Morgan Wallen’s facing jail time.
In April, authorities arrested Morgan Wallen after his rooftop tantrum endangered people on the street below.
This was not his first incident of bad behavior. However, this time, it may cost him more than some bad press and some business ties.
Despite his legal team’s efforts, Morgan Wallen could end up behind bars.
In this handout photo provided by Metropolitan Nashville Police Department, musician Morgan Wallen poses in a booking photo on April 8, 2024 in Nashville Tennessee.

“If you’d told me then that brilliant actor would appear in anything I’d written, I’d have thought you were insane.

There's no bad blood between Megan Thee Stallion and Justin Timberlake. The two stars were spotted on camera backstage at the MTV VMAs on Sept. 12, and in a clip, social media users commented that it appeared Megan was yelling at Timberlake as he passed by. Fellow *Nsync member Joey Fatone also seemed to say something as well. Shortly after the clip went viral, though, a source who saw what happened told Variety there was no truth to the speculation, saying there was "zero fight."
"He said, 'It's so nice to meet you,' and she said 'No, no this don't count, this don't count. We gotta meet proper,'" the insider said. "It was very cute."

The 2023 MTV Video Music Awards did not disappoint in terms of solid, energetic performances as well as chaos that fit the brand of the award show. From Sabrina Carpenter’s opening performance and raunchy improvisation at the end of “Nonsense,” to Taylor Swift fangirling over the Nsync Reunion, pop culture fed itself many times over Tuesday night. Shakira and Diddy gave comprehensive glimpses into their careers before receiving the Video Vanguard and the Global Icon Awards, respectively.
What looked like a dangerous stage malfunction for Olivia Rodrigo’s set during “Vampire” transitioned as planned into a live performance of “get him back!” and what looked like an error turned out to be a live re-enactment of the “Vampire” music video. Doja Cat, Demi Lovato and many more also brought the house down with their sets.

Miranda Lambert had an interesting childhood. Her parents were private investigators who often brought home survivors of domestic violence. They also farmed their own fruits and vegetables and got their meat from Lambert’s father’s hunting efforts. Here’s a look back at what it was like growing up in the Lambert household for the future country star.

The Lamberts were not immune to hard times. One day, Miranda’s father, Richard, decided his family would never be hungry. So he and the family did subsistence farming and lived off the land.
“My dad’s a hunter, so we had tons of meat,” Lambert told Southern Living Editor in Chief Sid Evans on Biscuits & Jam. “And he planted a garden in a compost pile, and we raised rabbits and that was us working in that garden.

In an ultimate show-must-go-on moment in country music history, Wynonna Judd was not about to let the legacy of the Judds slip quietly into the sunset, rather than go out as spectacularly as intended, after her mother, Naomi Judd, died by suicide in April 2022. And so the Judds farewell tour that had been scheduled for last fall did proceed, against all probabilities, with a bevy of top stars trading places as Naomi’s stand-in each night. The emotional end of that road was captured for not just one but two new specials premiering on different Paramount platforms — “Wynonna Judd: Between Hell and Hallelujah,” a feature-length documentary that debuted Wednesday on Paramount+, and “The Judds: Love Is Alive — The Final Concert,” a two-hour performance special bowing tonight on CMT at 8 p.m. Et/Pt.

Some musicians never reveal their secrets. John Mayer, however, recently offered some insight into one of his most controversial songs. During the Sacramento, CA stop of his solo acoustic tour on April 8, the singer stopped to talk about "Paper Doll," a song long believed to be written about his ex, Taylor Swift. "I wonder if people don't like it because it sounds a little pissed off," he said, adding that this isn't entirely accurate. "I don't really like 'pissed off' as a song. I think it was more hurt."
Mayer admitted that the song could be perceived as slightly bitter. "Is there something about it that's a little b*tchy?" he asked. "There might be. I try not to give b*tchiness in the songs, it happens sometimes. I guess I don't do it very well - sarcastic b*tch - but I didn't really see it.

It’s a well known secret that reality shows are often scripted, with producers orchestrating the drama behind the scenes. However, one Catfish insider recently revealed that the MTV reality show is all too real.
‘Catfish’ was based on a documentary about a fake online relationship (L-r) ‘Catfish’ Executive Producer and host Nev Schulman and host Max Joseph | Jason Kempin/Getty Images for MTV
Catfish: The TV Show is based on a 2010 movie of the same name. Both the movie and the show center on the world of online dating. The documentary follows Nev Schulman as he discovers that he has been the victim of a catfish — a.k.a. someone pretending to be someone else online.
The reality show, much like the documentary, follows real people as they work to figure out if the person they’ve been talking to online is fact or fiction. Schulman serves as the host alongside Max Joseph.
