Morgan Wallen gives a BRUTAL snub to next year's Grammy Awards despite having America's best-selling album
Morgan Wallen has made one of the most shocking decisions of his career. Despite having the best-selling album of the year with I'm The Problem, the country superstar, 32, is refusing to even enter the Grammys race after nearly a decade of snubs. On Tuesday, Billboard confirmed that Wallen's team will not be submitting his last record, or any of its 37 tracks, for consideration at the 2026 Grammy Awards. According to Hits Daily Double, which first broke the news, the boycott extends to all categories, including the songwriting categories and best country solo performance. The only exception: his camp isn't blocking other songwriters from submitting their own work from the project. The decision is a striking one given the success of the I'm the Problem, which produced four No. 1 singles on Billboard's Country Airplay chart and his chart-topper duet with Tate McRae, What I Want. For the Lies Lies Lies hitmaker, the choice may be as simple as not needing another trophy to validate his success or not feeling comfortable in the room. Earlier this year, he made headlines after abruptly leaving Saturday Night Live to return to 'God's country.' While it is an unspoken tradition for the guests and the cast to hug and mingle before the credits roll, he reportedly rushed off at the end of the show to head to the airport. At the time, Wallen's team told Variety that he had a good time on the show and did not mean to cause any offense with his quick exit and Instagram post. has reached out to Wallen's team for comment. Wallen's latest move highlights his fraught relationship with the Recording Academy over the past decade. The East Tennessee native has never earned a Grammy nomination for his solo work. His only nods came earlier this year for his collaboration with Post Malone on I Had Some Help, which scored two nominations and zero wins. That lack of recognition has become more glaring as Wallen's star has risen. His 2021 double album Dangerous was crowned Billboard's No. 1 album of the first 25 years of the century. Yet the Grammy voters all but ignored him, even in the best new artist category. Many have speculated that the Grammys has historically iced Wallen out due to his turbulent past and controversies. In 2021, he was caught on video using a racial slur, sparking industry backlash. He apologized and checked into rehab, while the Academy of Country Music and Country Music Association both banned him from eligibility for a year. Since then, Nashville has welcomed him back. He's scored 13 CMA nominations and took home entertainer of the year in 2024. At the ACM Awards, he's been nominated 20 times post-scandal, winning three, including album of the year for Dangerous and male artist of the year in 2023. While Wallen's boycott is unusual, it's not unheard of. The Weeknd famously stopped submitting music after his After Hours album and hit track, Blinding Lights, were snubbed in 2021. At the time, he tweeted that the Grammys were 'corrupt.' Drake, too, has declined to participate, citing a lack of recognition for hip-hop. Even after a decade in the industry, Wallen, who launched to stardom after competing on The Voice at age 20 in 2014, recently admitted fame is 'still weird' to him. 'There's parts of that that I don't like,' he said on the Last Weekend podcast after his SNL exit made headlines. 'I think anybody who has to deal with that… it's not ideal.' 'It's not ideal to go everywhere, and even if you don't get bothered, you were on edge the whole time because you thought you might [be bothered],' he continued. 'There's things that you just don't do. There's just things you don't do anymore.' As for how he spends most of his free time, Wallen explained he usually goes hunting out with his buddies 'in the middle of nowhere' to be 'at ease.' 'I ain't been in a bar since the last time I was in a bar that everybody knows about,' he quipped referencing his notorious night out at Eric Church's bar in Nashville, which ended with an arrest for throwing a chair off the rooftop.

