“Should’ve Been a Cowboy” laid the foundation for Toby Keith’s country music career. Released in 1993, the first single from Keith’s eponymous debut album hit No. 1 on the U.S. Billboard Hot Country Songs chart. From there, Keith recorded 19 more No. 1 songs and an additional 22 Top 10 hits. The Oklahoma native was still enjoying immense popularity at the time of his tragic death in February. And as it turns out, “Should’ve Been a Cowboy” serves multiple purposes. Just ask the country singer who recently cheered up a flight full of weary passengers thanks to Toby Keith’s signature song.

Steve Harvey thrives as modern media's hardest working man. He prospers in radio with his daily morning show. But his biggest success of all lies in the realm of television. He blows up as one of the Kings of Comedy, transitioning him to a big sitcom in the 90s. He runs a talk show until NBC network swaps him out for Kelly Clarkson. Now, he's a TV judge like Mathis and Judy.

If there's one thing I love, it's "Pedestrian Controversy." Jeopardy has had many, many contestants throughout the show's long-tenured history. Few, however, have been as controversial as former Survivor contestant, Drew Basile. Basile eliminated fan-favorite choice, Adriana Harmeyer, to cement his future Tournament of Champions participation. Additionally, Basile is the kind of guy who claps for himself when he gets an answer right. Oh, and he's not too keen on shaking other people's hands.

Full transparency: that was the most "PG" photo I could find of one of Katy Perry's Paris Fashion Week outfits. Don't get me wrong — it's an incredible look. Effective half-nakedness aside, I adore the fact that Perry could easily be mistaken for being on her way to shooting a new Matrix movie. Fortunately, I believe it'll be safe if I show y'all as "full" a picture of the attire as I can without being fired!

This past weekend, the King and Chris Stapleton teamed up to duet Willie and Merle's classic hit "Pancho and Lefty."

Stapleton is currently opening a summer stadium trek for Strait, and I recently saw them at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte and it was truly incredible... I typically don't love shows in such big venues like that, but they were amazing and it's already one of my all-time favorite concerts.

I mean, when you get that kind of talent on a bill together, you're setting yourself up for something spectacular.

And throughout this little run, they've gotten together...

Travel days are not fun to begin with, whether it's traffic, long TSA lines, or canceled flights; most travel days come with some "anything that can go wrong will go wrong" moments. But nothing is worse than getting on your flight and ready to take off, and then, being old, you have to sit in a cramped airplane seat while things get sorted out before taking off.
