Results of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame fan vote are in, and the winner is . . . Phish, with 330,000 votes followed by Bad Company, Billy Idol, Cyndi Lauper, and Joe Cocker.  The inductees will be announced Sunday night on “American Idol”. The fan vote doesn’t have a ton of influence on who makes the Hall.  It only counts for a SINGLE BALLOT, among roughly 1,200 that are cast. But there’s only one year when the winner of the fan vote didn’t make the Hall:  It was the Dave Matthews Band in 2020.  But they got in four years later.

Kane Brown tells People magazine that he doesn’t want his children to ever want for anything. “I had a rough childhood. I don’t want my kids to go through anything I did. That’s why I want to give them the life that I never had.”

Zach Top was doing an interview for a recent edition of Billboard magazine when he said he traded in his cowboy dreams to be a singer. “I wanted to be a cowboy really bad. And my parents definitely realized, and I think I realized at some point that I was no good at being an actual cowboy, so maybe the closest I could get was to sing about them. ”

The Star says Zoë Kravitz has allegedly fallen for Austin Butler’s charm, despite her friends’ worries about his partying past. An insider reveals, “He’s a code red. He’s into late nights and drinking, and he’s a big influence on the people around him. Their chemistry is obvious on and off camera. Austin checks the boxes for her. Austin has so much charm and affability. Zoë’s setting her sights on him and seeing where this goes.”

Meghan Markle tells The Daily Mail that box hair dye once left her looking like ‘Elvira’. “So, my family had just moved to California, and because it was the pandemic, I kept ordering boxed hair dye. I thought, ‘I’m going to look just like she does on the box’, and instead, it was this very inky, almost Elvira-esque black hair.’’

Radar Online says Hugh Jackman’s friends are allegedly giving him the cold shoulder over his new romance with Sutton Foster.  A source claims his pals disapprove of him leaving his wife, Deborra-Lee Furness, for the stage starlet. “Few people back home appreciate the way Hugh kicked his devoted wife to the curb for a stage starlet. A lot of his friends are giving him a hard time, and that’s been tough for him to take because he’s such a sensitive guy. He’s really stung by the backlash. Trouble is, it’s difficult for him not to be together with Sutton. She’s an incredible person and he’s infatuated with her. They click physically and on many other levels.”

Rob Lowe dressed as the Easter Bunny for Chris Pratt and Katherine Schwarzenegger’s kids . . . and made them cry. Katherine posted video of Chris helping Rob get into costume . . . which then cuts to Rob as the Easter Bunny, dropping eggs on the lawn.  This part of the clip is soundtracked by the children crying hysterically. It’s funny because at first, Rob is dispersing the eggs one-by-one, but then he just overturns his basket and dumps the rest . . . possibly because he wanted to stop traumatizing the kids. Rob and Chris were co-stars on the show “Parks and Recreation”.

Riley Green is one of the hottest names in all of country music, so it makes sense that Hollywood would come calling. He said he’s read for a couple of shows. He went on to say that “Yellowstone” was such a great launching pad for Lainey Wilson.  And he loves how shows are using a lot of country music nowadays.

 Even though Carrie Underwood is now a judge on “American Idol”, the anxiety of being a contestant has never left her. She posted a funny video the other day of a moment right before they’re about to start filming on “American Idol” . . . and she said, “For the record, the ‘American Idol’ music gives me anxiety.  I get this flash of fear in my heart.” While many things have changed on “Idol” over the years, the one constant is that dramatic intro music. (You can listen to the clip of Carrie, here.)
