I think I KNOW why these young country stars are getting divorced.  They never talk to each other.  Morgan Evans was blindsided when Kelsea Ballerini called it quits.  His breakup song even had the lyric, “why am I just finding out?” And now we’re hearing Ryan Hurd say the same stuff about Maren Morris filing for divorce.  A source told “Us Weekly“ that Ryan “wasn’t expecting it” . . . and Maren’s decision, “seems to have come out of the blue.”  Ryan hasn’t made an official statement yet.

The Daily Dot says Kansas City Chiefs fans are blaming Taylor Swift for their team’s loss to the Denver Broncos on Sunday. Conspiracy theorists believe the loss was part of a scripted plan. Twitter users say Swift’s absence from the game resulted in the Chiefs playing poorly. Others believe that the real factors were Patrick Mahomes’ illness and the cold weather.

Now that the writers strike is over, these busy bees are hard at work on movie sequels.  The worlds of “It Follows” and “Poltergeist” are being expanded. “It Follows”, the 2014 movie about a sexually transmitted . . . um, Ghost?  Demon? . . . is getting a sequel called “They Follow”.  Original star Maika Monroe is returning.  There’s no word on plot details. And Amazon is in the early stages of developing a TV series based on the 1982 horror classic “Poltergeist”. Once again, there are no details, except that the show will be set “within the world of the film.

Eric Church tells GAC that he had a great Halloween costume in college. Although, it’s not best to wait till the last minute.  They drove all over to find a costume and all the places were sold out. Until they came across this hole in the wall place that had all original Sesame Street costumes. They went out as Elmo, Cookie Monster and Eric was Big Bird.

And lastly, speaking of  “Sesame Street” They’ll have a few changes for season 56, when it comes out in 2025.  Instead of a “magazine-style” format, it’ll be two narrative-driven segments with a new animated series in between them.
