Listen to “Showbiz – Aug 8, 2023” on Spreaker.

 

Country Music Stars News — Luke Bryan was forced to cancel 3 shows over the weekend. He explained on X — FKA Twitter — that he’d been battling a head cold for the past couple weeks. Up until this weekend, Luke would do his vocal warmups and manage to get through his shows, but without proper rest, his cold was getting worse and now he’s lost his voice. So now, under doctors orders, he simply has to stop and rest. His wife is probably shouting hallelujah because just a couple months ago, Luke told Entertainment Tonight that he’s struggling to balance his family and career obligations, and promised his wife a tropical vacation when the stress of this year is over. Meantime, for the 11th straight year, Luke’s good friend Carrie Underwood — aren’t all country superstars good friends? — will be back singing the opening theme song for “Sunday Night Football.” Her latest interpretation “Waiting All Day for Sunday Night” will debut Sept. 10 when the Dallas Cowboys take on the New York Giants.

Injured Celebrity Roundup — If you were wondering why Kim Kardashian hasn’t been posting any gym videos lately, it’s because she had to take a few weeks off to nurse her broken shoulder! Kim didn’t say how she did it, but not only did she break her shoulder, she also tore the tendon. Kim posted a video of her getting back in the video to start rehabbing. She also took the opportunity to promote her new Alani by Kim K energy drink, aka Kimade. Our other injured celebrity is Rebel Wilson, who opted not to use a stunt double on the set of her upcoming movie “Bride Hard.” She posted a selfie showing her busted nose, captioning it, “NOT the way I wanted to end this movie. Three stitches and in hospital last night after a stunt accident at 4 am.” Like Kim, Rebel didn’t reveal exactly how she injured herself.

Last week I told you that MrBeast was suing to end his business partnership with Virtual Dining Concepts. This is the ghost kitchen company that operates MrBeast’s virtual restaurant chain, MrBeast Burger. MrBeast said his business partners were more concerned about growing the company quickly that they forgot to make a good burger. His customers were NOT happy, calling the food disgusting, revolting and inedible. Because its HIS reputation on the line, MrBeast wants out, so he sued to terminate their partnership. Now Virtual Dining Concepts has turned around and filed their own lawsuit against MrBeast. They say the only reason MrBeast is suing is because he wanted to renegotiate their deal, giving MrBeast more ownership of the brand. Because they wouldn’t agree, MrBeast sued to end the agreement. Because of all his bad-mouthing, Virtual Dining Concepts says MrBeast has ruined relationships with customers, vendors and supplier, affecting bottom lines of hundreds of restaurants around the world! And Virtual Dining Concepts believes they deserve over $100M in damages. Their lawsuit filing states, “This case is about a social media celebrity who believes his fame means that his word does not matter, that the facts do not matter, and that he can renege and breach his contractual obligations without consequence. He is mistaken.”

Sandra Bullock’s longtime boyfriend Bryan Randall lost his 3-year battle with ALS on Saturday. He was 57. His family made the announcement yesterday, saying, that Bryan chose to deal with this privately and they did their best to honor that. In fact, the last time Sandra and Bryan were seen publicly was in July 2020, which must’ve been around the time he was diagnosed. Her sister posted that Sandra was by his side the entire time. She posted yesterday, “ALS is a cruel disease but there is some comfort in knowing he had the best of caretakers in my amazing sister and the band of nurses she assembled who helped her look after him in their home. Rest in peace, Bryan.” Sandra met Bryan in January 2015, when she hired him to photograph her son Louis’ birthday party. In December 2021, as a guest on “Red Table Talk,” Sandra called Randall the love of her life, saying she didn’t “need a paper to be a devoted partner, devoted mother.” She said, “I don’t need to be told to be ever-present in the hardest of times. I don’t need to be told to weather a storm with a good man.”

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have lined up their next project. Their production company Archewell Products has secured the rights to the book Meet Me at the Lake, which will be adapted for a Netflix film. The deal is rumored to cost almost $4M, but the interesting thing is, Harry and Meghan didn’t write that check. Netflix reportedly bought the rights for them to produce it. Apparently, the couple believes there’re are a lot of similarities between them and the main characters in this book. Meet Me at the Lake is about a couple win their 30s dealing with childhood trauma and mental health issues. A source told Page Six Meghan’s not interested in directing or acting in this project. She’s all about producing. One source who knows the couple told Page Six Meghan aspires to be a combination of famous women — “A bit of Reese, a bit of Gwyneth, a bit of Princess Kate, a bit of Gloria Steinem.”
