Put September 6^th of 2024 on your calendar for the release of the new Beetlejuice movie!!  If you’re skeptical about the sequel, Michael Keaton has provided an update that might get you on board.  He says he and Tim Burton are determined to make it, as close to the way they made it the first time. That includes improvising and riffing, but literally handmade stuff like people creating things with their hands and building something.  Beetlejuice 2 is in theaters September 6^th of next year.

Tanya Tucker is the FIRST…to ride a horse onto the stage of at the Grand Ole Opry on Friday.  Historians say that in 97 years, no one had ever done that.  It was the same black stallion she rode through downtown Nashville in April after she made it into the Country Music Hall of Fame. Her new album “Sweet Western Sound” came out on Friday, and there’s a horse on the cover.  So that’s why she did it.  It’s the 26th studio album of her career.
