A new WILLIE NELSON mini-series in the works, called "Willie Nelson and Family." Variety reports Willie himself will be adding to the mini-series, which looks at his life and career.
Tube talk: The new 10-episode "Sex and the City" reboot, called “And Just Like That…,” will feature SARAH JESSICA PARKER, CYNTHIA NIXON and KRISTIN DAVIS' characters now in their 50s, as they move on with their friendship and lives --said to be a bit more complicated at this point.
Can't sell it: The NY Post reports MATT LAUER is trying to sell his Hamptons estate in the pricey section of Long Island. And yes, you could buy the 12-bedroom, 12-bathroom home for a mere $43.995 million bucks. Of course, Matt may be looking to make some cash after being fired by NBC in 2017, reportedly for "inappropriate sexual behavior in the workplace." The place, which Matt originally bought from RICHARD GERE, has three lots, a main house and two guest houses as well. The NY Post says there's also a 60-foot heated waterfront pool, rolling lawns and flowering gardens, specimen trees, an outdoor fireplace pavilion, a gym, a basketball court and room for tennis.
COVID Alert: A Huntington Beach, California, restaurant called PASTA E VINO, which has allowed people to enter and dine without masks, now says they're “doubling down” on COVIDIOCY by requiring patrons to PROVE that they haven’t been vaccinated. On their Instagram page, they've posted shots of the signs outside their restaurant, which say "Proof of being UNvaccinated required to enter. “We have zero tolerance for treasonous, anti-American stupidity,” the notice also says. See their page HERE: https://www.instagram.com/explore/locations/655333/basilicos-pasta-e-vino/
Restaurant owner TONY ROMAN wrote an email explaining: “We chose to fire another missile of defiance to further make our point in defense of American liberty and freedom.”
Preggo: PARIS HILTON is expecting her first child with her fiancé, CARTER REUM. The NY Post's Page Six reports Paris --now 40 years old-- had IVF treatments beginning last year, but no wedding date has apparently been set --or, equally as likely, they're keeping it secret. She told the "Trend Reporter" podcast: "We talk about [planning a wedding] all the time and planning our baby’s names and all of that."
Soap operas: actress LISA RINNA will be back (temporarily) on the NBC soap opera “Days of Our Lives” — but only for a limited time. “Billie Reed (her character) is back,” Lisa wrote on Instagram to plug the limited series, “Days of Our Lives: Beyond Salem,” which will run on NBC’s streaming platform, Peacock. Her last appearance on the soap was back in 2018 --three years ago.
Fast food: The folks at Sonic have decided to change their classic cheeseburgers, and will now be serving them with ketchup and mayo between the buns. That is (of course) in addition to the burger, cheese, lettuce, pickles and hand-sliced tomatoes, or, as Sonic puts it: “new and improved.”
