Reba McEntire and Miranda Lambert Stun Lainey Wilson Ahead of ACM Awards
The three country music superstars teamed up to film a promotional video for tonight's awards show, but, to Lainey's surprised, Reba and Miranda gave her an early award instead. Lainey looked stunned as Reba announced, "We are here to present the Artist Songwriter of the year to our good friend, Lainey Wilson."
Lainey said, "Stop, y'all better be lying!" Then she said, "That means so much!" And let out a yell as she got a group hug from her friends.
This one of Lainey's seven nominations this year. She also received nods for Entertainer of the Year, Female Artist of the Year, Album of the Year, Song of the Year, and Visual Media of the Year.

Sydney Sweeney Claps Back At Bathwater Controversy With Jacob Elordi ‘Saltburn' Reference
Sydney Sweeney is calling out critics of her bathwater soap collab. In an interview with the Wall Street Journal, which was published on Aug. 20, the 'Anyone But You' star explained why she felt like there was hypocrisy in the backlash she received for announcing her collab with men's personal care brand Dr. Squatch in May to sell bars of soap infused with her 'actual bathwater.' 'It was mainly the girls making comments about it, which I thought was really interesting,' she told WSJ. 'They all loved the idea of Jacob Elordi's bathwater,' she noted, referencing to the 2023 film 'Saltburn.' Solve the daily Crossword

Austin Butler feared he was 'dying'
Austin Butler feared he was "dying" when he went temporarily blind. The 34-year-old actor was on his way to film 2023's The Bikeriders when he was jolted awake with a terrible migraine as his flight landed and realised he had lost his vision. He told the new issue of Men's Health magazine: 'It felt like the life was being sucked from my body. 'I suddenly felt a euphoric sensation, and I actually genuinely thought I was dying." The Elvis star's sight slowly returned to normal and he went on to spend the entire day working on set, writing off the incident as a side effect of sleep deprivation. Austin was convinced to put in the best performance, he had to be "tortured", and suffered several health issues as a result, including a pain in his foot for months after promoting Dune: Part Two and appendicitis-like pain that hospitalised him for a week after filming Elvis. He said: 'For a long time, I felt that it [acting] had to be a tortured process and I would come out the other side broken." But mentors such as Laura Dern have helped him find balance between work and his health. He said of the 58-year-old actress: 'She's helping me more and more to see that you can come out the other side, and maybe bits of you have healed, and synthesized, and metabolised. "It can be therapeutic, in a way. 'You don't have to destroy the light.' And the Once Upon a Time... In Hollywood actor has found ways to stop trying to erase himself in his performances. He said: 'Rather than just putting parts of yourself away and trying to pretend that they don't exist, it's like going into the gross bits of yourself - going into the bits that you don't want to look at - and finding a way of integrating that into the whole.' Austin famously poured so much into his Oscar-nominated portrayal of Elvis Presley, he needed to work with a dialect coach to get rid of The King's distinctive drawl afterwards, and he recalled feeling lost once filming ended. He said: 'And then it's done, after three years. And then it's like, Wait, what do I focus on now? What do I read about? What do I watch? What do I like? And also, I haven't talked to my friends. Who do I call?'

Judge Frank Caprio Dies: ‘Caught In Providence' Jurist Whose Clips Have Billions Of Views On Social Media Was 88
Judge Frank Caprio, who starred for two seasons on the syndicated courtroom show Caught in Providence and became a social media star in clips displaying his compassion, kindness and empathy, died Wednesday of pancreatic cancer, his family said. He was 88. The jurist's death was announced on social media. 'Beloved for his compassion, humility, and unwavering belief in the goodness of people, Judge Caprio touched the lives of millions through his work in the courtroom and beyond,' the family's post reads in part. 'His warmth, humor, and kindness left an indelible mark on all who knew him.' More from Deadline 2025 Deaths Photo Gallery: Hollywood & Media Obituaries 2024 Hollywood & Media Deaths: Photo Gallery & Obituaries Carol Altieri Dies: Longtime CBS Executive In Program Practices Was 76 Born on November 24, 1936, in Providence, RI, Caprio already had presided over thousands of cases as chief judge of his hometown's municipal court when TV came calling. Caught in Providence began as a local-access show before being picked up in 2000 for a run on Saturday nights on local ABC affiliate WLNE. It would air regionally for years, which many clips going viral, before Debmar-Mercury picked up the show for national syndication in 2018. It ran for two seasons in markets big and small until Caprio's retirement in 2020, and clips from the Citylife Productions show have been viewed billions of times on Facebook, YouTube, TikTok and other platforms. In a 2019 interview for Rhode Island Monthly, Caprio said his wife Joyce suggested the local-access TV time should be used to show him at work behind the bench. ' 'I didn't like the idea actually, but of course, when my wife makes a suggestion, I usually don't win that battle,' he said. 'I agreed we would try it and see if it was something that worked. And there was an overwhelmingly positive response.' Watch a clip from Caught in Providence here: 'All the segments of court in Providence are actual court proceedings, so it's not a program and it's not a court show, it's actual real proceedings that are being televised,' Caprio told the magazine. 'We show a slice of life of Rhode Island that is very interesting, and it reflects the same issues people are experiencing nationwide.' He received the Producer's Circle Award at the 2018 Rhode Island International Film Festival. Debmar-Mercury co-presidents Mort Marcus and Ira Bernstein said in a statement: 'Judge Caprio's unique brand of compassion and common sense approach to justice caught the attention of daytime TV and social media audiences, making Caught in Providence a fan favorite. We will miss him dearly, and our hearts go out to the Caprio family.' Caprio also served on the City Council for six years during the 1960s and later ran for state Attorney General. After he retired, his former courtroom was renamed The Chief Judge Frank Caprio Courtroom. Caprio appeared as a judge in a 2007 episode Showtime's Providence-set crime-and-politics thriller Brotherhood. His memoir, Frank Caprio Compassion in the Court, was published in February. Along with his wife, Caprio is survived by five children, seven grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.
