Eagle-eyed fans were right: That was Riley Green in the trailer for the new Yellowstone spinoff Marshals.
When the trailer for the new Taylor Sheridan series dropped, fans thought that the mustachioed guy wearing a ball cap sitting next to a campfire looked an awful lot like the “Worst Way” singer. Now ABC Audio has confirmed that Riley will appear in the show, which debuts March 1 on Paramount+.
Riley will play a former Navy SEAL named Garrett who shows up at the ranch to get help from his friends Kayce Dutton, played by Luke Grimes, and Pete Calvin, played by Logan Marshall-Green.
The news was first reported by Variety, who quotes Riley as saying, “I’m so excited to be joining the cast of Marshals. Being on set with my buddy Luke Grimes made the experience even more memorable. This is my first go around in the acting space and I couldn’t have asked for a better introduction to this world.”
Marshals follows Kayce Dutton as he joins an elite U.S. Marshals unit and is tapped to help restore justice to Montana.
Of course, Riley isn’t the first country star to appear in the Yellowstone universe: Lainey Wilson played Abby in season 5 of that series.

(WASHINGTON) — The Commission of Fine Arts voted on Thursday to approve the design plan for President Donald Trump’s White House ballroom.
The panel, made up entirely of new members appointed by Trump, did so near unanimously without further review over the “vast, vast majority” of public comments opposing the project.
Chairman Rodney Mims Cook Jr. moved to approve the plans as “final” after first voting to back the “concept” of the construction project.
One commissioner did not vote: James McCrery, the president’s White House architect who was sidelined on the ballroom project. McCrery recused himself and said it would be “inappropriate” for him to comment or vote on the plans.
The votes took place after Shalom Baranes, Trump’s new ballroom architect, presented updated design plans, with the most notable public change being the removal of a pediment on the proposed structure’s south side at the commission’s recommendation.
The commission fast-tracked the final vote, which was not set to happen on Thursday. The commission was set to review the project’s final design before taking their final vote, which would have been — at the earliest — during their next meeting scheduled for March 19.
Cook said the Pentagon “made some demands on the president” for greater security and that those secret design plans were integrated into the design.
More renderings of the proposed 90,000-square-foot addition in the location of the demolished East Wing were made available in a 31-page report submitted to commission last week, including a view of the building from Pennsylvania Avenue.
The votes to approve the proposal also came after Thomas Luebke, the panel’s secretary, presented the group with the public’s objection to the East Wing’s destruction last fall and the ballroom’s construction.
“Mind you, in more than two decades of case work here, for me, I’ve never seen as much public engagement on this,” Luebke said. “We literally have gotten, just in the past week or so, more than 2,000 various messages — way too much to go through individually.”
Luebke later added the messages were “overwhelmingly in opposition, over 99%, to this project.”
Luebke read excerpts from two public comments, one in favor and one against. The supporter of the ballroom argued that the addition was necessary to host formal events and “to have America be competitive in the eyes of world leaders.” The opposing commentator argued that the addition “represents an affront to our heritage, a circumvention of democratic processes and a misallocation of resources that could better serve the republic.”
Luebke said groups have also voiced opposition, including the National Mall Coalition, which said to the commission: “Please do not set a precedent that will be difficult, if not impossible, to overturn. We ask you to await the decision of the courts and not support further breach of public trust.”
The National Trust for Historic Preservation has sued to stop the project. The judge in the case has expressed skepticism of the government’s arguments that the president has the power to build a ballroom with private donations and without express authorization from Congress, and said he hoped to issue a decision this month.
The ballroom is a longtime goal for Trump, who said in a social media post that it will be “one of the greatest and most beautiful Ballrooms anywhere in the world.” Trump said the project will cost $400 million and be paid for by private donors.
He applauded the commission’s approval in a social media post Thursday afternoon, saying “Great accolades were paid to the building’s beauty and scale. Thank you to the members of the Commission!”
The National Capital Planning Commission — led by Will Scharf, Trump’s White House staff secretary — will also consider the ballroom project during its March meeting.
Founding Vampire Weekend member Rostam Batmanglij aka Rostam has released the original version of the song “Campus,” a track off the band’s 2008 self-titled debut album.
