Country singer Pat Green's family members missing in deadly central Texas floods
"We are grieving alongside countless Texans whose lives have been upended by this tragedy," he wrote on Instagram on Monday. "Right now, we kindly ask for privacy and space as we mourn, support each other, and begin to process what comes next for our family."
Green's wife, Kori Green, added that the "I Love Texas" singer's younger brother "John, his wife, Julia, and two of their children were swept away in the Kerrville flood. We are heartbroken and anxiously waiting for all of them to be found. Thank you for your prayers."
Green postponed a concert last Sunday amid the flooding, writing on the Fourth of July on his Facebook page, "Due to the unforeseen weather and tragedy around the Texas Hill Country, it has been decided to postpone tomorrow night's show," adding that the new date will be on Aug. 16.
More than 100 people have died in Texas after a storm caused flash flooding in the central part of the state, including 27 children at a summer camp, while dozens remain missing.
Green received an outpouring of support on his social media, with followers writing, "Y'all haven't been far from our minds. Continuing to pray," "sending love and prayers," and "Praying for peace and comfort for y'all during this absolutely devastating tragedy!"
Texas native Matthew McConaughey has been urging people on social media to help "where and how you can."
"It's gonna be a long road ahead, but right now the shock, the pain, and the chaos need the steady hand of a neighbor," he wrote on Monday on his Instagram.
The "Dallas Buyers Club" star added, "Texans are some of the most resilient and generous people on the planet."

'King of the Hill' showrunner discusses diversifying reboot cast: 'The world has changed'
Reboot showrunner Saladin K. Patterson discussed the new cast with original series creators Mike Judge and Greg Daniels at San Diego Comic-Con 2025. The creative minds behind the King of the Hill reboot are excited to introduce fans to "some new people" that've joined the family. The whip-smart animated sitcom chronicling the suburban exploits of the Hill family and their friends and neighbors in the fictional small town of Arlen, Tex., is returning after 15 long years off the air. During a Friday panel at San Diego Comic-Con 2025, showrunner Saladin K. Patterson, original series creators Mike Judge and Greg Daniels, and returning stars Pamela Adlon, Lauren Tom, Toby Huss, and Kathy Najimy discussed their return to Arlen, including some of its brand new residents. "It was important in the show, the world has changed a little bit since Hank and Peggy have been gone," Patterson said. "Casting has changed a little bit too since Hank and Peggy have been gone, as far as, actors fit the characters that they're portraying." The King of the Hill panel began with a screening of the full second episode of the new season. While some things about the Hills, the alley gang, the residents of Rainey street, and the world around them are comfortingly familiar, there are plenty of fresh new additions. And tweaks too — King of the Hill season 14 not only introduces new characters, but recasts the voices behind several characters of color. The most exciting new addition to the King of the Hill cast is the legendary Keith David, who plays a character named Brian Robertson. Brian moved into the Hill house while Hank (Judge) and Peggy (Najimy) decamped for Saudi Arabia on an Aramco project during the show's hiatus. The Hills have not only moved back to Arlen, but into their old house, and Brian's happy to join Hank, Dale (Johnny Hardwick/Toby Huss), Boomhauer (Judge), and Bill Dauterive (Stephen Root) during the alley gang's alley hangs. Though it was always savvily written along cultural lines and already boasted a cast of characters from a diverse array of backgrounds, King of the Hill was criticized during its original run for casting several white actors to voice characters of color. The reboot recasts several of these characters, with Kenneth Choi taking over for Huss as the voice of Laotian-American businessman Ted Wassanasong, Ki Hong Lee replacing Adlon as his boastful son, Chane, Ronny Chieng relieving Huss of the role as Kohng Koy "Kahn" Souphanousinphone, the Hills' Laotian-American next door neighbor, and Native American actor Tai Leclaire taking over the role of Bobby's friend Joseph Gribble from Breckin Meyer, who himself took over for Brittany Murphy in 2000. Patterson enthused that the reboot's creative team "got very lucky in being able to have so many people who were big fans of the show, like Ronnie Chieng, who grew up watching the show. He was a fan of it and came and joined us.""Such a natural Kahn," Daniels added. Patterson said that the switch-ups have "been really fun. That's added to some of the excitement, the family feeling, just inviting some new people to the family." Check out more of . Read the original article on Entertainment Weekly

WWE SmackDown results, highlights (July 25): WWE pays tribute to Hulk Hogan
