Lady Gaga will be in “Wednesday” Season 2, but there’s no word what her role is.  It’s currently in production in Europe.

George Strait will receive the Willie Nelson Lifetime Achievement Award at the CMA Awards on Wednesday.  They air live from Nashville at 8:00pm on ABC. In George’s career, he’s had 17 CMA wins . . . 83 CMA nominations (which is the most ever) . . . 60 #1 singles . . . and over 70 million albums sold. The award was first given out in 2012 to Willie Nelson, which is why it’s named after him.  And this award is NOT given out every year. Here are the country icons that have received this honor:

3. Jonny Cash . . . . . 2015

Jelly Roll recently said that he won’t be headlining a tour in the United States next year.  But then a few days later, he announced 12 stops in Canada. He’s calling it the Beautifully Broken Great Northern Tour.  And it’s a big deal for him.  Because of all his past legal troubles, he wasn’t sure if he was ever going to be able to do shows internationally.

Willie Nelson just released a behind-the-scenes video from the recording of his latest album, “Last Leaf on the Tree”. It’s called, “Rooted in Time: Willie, Micah, and the Making of Last Leaf on the Tree”.  It lasts 15 minutes and has this memorable quote from Willie:  “We’re all gonna die.  It’s just a matter of when.  And I’m 91, almost 92.  I’m not afraid of dying.  I’m not afraid of anything.”

We still don’t know who the next James Bond will be, but the producers say he’ll be in this 30s.  Daniel Craig was 38 when he took the role, but Roger Moore, Timothy Dalton, and Pierce Brosnan were all in their 40s.

Golden Bachelorette, Joan Vassos found herself with two guys left going into the finale of The Golden Bachelorette.

During last night’s  finale of the Golden Bachelorette , 61 year old Joan Vassos, 61, decided between Chock Chapple and Guy Gansert after spending a night in the Fantasy Suite with each man. Joan had hoped to enjoy a camera-free night in the Fantasy Suites with Pascal Ibgui. But, he chose to end his journey before the overnight portion of their date, telling her that he didn’t feel a “spark” after they participated in a Tahitian bonding ceremony together. In the end, she chose Chock.
