Carl the Cowboy Corgi is overshadowing Riley Green, but he’s fine with that

February 24, 2026 by WDNY Radio

Among Riley Green devotees, one of the only things that rivals seeing him shirtless is an appearance by his dog, Carl the Cowboy Corgi.

Recently, Riley revealed that Carl has become a daddy.

“Carl and Carol Ann, that’s his little girlfriend, they had corgi blue heeler puppies, and it’s all that’s going on at the farm in Alabama right now.”

“It’s kinda nice,” Riley continues. “Nobody talks to me, they just go right into the puppy room, you know? He just had two [puppies], so I’m in this weird spot of if she’d had a [large] litter, I probably would have had to get rid of some. But just two, I’m like, ‘We might have to keep ‘em.'”

For more of Carl, you can check out his Instagram.

For more of Riley, you’ll want to be sure to check out the new Taylor Sheridan series Marshals, where the country star is set to make his acting debut. It premieres March 1 on CBS and Paramount+.

Rush talks ‘fun’ experience working with new drummer Anika Nilles

February 24, 2026 by WDNY Radio

The members of Rush are giving fans an update on how things are going with new drummer Anika Nilles as they get ready to launch their Fifty Something tour. It will be their first tour since the 2020 death of drummer Neil Peart.

Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson talked to the U.K.’s Planet Rock about the tour, revealing that Nilles already knows about 25 Rush songs. Lee noted it’s been “really fun to watch” her get to know the material.

“It’s one thing to play it for the first time and to work out what are the parts that have to be essentially Neil Peart’s parts and what parts she can make her own,” Lee said. “And that has been wonderful to watch and really exciting for Al and I because now she doesn’t have to think about it.”

Lee explained that Nilles didn’t know much of their music coming into the gig.

“She knew, of course, a couple of the big songs, and of course every drummer on earth knew Neil and his reputation, he was very respected,” Lee said. He noted that Nilles did know their hit “Tom Sawyer,” but she “was kind of nervous” to play it because it’s such an important song.

Lee and Lifeson also discussed their plans to pay tribute to Peart during the show.

“We’re gonna do two sets,” said Lee. “In each of those sets, we’ll take a song and, you know, do a bit of our own way of tributing to Neil, and of course, his presence will be throughout the evening.”

The North American leg of the tour kicks off on June 7 in Los Angeles. The tour will also hit South America, Europe and the U.K. Tour dates can be found at Rush.com.

Proximity Media’s Simone Harris will act as co-executive producer. Francine Maisler, who previously cast Sinners, will handle casting for The X-Files reboot.

The reboot marks the latest project under Coogler’s five-year exclusive television deal with Disney.

Coogler won best original screenplay for Sinners at the BAFTA Awards, making him the first Black person to win the award.

Linda Perry releases video for her version of ‘Beautiful,’ the hit she wrote for Christina Aguilera

February 23, 2026 by WDNY Radio

4 Non Blondes frontwoman Linda Perry has released her version of “Beautiful,” the song she wrote that became one of Christina Aguilera’s signature hits.

It’s accompanied by a video directed by Linda’s ex-wife, Sara Gilbert, and starring their child, Rhodes Perry. Linda also appears in the clip, which is set during a talent show in the 1940s, and also features actors Lukas Haas and Shane Powers.

“Beautiful” appears on Linda’s new solo album, Let It Die Here, due out May 8. “When I wrote ‘Beautiful,’ I had no idea I was struggling inside,” she says in a statement.

Of the song’s lyric “I am beautiful no matter what they say,” Linda says, “‘They’ represents the insecurities we all face, the fear that makes people unkind simply because someone or something is different. ‘Beautiful’ is about self-expression, being free to be whoever you want to be.”

Quoting the lyric “Don’t you bring me down today,” she says, “Don’t you dare try to make me feel less than, not good enough, or ugly because I don’t look like you. Don’t treat me like I don’t matter just because I do not speak or think like you. I will shine in every single way, and no one can take that from me, you, or anyone.”

Linda will be performing the song on Tuesday’s episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live! on ABC.

Baby Keem releases ‘Birds & the Bees’ music video

February 23, 2026 by WDNY Radio

Baby Keem has released the music video for his song “Birds & the Bees.”

Directed by Jack Begert, the video shows Keem growing frustrated with his partner, Anna, for purposely taking a long time to get ready for an event. She fires back, complaining about how many times she’s gone out with him that week, prompting him to mumble, “I should have brought Jade.” The remark backfires, and Anna punches him, leaving him with a bloody nose before storming out.

Keem later sits with friends and learns that Anna is rumored to have “two kings.” He checks his phone and bank account, only to discover she has drained his funds. He jumps into a car and races after Anna, catching sight of her as she boards a private jet. However, he arrives at the runway too late, as the jet has already taken off.

The music video is now available on YouTube.

“Birds & the Bees” appears on Keem’s newly released album, Ca$ino. He’s set to support the project with a tour that kicks off April 11.
