I’ve had a lot of awful jobs…my worst one was when I first came to Nashville. I got a job at the Shop at Home Network. I worked midnight, graveyard, midnight to eight. That was bad enough but then I would work all night, go home, shower and then I had writing appointments all day because I was trying to get a career started.
If you want to see the live action Disney movie ‘Mulan’ but don’t want to pay $30 to see it on Disney+, there’s another option…though it means waiting another three months.

Before then, subscribers will have to purchase a “Premier Access” pass for $29.99 to see the film, which will be released tomorrow.
Carole Baskin will be one of the dancers on season 29 of Dancing With The Stars…She says she joined the cast because her life has been a nightmare since “Tiger King” premiered and tells us that while on the show she hopes the light that should have been shone on the cats during Tiger King will happen now. “Dancing With The Stars” returns September 14th.
