show it to you guys, but . . . it hurts him. The…
