Lainey Wilson releases 'Somewhere Over Laredo'
May 23 (UPI) -- ACM Entertainer of the Year Lainey Wilson released "Somewhere Over Laredo" and a performance video on Friday.
"Caught me a red eye flight out of Houston, found me a window seat with a view. Headed out west for South California. One Tito's in, I'm thinking 'bout you," she sings, sitting on a stool, wrapped in a blanket. "In that little border town, where the desert glows gold when the sun goes down. My head's thirty thousand feet in the clouds, knowing 20 minutes from now, I'll be somewhere over Laredo."
The country star, 33, talked about the track on CBS Mornings.
"I spend a lot of my time 30,000 feet in the air, flying to the next show, the next town, and you know when you're staring out the window you get to just spend a little bit of time with yourself and reminisce and dream, talk to God, and all of those things and this song right here -- it gave me an opportunity to kind of step back into a pair of shoes that I wore a long time ago," she said.
"And I'm partial, but this is one of my favorite songs that I have ever written, and, I mean, of course everybody is inspired by the song 'Somewhere Over the Rainbow,' and we'll see. It's out now," she added.
Wilson is set to perform at the upcoming 51st annual American Music Awards on Monday.

Photo by John Angelillo/UPI | License Photo June 6 (UPI) -- Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning star Tom Cruise earned a Guinness World Record during filming when he completed six jumps out of a helicopter with his parachute on fire. The record-keeping organization said Cruise, who plays Ethan Hunt in the espionage film series, earned the title for the most burning parachute jumps by an individual. In each of his 16 jumps, Cruise was strapped to a parachute that had been soaked in fuel and lit it on fire, before cutting himself free of the burning chute and deploying a backup. "Tom doesn't just play action heroes -- he is an action hero," Craig Glenday, editor-in-chief of Guinness World Records, said in a news release. "A large part of his success can be chalked up to his absolute focus on authenticity and pushing the boundaries of what a leading man can do. It's an honor to be able to recognize his utter fearlessness with this new Guinness World Records title," Glenday said.

‘Couples Therapy' is renewed for Season 5
June 6 (UPI) -- Paramount+ announced Friday that Couples Therapy is getting a fifth season. The news arrives after the second installment of Season 4 began streaming May 23 on Paramount+ with Showtime. Viewership increased 30% across platforms when compared to the previous season, a press release states. The series follows Dr. Orna Guralnik's real-life therapy sessions with various couples she is counseling through relationship challenges. Couples Therapy showcases both the breakdowns and the breakthroughs, according to an official synopsis. Season 4B introduced four new couples. "People can just talk about nothing," said Guralnik in a recent preview for the episodes. "Either they just bicker endlessly or obsess over something that doesn't matter -- that's all noise... But as analysts we're trained to listen in for that and to find a way to move from noise to signal." 2025 United Press International, Inc. All Rights Reserved.

Sabrina Carpenter releases summer single 'Manchild'
June 6 (UPI) -- Sabrina Carpenter is back with a new music video. The pop singer, 26, released a video for her song "Manchild" on Friday. The video opens with a seagull perched on a turtle meandering through a desert landscape. Carpenter hitches a ride, goes rollerblading while clinging to a truck, plays pool with a shotgun, and takes a bath with pigs. "Manchild, why you always come running to me?" she sings as she navigates several odd and precarious situations. "I swear they choose me. I'm not choosing them. Amen," she sings. On Instagram, she said that the song was created shortly after she dropped her album Short n' Sweet. "Not only was it so fun to write," she said. "But this song became to me something I can look back on what will score the mental montage to the very confusing and fun young adult years of life. It sounds like the song embodiment of a loving eye roll, and it feels like a never-ending road trip in the summer!" "Hence, why I wanted to give it to you now -- so you can stick your head out the car window and scream it all summer long!" she added.