“I was interested in creating a piece of music that was built around a cello, a kick drum, and a vocal that told a story,” Rostam says in a statement. “Robyn’s ‘Be Mine’ was an inspiration. From the first time we tried playing it as a band with rock instruments, it happened to work. That was a happy accident, but I always intended for this original version to see the light of day someday.”
He adds, “There are some small differences in lyrics between this version and our Vampire Weekend version and I’m sure some people will notice them. I’m happy that version exists and I’m also happy this one is out in the world now too.”
Along with Vampire Weekend’s debut, Rostam played on the band’s next two records, 2010’s Contra and 2013’s Modern Vampires of the City, before leaving the group in 2016. He’s since launched a solo career, and has produced albums for artists including HAIM and Clairo.
Noah Kahan’s The Great Divide tour is sold out, and he couldn’t be more grateful.
The “Stick Season” singer has moved more than 1 million tickets for the stadium trek, which will include four performances at Boston’s Fenway Park. The Vermont native will now be the first artist ever to play and sell out four nights at that iconic venue. The tour starts June 11 in Orlando, Florida, and will wrap Aug. 31 in Seattle, with Gigi Perez opening all dates.
Noah responded to the news on Instagram by writing, “I will never find the words. These last few years have challenged me creatively and mentally in so many ways and to see this amount of love and support for so many years is such a guiding light for me. I will never stop making music as long as you’ll listen. I do it all for you.”
And his reaction to the four-night sellout at Fenway? “I guess it’s the first time anyone has done that, holy s*** by the way.”
Noah concluded, “I promise to honor this moment and the time and money you have spent to come see this show. The band and I will leave it all out there, and just know that you’ll be watching us live out an impossible dream. Love you all so much.”
Noah’s new album, The Great Divide, is out April 24.

While Nicki Minaj attended the World Liberty Forum in Florida Wednesday, President Donald Trump was singing her praises. He shared a few words about the rapper during the Black History Month event at the White House.
“How about Nicki Minaj? Do we love Nicki Minaj? I love Nicki Minaj. She was here a couple weeks ago. She’s so beautiful,” Trump said in a video posted by The Associated Press. “I said, ‘Nicki, you’re so beautiful.’ … But she was so beautiful and so great and she gets it, more importantly.”
Nicki has been vocal about her support of Trump on various platforms, including Turning Point USA’s AmericaFest and the Trump Accounts Summit in Washington, D.C., where she met him for the first time.
Her keynote appearance at the Trump-backed World Liberty Forum saw her discussing her tight relationship with her fans, among other things.

You don’t have to go to infinity and beyond for the Toy Story 5official trailer.
Disney and Pixar have released a 2 1/2-minute look at the upcoming animated sequel film. Everyone’s favorite toys — including Woody (Tom Hanks), Buzz Lightyear (Tim Allen), Jessie (Joan Cusack) and Forky (Tony Hale) — are back in this new look that shows how the toys react to new technology.
The new trailer also shows off how Woody — who decided to leave his caretaker, Bonnie (Scarlett Spears), at the end of Toy Story 4 and live off the grid with Bo Peep (Annie Potts) — reunites with his original toy family.
Set to the classic Randy Newman song “You’ve Got a Friend in Me,” the trailer finds the gang of toys up against the new antagonist Lilypad. Voiced by Greta Lee, Lilypad is a high-tech, frog-shaped smart tablet that makes the toys’ jobs more difficult as they compete with this new threat to playtime.
“What are you, some sort of old man toy?” Lilypad asks Woody, who incredulously asks, “What?” in response.
“She thinks you’re old because you’re bald, Woody,” Forky says.
Newly announced voice cast members for the film include Craig Robinson as Atlas, a cheerful talking GPS hippo toy; Shelby Rabara as the excitable camera toy Snappy; Mykal-Michelle Harris as Blaze, an independent 8-year-old girl who loves animals; and Matty Matheson as the tech-fearing toy Dr. Nutcase.
Also announced to return to the franchise are John Ratzenberger as Hamm, Wallace Shawn as Rex, Blake Clark as Slinky Dog, Jeff Bergman as Mr. Potato Head, Anna Vocino as Mrs. Potato Head, Bonnie Hunt as Dolly, Melissa Villaseñor as Karen Beverly, John Hopkins as Mr. Pricklepants, Kristen Schaal as Trixie, Ernie Hudson as Combat Carl and Keanu Reeves as Duke Caboom.
