If you spent any time watching “Chrisley Knows Best” on the USA Network . . . you should be aware that the Chrisleys do NOT know best. Back in June, Todd and Julie Chrisley were found guilty on federal charges of bank fraud, tax evasion, and conspiring to defraud the IRS. They’d been caught submitting fake documents to take out more than $30 MILLION in loans to “fund their lavish lifestyle.” Todd was sentenced to 12 years in prison plus 16 months of probation, while Julie got seven years behind bars and 16 months of probation. Their shows have been canceled, obviously.

Jackson Dean is ‘Yellowstone Famous’ knew “Don’t Come Lookin'” would be featured on “Yellowstone”, but seeing the actual episode as it aired, blew him away. “They played a like minute and a half of my song, [and] then it goes to Kevin Costner, and I’m like, ‘Oh my God, there’s a piece of film in the world that has my song playing and Kevin Costner in it at the same time. This is insane.” He’s been watching Kevin Costner’s work all his life and it was pretty mind blowing for him.