Was infamous Alien Autopsy actually REAL? New ‘bonkers' Louis Theroux-produced documentary attempts to find out
THE world was left in shock when grainy film footage featuring a so-called Alien Autopsy was released in 1995. Now a new documentary from Louis Theroux 's production company Mindhouse will re-examine the bizarre tale. 9 9 9 Alien Autopsy attempts to answer the question: was it a total hoax or based on a genuine occurrence? While the 18-minute 1995 film was found to have been made in a flat in Camden, North London, many are still convinced it is not only based on an actual alien autopsy, but includes images from a 1947 film. These appeared to show three officials in hazmat suits dissecting the corpse of an alien recovered from a crash-site near Roswell, New Mexico. The new documentary's director John Dower said: 'With its makers describing it as 'a restoration' it is still possible that it's based on original frames from an existing post-war film. 'I've directed some bonkers documentaries, but never one which is so difficult to work out what is real and what isn't.' When it was released 20 years ago, the footage became an instant sensation, captivating film experts, military analysts, and the Secret Service. As well as talking to those involved in the film, including artist John Humphries who created the 'alien' body being dissected, the new Sky Documentaries series uses the event to delver deeper into the world of ufology and the impact of Alien Autopsy. FITTING TO FILM BONNIE THE hugely controversial Bonnie Blue documentary has been defended by boss Ian Katz, who says Channel 4 has to 'reach the parts other broadcasters don't'. Talking at Edinburgh TV Festival about the one-off special on the OnlyFans star and its hit series Virgin Island, which followed adults learning how to be intimate, he said other programme-makers are too 'risk averse'. Ian said: 'I don't think anyone would seriously argue that that's a territory that Channel 4 should not be going into. Viewers outraged at Bonnie Blue claiming she is a 'community worker' as she sleeps with 1,000 men in explosive new doc 'My view is that we took two huge issues and created a really meaningful, intelligent, nuanced debate. 'With 1,000 Men And Me: The Bonnie Blue Story, in particular, it was about what porn is doing to the younger generation. 'Both those shows were huge hits with viewers. 'Bonnie Blue is already our biggest hit of the year, and 60 per cent of the viewers were women, so the argument that it was a piece of titillation watched by dirty old men is dead in the water.' He added: 'Channel 4 is not in the business of being shocking for shocking's sake. 'Our remit is to create meaningful discussion and prompt people to think about aspects of British life that others aren't engaging with.' ROCK ME, AMADEUS 9 9 9 HERE is a sensational first look at Sky's new TV adaptation of the life of Mozart. Like the landmark 1984 movie, it is called Amadeus (the composer's middle name), only this new version has The White Lotus star Will Sharpe in the lead. Avengers' Paul Bettany plays his rival Antonio Salieri, an Italian composer who both loved and hated Mozart due to his superior talent. The five-parter, which is due to drop later this year, also features Gabrielle Creevy as the muso's beloved wife Constanze Weber. Set in bustling music hub of Vienna during the 18th century, Mozart's great love and Salieri become two opposing forces in his life. At 25, he is no longer a child prodigy and needs to find work, but he craves creative freedom – among other things. According to the press release Joe Barton and Julian Farino's adaptation will 'interrogate the mythic rivalry of the two composers.' Anyone over a certain age will remember the Oscar-winning film, which starred F. Murray Abraham as Salieri and Tom Hulce as Mozart. Judging by these pictures, the TV show will be just as captivating. GANGS BACK ON PROWL GANGS Of London has been given the green light for a fourth series. Confirmed during the Edinburgh TV Festival, the Sky thriller will start filming this year and could be on screen by late 2026. The most recent series, starring Joe Cole in the lead role of gangster Sean Wallace, dropped all ten episodes at once on the streaming service in March. The show launched in 2020 and has been one of Sky's most successful dramas. Details of the new storyline and cast members for series four have yet to be revealed. CHANNEL 5 boss Ben Frow gave the most random quote of the festival during his 'spotlight' interview yesterday. Discussing the fact a certain Take That frontman had been given a travelogue, he said: 'Why is Gary Barlow wandering around Australia talking wine, I mean, why?' DAN CAN BIG IT UP AGAIN 9 DANNY DYER should crack open a tinny in celebration – he's only gone and bagged himself a third series of Mr Bigstuff. The good news was confirmed during the TV festival by Sky Max, who've been thrilled by the fact it's become their highest-rated new original comedy in three years. Former EastEnders star Danny plays the lead role of Lee, which earned him a Bafta win earlier this year. In the first series, which debuted in 2024, he was seen bringing havoc to the life of his unsuspecting brother Glen, played by Ryan Sampson, who also created the series. Sky only announced series two of the show last month. LAW WAR LOOMING FOR DOM 9 SKY has unveiled a huge new legal thriller starring Dominic West and Sienna Miller. War is set in the elite world of London law and is already so well thought of that two series have been ordered all at once. The team behind the show say it will launch with a legal wrangle that 'sends shockwaves through boardrooms, bedrooms and courtrooms alike.' War follows two of the capital's most prestigious rival firms – Cathcarts and Taylor & Byrne – as they go head to head in the divorce case of the century. The show comes from top creator George Kay who also gave us Apple TV+ thriller Hijack with Idris Elba, and the global hit Lupin, on Netflix. Similarly, War will air around the globe, but only on Sky here in the UK. TODAY'S line-up at the Edinburgh TV Festival will be the highlight of the four-day event, featuring interviews with the big bosses from Sky, ITV and the BBC. Plus there will be the announcement of the festival's annual awards, hosted by comedian Nick Mohammed.

