Names to watch in the race to replace U.S. Rep. Mark Green
U.S. Rep. Mark Green's upcoming retirement will trigger a special election and open the flood gates for potential candidates. Why it matters: A U.S. House seat is one of the most desirable jobs in politics. Green's solidly Republican district, which stretches from Clarksville to Williamson County, has a slate of contenders. State of play: One challenger has already thrown his hat in the ring. Matt Van Epps, a former cabinet member for Gov. Bill Lee, immediately announced his candidacy. The intrigue: Nashville is now carved into three congressional districts, and none of its current representatives live in the city. Former Nashville mayoral finalist Alice Rolli tells Axios she's thinking about running. What we're hearing: In addition to Van Epps and Rolli, here are some of the names making the rounds as potential Republican challengers: State lawmakers Bill Powers, Gino Bulso and Jody Barrett and former state Rep. Brandon Ogles are possible candidates. The race could garner some entertainment industry star power if John Rich from the band Big & Rich runs. Conservative operatives Mark Moore, Chris Burger and Brian Clifford are also viewed as possible challengers. The other side: Democrats will be primed to run as well.

Tim McGraw Dueting With Legendary Artist on New Album
Country star is no stranger to collaborating with other artists, but his next duet is with arguably the biggest star yet — the legendary . The EGOT winner — Streisand has won an Emmy, a Grammy, an Oscar and a Tony — announced on Instagram on Wednesday, April 30 that she is gearing up to release a second volume of her The Secret of Life: Partners project, and McGraw is one of the featured artists. "I've always loved singing duets with gifted artists. They inspire me in unique and different ways…and make our time in the studio a joy! My new album, The Secret Of Life: Partners, Volume Two, gave me the chance to work and play with some of my old friends, label mates, and new artists too. I admire all of them… and I hope that you'll enjoy listening to our collaborations as much as I enjoyed recording with all of my wonderful partners," wrote the star of stage and screen. The other artists on the album in addition to McGraw include Hozier, Paul McCartney, Sam Smith, Bob Dylan, Mariah Carey, Laufey, Ariana Grande, James Taylor, Josh Groban, Seal and Sting, so McGraw is definitely in some A-list level company there. This is hardly McGraw's first collaboration. He has previously dueted with Jo Dee Messina, Nelly, Def Leppard, Kenny Chesney, Big & Rich, Florida Georgia Line, Parker McCollum, Tyler Hubbard, Taylor Swift, Keith Urban, Post Malone, Gwyneth Paltrow and, of course, his wife Faith Hill, with whom he has recorded eight songs.

'The Masked Singer' reveals Griffin as star of beloved teen show
Warning: This article contains spoilers for season 13, episode 6, "Group B Finals." Yeehaw! The Masked Singer is going country for Grand Ole Opry Night, but it's sadly the last rodeo for two Group B contestants. This week's episode kicked off with host Nick Cannon moseying on out to round up Boogie Woogie, Griffin, and Pearl for a boot-scootin' group performance of "Save a Horse (Ride a Cowboy)," by Big & Rich, before each would return to take on a solo country hit. Overseeing the night's performances were the usual panelists, Robin Thicke, Jenny McCarthy-Wahlberg, and Ken Jeong, but sitting in for Rita Ora was first-time Masked Singer guest, Happy Endings star, and Saturday Night Live alum Casey Wilson, who proved herself to be a worthy addition to the show. Related: Breaking down The Masked Singer season 13's biggest clues and guesses For the night's first solo, Pearl sang "Here You Come Again," by Dolly Parton, whom the glistening singer teased she had shared the stage with before. After some wild previous guesses, including Jeong thinking Pearl was Madonna, the panel had more reasonable (though obviously swayed by the night's theme) predictions for who could be under the mask. Jeong picked Sheryl Crow this time around, while Wilson thought it was Carrie Underwood, and McCarthy-Wahlberg couldn't decide between Trisha Yearwood and Kellie Pickler. Next up was Griffin, who shared more details about the "really tough year" he'd experienced, saying he'd received news that "changed everything" but was able to face the challenge together with his family in their new home in the country. Fittingly, he sang "Take Me Home, Country Roads," by John Denver. The panel's guesses for Griffin included Kyle Chandler for Thicke, Josh Hartnett for Jeong, and James Van Der Beek for Wilson. Lastly, Boogie Woogie took the stage to lovingly dedicate "Something in the Water," by Carrie Underwood, to his mother, who died a few years ago. After a final clue about the smooth-voiced crooner "hitting a home run" at the World Series, McCarthy-Wahlberg declared, "If this is an athlete, I'm gonna pull my wig off!" But the other panelists were convinced there was a professional musician under the Boogie Woogie mask, with Thicke guessing OneRepublic's Ryan Tedder, Wilson going with Josh Groban, and Jeong emphatically proclaiming it must be his good friend Gavin DeGraw. If there is one thing we've learned from watching 13 seasons of this show, it's that when Jeong is convinced his close friend is on The Masked Singer, that celeb most definitely is not. Related: Celeb revealed as The Masked Singer's Space Ranger thinks he'll be 'first and only' to do a Taylor Swift song Pearl was voted the best of the night and will move on to the later Lucky Six round, while Boogie Woogie and Griffin went mask-to-mask in a Battle Royale to "I Had Some Help," by Post Malone ft. Morgan Wallen. The push-ups Boogie did to prepare seemed to pay off, as he won the round to advance in the competition, joining Pearl, Group A's Coral and Paparazzo, plus two upcoming Group C contestants in the final six. Before it was time to unmask Griffin, we got the return of Lucky Duck. The rascally season 13 detective popped up in the audience to roast the panel for their bad guesses and give an additional clue: All three Group B finalists have a connection to season 6's Banana Split, who was revealed as Katherine McPhee. Before he waddled off, Lucky Duck also provided a hint about himself, saying, "Casey, good to see you again. Here's a clue about my famous identity: We were in a historic TV series together." The panel thought it could refer to SNL, while Wilson noted she'd also been on Drunk History. On to the unmasking! Cannon provided a final clue for the eliminated contestant: a football, which Griffin called "a big part of my career." The panelists each thought this confirmed their previous guess, so Thicke stuck to Friday Night Lights star Chandler, Wilson with Varsity Blues star Van Der Beek, and Jeong to former high school football player Hartnett, while McCarthy-Wahlberg named Chad Michael Murray, who played a football star in A Cinderella Story. Related: The Masked Singer season 13 reveals: See every unmasked celebrity contestant so far Turned out Wilson was right in her very first guess on The Masked Singer, as Griffin was revealed to be Dawson's Creek star James Van Der Beek! He follows in the footsteps of the iconic teen show's "I Don't Want to Wait" theme song singer, Paula Cole, who was revealed as Ship last season. Here's hoping Wilson brings her expertise back soon! Until then, next week will be the Group C premiere, introducing a new batch of contestants: Cherry Blossom, Mad Scientist Monster, Nessy, Stud Muffin, and Yorkie. The Masked Singer airs Wednesdays at 8 p.m. ET/PT on Fox. Read the original article on Entertainment Weekly