Toy Story 5 is directed by WALL-E and Finding Nemo helmer Andrew Stanton and co-directed by Kenna Harris. Newman returns to score his fifth Toy Story film. The movie rides like the wind into theaters on June 19.

(WASHINGTON) — The National Park Service (NPS) on Thursday began restoring the panels that were removed from the slavery exhibit at the President’s House in Philadelphia.
The restoration comes after U.S. District Judge Cynthia Rufe ordered the Trump administration to do so by 5 p.m. on Friday. The outdoor exhibit is a memorial to the nine enslaved Africans who were held at the site by President George Washington.
NPS workers began restoring the panels ahead of the deadline, according to ABC station in Philadelphia, WPVI.
The deadline was set in an order filed on Wednesday by Rufe, who is overseeing Philadelphia’s federal lawsuit against the Trump administration over the removal of the slavery exhibit. The exhibit was taken down by the NPS on Jan. 23.
Rufe granted a preliminary injunction requested by the city of Philadelphia in a Monday ruling, ordering the Department of Interior, which oversees NPS, to restore the exhibit as the lawsuit moves forward.
In setting the deadline, Rufe cited the federal government’s “failure to comply” with her order to restore the exhibit.
The Interior Department appealed Rufe’s ruling to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit on Wednesday.
On Wednesday evening, the department also filed an emergency motion for an immediate stay that would block the preliminary injunction granted to Philadelphia pending the federal government’s appeal.
“The Court should stay its preliminary injunction pending appeal because the Government is likely to prevail on the merits, will face irreparable injury absent a stay, and the remaining factors also support a stay,” the motion states.
Rufe ordered the city of Philadelphia to respond to the Trump administration’s motion for an emergency stay by 4 p.m. local time on Thursday.
ABC News reached out to representatives of the city of Philadelphia, NPS and to the U.S. Interior Dept. for further comment.
In granting the preliminary injunction and ordering the government to restore the exhibit, Rufe cited George Orwell’s dystopian novel “1984, comparing their actions to those of Big Brother in the book.
“As if the Ministry of Truth in George Orwell’s 1984 now existed, with its motto ‘Ignorance is Strength,’ this Court is now asked to determine whether the federal government has the power it claims — to dissemble and disassemble historical truths when it has some domain over historical facts. It does not,” she wrote.
“An agency, whether the Department of the Interior, NPS, or any other agency, cannot arbitrarily decide what is true, based on its own whims or the whims of the new leadership, regardless of the evidence before it,” she added in the ruling.
She also concluded that NPS should have consulted with the city before amending the exhibit.
Philadelphia Mayor Cherelle Parker called the judge’s decision a “huge win for the people of this city and our country.”
“We will not allow anyone to erase our history today,” Parker said on Tuesday.
The boards and panels that were removed told the stories of Austin, Christopher Sheels, Giles, Hercules, Joe Richardson, Moll, Oney Judge, Paris and Richmond — the nine enslaved Africans held by Washington as his home in Philadelphia.
They were removed to comply with President Donald Trump’s March 27, 2025, executive order, “Restoring Truth and Sanity to American History,” which directed the Interior Department to remove what they called “divisive, race-centered ideology” and narratives from federal cultural institutions, a department spokesperson told ABC News in a statement last month.
ABC News’ Peter Charalambous and Sabina Ghebremedhin contributed to this report.
Will it be “Heaven” for his fans? Kane Brown is the latest country star to get his own eating and drinking establishment on Nashville’s Lower Broadway.
The new multistory bar, restaurant and live music venue, called Kane Brown’s On Broadway, will open this summer in a historic building that used to be home to a similar establishment called The Valentine. Early in his career, Kane spent a lot of time at The Valentine watching Bulldogs games.
Kane says in a statement that he and his partners, Elia Group, have “really taken our time developing the bar,” adding, “I wanted to build a place that I want to hang out at, my friends want to hang out at and will be an unforgettable experience for anyone who visits. Nights in Nashville are about to hit a little bit different.”
The venue, which spans 11,400 square feet, includes a live music stage on the main floor, a mezzanine with bar service, an intimate third-flour lounge and a rooftop that will be used for everything from brunch to DJ sets.
Zaid Elia, founder of Elia Group, says in a statement that Kane is a “visionary artist who has continually redefined boundaries while remaining deeply rooted in authenticity.”
On the music side of things, Kane will drop a new song called “Woman” on March 13.
