I didn’t know what I was going to do I was swimming around to an island I thought I was maybe have to make a fort out or something like that. And then the boat came all the way around in a giant circle and somehow I grabbed on to it pull myself back up and… and now I’m here to tell a joke.” Old Dominion’s ” I Was On A Boat That Day” has risen to #9 on the charts, by the way he named his boat ‘Boomerang’

Tom Cruise is allegedly on a long, carefully planned mission to become Sir Tom Cruise. A source says this has been years in the making hosting events, shaking hands, embedding himself deep in the British film world. Apparently he knows exactly how the system works and he’s been playing the long game.

Miranda Lambert is developing a new TV series for Hulu inspired by her music and real-life friendships.
