Ron Howard wants “Backdraft” to be the next of his movies to get the TV series treatment.  That’s the 1991 firefighter movie starring Kurt Russell and William Baldwin.  He told “Entertainment Weekly”, that, “We could do it efficiently and safely . . .He clarified that a series is NOT in the works, but that producer Brian Grazer talks about it from time to time.  If it were to happen, it would be Ron’s third movie to become a series.

Tyler Hubbard explains why he didn’t change the title of his song “5 Foot 9”, after finding out his wife Hayley is 5’10”.  First, it was already written, and you don’t change a finished product.  Plus, he wasn’t sure at the time if he would even record it, so it wouldn’t have made a difference.

No doubt Maren Morris had good intentions when she apologized to the LGBTQ+ community on Friday’s episode of “RuPaul’s Drag Race”.  But it DID sound like she was trying to represent all of country music. And now, someone in “country music” . . . namely Thompson Square . . . has taken issue with that.  Yesterday they Tweeted, “Didn’t realize there was a spokesperson for all of country music these days.”  I’m not sure what was she apologizing for anyway,  did she take their skittles?