"SmackDown" touched down in Cleveland with SummerSlam on the horizon. Unfortunately, it's been a rough past 48 hours for the wrestling world after the loss of the iconic Hulk Hogan. Appropriately, WWE acknowledged the legend right from the start. 💪 Tribute of the Night "SmackDown" celebrated the indescribable impact of Hulk Hogan with a tribute to Terry Bollea's life and legacy. It continued throughout the night, and interestingly enough, had comments about his legacy being "complex" mentioned by commentary and even Cody Rhodes. What more can be said that hasn't already been said? I haven't commented on the matter publicly, but to add my two cents, watching that excellent tribute video really made it feel bizarre to think that Hogan is gone. He truly is a figure worthy of that "Immortal" label. Reflecting on my earliest memories of Hogan is challenging. He had finished his final stint as a full-time wrestler with WWE by the time my fandom fully initiated around 2003. Honestly, I probably knew him more from "Hogan Knows Best," as I gradually learned more and more. Then there was the famous 2005 programs with Shawn Michaels. By then, it felt special to see him in action, despite the controversy surrounding how it ended. Ultimately, Hogan is unequivocally the biggest megastar pro wrestling has and will ever produce. 🗑️ Contrast of the Night There literally wasn't any better way to show the incredible change of times, going from the Hogan tribute to the Logan Paul and Jelly Roll program. I'm not going to spend much time on this whatsoever because it was as cringeworthy as you'd imagine, and nothing more than the pure business move it is. You can argue that this will enhance Randy Orton and Drew McIntyre as team members, but come on. We know that it won't in the long run. And it's not even like either needs a boost. McIntyre, specifically, just needs something to do, and here we are. It's bad and dumb, man. I suppose you could also argue that it's a callback to the old days of Hogan's prime and the early WrestleMania era, but we've evolved, and this is all for non-wrestling fans. 👑 Uncrowned Gem of the Night 👑 I won't lie to you guys, it's been difficult to hand out the Uncrowned Gem award in recent weeks, and not because there have been too many good happenings to choose from. Even on this "SmackDown," Roxanne Perez's victory over Alexa Bliss, achieved by a roll-up and holding the ropes, was far from perfect. So, let me just say that it was an incredibly stupid in-character move by Bliss to save Charlotte Flair from Raquel Rodriguez on the outside, as it cost her. She had Perez lined up for Twisted Bliss, and it took about three years for Bliss and Rodriguez to formulate that rough spot. Bliss also busted open her nose from it, falling straight into Rodriguez's knees. The blood added to the whole moment though, and most importantly here, story-wise, this was incredibly good to see Bliss and Flair care more and more about each other — to the point that it costs them matches. They're both so wildly likeable together, and I can't reiterate enough how much this has salvaged Flair's goodwill she lost with the audience. It will all culminate at SummerSlam when they become champions. Despite the awful women's tag team "division" and its lack of care, that title tilt is one I'm most excited for at the two-night event. 🥴 Senslessness of the Night Jade Cargill essentially squashed Chelsea Green in a somewhat impromptu match after a backstage comedy spot. I'm over The Secret Hervice, and this is a weird booking choice after what happened on "Raw" with the ruining of the Stephanie Vaquer vs. Iyo Sky rematch. It's as if they're the fallback jobber squad whenever WWE doesn't know what to do on a weekly show. It's not so much a Green problem because she's great. It just feels like she could be utilized more effectively while the TV time gets spread throughout the roster. It also makes zero sense for Tiffany Stratton even to consider helping her seemingly invisible title challenger. This was all around awful. 🤢 Regurgitation of the Night Abolish the Women's U.S. title. This is embarrassing. How? How can Triple H completely disregard so many female wrestlers? Especially after Evolution. On next week's "SmackDown," Zelina Vega gets a rematch against the champion who beat her, Giulia, without having won since, and just because, I guess. This also came with Kiana James randomly becoming Giulia's manager. Here's a crazy idea. Totally and utterly insane stuff, right? Book James — a fresh face — to seek the title instead of one of the same four people who have circled this title since it was introduced. There's nothing to care about with this rematch, and Giulia, of all people, deserves better. She's suffering from that Iyo Sky World Champion predicament of just not getting booked after winning the title, and when she does, it's lame. Admittedly, this is made so, so, so, so, so much worse when you look over at what's been going on with the Women's Intercontinental title. 