The Chief fits in anywhere he’s at and sounds flawless when he’s doing what he’s asked to do. Which is play some damn rock and roll.

Eric Church brought some country twang to the Aerosmith & Friends show Thursday (10/29/26) night at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles. If you’re unfamiliar, Aerosmith had a two-night return to the stage joined by their famous friends.

Eric performed covers of their hits “Rag Doll” and “I Don’t Want to Miss a Thing”. And he sang the hell of them too. You can watch Eric’s performance starting at the 53:00 minute mark.

Now that Halloween 2026 is over, it’s time to get ready for the real holidays.

Lainey Wilson continued her collaboration with the brand MacKenzie-Childs for a set of ornaments for $99.95 each. See…they’re even less than a $100 for a set. Of course they’re already selling fast.

They are checkered glass balls with jewel accents and topped with a cowboy hat. It comes in gold and white, red and white, and black and white. As of last night though, only the black and white version was still available. Figures.

This man had a simple request.

Gavin Adcock asked Kacey Musgraves to borrow her set of hanging disco balls that are part of her stage production. He said, “I’ve got a giant bull skull that’s about 20 foot by 20 foot.

I think she should let me borrow them things so I can hang some nuts on this bull. Let me know Kacey.”

As of now, she still hasn’t responded. Can someone call her or something?

It’s friends are for.

Lainey Wilson’s husband, Devlin “Duck” Hodges, says his friends want him to set them up with Ella Langley. He said, “I feel bad because I gave all these guys false hope that if I did it, they can do it.”

Duck adds that Lainey jokes with him that he’s gotten famous twice now. Once with the Steelers and once by being with her. And she ain’t lying about that.

Here we go.

It’s official: The “Sand in My Boots Festival” will return to Gulf Shores in May 2027.

Event organizers made the announcement via social media, that Morgan Wallen’s festival will return to the Gulf Shores of Alabama May 21st-23rd in 2027.

In a separate press release, it stated…

“Presented by Morgan, alongside AEG Presents, the music festival and beach vacation will once again invite fans into Morgan’s world, bringing together his favorite artists, musical influences, and personally curated experiences against the backdrop of the Alabama coast,”

And Morgan said, “one thing I’m looking forward to the most about bringing Sand In My Boots Festival back is being able to have new concepts on stage and trying to elevate the experience overall for the fans, myself and other artists on the bill…

I think it’s going to be really top-notch and we’re going to try to do it even better this time.”

We still don’t know the lineup…but that won’t stop people from going into debt starting now. And according to the site, hotel packages bundle festival passes with lodging, shuttle passes and merchandise. That of course left the price of standalone passes undefined.

Package deal prices on the site start at $300.91 per person per night for General Admission. According to the site, a 5% booking fee applies to all package deals. Please visit sandinmybootsfest.com for details.

Halloween is usually considered more of a kids’ holiday than adults’…but some adults want to claim it for themselves, especially if they can get a day off work for it.

In a new, annual poll, 70% of Americans say they believe Halloween is as much for adults as it is for children. That’s up from 62% last year. And 81% of parents agree Halloween belongs to grown-ups too. That’s up from 71%. Which fills my heart.

58% of people take that a step further, and think Halloween should be a national holiday, like Memorial Day, Independence Day, and Christmas Day. And 78% of Gen Z’ers agree with that.

53% of people said Halloween is their favorite holiday.  Supposedly, this is the first year the percentage has crossed 50%.

And it’s getting so crazy that some adults don’t want to share it with children anymore. 62% of people say they believe adults deserve their own, adult Halloween night. That’s up from 54% last year too.

No one should be surprised by this. Especially considering how his video for the “Worst Way” got 59 million views…and counting.

Riley Green has been featured in People magazine’s “Sexiest Man Alive” issue, where the 38-year-oid was dubbed “Country’s Hottest Cowboy”. I’ve seen his stage on tour…and he’s got a lot of bras hanging up there. Mainly from women who can’t help themselves from having to throw their bras at him while he’s performing. Riley is lucky he hasn’t lost an eye yet to be honest.

He previously won the title of “Sexiest Country Star” in People’s 2025 Readers’ Choice Poll after receiving 350,000 votes, beating out contenders like Cody Johnson, Shaboozey and Warren Zeiders.

He is included in the 2026 Sexiest Men Alive feature alongside his busy career milestones, including his album “That’s Just Me”, his role as a coach on season 30 of The Voice, and his acting stint on the “Yellowstone” spinoff “Marshals”.

At 38, Riley is still currently single ladies and admits that balancing a fast-paced touring and television schedule makes dating a challenge.

She’s like the female version of Elvis when it comes to making money in her afterlife now.

Dolly Parton left another gift for fans. According to “Page Six Hollywood”, a secret posthumous memoir from reportedly sold for $13 million in a, “wild, heated bidding war.”

All details are currently unknown, like when she wrote it, what it’s about, or when it’ll come out. And my memoir would probably sell for $13 dollars tops. I least I hope it would.
