Put September 6th of 2024 on your calendar for the release of the new Beetlejuice movie!! If you’re skeptical about the sequel, Michael Keaton has provided an update that might get you on board. He says he and Tim Burton are determined to make it, as close to the way they made it the first time. That includes improvising and riffing, but literally handmade stuff like people creating things with their hands and building something. Beetlejuice 2 is in theaters September 6th of next year.

Tanya Tucker is the FIRST…to ride a horse onto the stage of at the Grand Ole Opry on Friday. Historians say that in 97 years, no one had ever done that.

Her new album “Sweet Western Sound” came out on Friday, and there’s a horse on the cover. So that’s why she did it. It’s the 26th studio album of her career.

William Shatner is officially going metal…because apparently retirement is for people without a spaceship. The 94 year old icon is releasing a heavy metal album featuring covers of Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, and Judas Priest, plus original songs with 35 metal legends. He says metal is where imagination gets loud, which explains a lot about Captain Kirk. There’s nothing more metal than a man eligible for social security since Nixon.

Jelly Roll is officially becoming a member of the Grand Ole Opry on March 10th, and Lainey Wilson will be there to welcome him in. He first found out back in December when Craig Morgan surprised him with the invitation, and now Craig will perform at the induction too. It’s one of country music’s highest honors, and proof that redemption stories hit harder than any guitar solo.

Kane Brown is the latest country star to plant his flag on Broadway in Nashville with his own entertainment venue. Kane Brown’s on Broadway will feature a full restaurant, bar, and live music, which basically guarantees fans will spend money while singing his songs badly. Every country star gets a bar eventually, it’s practically a rite of passage. At this point, Nashville Broadway is less a street and more a country music theme park.
