A list of good kissers includes Prince Harry, and a list of bad kissers includes Vin Diesel, and Morgan Wallen.

95-year-old Clint Eastwood says instead of doing remakes, filmmakers should, quote, “do something new or stay at home.”  He also says despite his age, he hasn’t lost his touch as a director.

Post Malone and Jelly Roll are on their Tour and they really started off with a bang. Except when a firework from their stage hit a fan in the head in Toronto. Luckily the fan seems to be mostly okay.  But she suffered burns on her scalp. The wildest part about it was the fan was filming Jelly sing “Save Me”.  And you hear the lyrics, “I’m so damaged beyond repair” . . . and then a flying projectile hits her in the head and her hair starts to smoke. She posted later from a hospital bed with the caption, “Ouch I have a burn now, it hurts.” And that’s apparently this is not the first time this has happened to a fan at a Post Malone show.  It made the local news, and another woman commented about having pieces of firework go down the back of her jacket at a previous show. The comments were full of people hoping that Jelly and Post would be in touch and either pay for her medical expenses, or hook her up with free tickets to a show.

Gretchen Wilson is famous for her song “Redneck Woman. She said, “In the last 10 [or] 20 years everybody has decided that the word ‘redneck’ means something other than what it does.  And I guess because I’m the redneck woman, it kind of falls on me to define this for everyone. . .”Redneck does not mean racist . . . Redneck means it comes from being out in the farm, in the field all day long and coming back in and with your neck sunburned because you’ve been out on the plow all day.” She even said that while she was performing on “The Masked Singer” she wondered, “Oh my god, what are they gonna do when this mask comes off and they realize they gave the trophy to a redneck?” So, she’s trying to reclaim the word redneck away from negative stereotypes

Last week, “Billboard” released a list of the Top 100 Country Artists of the 21st Century.  The Top Ten were Kenny Chesney . . . Tim McGraw . . . Taylor Swift . . . Toby Keith . . . Keith Urban . . . Rascal Flatts . . . Luke Combs . . . Jason Aldean . . . Blake Shelton . . . and Carrie Underwood. So how does that list stack up against the Top 100 Country Albums of the 21st Century? 

Here are the Top Ten:

1.  “Traveller” by Chris Stapleton

2.  “This One’s for You” by Luke Combs

3.  “Dangerous: The Double Album” by Morgan Wallen

4.  “If I Know Me” by Morgan Wallen

5.  “What You See Is What You Get” by Luke Combs

6.  “Montevallo” by Sam Hunt

7.  “Taylor Swift” by Taylor Swift

8.  “Here’s to the Good Times” by Florida Georgia Line

9.  “Fearless” by Taylor Swift

10.  “Crash My Party” by Luke Bryan

So, Chris Stapleton has the #1 album of the century, but is only the sixteenth best artist?  And Morgan has the #3 and #4 best albums, but is only the eleventh best? And Kenny Chesney was named the #1 artist, but his best album comes in at #26 with “No Shoes, No Shirt, No Problem

The Sphere in Las Vegas cost $2.3 billion to make.  During Kenny Chesney’s show all of the sound and visuals went out, but that didn’t keep Kenny from entertaining the crowd. He and his band had fun with it, and took it in stride. Kenny even led everyone in a sing-along of “Living in Fast Forward”.

Morgan Wallen’s “I’m the Problem” is the #1 album for the second straight week.

Liam Cunningham is 64.  “Game of Thrones”.
