• Did you know Willie Nelson is a 5th-degree black belt in a Korean martial art called GongKwon Yusul? He is also a 2nd-degree black belt in Taekwondo. Luke Combs has a hilarious story about how he found that out a few years ago. – HERE HE IS
• Kevin Hart is teaming up with Netflix for a new competition series to find the next big stand-up comedian. He'll be joined by a group of comics, who will be announced at a later date.

• Kevin Cronin Makes 'Heartbreaking' Decision on Touring Future
• Former REO Speedwagon vocalist Kevin Cronin has decided that his solo band will no longer tour after their scheduled 2025 dates.
• Cronin decided to tour as The Kevin Cronin Band after falling out with REO bassist Bruce Hall, a decision that seems to have hurt him business-wise.
• Cronin explained, "This [current] tour has been a delight, but not without its challenges. It's not easy going out as the Kevin Cronin Band, I will tell you. You can't overestimate the power of the name REO Speedwagon and that ubiquitous, winged logo. They mean a lot to people. I can sit here and say that the Kevin Cronin band is doing the same thing until I'm blue in the face, but when people see the Kevin Cronin Band, there's a question -- 'I wonder what this is gonna be?' -- whereas if you see REO Speedwagon and the winged logo on the bill, it's 'I know what that is.'"
• Even though he's called his decision to no longer tour "heartbreaking", Cronin will appear at select shows, like the Rock Legends Cruise in 2026.
•  If you were rich and famous, what would you collect? Maybe you'd track down a series of dream cars, maybe you'd go for unique artwork, or maybe you'd just totally pimp out your existing keychain collection. Here's a list of celebrities with strange, wildly expensive collections:
