Country singer Blake Shelton set for Tuscaloosa show
The Mercedes-Benz Amphitheater announced Monday the star would be performing at the venue. Shelton, who debuted in 2001, released his single 'Texas' in November. The Oklahoma native is known as the voice behind 'Austin,' 'Some Beach,' 'All About Tonight,' 'Honey Bee,' 'God Gave Me You,' 'Boys 'Round Here' and 'God's Country.'
Tickets will be available to purchase for the general public at 10 a.m. Friday, though the artist presale starts 10 a.m. Wednesday. Shelton's performance is scheduled a day before Alabama football is set to face Tennessee in Bryant-Denny Stadium.

Paramount partners with Hillwood, Sheridan's SGS Studios to open Fort Worth production campus
Soon, Fort Worth could see more films being produced locally. Paramount, the parent company of CBS, has partnered with Hillwood and Taylor Sheridan's SGS Studios to launch a 450,000-square-foot film and television production campus. "This is an unprecedented time for film in Fort Worth. We've always been a great option for productions with diverse locations and a really talented local crew base, but now we have that infrastructure that's been our missing piece," said Taylor Hardy, Fort Worth Film Commissioner. The two-building campus, located in north Fort Worth, allows for four simultaneous large-scale productions. It will feature sound stages, post-production suites, and space to build additional sets and props — a major milestone for the Texas film industry and a boost to the local economy. "We know that for a large-scale show like this their budgets can range from a million a day or even higher, so that's touching everything from real estate agents to doctors, police officers that are hired to work on set, construction crews, so really film production is supporting our business in Fort Worth," Hardy said. Hillwood says filming for Landman season 2 is already underway. Overall, the show has created close to 4,000 jobs in the area. SGS Studios has also partnered with Tarrant County College to offer job training programs in the entertainment industry. Hardy said the opportunity could also attract more visitors: "We've seen that audiences who have seen Landman have been interested in visiting Fort Worth, which could draw an additional quarter million visitors per year." News of the development comes just months after state lawmakers passed a bill providing millions of dollars in tax incentives to the film industry over the next 10 years.

