Have you ever wanted your very own Morgan Wallen and Post Malone plush toy?  Well, now’s your chance. Posty’s even comes with his signature face tattoos.  I’m not sure exactly who the target audience is for these, they kind of look like humans with cat ears. A TikTok account called “Country Plushie” is selling them for $29.99 each.  It’s unclear whether Morgan and Posty are actually involved, though. (You can check out the Morgan’s plushie, here.  And Posty’s plushie, here.)

Martin Short is 75 years old, and everyone seems to love him right now . . . probably because of his HILARIOUS show, “Only Murders in the Building”.  And now, he’s got another gig. Martin has been tapped to host yet another revival of the “Match Game” game show for ABC.  It first premiered in 1962, with Gene Rayburn as the host.

Freddie Mercury called it quits on a joint recording session at Michael Jackson’s home studio in 1983 because Michael brought in his pet llama. This isn’t the first we’ve heard of this.  In the 2012 documentary, “Freddie Mercury: The Great Pretender”, Queen’s manager said Freddie had called him to get him out of the studio because of the llama. 

Mother’s Day is in a few weeks on Sunday, May 11th.  So to get ready, Billboard put together a special playlist with 30 songs that celebrate mom. (I’d like to add Lenny Kravitz’s “Thinking of You”.)

Stanley Tucci says his two youngest kids have British accents, and he’s had to “speak British to them,” so they understand him.
