Ella Langley and Riley Green’s duet, “You Look Like You Love Me” just reached #1 on the Billboard Country Airplay chart. And believe it or not, that meant Ella ended a 51-week draught for females on top of the chart.  The last woman to have the top spot was Lainey Wilson, last December . . . when she and Jelly Roll went #1 with “Save Me”. That’s the longest hiatus between female #1s since 2004. (You can watch Ella and Riley performing “You Look Like You Love Me” at the CMAs, here.)

Dolly Parton says she sometimes listens to non-stop Christmas music all day.  She told “People” magazine she’ll just yell, “Alexa, play holiday music for 12 hours.”  And she likes it all.  (She did the interview to plug her new children’s book, “Dolly Parton’s Billy the Kid Comes Home for Christmas“.  It’s a follow-up to last year’s book, “Billy the Kid Makes It Big”.)

Martin Lawrence tells TMZ that he’s footing the bill for his daughter’s wedding to Eddie Murphy’s son. Eddie has already paid for six weddings for his kids. Lawrence doesn’t mind covering the wedding costs and says Eddie told him it’s his turn to open his wallet.

Perhaps drafting off ‘Wicked’ mania, the iconic ruby slippers from “The Wizard of Oz” sold for a RIDONKULOUS $28 million.  That makes them the most expensive item of entertainment memorabilia ever sold.