9-1-1: Nashville Cast Suits Up in First-Look Photos, Plus Everything Else We Know About ABC's 9-1-1 Spinoff
The 113 is officially ready for action. ABC has released first-look photos of the 9-1-1: Nashville cast, formally introducing eager fans to their soon-to-be-favorite first responders. And while the 9-1-1 franchise has thrown plenty of natural disasters in the paths of its dedicated men and women over the years, from an earthquake to a tsunami to an asteroid — but a flaming tornado? That's definitely a new one. More from TVLine Casting News: Will Trent Ups Kevin Daniels to Regular, Strangers With Candy Reunion and More Rena Sofer Is Leaving Los Angeles - But Is Lois Cerullo Also Leaving General Hospital? Casting News: 9-1-1: Nashville Books Kane Brown, Patrick Dempsey's Fox Drama Adds 2 and More The first official promo for 9-1-1: Nashville finds a fiery twister touching down in Music City, implying it to be the first disaster facing its firefighters this fall. Watch the promo below: 'There were a lot of possibilities that had been talked about,' 9-1-1: Nashville executive producer Tim Minear tells TVLine, explaining that the setting was ultimately chosen for two reasons. 'One, I think that it's a really interesting city with its own personality. It's very unlike Austin. We did kind of a red state 9-1-1 [with Lone Star], but Austin is a very blue town. Nashville felt even a little bit more Southern. It also has the country music industry, and it just felt like it could be a fun place to set a piece of the franchise.' The second reason is a bit more practical. 'Quite frankly, Tennessee is very production-friendly,' Minear adds. 'That also factored into our reasoning. There are some states that you think would be fantastic places to set the show, but it's just not cost effective to do it.' 9-1-1: Nashville is also being executive-produced by Ryan Murphy, former 9-1-1: Lone Star showrunner Rashad Raisani, Brad Falchuk, Chad Lowe and Angela Bassett. Read on for a breakdown of everything (and everyone) we know about 9-1-1: Nashville, then drop a comment with your own thoughts and hopes for the franchise's next chapter. Chris O'Donnell as Don Sharpe Chris O'Donnell (NCIS: Los Angeles) is set to star in the highly anticipated spinoff. He will play Captain Don Sharpe, 'a rugged fire captain and rodeo rider who runs Nashville's busiest firehouse with his beloved son,' according to the official character breakdown. 'Don's a devoted husband and family man but he has his secrets.' Jessica Capshaw as Blythe Sharpe Former Grey's Anatomy star Jessica Capshaw was the second addition to the cast, stepping into the role of Don's (O'Donnell) wife Blythe. She's in the horse racing business, which is a natural fit for Capshaw, who 'grew up riding' and is still 'around horses all the time.' 'She's everything you want to be, and you want to talk to your daughters about being,' Capshaw tells TVLine. 'She's this equal mix of strong and smart and strategic and ambitious. At the same time, she's incredibly warm and holding everyone together and making sure that everyone's feeling good. She's the empath and the conductor at the same time. It's going to be very fun to see how that plays out.' LeAnn Rimes as Dixie Bennings The country singer is making her series-regular TV debut in the role of Dixie Bennings, though we still don't have very much on-the-record information about the character. During an interview with TVLine's sister site Flow Space, Rimes revealed that Dixie is a mother, something the show's crew apparently found difficult to believe. 'They were like, 'Oh, wow, we heard you're going to be playing a mom. What? There's no way you're old enough to play a mom!'' Rimes recalled. Kimberly Williams-Paisley as Cammie Raleigh The former Nashville star is returning to Music City, this time playing a dispatcher named Cammie. Michael Provost as Ryan Provost stars plays Don and Blythe's son Ryan, a firefighter and modern-day cowboy. Hailey Kilgore as Taylor Kilgore plays Taylor, a firefighter and incredible singer. Juani Feliz as Roxie Feliz plays Roxie, a former trauma surgeon and total adrenaline junkie. Hunter McVey as Blue McVey plays Blue, a haunted bad boy-turned-firefighter. When Will 9-1-1: Nashville Premiere on ABC? The series premiere of 9-1-1: Nashville will air Thursday, Oct. 9 at 9/8c on ABC, sandwiched between the Season 9 premiere of 9-1-1 (8 pm) and the Season 22 premiere of Grey's Anatomy (10 pm). (The premiere was originally set for Oct. 16, but ABC bumped it up a week.) Will 9-1-1: Nashville Have Crossovers With 9-1-1? 9-1-1: Lone Star only staged one full crossover with 9-1-1 during its five-season run, along with a FaceTime cameo from Angela Bassett's Athena. Logistics were blamed for the lack of interaction between the two shows, and it doesn't sound like we can hope for much better with 9-1-1: Nashville. 'It's just not something we're thinking about right now,' Minear says. That said, Oliver Stark got the fandom speculating in early August 2025 when he posted an Instagram story from — you guessed it — Nashville. Perhaps the plans have changed. Will Any 9-1-1: Lone Star Characters Join 9-1-1: Nashville? With 9-1-1: Lone Star having reached what many fans consider to be an early conclusion, it could be fun for a few characters to continue their stories on the spinoff. Fun… but not likely. 'I have no current plans for that,' Minear tells TVLine. 'But it's not impossible!' For what it's worth, Rob Lowe recently expressed his desire to make an appearance as Owen Strand, his character from Lone Star. 'I'll have to ask Chad Lowe, my brother,' Lowe said. 'Chad Lowe is the executive producer, director of 9-1-1 Nashville. So I'm just waiting for my phone to ring. I mean, you know, I hired him on Lone Star. I think turnabout is fair play.' What Role Will Music Play on 9-1-1: Nashville? Though he can't say how quite yet, Minear confirms that music will 'absolutely' factor into 9-1-1: Nashville. What, you thought they'd set a show in literal 'Music City' and not let anyone pick up a guitar? LeAnn Rimes will obviously take center stage, but we wouldn't be surprised to also see Hailey Kilgore's character Taylor (an 'incredible singer') find her way into the spotlight at some point.

Dolly Parton Offers Tender Message To Kelly Clarkson And Reba McEntire
Dolly Parton offered a tender message of solace to the loved ones of Brandon Blackstock, a talent manager who died from skin cancer last week at the age of 48. Blackstock was the ex-husband of Kelly Clarkson and the former stepson of Reba McEntire. Parton, who lost her husband, Carl Thomas Dean, in March, was asked by Entertainment Tonight on Monday if she had any words of comfort for Clarkson and McEntire. While she revealed she hasn't yet had a chance to speak with them directly, her affection for both women was evident. 'I think that you just have to be grateful for the years that you've had with someone, and you just try to remember the very best of all that,' Parton said. 'Take their energy that they had given you then, and you just kind of recycle that, and let that become a part of you. Just honor their memory and just know they're in a better place than we are these days.' Blackstock died Aug. 7, three years after being diagnosed with skin cancer. A day before his death, Clarkson postponed the remainder of her Las Vegas residency dates, citing personal reasons. 'While I normally keep my personal life private, this past year, my children's father has been ill and at this moment, I need to be fully present for them,' she shared in an Instagram post. 'I am sincerely sorry to everyone who bought tickets to the shows and I so appreciate your grace, kindness and understanding.' Related...
