“Joker” tops a list of the most overrated movies of all time.  It’s followed by “The Shawshank Redemption”, “Up”, “Everything Everywhere All at Once”, and “Grease”.

According to “Life and Style” magazine, Morgan Wallen is preparing to go to jail for 30 to 60 days based on the chair-throwing incident. That chair fell over 60 feet from a rooftop and almost landed on two nearby police officers.  And now he’s facing felony and misdemeanor charges. The hearing has been postponed to December.  His lawyers tried to get him a slap on the wrist back in April, but prosecutors rejected that. This source says, “Morgan is being told the best scenario is a 30- to 60-day sentence . . . I don’t think the prosecutors want him to skate away with no time . . . people will think it’s because of his celebrity status.” And if the felonies were to stick, it could cause havoc on his future tour schedule without being able to travel internationally.

Back in 2019, Brooks & Dunn released “Reboot”, which featured a lot of big Country stars covering their most famous songs. It was a commercial success, giving Brooks & Dunn their first #1 album in over a decade. “Reboot 2”, will be out November 15th.  And it will pack even more of a punch than the first one. Brooks & Dunn gave the artists free reign to interpret the songs any way they wanted, so they wouldn’t be tied down to the original recordings. Here are just a few:

1.  “Play Something Country” . . . Lainey Wilson

2.  “Neon Moon” . . . Morgan Wallen

4.  “Ain’t Nothing ‘Bout You” . . . Megan Moroney

5.  “Brand New Man” . . . Warren Zeiders

6.  “Believe” . . . Jelly Roll

7.  “She Used to Be Mine” . . . Riley

10.  “Ain’t No Way to Go” . . . Mitchell Tenpenny

13.  “She’s Not the Cheatin’ Kind” . . . Hailey Whitters

15.  “Hillbilly Deluxe” . . . Hardy

Jelly Roll and Machine Gun Kelly’s song “Lonely Road” came out in July and surprised a lot of people, because they used to HATE each other. So, why was there so much beef in the first place? Jelly chalked it up to the fact that there just weren’t many white rappers back then.  The whole scene was competitive, so the hate was almost automatic. MGK said it was like they were “bred to hate each other.”  Jelly joked that the fact that MGK was “skinny and handsome” didn’t help either.

Carrie Underwood will make her debut as a JUDGE on “American Idol” in February, and Kelly Clarkson said, “I think that’s brilliant.  Like, what better person to have . . . somebody that’s won that show, to come back.  She’s gonna do great.”

REO Speedwagon has halted their tour due to “irreconcilable differences” within the band.

“A Bar Song (Tipsy)” by Shaboozey is STILL the #1 song on the Hot 100.

Jimmie Johnson is 49.  One of the top drivers in NASCAR.

Kevin Clash is 64.  Former voice of Elmo on “Sesame Street”. 

Rita Rudner is 71.  Comedienne who’s been doing Vegas shows since 2000.

Elvira is 73.  The Mistress of the Dark.
