• No Comments • Entertainment News

Stuart Cahill/MediaNews Group/Boston Herald via Getty Image(LOS ANGELES) — Lori Loughlin was photographed for the first time since her release from prison in December, fulfilling her court-ordered community service

Photos obtained by the New York Post show Loughlin, dressed in jeans, a baseball cap, a sweatshirt and jeans handing out meals for Project Angel Food, an organization that prepares and delivers food to those impacted by life-threatening illnesses.

Loughlin, 56, and her husband, 57-year-old fashion designer Mossimo Giannulli, pleaded guilty last year to conspiracy charges after they were accused of paying $500,000 to get their two daughters into the University of Southern California as crew recruits. However, neither Isabella Rose Giannulli, now 22, nor Olivia Jade Giannulli, now 21, had ever rowed competitively.

Loughlin agreed to serve two months behind bars, perform 100 hours of community service and pay a $150,000 fine.

Giannulli began serving his five-month sentence at the Federal Correctional Institution, Lompoc, in Southern California in November and is scheduled for release in April.

ABCJason Aldean, Blake Shelton, Dierks Bentley, Florida Georgia Line: What do all these country stars have in common? They’ve all got their own bars on downtown Nashville’s buzzing Broadway strip.  Now, Miranda Lambert is joining their ranks.

The “Bluebird” star will become the first female country performer to have her own little Nashville hotspot, according to the Nashville Business Journal. Called Casa Rosa — which means Pink House — the place will open this year at 308 Broadway, in a 17,400 square foot building that is already outfitted as a bar/restaurant space.

Per the Nashville Business Journal, permits show that Casa Rosa is undergoing some renovations, with a mezzanine and two restrooms being added to its second floor.

Located right in the heart of all the Broadway action, the building is across the street from Jason Aldean’s Kitchen + Rooftop Bar and a block or so from Dierks Bentley’s Whiskey Row.

Miranda partnered with TC Restaurant Group to open her new hot spot. The dining and entertainment company is also responsible for Luke Bryan’s 32 Bridge, Florida Georgia Line’s FGL House and more celebrity bars.

The news comes at the end of a busy week for Miranda: She recently shared her collaboration with rocker Elle King, “Drunk (and I Don’t Wanna Go Home).”

Reba McEntire to star in and produce a Lifetime music-themed holiday film

• No Comments • Country Music News

ABC/Image Group LAWhile Christmas 2021 may seem like it’s far in the future, Reba McEntire’s already cooking up her holiday plans. This spring, she’ll begin filming a music-themed holiday movie for Lifetime called Christmas in Tune, according to ET Online.

Christmas in Tune will be a part of the channel’s annual “It’s a Wonderful Lifetime” holiday lineup. In addition to acting in and producing the movie, Reba will also contribute an original holiday song to the film.

“I am thrilled to partner with Lifetime for a return to television movies!” says Reba, who’s no stranger to TV and has an extensive acting resume under her belt. “My fans and I enjoy their programming and loved watching the Reba show there for so many years.”

The plot of the new movie follows a woman named Belle, a marketing executive concerned about her job’s security.  She tries to get her parents — who formerly together worked as a singing duo — to reunite for a charity Christmas concert. The catch? Her parents have been feuding for years, and aren’t planning to start speaking to each other again anytime soon.

But of course, along the way, Belle finds the answers to her own problems, and even starts a new romance with an intriguing leading man.

Prior to the announcement of her new holiday movie, Reba had a small but memorable cameo in Kristin Wiig and Annie Mumolo’s new comedy, Barb & Star Go to Vista Del Mar.

During a new episode of her podcast Good For You, the 38-year-old comedian let her guest, super-influencer Hannah Stocking, tattoo the phrase “I [heart] J” on her foot, with the heart being the actual shape.

“There’s nothing I won’t do for a laugh. I’m fully getting an ‘I love Jennifer Aniston’ tattoo,” Cummings joked. “This is so dumb, and I’m so into it…Jen’s gonna see this.”

Whitney has been friends with Jennifer, 52, for years and attended the actress’ wedding to ex Justin Theroux in 2015.
