Maren Morris Admitted She ‘Felt A Little Badass’ Beefing With Tucker Carlson And Came Through With A Major Burn

Last fall, Maren Morris unexpectedly found herself on Fox News, when a graphic on Tucker Carlson’s show labeled her “lunatic country music person” due to her support of the trans community. Morris didn’t seem bothered by the situation, as she took the attempted insult and turned it into a massive fundraiser for the Peer Support & Crisis Hotline for trans youth, by selling a “lunatic country music person” t-shirt.

Last month, meanwhile, Carlon and Fox News parted ways last month and Morris didn’t hide her excitement, writing, “Happy Monday, MotherTucker.”

Now, Morris may have just put the final nail in the coffin of her Carlson beef.

During the 34th annual GLAAD Media Awards on Saturday (May 6), Morris accepted the Excellence In Media Award, and during her speech, she said, “OK, fine: Maybe I felt a little badass taking Tucker Carlson’s calling me a lunatic for standing up to transphobia, turning it into a t-shirt, and raising $150,000 for LGBTQ+ charities, yeah. That made me feel a little cool, but I don’t want to gloat.”

Her closing jab then got a big cheer from the audience: “I would never insult the recently unemployed.”

Check out Morris’ full acceptance speech at the GLAAD Media Awards above.

Jamie Foxx Already Has A New Show Lined Up While He Recovers From His Medical Emergency

As promised, Corinne Foxx has delivered a “work announcement” after shutting down rumors that her father Jamie Foxx is dying. According to a new report, Corinne and Jamie have already locked down a new game show for Fox after stepping away from Beat Shazam to deal with Jamie’s medical complication.

The new series will be called We Are Family and will reportedly premiere sometime in 2024, which will hopefully give Foxx plenty of time to recuperate from his undisclosed health issues.

Via Deadline:

Showcasing non-famous relatives of celebrities performing duets with their hidden famous family member, We Are Family will feature a studio audience entirely comprised of 100 contestants playing through multiple rounds of clues and gameplay to win up to $100,000 each by correctly guessing which celebrity the performer is related to before they are revealed.

The network also released a statement cementing its continued relationship with father and daughter Foxx.

“Jamie and Corinne are important partners to the Fox family,” said Allison Wallach, President of Unscripted Programming. “Their boundless energy and charming interplay with contestants are irresistible, which make them the perfect hosts of We Are Family. This series joins Fox’s fast-growing list of premium music-centric competition series.”

Corinne dropped a surprise update last week after rumors began to run wild that her father was on his deathbed from suffering a “medical complication” that was believed to have him left hospitalized for over a month. However, Corrine revealed on Instagram that Jamie had been home “for weeks” and playing pickleball.

Corinne thanked everyone for the “prayers and support” before teasing a new work announcement, which she quickly delivered on.

Meet Your New ‘Sports Illustrated’ Swimsuit Issue Cover Model: Martha Stewart

Martha Stewart, 81 years young, has joined the likes of Elle Macpherson, Kathy Ireland, and Heidi Klum on the cover of Sports Illustrated for its annual swimsuit issue. “When I heard that I was going to be on the cover of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit, I thought, ‘Oh, that’s pretty good, I’m going to be the oldest person I think ever on a cover of Sports Illustrated.’ And I don’t think about age very much, but I thought that this is kind of historic,” she said.

The previous oldest cover model was 74-year-old Maye Musk, Elon’s mom. Don’t be surprised if in five years, he buys Sports Illustrated and puts her on the cover again, to reclaim the record.

Stewart, who knows a thing or two about thirst traps, wanted to be in the issue to prove age is just a number. “Age is not the determining factor in terms of friendship or in terms of success, but what people do, how people think, how people act, that’s what’s important and not your age,” she said.

The other 2023 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue covers belong to actress Megan Fox, singer Kim Petras, and model Brooks Nader, but you know it’s Martha’s cover that Pete Davidson is buying and — if he’s like me in high school — getting in trouble for bringing it to school and showing my classmates.

You can see Stewart’s cover below.

Raylan Givens Takes His Swagger (And Hat) To Detroit In A ‘Justified: City Primeval’ Teaser (With An Official Release Date)

After plenty of speculation about a release date, FX has finally announced when Raylan Givens shall grace our TVs again. The magic date shall be July 18, when two episodes will materialize live and be streamable the next day on Hulu. The revival is based upon Elmore Leonard’s City Primeval: High Noon in Detroit novel, and a new teaser shows Raylan Givens swaggering into Detroit. Naturally, he must rescue and dust off his infamous hat, too.

Time for a rewatch of all six seasons, no? Hmm. Well, if you don’t have time to squeeze that in with all the new TV crowding your queue, we recently suggested watching an essential episode, “Long In The Tooth,” which highlights this lawman’s legendary status and also acts as a reminder of how the Marshall Out Of Water rolls around in the world. He should have a swell time hunting bad guys in Motor City.

While he also probably hunts for ice cream, Raylan will be in pursuit of the “new Boyd” — Clement Mansell, “a.k.a. The Oklahoma Wildman, a violent, sociopathic desperado who’s already slipped through the fingers of Detroit’s finest once.” via Entertainment Weekly. The show also takes place about five years before Raylan faces mandatory retirement age, but it doesn’t feel like he’ll ever be too old for this sh*t.

FX previously revealed only the tiniest hint of footage, so seeing the hat and boots in action feels like coming home, even though (obviously) Raylan will be far from the hollers of Kentucky.

Justified: City Primeval premiere on July 18. This will follow the world premiere on June 1-4 at Austin’s ATX TV Festival.

