It’s not the best timing, but Jessica Simpson is trying to sell her L.A.-area home for $17.9 million.  She and her husband Eric Johnson just announced this week that they’re separated

 A 53-year-old French woman was scammed out of $850,000 by A.I. photos of Brad Pitt.  She thought he loved her and that she was paying for his “kidney cancer treatment.”

Blake Shelton paired up with Post Malone on “Pour Me a Drink”.  And the two of them have become good drinking buddies. But when it comes to partying, Posty puts Blake to shame. He said, “I used to think I could go pretty hard, back in the day.  Nobody I’ve ever met has anything on Post Malone.  I mean, he is living a stereotypical country music song every day of his life.” When Post was asked what he wanted to focus on for this year, he said, “I feel like, for a long time, I was trying to go as fast as I could.  And now I just want to take my time.” So maybe that means less partying, too?  We’ll see.

Ringo Starr just released his country album “Look Up'” last week and this week, he’s taping a country music special at the legendary Ryman Auditorium. He’s teaming with Jack White, Sheryl Crow, Billy Strings, and others guests likeRodney Crowell, Mickey Guyton, the War and Treaty. The special will air on CBS and Paramount+ sometime this spring. Part of the proceeds will benefit the American Red Cross’ California wildfire relief efforts.

We heard Carrie Underwood was signed on to do “America the Beautiful” at the inauguration.  Lee Greenwood will be there.  Billy Ray Cyrus and Kid Rock are both playing Trump’s “Victory Rally” the day before the inauguration.  It’s at Capital One Arena. Rascal Flatts and Jason Aldean are both performing at the inauguration ball after the swearing in on Monday. The Village People will be at multiple events. 

Taylor Swift is celebrating becoming a billionaire by expanding her $17.75 million Rhode Island mansion. Contractors are planning on building an addition onto the oceanfront home in Westerly’s Watch Hill neighborhood.  The new wing will feature another bedroom and more bathrooms, and the existing kitchen also will be getting a makeover. The new bedroom will be approximately 16 by 24 feet, but it was not specified how many bathrooms will be put in. The estate boasts 700 feet of private beachfront. The current eight-bedroom, 10-bathroom escape is situated on 5.23 acres featuring manicured gardens, a breathtaking patio and a pool. 35 year old Taylor reportedly paid for the house, which has eight cozy fireplaces, in all cash in 2013. The estate inspired her 2020 song “The Last Great American Dynasty,” which is about an American socialite who once lived there, Rebekah Harkness.
