Donald Trump endorses Kid Rock's new restaurant, calls rocker 'Bob'
The endorsement caught the attention of Rock, whose real name is Robert James Richie. "Thank you, Mr. President," Kid Rock responded on X. The musician, who lives in Nashville, also owns a bar and steakhouse on Lower Broadway along Nashville's famous honkytonk row. Trump and Kid Rock's relationship Self-professed fans of one another, the president and Rock have been pals for years. Prior to Trump taking office, Rock was among the guests attending a fundraiser for the president in Nashville and after an attempted assassination on Trump, Rock topped the donor list for GoFundMe benefitting victims of the Trump rally shooting. More recently, Trump signed an executive order alongside Rock that addresses ticket scalping. Aimed at protecting fans from "exploitative ticket scalping" and reforming the U.S. live entertainment ticketing industry, the order directs appointed leaders to ensure ticket scalpers comply with the Internal Revenue Service's tax collections and other applicable law. It also directs the Federal Trade Commission to work with the attorney general to ensure that competition laws are enforced in the concert and entertainment industry.

"The Detroit Cowboy is the only place on earth where Detroit grit and Nashville swagger collide for the finest dining hangout," Rock said in a statement. "The Vicaris and Joe Muer know fine dining, I know how to hang pictures, create a vibe and make things fun all while still holding two middle fingers up high for the haters. To put it simply, I am here to take the foo-foo out of fine dining." When does Kid Rock's new restaurant open? The Detroit Cowboy opened in May, but the grand opening is set for June 3.

Outlander star Caitriona Balfe makes admission about Claire Fraser's parents in prequel
Outlander actress Caitríona Balfe opened up about the prequel Outlander: Blood of My Blood teased in trailer Outlander actress Caitríona Balfe has divulged a lovely anecdote about the runaway success of the Starz series, reports the Scottish Daily Express. The Irish sensation commented: "I mean, I did not start the show thinking I would ever meet my parents." She further revealed her excitement about the prequel developments, saying, "I didn't know that these guys were going to be part of the prequel and I was super excited when I found out they were because I think I was like, 'Oh great, like it's really cool that Claire's parents are in the show.'". Balfe also shared, "I don't remember what my vision of them in my head was. But when I saw these guys a week ago, I was like, 'It's really cool. It's really awesome.'". These revelations came during a Q&A session with cast members from Outlander: Blood of My Blood—Jeremy Irvine and Hermione Corfield—who bring life to Balfe's onscreen parents, Henry Beauchamp and Julia Moriston. Upon meeting the pair from Blood of My Blood, Balfe expressed, "Having met Hermione and Jeremy, I'm like they are definitely fitting parents." Admirers of Outlander have already observed the notable likeness between Balfe and Corfield, who are cast as daughter and mother characters. In reflection of her pivotal role on the show, Balfe disclosed: "I think Diana created the most incredible character in Claire. She is incredibly strong-willed. She has an innate sense of justice. She will fight for that justice." Balfe adds depth to her portrayal of Claire by stating, "She doesn't take slights lightly. But she lives and loves with incredible passion." Regarding her fictional lineage, Balfe mused, "She fights fiercely and she loves fiercely. And I don't know which one of my parents she got it from." The conversation then turned to the serendipitous romance that blossomed between Henry and Julia under rather extraordinary conditions. Corfield divulged: "So I'm working in a redaction office. You [Henry] write a letter that's sort of saying, 'All is lost and I'm in a horrible place and if anyone read this, I need help.'". Elaborating further, she added: "And then I write back and then we start writing." Irvine described his character's emotions, saying: "There's a poetic nature of Julia's letters. He really finds solace in the romance. In a very dark place, he finds this little ray of hope and this light and he really sort of clings onto that." 'Outlander: Blood of My Blood' is set to delve into the backgrounds of Claire's parents, Henry and Julia, who have so far been cloaked in enigma within the narrative, unlike Jamie Fraser's (played by Sam Heughan) parents. Devoted followers are on the brink of uncovering truths about Henry and Julia, whose lives were truncated by a car crash, leaving Claire an orphan during her childhood years. Following the tragedy, Claire found a new home with her Uncle Quentin 'Lamb' Lambert, enacted by George Kemp in Outlander: Blood of My Blood. Operating without the framework of an existing book, the prequel series afforded its writers significant creative freedom to craft the storyline. Additionally, the show promises to captivate newcomers unfamiliar with Outlander as well as satisfy the intrigue of long-standing watchers, presenting elements to appeal to both camps.

So are yoga enthusiasts smug, or what?
Alternatively, you can go there and jealously glare at other people honing their bodies, while you crumple into a sweaty mass at the foot of the running machine, after jogging on it for precisely seven seconds. Reader Susan Wood was recovering from just such an epic jog when she overheard two nearby women chatting about maintaining a healthy body and mind. Said one to the other: 'I've started yoga and meditation classes.' 'Why d'you wanna do that?' inquired the friend. 'I've always been spiritual,' explained the first lady. 'You know, seeking the path to entitlement.' 'Do you mean the path to enlightenment?' said the friend. 'Oh, yes,' came the reply. 'That, too.' Money matters Overheard in a pub by reader William Marshall: Bloke One: Besides money, what else makes you happy? Bloke Two (after long consideration): More money. Musical master mauled Legendary folk troubadour Bob Dylan is not to everyone's liking, though reader Jack Wilson is a huge fan. The other day Jack was chatting to pals about his love for the protest singer when one of the chaps sacrilegiously (and rather cruelly) said: 'Dylan? Thought he croaked it yonks ago.' Another of Jack's friends immediately sprang to the defence of His Bobness, and said: 'You've got that wrong. It's his voice that does the croaking. The rest of him is fine.' Gordon Casely isn't sure what a literate Glasgow dog would make of this packet of dog treats. 'Thoroughly negative,' he'd probably conclude. (Image: Contributed) Magical money maker We mentioned that youthful Scottish actor Dominic McLaughlin has bagged the coveted role of Harry Potter in a new TV version of the classic series of fantasy books. Mulling this over, reader Simon Stewart concludes: 'That young fella will be making plenty of dosh as Potter. You could say that he'll be McLaughlin all the way to the bank.' Picture this The teenage son of reader Nicola Carter was collapsed on the couch, showing few signs of life, apart from his thumbs occasionally moving on his mobile phone as he perused his TikTok account. 'Why don't you do something more inspiring with your spare time?' said Nicola. 'Like what?' slurred the surly sofa sloucher. 'Maybe a jigsaw?' suggested Nicola. 'Jigsaw…' echoed the teen in a confused, faraway manner. 'Wow,' he continued, 'I forgot those things even existed. Break up a picture, then put it back together. And you think MY pastimes are pointless.' Musical malady 'I'm addicted to buying old Beatles albums,' admits reader Stuart Campbell. 'Does anyone know where I can get Help?'
