Dustin Lynch and Jelly Roll reach No. 1 on Country Airplay with ‘Chevrolet’

Dustin Lynch has hit a career milestone with his tenth No. 1 on Billboard’s Country Airplay chart (dated Sept. 21) with the track “Chevrolet” featuring Jelly Roll.

“Chevrolet” is written by Chase McGill, Jessi Alexander, Hunter Phelps, and Mentor Williams, and features the throwback melody of the 1973 Dobie Gray hit “Drift Away.”  The original hit No. 5 on the Billboard Hot 100 hit in 1973.

Lynch shares of the track: “Reaching my tenth No. 1 is a milestone we are so proud of and grateful for. I feel extra blessed to be able to share this one with my buddy Jelly. This is a true testament to the overwhelming support from my fans who have become family over the past 12 years. Also, to my Broken Bow Records fam and Country radio friends, alongside my team, band, crew, and collaborators – I couldn’t have done any of this without y’all. You are the best of the best. Here’s to the next ten!”

Lynch also tells Billboard: “The response to this song has been absolutely wild to see in our live shows from way early on. This iconic melody from ‘Drift Away’ is deep within all of us, and connects us instantly for such an epic sing-along. There’s a nostalgia to it that just feels good, and it becoming my ninth No. 1 on Billboard’s Country Airplay chart means so much, especially since I get to celebrate this with my buddy Jelly. To the fans that have been on this crazy journey with me, this one is for you! Let’s keep riding y’all – I’m just getting started!”

Clinton Kelly and Stacy London, the hosts of the long-running TLC fashion series What Not To Wear, are teaming up for a new reality show at Amazon Prime Video titled ‘Wear Whatever The F You Want.’ The eight-part series will mark the first time London and Kelly have hosted a show together in over a decade. Clinton and Kelly will both serve as executive producers on the series, along with Sandy Varo Jarrell, Suzanne Rauscher, Justin Rae Barnes, and Janelle Couture.

Lauren Anderson, head of Brand and Content Innovation, Amazon MGM Studios, said in a statement: “Since Clinton and Stacy first appeared on television, they have remained at the forefront of showing us how to use fashion as a means of self-empowerment. Their playful banter and distinct approach have helped instill confidence in viewers for almost two decade.

Kelly and London added: “The world has changed a lot since the run of What Not to Wear, and, thankfully, so have we. These days, we have zero interest in telling people what to do, based on society’s norms—because there are no more norms. However, style is still an important form of communication, and we’re excited to show new clients how to align their personal messaging with their life goals. It’s time to celebrate individual style, not prescribe it.”

Described as a ‘style transformation’ shown the official description for “Wear Whatever the F You Want” reads: “Over the course of a couple of days, Clinton and Kelly will empower each client to live out their fashion fantasy and find their style truth in the journey of a lifetime.”

“What Not to Wear” originally aired for 10 seasons on TLC before ending its run in 2013.

Man charged in apparent Trump shooting claimed ‘this was an assassination attempt’

The FBI revealed Monday that the man arrested in connection with the apparent assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump in Florida earlier this month had a list of dates and venues found in his vehicle where the former president had appeared or was expected to appear, as well as a cellphone showing searches of how to get from West Palm Beach to Mexico.

Court documents also revealed that Routh dropped off a box at a person’s home that included a letter that declared, “This was an assassination attempt.” Law enforcement was contacted by a civilian on Sept. 18 who said that Routh had dropped off the box at his residence several months earlier, and that the witness who opened the box after learning of the Sept. 15 incident at Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach, Florida discovered ammunition, four phones and various letters. (per CBS News).  Routh also left a handwritten letter with a man months before the attempted assassination, addressed “Dear World” which read: “This was an assassination attempt on Donald Trump but I failed you. I tried my best and gave it all the gumption I could muster.”

A U.S. District Court filing asked that Routh be held in pre-trial detention, with a judge later ordering on Monday that he be held in jail pending trial. Routh has been in custody since he was arrested just over a week ago, and is charged with two federal firearms offenses after the apparent assassination attempt on Trump.

