Morgan Wallen was one of the biggest music stars in the United States about two weeks ago, and definitely the biggest name in country music, on top of the charts for weeks.  That all came crashing down last week when a video leaked showing an intoxicated Wallen using the racial slur the n-word.   Since then, hundreds of radio stations in the US have stopped playing his music and he’s been silent - until now.  This morning Morgan posted a nearly 5 minute video, apologizing, taking responsibility, and promising to go off the grid a while to learn and get sober.  Morgan blamed what was in the video on drinking, that he was “on hour 72 of a 72 hour bender,” and says he’s now 9 days sober. He said he’s met with black leaders and organizations who’ve helped him learn and grow.  Morgan promises to be a better person moving forward. 
 
 
 
 
Kevin Hart has been using a personal shopper for the past couple of years, which I guess is a person who buys things for you. You know you’re rich when you need to hire someone to spend your money for you. Anyway, the guy Kevin hired to do his personal shopping has been stealing his money as well. A lot of money.  The guy was busted after using Kevin’s credit cards to buy $1.2 million in goods over the course of two years.  Some of those items include five Patek Philippe watches worth around $400K, art, jewelry, LV bags, and collectibles.   Police have arrested the guy, and seized the stuff to try to get some of Kevin’s money back.
 
 
 
“The Mandalorian” star Gina Carano has been fired from the show.  Gina has been a vocal controversial voice on Twitter often mocking mask wearing, spreading conspiracies, and criticizing the Black Lives Matter movement.  He views had gone without any repercussions, but yesterday she posted something which...I won’t get into, but it upset a lot of people, including her bosses at LucasFilm.  In a statement the company said, “Gina Carano is not currently employed by Lucasfilm and there are no plans for her to be in the future. Nevertheless, her social media posts denigrating people based on their cultural and religious identities are abhorrent and unacceptable.”  Gina had played the Cara Dune, one of the main characters in “The Mandalorian.”  and word yet on if they will recast or write the character out.
