Welcome to The List –
It’s been a while since Chris Stapleton fans got new music from the singer, but that all changed this week when he dropped “Starting Over.” An upbeat, acoustic guitar-heavy ode to optimism and new beginnings, it was a first glimpse into the next album cycle. Revealing that it’s also the title track of his next album, due out in mid-November.
Speaking of new music, Dierks Bentley is enjoying some downtime during the pandemic writing music and spending time with his family. “You know we’re off the road it’s a chance to reset creatively, and really think about the next album..the music and I know it’s a rush to get back out there and tour. But, I’m just tryin to sit back and find what little silver lining can exist for me creatively. We’re just working on writing songs and find out what the next tracks are going to be. Obviously, alot of family time and really being in Colorado.”
Many of us can’t wait to get back into the theaters…so, plans are moving forward for the second weekend of nationwide cinema reopening as nearly half of the United States’ 5,800 theaters are expected to be back in business. At least 2,500 theaters are expected to be open as 20th Century/Marvel’s “The New Mutants” is planning to open at 2,412 of those locations. That will make the long-delayed “X-Men” horror film the widest release in theaters this weekend.
Denise Richards is one of the stars on ‘The Bold And The Beautiful.’ The show is one of the few filming new episodes. To keep everyone safe, they’re doing something unique. They’re using mannequins as stand-ins for actors. “The other actors we’re within eight feet of each other, we have to have a mannequin . So, the mannequins are ‘eye lined’ and then the actor the other actors off camera are reading lines”