Trump was not harmed after an agent spotted a man’s face in the brush, later identified as Routh, and a rifle along the fence line outside of Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach on Sept. 15. Prosecutors said in their latest filing that the suspect was in line with the 6th-hole green, and Trump was playing the 5th hole when the Secret Service agent opened fire and Trump was swiftly removed from the area. The FBI found in the fence line an AK-47 style rifle with a scope attached and extended magazine. The gun was loaded with 11 rounds, with the serial number on the rifle obliterated and unreadable. Secret Service agents also found a digital camera, backpack and reusable shopping bag hanging from the fence, which contained plates that “were capable of stopping small arms fire,” according to court documents.

White House proposes ban on vehicle software from China and Russia

The U.S. Commerce Department on Monday is proposing a ban on key Chinese and Russian-made hardware and software in internet-connected vehicles in the United States, national security concerns. President Biden signed an executive order in February intended to strengthen the country’s ability to respond to maritime cybersecurity threats amid worries that China might attempt to cripple crucial infrastructure systems in the U.S.

The Commerce Department launched a probe into the possible risk posed by Chinese-manufactured vehicles in February.  The move, which would effectively bar Chinese cars and trucks from the U.S. market, is intended to safeguard cars that can communicate externally, providing a route for U.S. adversaries to access and collect date and remotely manipulate cars on American roads. (per Reuters).

According to the Commerce Department, connected vehicles are a particular potential threat and noted the large amount of information cars take in through their sensors and cameras. U.S. Secretary of Commerce Gina Raimondo said in a statement: “Cars today have cameras, microphones, GPS tracking and other technologies connected to the internet. It doesn’t take much imagination to understand how a foreign adversary with access to this information could pose a serious risk to both our national security and the privacy of U.S. citizen.”

Raimondo said a foreign adversary could shut down or take simultaneous control of multiple vehicles, causing crashes and blocking roads: “This is not about trade or economic advantage this is a strictly national security action. The good news is right now, we don’t have many Chinese or Russian cars on our road.” 

Earlier this year, the White House announced 100% tariffs on Chinese electric cars, saying they are unfairly subsidized in China. The new proposal would prevent testing of self-driving cars on U.S. roads by Chinese automakers and extend to vehicle software and hardware produced by Russia and could be extended to other U.S. adversaries.The proposal would make software prohibitions effective in the 2027 model year. The hardware ban would take effect in the 2030 model year or January 2029. The Commerce Department is giving the public 30 days to comment on the proposal and hopes to finalize it by Jan. 20. The rules would cover all on-road vehicles but exclude agricultural or mining vehicles not used on public roads, as well as drones and trains.

See Adam Driver in the trailer for the Francis Ford Coppola’s film, ‘Megalopolis’

Lionsgate is gearing up to release the latest project from Francis Ford Coppola, “Megalopolis,” sharing a trailer for the film that was written, directed and produced by Coppola himself.

Megalopolis, starring Adam Driver, Giancarlo Esposito and Nathalie Emmanuel, follows the collapse of a future American empire while referencing the fall of Rome. The film marks the culmination of a decades-long project from the Coppola, who started working on the “Megalopolis” screenplay in the 1980s and invested $120 million of his own money into the making of it.

An official synopsis reads: “Megalopolis is a Roman Epic set in an imagined Modern America. The City of New Rome must change, causing conflict between Cesar Catalina (Driver), a genius artist who seeks to leap into a utopian, idealistic future, and his opposition, Mayor Franklyn Cicero (Esposito), who remains committed to a regressive status quo, perpetuating greed, special interests, and partisan warfare. Torn between them is socialite Julia Cicero (Emmanuel), the mayor’s daughter, whose love for Cesar has divided her loyalties, forcing her to discover what she truly believes humanity deserves.”

Megalopolis had its world premiere at the Cannes Film Festival in May; the cast also includes Aubrey Plaza, Shia LaBeouf, Jon Voight, Laurence Fishburne, Kathryn Hunter and Dustin Hoffman.

Megalopolis is set to debut in theaters on Sept. 27; watch the trailer for the film – HERE.
