As reported late yesterday, Jay Leno suffered serious burns to his face on Saturday, when one of his cars burst into flames inside a garage in Burbank. According to TMZ, Jay burned the left side of his face, but there was no damage to his eye or ear. He was taken by ambulance to a place called Grossman Burn Center, but it’s not clear if he’s still there. He had to cancel a gig on Sunday in Las Vegas. He did release a statement yesterday saying, that he’s ok, and he’s taking a couple weeks to get back on his feet.

Morgan Wallen didn’t win a CMA last week, but that’s okay, because he had a really good year. He says it’s because he stayed focused and did the work. “I think we played like 75 shows or something this year. And I did them all mostly in a sober state of mind. I was really, really focused.”

The people over at the CMA’s are happy today!! They found out the ratings for this year’s CMA Awards were UP compared to last year. According to the “Hollywood Reporter”, 7.6 million viewers tuned in this year, compared to 6.8 million last year. The 2021 number was an all-time low, so the organizers are probably relieved that the show got a bump this year. Probably had a lot to do with the hosts…Eli Manning and Luke Bryan…maybe…
