Riker BrothersAs Brett Young and his wife Taylor prepare for the arrival of their second little one this summer, their older daughter Presley is just past the one-year mark, having celebrated her birthday on October 21.
While Brett says she’s definitely a mama’s girl, he sees shades of her dad as well.
“I watched Taylor immediately take to motherhood,” he reflects, “and so there’s been this connection with her and Presley since Presley was born. So I feel like just because of their immediate connection, she’s probably drawing more from her mom.”
“But unfortunately for both of them, I think there’s a little more of my kind of strong-willed personality in there,” he grins.
The California native goes on to illustrate exactly what he means.
“She has a thing now where when she wants something, she just points at it and grunts,” he explains. “And I’m like, ‘That’s kind of how I treat food.’ So I think she got that one from me.”
“So I think, you know, in terms of learning, she’s still in that early stage with Mom, where she’s spending more time with Mom and she’s probably learning more new things from Mom. But I think genetically, she might have got a little more of Dad, which could suck for everybody,” he laughs. “But we’re keeping our fingers crossed.”
Both Presley and Taylor are immortalized in Brett’s latest hit, “Lady,” which is closing in on country’s top fifteen.
ABC/Billy Kidd, ABC/Craig Sjodin(LOS ANGELES) — The highly dramatic season of The Bachelor continues Monday but series’ star Matt James found himself in hot water after a friend was recorded disparaging contestant Victoria Larson’s body at a recent golf outing.
Posted to the account BachelorNation.Scoop, the clip shows one of the Bachelor’s friends, Jerry, teasing Matt as he tees up a shot, “Now how was Victoria’s body? Cause when I look at her, it doesn’t look very nice.”
While Matt doesn’t laugh at the low blow, he doesn’t reprimand Jerry, either, which enraged fans and demanded he apologize to the controversial contestant.
In addition, Victoria slid into the comment section and cracked with a smiley face, “Cute… I love my body.”
Matt addressed the controversy Wednesday on The Real and apologized for not immediately correcting his friend’s behavior.
“That is never something I condone or stand for,” explained Matt, 29. “It’s just a constant reminder that you need to be smart about the people you surround yourself with.”
He continued, “And those moments when you’re in sports and people are trying to say things to you to throw things off your game, it’s sad that someone would think saying something like that about a woman that I was dating would deter me from what I was trying to do.”
He also said the clip left out an important interaction that he had with Jerry after those derogatory comments were made.
“I said something to him off-camera about it. Something along the lines of, ‘Victoria wouldn’t have given him a second look,'” he revealed.
“That’s not my character and that’s not what I’m about,” continued Matt. “I apologize on his behalf. I don’t know if you’ll get it from him, but that’s not something I support or stand for.”
(GREENSBORO, N.C.) — A health care worker who lost everything in a fire is now thanking her hospital colleagues for helping her family during these hard times.
Amanda Rhoney, a nursing assistant and secretary in Wesley Long Hospital’s emergency department in Greensboro, North Carolina, was working the evening of Jan. 24 when her 10-year-old daughter Gentry called her with devastating news.
“All I could hear on the other line was her screaming that the house was on fire,” Rhoney told “Good Morning America.” “She kept saying, ‘He’s trapped in there.’ … She was talking about one of the dogs that my husband was trying to get out. My mind went to the worst possible place thinking that my husband was trapped.”
Rhoney said her husband Michael, a military veteran, was making dinner on the grill for himself, Gentry and son Mychal, 6, when the propane tank apparently caught fire, engulfing their home in flames.
No one was injured in the fire, though one of the family’s two dogs did lose consciousness from smoke inhalation. The husky recovered after Thomasville Fire and Rescue administered oxygen to the pup, Rhoney said.
“This lucky pup will live to see another day thanks to the quick work of our firefighters during a structure fire tonight,” the fire department wrote in a Facebook post about Rhoney’s dog.
Rhoney said everything was lost in the blaze including household items, school supplies and clothing. She and her family are now staying at a hotel.
Rhoney posted an update for her concerned colleagues in a private Facebook group and Joy Ingram, an emergency medical technician, stepped in.
Ingram, who’s worked with Rhoney for roughly a decade, told “GMA” that she was on the same shift with Rhoney when the call came in about the house fire.
“In the middle of a pandemic this girl has been working so hard and she actually had COVID and recovered from that. … Then [to] have her house completely destroyed, my heart went out,” Ingram said. “Everybody’s hearts went out.”
Ingram started collecting donations via GoFundMe, and also asked for people to drop clothing or household items at the hospital’s emergency department.
“They’re starting from scratch,” Ingram said. “Amanda will give you the shirt off of her back. She will do anything for you within her means and if she can’t do it, she will find someone that can. She herself has a giving heart and as a coworker she’s just phenomenal.”
Rhoney said the generosity from her hospital family and the community has been positively overwhelming.
“It’s definitely made it a whole lot easier to process,” she added. “Just a huge thank you to everyone who donated and who called to check on us.”
The Rhoneys also expect to receive help from Off-Road Outreach — an organization created to assist displaced veterans like Michael Rhoney and his family.
FOX/Guy D’Alema(LOS ANGELES) — Actor Morris Chestnut plays arrogant, and unethical neurosurgeon Dr. Barrett Cain on Fox’s The Resident, and he’s so good at the smarm that the affable actor says he’s now getting confronted by fans.
“When people come up to me about this show, I know they’re really watching because they come up to me and [say], ‘Oooh, I can’t stand your character. Why did you lie to those people?’ Yeah, they admonish me,” he laughed on a recent episode of PeopleTV’s Couch Surfing.
“It’s kind of like being able to play the villain, something that people don’t really expect from me.”
However, just as the series had been doubling down on Chestnut’s character’s unethical behavior — he tricked a patient into undergoing an unnecessary procedure during the pandemic just to pad the hospital’s bottom line, endangering the man’s life — the producers threw fans a curveball.
Tuesday night’s episode showed Chestnut’s character doing something selfless for a change — pulling a woman from a burning car — only to see him struck by a car and seriously injured, meaning the staff of Chastain Memorial has to save the career, and the life, of a guy we’ve all come to love to hate.
Executive producer Andrew Chapman tells PeopleTV partner Entertainment Weekly, “…[H]e’s arrogant and a bad guy, but yet at the same time he’s only human. So even if Cain survives the accident, would he change his core personality? Would he ever become a good guy? That’s more iffy.”
