Hudson Westbrook raised some money for a cause that’s close to his heart.
The singer performed a benefit concert in his hometown of Stephenvile, Texas, on Saturday to give back to the Erath Country Junior Livestock Association. The show ended up raising $100,000, which will go toward rebuilding livestock facilities in the community.
“These funds are going to rebuild the same livestock barn I grew up showing my pigs in,” Hudson said in a statement. “To be able to give back to the community in this way and to have so many people I’ve known all my life show up means everything to me and my crew.”
Ahead of the event, Hudson received two plaques from his record label — one for the RIAA Gold-certified song “5 to 9” and the other for the RIAA Platinum-certified single “House Again.”
Hudson is currently on the road headlining his Texas Forever fall tour. Next year he’ll join Morgan Wallen’s Still the Problem tour as an opener.

Cardi B kept good on her promise that she’d be attending boyfriend Stefon Diggs‘ football games. She cheered on his New England Patriots Sunday as they won against the Atlanta Falcons, marking her debut appearance at one of his games.
After the win, she was spotted on the field with Diggs, who was seen with his arm around her shoulder as he rubbed her pregnant belly. He also did an outfit check with The People Gallery and poked some fun at Cardi’s potential tardiness while answering some questions in the locker room.
“Any special guests in attendance today?” a reporter asked, to which Diggs responded, “I think she was a little late, so I don’t know yet. I gotta do my homework. I gotta watch the tape on that one, so we’ll see.”
When asked if he gave Cardi lessons on how to do his touchdown dance, he replied, “Nah, she picked it up on her own, dance moves a little shaky, though.”
Cardi has been linked to Stefon since late 2024; she confirmed they’re expecting their first child together in September. In an interview on Today with Jenna & Friends, she shared that she was actively cheering for her beau and had plans to attend his games after the promo run for her album Am I the Drama?
“I be at the screen every Sunday, every day, cursing people out. Pass the ball!” she said at the time. “But after this whole album thing, I’m going to every single game. Every single one of them.”
Cardi shares three children with ex Offset; Diggs has a daughter named Nova. There are also unsubstantiated rumors that Diggs has or is expecting more children.

Lainey Wilson brought a little toilet humor to her rescheduled show in Houston, Texas, over the weekend.
The singer pranked her opening act, Muscadine Bloodline, by bringing them onstage and making them perform while sitting on toilets.
“They say everything is bigger in Texas and I tell ya what Houston…. We had a big ole time last night,” she wrote on Instagram Sunday. “It has been a dream of mine to prank someone on stage by asking them to sit on toilets to sing and my dreams came true last night with @muscadinebline. Thank you boys for being good sports.”
Lainey’s Houston show was supposed to take place in September, but Lainey was sick and had to cancel.
Her Whirlwind world tour has two dates left: Tampa, Florida, on Friday and Orlando, Florida, on Saturday.

In the book, Obama explains for the first time the level of intention she placed on her fashion choices as first lady and the messages she wanted to send.
“I really thought about what I wanted to say with my fashion. I wanted to talk about inclusion, diversity, opening up opportunities, and fashion was one of those tools that allowed me to do that,” she said. “The designers that I chose — there were young designers; there were women designers; there were also immigrant American designers.”
Obama said that when she chose the styles she wore, she wanted to showcase the best designers and the diversity that “makes America great.”
“I was able to show the world the outstanding qualities of people who come from different places, with different backgrounds, with different skin colors, from different genders and sexual orientations,” Obama said. “Excellence is not measured that way, and it is true in fashion and in law and in journalism and in research. Let us not forget that. And that was the point — to find the best designers, to give them a stage to show the world how great they were. That’s what makes America great.”
While she used fashion to send a message in the White House, Obama said she hesitated to talk about it for fear her choices would “become a distraction.”
With each fashion choice she made, she said she thought of the people she wanted to “make proud.”
The Look, a collaboration with her stylist, Meredith Koop, is available on Tuesday.
Michelle Obama: The Style, The Power, The Look: A Conversation With Robin Roberts is now streaming on Disney+ and Hulu.