🤬 DQ of the Night I don't even want to talk about this boiling garbage. The number of times I repeated "Oh my God" from annoyance when Nikki Cross got The Wyatt Sicks DQ'd in their title defense against Andrade and Rey Fenix is uncountable. It's legitimately impressive how WWE has managed to waste such degrees of this jam-packed, talented tag team division. The only good thing about this is that now SummerSlam gets a Tables, Ladders and Chairs match for the titles between all the teams. Yes. That means The Wyatt Sicks vs. The Street Profits vs. Fraxiom vs. DIY vs. Andrade and Fenix vs. Motor City Machine Guns. As fun as that overbooked chaos could be, it might actually be too much, and delaying it with these stupid bookings in the interim was so unnecessary. Just do the thing, man. You want to keep The Wyatts protected? This is a smart way to do it, but it simultaneously displays the whole problem with them to begin with. 👍 FRIDAY NIGHT FIRE 👍 1. The aforementioned Rhodes cut an excellent promo on John Cena before their SummerSlam "street fight" rematch. It's somewhat of clockwork at this point, as he asked for the "real" Cena to show up. So, all we can await is the potential double turn, or at the very least, Cena's turn back to a face. 2. Jacob Fatu beat The Miz with a pop-up Samoan drop before a Solo Sikoa and MFT beatdown. The match and aftermath were whatever, but what was great about this was seeing the fired-up Miz return in his hometown. A confident Miz is always great on the mic and more interesting to watch, thanks to his usual cowardice. 👎 DOWN & OUT 👎 There was an overly dramatic promo video for Damian Priest vs. Aleister Black on next week's "SmackDown." Listen, the match should be pretty good, but this couldn't feel more forced. Black playing a "debt collector" role is cool, but there is no debt here. He started the feud — because Priest talked to him. 👑 WWE's hot is hot, and the cold is icy. There hasn't been much consistency lately, except for some wildly annoying decisions. I give this show a Crown score of: 2.5/10. 👑

Pantera, Amon Amarth Rock As ‘Heaviest Tour Of The Summer' Continues
Phil Anselmo performs on stage with Pantera. Saturday, July 19, 2025 at Credit Union 1 Amphitheatre ... More in Tinley Park, IL Everything we do is for Dimebag and Vince,' said Phil Anselmo early in the set as Pantera's headlining tour continued Saturday night just outside the Windy City at Credit Union 1 Amphitheatre in Tinley Park, Illinois. 'Sing it, Chicago!' he shouted midway through '5 Minutes Alone.' Following the last performance to feature the group's most prominent lineup in 2001, and after the death of co-founding guitarist Dimebag Darrell (who was assassinated on stage in Columbus, Ohio in 2004) and his brother, drummer Vinnie Paul Abbott (who passed in 2018), singer Phil Anselmo and bassist Rex Brown put Pantera back together for a pair of performances in late 2022, hitting the road with Metallica soon after in the form of a supergroup touting touring members Zakk Wylde (Ozzy Osbourne, Black Label Society) on guitar and drummer Charlie Benante (Anthrax). Pantera's place in heavy music history is hard to overstate, with the group creating some of the most catchy, melodic music in the history of heavy metal, finding their true footing upon release of their seminal fifth studio album Cowboys From Hell (1990) while pioneering the aptly-titled groove metal sound, basically creating their own genre. Rex Brown performs on stage with Pantera. Saturday, July 19, 2025 at Credit Union 1 Amphitheatre in ... More Tinley Park, IL As one of the best selling groups in metal history, Pantera sold in excess of 20 million records globally, tallying four platinum albums and one gold album, a gold live album, a platinum best of, one gold video compilation and another trio of platinum home videos (all en route to four Grammy nominations). Tinley Park marked night three of this leg of the group's American outing, a run which continues into mid-September ahead of a return to Europe with Metallica in 2026. 'A vulgar legacy,' read the screen as vintage footage of the band ran. The curtain dropped as flames erupted, with pyro shooting out from behind Benante, who was seated at an immense quadruple kick drum kit with a pair of drumheads bearing the visages of Dime and Vinnie Paul. Following opening cut 'Hellbound,' Pantera moved quickly toward 'Strength Beyond Strength' as a massive raucous crowd in the supposed 28,000 capacity outdoor venue made their presence known, with the band taking early and consistent notice of the beyond vocal crowd. Phil Anselmo (left) and Zakk Wylde (right) perform on stage with Pantera. Saturday, July 19, 2025 at ... More Credit Union 1 Amphitheatre in Tinley Park, IL 'Oh my goodness…' mused Anselmo on stage in Tinley Park, eschewing typical stage banter as he marveled in a seemingly genuine fashion. 'I mean, Chicago, this is an exceptional audience,' he continued, requesting the house lights be turned up for a better look. 'Chicago always, always represents. The Chicago audience, man - incredible every time,' said Anselmo. 'And there's proof of it on the first home video.' Benante's drums came pummeling into 'Mouth For War,' with Anselmo thumb to throat while pumping his right fist as Benante and Wylde played out the track. Brown rumbled on the low end as Anselmo continued to work the crowd, strapping on a guitar midway through 'Goddamn Electric' as he faced off against Wylde, with each tearing away passionately at an axe. 