You Won’t Believe Who’s Dominating the ACM Nominations This Year


ACM Awards Nominations Led by Megan Moroney, Miranda Lambert, Ella Langley and Lainey Wilson.  Moroney leads the pack with nine nods, followed closely by Lambert with eight and Langley and Wilson with seven each. The first male artist to show up on the list of top contenders is Chris Stapleton with six. Zach Top has five nominations for this year’s ACMs, and Riley Green and Cody Johnson are tied with four.

Today is National Siblings Day and to celebrate, I found a list of some of the best brother and sister duos in movies and TV:  Luke and Leia from “Star Wars”, Wednesday and Pugsley Addams from “The Addams Family”, Ross and Monica Geller from “Friends”, and Alexis and David Rose from “Schitt’s Creek”.

Taylor Momsen, who played Cindy Lou Who in the live-action “How the Grinch Stole Christmas”, is proving that it can be quite dangerous to tour with AC/DC.  Her band The Pretty Reckless is currently opening for them.  Back in 2024, she got bit by a bat while on tour with them in Spain.  And now, she got bit by a venomous spider while in Mexico.

The Daily Mail says Madonna has allegedly lined up Britney Spears for a comeback on her new album. The 67-year-old pop icon reached out to Spears in December and January to write together. Spears has so far refused to engage. Madonna’s new album is expected to drop later this year. A source tells the newspaper, ‘Madonna believes Britney Spears is not just a brilliant artist but a lovely person, and they had talked about working together again.’

Michael J. Fox had a fun response to CNN prematurely announcing his death.

You’d probably never guess that Morgan Wallen is actually an indie rock kinda guy.  On his SiriusXM radio station, he said, quote, “I really just like the sounds and how compressed and how clean [they are] and how all that goes together.  That’s just what I listen to most right now.” He’s previously mentioned that he listens to The War on Drugs and Nothing But Thieves.

USA TODAY says Jessica Alba’s lotion brand Honest is going viral because it is being used aboard the Orion rocket during the Artemis II space mission. Alba wrote, “Something out of my wildest dreams… Honest in space. What?!” and added, “@astro_christina sending you all the Honest lotion when you’re back on Earth – and I hope you found it up there!”

Today’s the day that the Artemis II space crew will complete their 10-day mission.  NASA has been sharing the astronauts’ wake-up songs on a Spotify playlist, and yesterday it was Charley Crockett’s “Lonesome Drifter”. Charley commented on NASA’s post, and said, quote, “When I was playing on the street in New Orleans years back, a woman named Angel told me I had to start down low if I wanted to get high.  Lord’ve mercy was she right.”

RadarOnline.com says Shia LaBeouf is allegedly headed for jail because of his recent Mardi Gras arrest. A source tells the magazine, “People around him are worried he could end up with serious jail time. No one seems to be able to pull LaBeouf out of this self-destructive spiral he’s in. It’s really difficult for everyone in his life to watch him flame out like this because when he’s sober and taking care of himself, he’s a totally different person. It’s alcohol that brings out his demons and once he’s in that state, there’s no reasoning with him. He’s completely out of control right now, he’s not even trying to keep a lid on it. Everyone that cares about him is desperate to get him help, but so far, he’s refusing.”

RadarOnline.com says Euphoria co-stars Sydney Sweeney and Zendaya were allegedly kept apart at the show’s season 3 premiere in Los Angeles. An insider says the pair have a long running feud due to politics and other issues.  “During the press tour, any interactions between the pair are being kept to a minimum to avoid any awkward encounters on camera. There is a complete ban on ­journalists asking about tensions between Zendaya and Sydney. It was an open secret that Sydney had the hots for Tom and was flirty with him when he would come to set. That did not go down well with Zendaya. They have not really hung out socially since then. He’s still on bail and not doing himself any favors ahead of his sentencing because he keeps getting himself into more hot water.”

Geo TV says Jennifer Aniston allegedly plans to marry her partner Jim Curtis. A source tells the newspaper, “Jen has never been so happy. They are thinking of a small wedding with just their closest friends. Europe is at the top of the list. She does not like big crowds, so it will be very private and personal. He’s very normal, very kind, and wants to help people heal. It’s a beautiful thing to commit your life to someone like that.”

Page Six says Jonah Hill secretly married Olivia Millar. The couple recently welcomed their second child. He says, “I have two kids now. The only thing that could separate me from my family is the editing room. I love the writing, I love the shooting, but editing … it’s like dessert every day. Even the problems are dessert.”

Page Six says the save-the-date cards for Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s wedding have allegedly gone out.  The big day is set for July 3rd in New York City. Many people thought the wedding was going to take place at Taylor’s Rhode Island mansion on the beach. 

Josh Ross was doing a recent interview with CountryNow.com when he said his hockey background still influences how he approaches his career. “Hockey taught me discipline and how to show up every day, even when you don’t feel like it. That’s something I carry with me.”

Ella Langley tells People magazine that she loves to go to thrift stores when she gets to a new town. “I love thrift shopping because you never know what you’re going to find. Half my favorite things are stuff nobody else wanted. One of the places I always try to hit in a new city is their thrift stores.”

Megan Moroney tells People magazine that she loves rewatching TV shows that she’s already seen several times before. “I am the kind of person who will rewatch the same comfort shows over and over because I like knowing exactly what’s going to happen.”

Carrie Underwood tells The News International that she doesn’t lie to the American Idol contestants because she is a terrible liar. “I can’t lie, I’m a terrible liar. As a fan of the show, if there was ever somebody that kind of had an off night and everybody’s like, ‘Oh my God that’s so great.’ I’m sitting at home being like, ‘What? Liars!’ You want them to pay attention to those things going forward. They’re obviously talented or they wouldn’t be here right now.”

Somebody noticed a fun goof in the new trailer for “The Devil Wears Prada 2”.

Vincent Mason tells CMT that he has one go-to comfort meal. “If I can find a good burger and fries, I’m happy. It’s not fancy, but it reminds me of being with my friends growing up and not worrying about anything.” Fortune Magazine says this year’s Masters winner will earn $113 times more than the first Champion did in 1934.

Former “Who’s the Boss” child star Danny Pintauro posted a picture of himself delivering packages to make ends meet.

Ty Myers tells Whiskey Riff that he’s written 90% of his music in his childhood bedroom.  “It’s crazy. I’ve probably written 90% of every song I’ve ever written in the room I grew up in. Obviously, more recently, I’ve been out places. Last time I went to Paris, I just went on a writing (spree) because you just go to places like that and it just gets your creativity going. It’s like the excitement of being in this place you’ve dreamed of being just brings out this artistic side.
