Bill Hader says he once got fired from his job at a movie theater for spoiling the ending of “The Titanic”.  Female First quotes him as saying, “I got fired from a movie theatre for ruining the end of ‘Titanic’. I was working in a movie theatre, and Titanic hadn’t come out yet, and a sorority had bought out the movie theatre. And they were in the doorway and I was going, ‘Hey, guys. Can you guys move?’ They were making fun of me, they said I looked like Charles Manson. Which I kinda did. I had a little bowtie on and cummerbund, and I was like, ‘Hey guys, please move.’ And they were like, ‘No.’ So when they went in, as I tore the tickets, I was like, ‘Enjoy the movie. The boat sinks at the end. Leo dies.’ And they were like, ‘No, he doesn’t.’ I go, ‘Yeah, you think he’s asleep. But he’s frozen.’ And that showed them.”

Here’s a fun Morgan Wallen fact.  He’s never had a female duet on any of his albums.  But apparently that’s coming to an end.  A fan asked Morgan Wallen to confirm if his new song “What I Want” will be a female duet.  Morgan responded by saying, “Indeed sir.”  Now fans everywhere are hoping his duet is with Megan Moroney. And to keep the rumor mill going, Megan Moroney just posted the phrase “Get me to God’s Country” on her TikTok and her fans are going crazy. Is she going to be Morgan’s first female duet?  Is she just trying to help him sell merch?  Or is she just capitalizing on Morgan’s epic “SNL” exit?