Mysterious blue brain found in autopsy linked to RFK Jr's 'miracle cure'
A substance touted by health secretary Robert F Kennedy Jr as a 'miracle cure-all' has been found to dramatically change the color of internal organs, according to a new study. Researchers at University Hospital Frankfurt in Germany examined the bodies of 11 people and discovered that methylene blue, a synthetic dye long used to treat conditions like malaria and methemoglobinemia. Methylene blue may also help combat other health problems, including urinary tract infections and depression, experts have said. During the autopsies, researchers discovered that the brains, hearts, lungs, and pancreases had turned a striking shade of blue. Even small doses, as little as 25 milligrams, roughly a quarter of a standard aspirin tablet, were enough to alter brain pigment, the team concluded. Some individuals had received 50 to 200 milligrams intravenously for medical conditions, with multiple doses given within 10 hours of death, and all showed discoloration of the brain and heart. The researchers emphasized that while the color changes darkened upon exposure to air during autopsies, the effect was not linked to the causes of death. Instead, it highlights how methylene blue persists in the body and can dramatically affect organ appearance, raising questions for forensic and medical examinations. The individuals who received methylene blue in the hospital were generally being treated for severe medical conditions, often involving life-threatening shock or critical illnesses. Most were in intensive care units (ICUs) for issues like septic shock from infections, heart failure, complications following surgeries, or severe COVID-19 infections. Hospital staff administered the dye intravenously as a last-resort treatment to improve blood flow and oxygen delivery when standard treatments failed. The startling discovery, published in the journal Forensic Science, Medicine and Pathology, was made while researchers were conducting an autopsy on a 72-year-old man and found his brain was blue. To understand why, they searched their institute's database of 15,820 autopsy records from 2000 to 2023, looking for similar cases of doctors finding 'blue-green,' 'greenish,' or 'turquoise' organs during autopsies. They found 11 cases, including the 72-year-old, where various organs throughout the body had this unusual color. In each case, they found that six of these individuals with blue organs had ingested or been given a dosage of methylene blue shortly before their deaths. The other five had received or ingested a medical dye called toluidine blue, a sedative called Rohypnol that contains the blue dye indigocarmine, or a cleaning agent with the blue dye Brilliant Blue FCF. Study authors in Germany found 6 people who received dosages of methylene blue while in the hospital had blue brains and hearts after death The patients had taken the medical dye as a last resort treatment for various illnesses, including COVID-19 Although RFK Jr has not publicly confirmed that he uses methylene blue, a February 2025 video showed the health secretary putting droplets of a cobalt-blue liquid into what looked like water. Recent studies have explored its use in fighting early-stage COVID-19 by potentially reducing viral damage and improving oxygen delivery. It's also been investigated for its ability to boost brain health, treat shock, and potentially as an anti-aging serum. Some research has even suggested it can kill cancer cells under specific conditions. In fact, actor Mel Gibson claimed three of his friends recovered from stage four cancer after taking a supplement regimen that included methylene blue. In fact, actor Mel Gibson claimed three of his friends recovered from stage four cancer after taking a supplement regimen that included methylene blue. The Daily Mail has requested a comment from RFK Jr and the Department of Health and Human Services about the findings and is awaiting a response. While medical professionals only use the dye in extreme cases, methylene blue has taken over TikTok and Instagram with claims it can sharpen focus and boost mood. Methylene blue is FDA approved to treat the rare blood disorder methemoglobinemia, though it has also been used off label for anti-aging and cancer Influencers have dubbed it 'brain fuel' and a 'limitless pill,' with some studies claiming it can also alleviate mental health issues. However, neuroscientist Anne-Sophie Fluri told the Daily Mail in June that many of the supposed benefits being promoted online are based on preliminary research using rodents or petri dishes, not conclusive human clinical trials. The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued a public safety warning about methylene blue's potential to cause serotonin syndrome when combined with common antidepressants like Prozac, Zoloft, or Cymbalta. Serotonin syndrome is a dangerous condition caused by too much serotonin in the body, leading to symptoms like confusion, high fever, seizures, and, in rare cases, death. Methylene blue can trigger this syndrome when taken with antidepressants because it blocks an enzyme that normally breaks down serotonin, causing a harmful buildup.
