Global country superstar Kane Brown has launched his acting debut on CBS’ Fire Country, and E! News is sharing an exclusive preview of it.
For his role, Kane plays a character named Robin, who is described by CBS as “an enigmatic modern-day train hopper who helps injured patients.”

Brian May is lending his name to two brand new amps from Vox: the limited edition Brian May MV50 and Brian May AmPlug.
“I want people to be able to get the sounds you make in a stadium show into your living room, and this achieves that,” May says. “I hope that people find them inspiring.”
Both options come in red and offer what is described as “authentic Queen tone,” with the MV50 featuring Vox’s Nutube technology. The AmPlug is modeled on the classic Brian May Vox AC30 sound, and features a treble booster setting for rockers to get that “instant Brian May tone” plugged directly into their guitar’s output jack.
(NOTE LANGUAGE)Jeremy Renner is refusing to be “haunted” by the memory of his life-threatening snowplow accident.
In his first interview since the accident, Jeremy Renner: The Diane Sawyer Interview — A Story of Terror, Survival and Triumph, airing Thursday, April 6, at 10 p.m. ET on ABC, the Avengers star reflects on the accident and shares how he wants to move forward.
“I shifted the narrative of it being victimized or making a mistake or anything else,” he said. “I refuse to be f****** haunted by that memory that way.”
On New Year’s Day of 2023, firefighters and paramedics responded to a 911 call regarding Renner. The caller, Renner’s neighbor, Rich Kovach, told the 911 dispatcher on the phone that Renner had been “run over by a snowcat” and asked them to send help.
“It was blood, the amount of blood, and then he was — he was just in such pain,” Kovach told Sawyer. “And the sounds that were coming out of him — and there was so much blood in the snow. And then when I looked at his head it appeared to me to be cracked wide open. And I could see white, I don’t know if that was his skull, if it — maybe it was just my imagination but that’s what I thought I saw.”
Also on the scene with Renner was his nephew Alex Fries, 27, who said he was holding onto Renner’s arm in an attempt to help him breathe.
Renner said that he “was awake through every moment.”
“I started moving my legs,” he said. “I said, ‘Oh, that one — that one’s really messed up. Oh yeah…that’s gonna be a problem.'”
“And I’m thinkin’ like, ‘What’s my body look like? Am I just gonna be like a spine in a brain like a science experiment?'” Renner recalled.
In docs seen by ABC Audio, Mars alleges that his share of the Crüe’s profits were decreased following his retirement from touring last October, and that the other band members — Nikki Sixx, Tommy Lee and Vince Neil — played to pre-recorded tapes during last summer’s Stadium Tour.
As previously reported, the “Kickstart My Heart” outfit announced that Mars, 71, was getting off the road due to his ongoing battle his ongoing battle with the inflammatory disease ankylosing spondylitis, or AS. Rob Zombie guitarist John 5 was named Mars’ replacement. A rep for Mars told Variety a day before the announcement that the guitarist “will continue as a member of the band, but can no longer handle the rigors of the road.”
In his suit, however, Mars alleges that, following the retirement announcement, Mötley reduced his share of the profits from 25% to 5%.
The suit also states that bassist Sixx “gaslighted” Mars by telling him his “guitar playing was sub par,” while Sixx himself “did not play a single note on bass” live.
“A significant portion of Neil’s vocals were also pre-recorded,” the suit reads. “Even some of Lee’s drum parts were recordings.”
Mötley Crüe reunited in 2019 with original members Mars, Sixx, Lee and Neil, after playing what was advertised as their “final” show on New Year’s Eve 2015. They announced the Stadium Tour with Def Leppard for 2020, which was delayed to 2022 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
News of the lawsuit follows a recent interview Vanilla Fudge drummer Carmine Appice gave to Ultimate Guitar, in which he claimed that Mars was “not happy” on the Stadium Tour because “everything was on tape.” Sixx responded to Appice by calling him a “washed up drummer.”

Former Sex Pistols frontman John Lydon is mourning the loss of his wife Nora Forster, who passed away at age 80, after suffering from Alzheimer’s Disease. The news was revealed on the Twitter account of Lydon’s band Public Image Ltd.
“It is with a heavy heart that we share the sad news that Nora Forster – John Lydon’s wife of nearly 5 decades – has passed away,” read the post. “Nora had been living with Alzheimer’s for several years. In which time John had become her full time carer.” The statement continued, “Please respect John’s grief and allow him space. Rest in Peace Nora.”
Lydon and Forster married in 1979. In 2018, Lydon revealed his wife’s Alzheimer’s diagnosis and in 2020 shared that he had become her full-time caregiver.
In February, Lydon and PiL competed to represent Ireland in the 2023 Eurovision Song Contest, performing the tune “Hawaii,” which Lydon wrote about Nora’s battle with the disease. At the time he noted the song was “dedicated to everyone going through tough times on the journey of life, with the person they care for the most.”
A Taylor Swift fan and mom has gone viral after sharing a letter she wrote to her daughter’s teacher, asking that her daughter be excused from class so she can attend Taylor’s Eras Tour.
Karen Vladek, a lawyer and legal recruiter, shared the note she wrote to her daughter Maddie‘s teacher on Twitter with the caption, “Here’s hoping my daughter’s 1st grade teacher is a Swiftie.” The note incorporated as many references to Taylor’s songs as possible, with such lines as, “I hope missing school doesn’t ruin her otherwise stellar Reputation but she begged me to go and maybe I Should Have Said No but I didn’t want to be Mean. So It Goes.”
She also wrote, “I know I did Something Bad and I promise this will be The Last Time she has an unexcused absence before the Cruel Summer starts.” She signed it “Forever and Always” and the subject line was, “It’s Me, Hi, I’m the Problem It’s Me.”
Vladek’s plan worked: She posted a follow-up captioned, “MS PARKS” — the teacher — “GETS IT.” It was a screenshot of the teacher’s reaction: “THIS MADE MY ENTIRE DAY.”
Vladek and Maddie are going to see the Eras tour on April 24 in Houston.
DJ Khaled‘s hard work on the golf course has earned a special gift from his friend Diddy. Taking to the Instagram Wednesday, the Bad Boy CEO revealed he purchased a golf cart that would help Khaled achieve his golf goals.
“I’m so proud of my brother @DJKhaled for all the work he’s putting in on the golf course,” he writes. “Enjoy my gift to you! I had to find the flyest of the fly for my brother!