Beyoncé Shared A ‘Savage’ Mother’s Day Tribute To Tina Knowles-Lawson, From Whom She Got This Sh*t

Beyoncé didn’t need Mother’s Day to make her mom, Tina Knowles-Lawson, feel special. Knowles-Lawson can turn on “Savage Remix” any day and hear her daughter assert, “And my mama was a savage, n****, got this sh*t from Tina.”

But Beyoncé was performing to a sold-out Baudoin Stadium in Brussels, Belgium on Sunday, May 14, for her recently launched Renaissance World Tour, so why not uplift her mama (and all moms) even more on Mother’s Day?

“Happy Mother’s Day to all of the beautiful mothers,” Beyoncé said to the crowd in a fan-captured video posted by a Renaissance World Tour Twitter account.

The all-time-most Grammy winner posted to Instagram a projected photo of Knowles-Lawson above the Renaissance World Tour stage and a video of Knowles-Lawson having the time of her life backstage, dancing along to Beyoncé’s iconic line about her from “Savage.”

“Happy Muva’s Day,” Beyoncé captioned her Instagram post. “I love you so much Mama and I’m so grateful for all you do for me.”

Knowles-Lawson appeared to enjoy her Mother’s Day, as she also posted from Belgium. Her Instagram post is a video of her view from the floor of Baudoin Stadium, dancing as Beyoncé started performing “Love On Top.”

“This audience is the best yet !!! Love them !!! [red heart emoji],” she captioned it.

The Renaissance World Tour will next appear at Principality Stadium in Cardiff, Wales, UK. See all of the dates here.

Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson Opens Up About The ‘Three Bouts Of Depression’ He’s Had In His Life

Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson is physically strong (remember the time he flexed so hard that the cast on his arm exploded? Because I do). He’s also mentally healthy, after going through “three bouts of depression,” as he explained on The Pivot podcast.

“My first bout of depression was down there in Miami,” he said about his time at the University of Miami, where he played football. “Didn’t want to go to school. I was ready to leave. I left school. I didn’t take any midterms and I just left. But the interesting thing, at that time, is I just didn’t know what it was. I didn’t know what mental health was. I didn’t know what depression was. I just knew I didn’t want to be there. Wasn’t going to any of the team meetings. Wasn’t participating in anything.”

Johnson’s second round of depression came years later, after he found his calling as a wrestler then an actor, when he got divorced from his wife, Dany Garcia, who is also his business partner. “Years later, and went through it again when I got a divorce… Didn’t know what it was,” he explained.

The most recent episode was in 2017 (a year after his “candy ass” comments), but this time, he “Knew what it was… And luckily, at that time, I had some friends who I could lean on and say, ‘You know, I’m feeling a little wobbly now. Got a little struggle happening. I’m seeing a little gray and not the blue.”

You can listen to (and watch) the podcast below.

Suga Brought Out Halsey To Perform ‘Suga’s Interlude’ Days After Halsey Updated Fans On New Music

Suga has been on a tour of NBA arenas in recent weeks, taking in the Knicks’ recently ended playoff run at Madison Square Garden on April 30 and watching the Lakers advance to the Western Conference Semifinals last Friday, May 12, at Crypto.com Arena. It’s all in a day’s work for an NBA Ambassador.

But the BTS star is used to being an arena’s main attraction. That was the case at Kia Forum in Los Angeles on May 10, May 11, and May 14 during his first-ever headlining solo trek in support of his D-Day album under his Agust D moniker.

On Sunday, May 14, Suga brought out Halsey to perform “Suga’s Interlude” live together for the first time. The track is housed on Halsey’s January 2020 album Manic. Kia Forum posted a two-minute video of the moment:

“Last time you were in LA, you were at my house,” Halsey told Suga on stage. “And now, I feel like I’m in your house.”

“This is my house!” Suga said, playing up the crowd.

Earlier in the day, Halsey acknowledged Mother’s Day by sharing a throwback photo from when she was pregnant with her nearly two-year-old son.

“I gently reminisce on days like this one, pictured. Days before I knew just how large a transformation I had in store. The growing circumference of my body couldn’t even begin to compete with the ways that my heart soul and mind would expand,” the caption reads. “I stepped into motherhood like a pair of new leather shoes. As they wear-in and soften each day, I can’t imagine what it was like before them. Worth every blister. (It helps, I suppose, that I have the best little boy in the world…) For all the roads that took me here, I am so grateful to be his Mommy. Happy Mother’s Day.”

Last Friday, May 12, Halsey also provided an update on new music on Tumblr, seemingly nodding toward splitting from Capitol Records last month (as reported by the likes of Billboard and Variety).

Read the post below.

“Hello. Hi. I know you want new music.

I want you to know that I am hard at work. There were some restrictions I was under, for a lot longer than it seemed, but they are no longer in the way. I’m sure you can fill in the blanks.

I’m always writing aimlessly and lawlessly as you know. But ‘album mode’ is a whole other arena and the games are just beginning. I am working on some of my favorite stuff I’ve ever conjured. Wild to think that it hasn’t even been 2 years since IICHLIWP! I know it feels like so much longer. It does to me too. But there were 2 years and 7 months between HFK and Manic and honestly I think it was worth it. The time I took. And the growth that got me from that album to the next.

Thank you for having the patience and the faith.

It will pay off in the long run.

This feels like my debut all over again, in some ways.

Your love and support have carried me through a time where I thought maybe I only had a few albums left in me, but I know now that there are so many more than I could have ever dreamed.

Anyways, I love you.

Down the rabbit hole I go

See you soon.”
