Luke Combs and Garth Brooks sat down recently and talked about the current state of Country music. Luke said Country has a little bit of everything now, quote, “You can have the trap beat and the acoustic songwriter Zach Bryan thing and they’re both doing stadium shows.” Doesn’t make it country….

Tom Cruise is allegedly on a long, carefully planned mission to become Sir Tom Cruise. A source says this has been years in the making hosting events, shaking hands, embedding himself deep in the British film world. Apparently he knows exactly how the system works and he’s been playing the long game. At this point, don’t be shocked if the next Mission: Impossible ends with him bowing politely and accepting a sword tap on each shoulder.

Miranda Lambert is developing a new TV series for Hulu inspired by her music and real-life friendships. The show centers on a messy female friendship, an escape from an abusive marriage, and a fresh start in a small Texas town that turns out to be full of secrets.
