Walker didn't recall having any conversations with actress Esther Rolle, who played his TV mother, Florida Evans, or actor John Amos, who played James Evans, his TV mother.

Katy Perry’s latest musical comeback has hit a snag as her new single “Woman’s World” bombed on the charts and with critics.

These positions fall short of expectations for the multi-platinum artist, known for her string of chart-topping hits.

Barry O jamming some Morgan Wallen?

Every year, former president Barack Obama reveals what he's been listening to on his summer playlist. There's usually a good mix on there, but he pretty much always includes a few country songs...er, at least songs from country artists...on his playlist. And this year was no different.

Surely the one that's going to raise eyebrows is Morgan Wallen's collaboration with Moneybagg Yo, "Whiskey Whiskey." Not because it's weird that a former president is listening to a song called "Whiskey Whiskey," but because Morgan has obviously had his...well, issues in the past.
