TOM BRADY got his hair dyed orange by pediatric cancer patients as part of a Buccaneers charity event called “Cut and Color for a Cure”.            AARON RODGERS says he “definitely” plans to retire as a Green Bay Packer.  He also recently said the end could be near.  “The older you get, the interests change, and the grind, I think, wears on you a little more.”

Someone threw red paint on the statue of Samantha from “Bewitched” in Salem, Massachusetts.  Apparently, the guy just wanted to get arrested.

Cameras were rolling when BOB SAGET’s famous friends got together to remember him . . . and the result is a special that hits Netflix tomorrow.

SAM HUNT’s wife Hannah gave birth to the couple’s first child last month, but Sam didn’t announce it until Tuesday.  He shared the news while on stage at the Stars for Second Harvest charity concert in Nashville. “I recently had a baby girl named Lucy Lu.  I think being out here and in the music business and being out on the road, has sort of hardened my heart.  My heart’s definitely a lot harder in a lotta ways since I left that small town. It’s amazing how that little girl melted that all away overnight a couple of weeks ago.  I’ve been filled with gratitude.  I just want to say up here on the Ryman stage how grateful I am to have been a part of country music for the last 10 years.” A video of the big reveal has been making the rounds. 

Is there a difference between a fiddle and a violin?  KELLY CLARKSON has been arguing with BLAKE SHELTON about it for years. Blake told her there’s NO difference, but Kelly disagreed.  She thought a fiddle had “steel strings.”  Well, it was settled by violinist LINDSEY STIRLING on a recent episode of “The Kelly Clarkson Show”. Lindsey said it’s the same instrument.  The only difference is “the way it’s played.”  It was a bitter pill for Kelly to swallow because you know Blake will never let her forget it. Lindsey as a quarter-finalist on Season Five of “America’s Got Talent” . . . but she’s done a million things since then, including coming in second on the 25th season of “Dancing with the Stars”.

CHRIS LANE’s wife LAUREN BUSHNELL revealed on Instagram that she has a pregnancy condition called “marginal umbilical cord insertion.”  It occurs in roughly nine out of every 100 pregnancies, and it can cause complications.  But she says the baby is “very healthy” right now and is “measuring a little big,” which is good.  She’s due in October.   

 KELSEA BALLERINI has some time off the road, so she decided to take ballet lessons.  She’s not a newbie.  She danced for 10 years “back in the day” and thought it “would be good for mind, body, and spirit.”  She shared a video on TikTok of herself talking about it, and then in the class at the ballet barre.

BRETT YOUNG was performing “In Case You Didn’t Know” at a recent show when he saw a model standing on the side of the stage.  So he took a chance and brought her out for a romantic slow dance.  Yes, it was his lovely wife Taylor. 

CARRIE UNDERWOOD performed at her annual fan club party on Tuesday at the Grand Ole Opry.  But everyone is talking about what happened behind her during the show.  Someone posted video of her seven-year-old son Isaiah and three-year-old boy Jacob in the family section dancing like crazy.

A lady in upstate New York went on a wild hunt when her 15-year-old dachshund went missing.  She eventually came across a movie crew an hour away in Albany, and they said the dog had been picked up by a celebrity . . .Turns out it was none other than known dog rescuer HILARY SWANK.  After a quick phone call, a car drove up with the missing dog in Hilary’s lap. After returning the dog, Hilary took a photo with the owner.  She said, “[Hilary’s] not the type of person who’s going to blow the horn telling people what she did.” For those who don’t know, Hilary actually has a foundation centered around rescue animals called Hilaroo. Their mission is to, “bring together youth who have been given up on, with animals who have been abandoned, to help heal one another through Rescue, Rehabilitation and Responsibility Training.”

Johnny Depp is 59.

Michael J. Fox is 61.  Real name: Michael Andrew Fox.  He didn’t want his stage name to be Michael A. Fox because, as a Canadian, he thought people would say the “A” like “eh?”  So he picked “J” instead.  It doesn’t stand for anything.

Dick Vitale is 83.  College basketball announcer.

Donald Duck is 88.
