Toni Braxton wore a sheer black button-up blouse and a see-through lace skirt to her son’s college graduation, and some people thought it was inappropriate.
Jelly Roll is currently on the Big [Butt] World Tour right now with Post Malone. But the “World” part of this tour has never been fully guaranteed for Jelly due to his past criminal background. There are certain countries that will not accept American citizens if they have felonies. And England was one of them. But apparently, some wheeling and dealing went on behind the scenes, and now Jelly is GOOD TO GO. And his first two shows are at Tottenham Stadium! He announced it in a very excited Instagram post yesterday. He said, “Biggest announcement of my career. They let me come to England, baby. I can’t believe I am even coming to England, but the fact that my first time I am doing two stadium shows with Post Malone . . . This is huge.”
Willie Nelson and Steve Perry have teamed up for a beautiful rendition of Journey’s famous song from 1983, “Faithfully”. It’s wonderful to hear Willie’s understated vocals against Steve’s soaring voice. Proceeds from the song benefit Farm Aid, which is celebrating its 40th anniversary this year. Here’s what Steve Perry said about the process, “No one has a voice or vocal phrasing anything like Willie Nelson . . . Singing this duet with Willie has been something I’ve always wanted to do.” Steve went on to say, quote, “I’ll never forgot what it was like hearing his voice on the radio growing up and [then] meeting him. It was very iconic for me. I mean, he has become the Sinatra of country music.”
It sure looks like Riley Green and Megan Moroney are dating now. After months of speculation, and even a beach vacation together that they passed off as “just friends” . . . it now seems pretty clear that they are an ITEM. Some fan snapped some photos of Riley driving around with Megan in Alabama. Now why would they be in Riley’s hometown if he wasn’t introducing her to his parents? Or showing her around, like any boyfriend/girlfriend would do . . .After the ACMs, they were spotted at an airport together, too. So, while it’s not Instagram official yet. It seems like they are a couple.
Nashville has welcomed an unexpected newcomer to the scene: Don Graves, a 100-year-old World War 2 veteran.

At a time in life when most people are long dead, Don is just getting started.

And with his new contract, Don isn’t just singing about history . . . he’s making it.
