NICOLAS CAGE has a crow named Hoogan, who not only TALKS, but also calls him names. 

GOLDIE HAWN says we’re failing to help our kids through the trauma they’re facing as a result of COVID-19.  She thinks we need to concentrate on preventive care and early intervention, instead of just providing “crisis care” when things get out of hand.

Here’s some good news.  Maddie & Tae’s TAYLOR KERR is “recovering well” . . . and her newborn Leighton is “healthy and strong, and growing every day.”  Taylor’s bandmate MADDIE FONT gave the update in an interview. As you may know, Leighton arrived three months early . . and is still in the hospital, for now. 

KANE BROWN and his wife Katelyn got some ink to celebrate the birth of their newborn daughter, Kodi Jane.  Kane got a “Kodi” tattoo on his hand, while Katelyn went with the full “Kodi Jane” on her forearm. The shared a photo of themselves holding hands, and you can see both tattoos in the pic.  A couple of years ago they each got tattoos of their first daughter, Kingsley, so it looks like this will be a tradition.

KELSEA BALLERINI debuted an unreleased song called “What I Have” at the Grand Ole Opry on Saturday.  Like so many things these days, it was inspired by the pandemic.  Here’s how she introduced it: “A theme I’m finding the last couple of years as we’ve been forced to step back and look at our lives. “[It’s] made you kind of look at what you have differently.  And for me, I’ve started to really appreciate the little things a lot more.”

Just two days after claiming the second-longest Jeopardy! winning streak ever, Amy Schneider’s run ended on Wednesday. Schneider’s run ended after 40 games as Rhone Talsma, a librarian from Chicago, won Wednesday’s match with a correct Final Jeopardy response. He ended the game with $29,600, $10,000 more than Amy — who didn’t answer the Final Jeopardy clue: “The only nation in the world whose name in English ends in H, it’s also one of the 10 most populous.” ( “What is Bangladesh?”)
