Radar Online claims Trisha Yearwood has allegedly asked Garth Brooks to spice up their marriage. She wants more nights out…and less nights in front of the TV…Exotic getaways for two and nights with the lights down low…no more Pizza Hut and Netflix. She’s losing some weight and Garth is…well, watching her do it..it’s not easy for us couch potatoes once we’ve sprouted those roots in the cushions.

A “mini-riot” broke out during a stage musical version of “The Bodyguard” in the U.K., because audience members wouldn’t stop singing along. The production had to be stopped during “I will Always Love You”, which resulted in fights in the aisle and people being forcibly removed…which proves they in FACT will NOT always love..at least each other…

The Skywalker Saga is NOT over . . . not when there’s more money Disney can milk from it. During a Star Wars Celebration event in London on Friday, Lucasfilm announced that there’s a new movie in the works featuring the return of Daisy Ridley as Rey. There are actually THREE movies being planned, but it sounds like they’re unrelated . . . so we’re not necessarily looking at another trilogy.

We’ve seen Blake Shelton’s Hollywood job, his Hollywood home, and even his lovely Hollywood wife . . . but our favorite place is when he’s on his Oklahoma farm. On a tractor. Being real. He shared another video of himself riding his Kubota tractor as his song “Corn” plays in the background. He’s bundled up, but as far as he’s concerned, spring is in the air.

Welcome to The List,
Game show host Chuck Woolery died on Saturday at his home in Texas. . . . TMZ reports that he went to lie down because he wasn't feeling well.
Chuck was the original host of "Wheel of Fortune" back in the late '70s . . . he went on to host the "Scrabble" game show in the '80s . . . and of course "Love Connection" from 1983 to 1994.
He also did some later shows, like "Lingo" on the Game Show Network, and "Greed" on Fox.
There's no word on a cause of death, Chuck Woolery was 83…

"Billboard" put out their list of the Top 100 Country Singers of All Time . . . and some folks are less than pleased. Specifically, because Taylor Swift was ranked above Brooks & Dunn, Hank Williams Jr., and Toby Keith. Also, Jason Aldean didn't even make the list at all..what’s THAT all about…..

Kansas City Chiefs superstar Patrick Mahomes is making around $50 million a year. But now, his wallet will be 0.03% LIGHTER . . . thanks to FINGER GUNS.
The NFL has fined Patrick $14,069 for the "violent gesture" he made last week, while celebrating a touchdown. He'd just scored on Buffalo, and Patrick used both hands to mimic firing dual pistols.
Let's be honest . . . he wouldn't have been fined for mimicking a bow and arrow . . . throwing knives . . . or dramatically acting out the extremely violent "finishing moves" from "Mortal Kombat". (Although that would be amusing.)