'Your trust is in whiskey, weed and Black Sabbath,' he sang, two weeks removed from the group's set during Black Sabbath's 'Back to the Beginning' farewell concert in Aston, Birmingham, England. 'It's god damn electric!' screamed Anselmo unknowingly, prior to the death of rock and metal legend Ozzy Osbourne just three days after the Tinley Park performance. Charlie Benante performs on stage with Pantera. Saturday, July 19, 2025 at Credit Union 1 ... More Amphitheatre in Tinley Park, IL 'F–in' awesome,' noted Phil as the crowd did the heavy vocal lifting on 'Becoming,' with Brown nodding in apparent agreement. 'Lemme see those fists in the air - upstairs!' said the Singer, again toasting Dimebag and Vinnie Paul. Brown and Wylde chipped in on the vocals to 'I'm Broken' as red flame fountains soared with Anselmo closing his eyes as he raised both arms triumphantly over his head following a terrific take on the Far Beyond Driven hit. 'There is a song that we've added to the set that we haven't played much in the past,' said Anselmo, just two shows removed from Pantera's first ever live performance of '10's,' a standout deep cut from 1996's The Great Southern Trendkill.' Wylde seemed right at home recreating the droning opening dirge as the band slowed down into a stellar stoney groove throughout a standout moment Saturday night. Benante stood up behind his kit at the end, pumping his right fist as a deafening 'Pantera!' chant grew organically amongst the terrific Chicagoland crowd. 'Love it and appreciate it so much - so f–in' much,' said Anselmo in response. Zakk Wylde performs on stage with Pantera. Saturday, July 19, 2025 at Credit Union 1 Amphitheatre in ... More Tinley Park, IL Saturday night's crowd was almost split between old school Pantera veterans and younger kids, many of whom probably weren't born by the time the band called it a day in 2003. And, Anselmo, 57, was lucid, maintaining a powerful voice that only grew in its ferocity over the course of 90 minutes. Musically, Benante proved the lynchpin while Wylde deftly applied his own spin to Dimebag's iconic licks. 'There is a section in this song that is f–ing heavy. It's f–ing heavy,' reiterated the singer, setting up 'I'll Cast a Shadow.' 'I expect everybody to act accordingly. I'll give you a heads up when it's coming,' said the singer playfully, huddling with Brown stage right as the audience did as instructed. 'Give it up for SNAFU! And absolutely give it up for our Viking Brothers!' said Anselmo, shouting out opening acts SNAFU and Amon Amarth. Detroit rockers SNAFU, who are signed to Anselmo's Housecore Records, performed for about a half hour Saturday in Tinley Park ahead of Swedish melodic death metal vets Amon Amarth. Rex Brown performs on stage with Pantera. Saturday, July 19, 2025 at Credit Union 1 Amphitheatre in ... More Tinley Park, IL 'This tour has been amazing so far and tonight is gonna be hard to top,' said Amon Amarth singer Johan Hegg. 'Thank you for having a f–ing awesome party!' he continued, setting up 'Raise Your Horns.' 'I take this opportunity to raise my horn to you: cheers!' he continued, closing out the song with a left legged roundhouse kick shortly thereafter. Heading toward encore, Pantera went even lower and slower than on record, with the supergroup putting their own sinister spin upon 'This Love.' 'This flew by,' said Anselmo returning to the stage. 'I wanna thank you again. This could well be the best American audience,' he continued, once again commending the Windy City faithful as Wylde ripped into the buzzsaw opening guitar riff at the heart of a song that's stood as a mission statement of sorts for the Texas-born rocker over 35 years: 'Cowboys From Hell.' Anselmo, barefoot on stage throughout, paused for the first time Saturday night as Benante worked the crowd into another 'Pantera!' chant, kicking things up a notch appropriately via 'A New Level.' Phil Anselmo (left) and Zakk Wylde (right) perform on stage with Pantera. Saturday, July 19, 2025 at ... More Credit Union 1 Amphitheatre in Tinley Park, IL 'I do believe that audience is going to peak during this next song,' said the singer with a smile looking to his right at Wylde. 'I can't think of a better audience to address,' Anselmo continued. 'I wanna see every fist and hear every voice. Zachariah… play the f–ing riff!' he commanded, as Wylde dove into arguably Dimebag's most resonant riff, with pyro criss-crossing behind the band as 'Walk' kicked off in Chicago, one of metal's true anthems. Anselmo signed an autograph for a fan in front, taking his time as Pantera soaked up the love before wrapping up with 'F–ing Hostile,' shaking hands with Brown as he returned to the center of the stage. 'Listen to the patience of Chicago,' mused the always quotable Anselmo in the show's final moments. 'I like to say it: If and when we come back to this f–ing place, who's gonna come see Pantera again?' asked the singer rhetorically. 'Sing your god damned lungs out!'
