Lainey Wilson and her fiancé Duck Hodges are going to be on “Celebrity Family Feud” tonight. They face off against Leanne Morgan . . . and a clip from the show is going viral. Things got spicy when Steve Harvey asked a Britney Spears-themed question. He said, “Name a Britney Spears song that describes you in the bedroom . . .” Lainey slammed the buzzer first and without missing a beat she blurted out, “Hit Me Baby One More Time”. The crowd all died laughing . . . Steve looked stunned . . . and Duck couldn’t help but grin. The answer ranked number two on the survey board. Leanne quickly fired back with her own pick, which was “Toxic” . . . and that response was number three on the board. Want to find out the #1 answer? You can check it out when the episode airs TONIGHT on ABC. It will stream tomorrow on Hulu.
Ella Langley is back on stage and she’s sharing what she’s learned. She was talking about her past struggles when she said, “I’m so grateful for the girl that went through those things . . . Because now, I’m the woman that I am because of her. If you’re struggling with something today, God’s doing something in your life that’s gonna make you so grateful for the struggles that you went through. But in the moment, it still sucks.” She didn’t directly address why she took her break, but made it clear that she’s back, thankful, and ready to keep moving forward.
Charley Crockett and Gavin Adcock’s back-and-forth has been one of the spiciest storylines in country music this year, and now Morgan Wallen has been pulled into the spotlight too. It started when Charley blasted “bro country” and defended Beyoncé’s “Cowboy Carter” album. He was calling out what he saw as hypocrisy in blaming her for ruining the genre. He also took aim at Morgan for openly admitting he doesn’t listen to much country music. Gavin quickly fired back, labeling Charley a “cosplay cowboy” and mocked his covers and questioned his authenticity. Through it all, Morgan kept quiet . . . until this past weekend in Toronto. Gavin joined him on stage for their usual performance of “Up Down” . . . This time, Adcock held up a Charley Crockett shirt. And Morgan responded by flipping the double bird.
