Michael Grimm hospitalized… Kylie Jenner shares videos… 50 Cent reportedly tips $1,000… Morgan Wallen ‘cleared’ by doctors… and Taylor Swift spotted with NBA player Austin Reaves

Listen to “Showbiz – June 7, 2023” on Spreaker.

 

“America’s Got Talent” is currently in the audition rounds of Season 18. But way back in 2010, Michael Grimm won Season 5, taking home the $1M prize and a recording contract. He headlined the very first “America’s Got Talent Tour,” opened for Stevie Nicks, headlined his own world tour, and had a 3-month residency in Las Vegas. In January 2020, Michael returned for “America’s Got Talent: The Champions,” but he was eliminated before making it to the semi-finals. But he dusted himself off and kept on making a living while living out his dream. But things have taken a very grim turn for Michael. His wife said Michael hadn’t been feeling well for a while. He’d been lacking energy and having a tough time finishing performances. He just kept getting sicker and sicker until it got to the point he could no longer lift his head. On Memorial Day, she rushed him to the hospital where doctors put him on a ventilator. Michael’s been unconscious ever since, but his wife said he is finally able to breathe on his own again. The problem is, doctors have no idea what’s wrong with him. As of right now, all of his upcoming shows for the month of June have been canceled, but they have no idea when or if he’ll ever be able to perform again. His wife said that when her husband recovers — as she’s praying he will — he will likely go through intensive physical therapy to recover from being bedridden for so long, as well as vocal therapy to repair the damage done by the ventilator.

Kylie Jenner is nothing if not completely unreliable. To celebrate the launch of a new product coming out, Kylie went on TikTok to do a “what’s in my $4500 Bottega Veneta bag” video. She said this is her go-to favorite bag of all time…the best investment she ever made…and referred to her bag as “she.” Kylie also she hadn’t cleaned out or gone through this bag in a while, so it was just as much a surprise for us as it was for her. First, Kylie pulled out a bottle of Kylie Skin hand sanitizer, sprayed it and immediately started coughing. After composing herself, she pulled out her new product — but said she was going to save it till the end. And then she pulled out a gold Rolex, explaining that it was Stormi’s — which was actually hers before Stormi decided she wanted to wear it, but now she doesn’t want to wear it any more. This looked to be a Rolex Day-Date, which runs about $40K. Kylie went on to pull out so much stuff — mostly products from her own line and a glue roller for scrapbooking — that she ended up making this a 3-parter. We finally found out her new product is tinted lip butter balms, which launch on June 14.

Celebrities make the news when they tip real good, and when they tip real bad….This time, 50 Cent is making news for leaving a $1K tip at a steakhouse in Times Square. He was celebrating a new deal for his Branson Cognac brand and invited a big group of friends to join him, inlcuding DaBaby, some DJs, and actor Woody McClain from “Power Book II: Ghost,” which 50 executive produces. 50 reportedly orders one of everything on the menu, including lobster and ALL the steaks, and kept the party going until the restaurant closed. At the end of the night, 50 left a $1000 tip. Normally, that would sound very generous, but how much was the tab??? On the other hand, country rap artist Jelly Roll hit a Whataburger drive-thru in Dallas and asked the young man working the window how many people were working with him. After he counted off five total, Jelly asked him if he had the Cash App. The guy said, no, but he had Venmo! Jelly said he was going to send this guy $1000, but he had to promise to give all his co-workers $200 each. Jelly posted this all on TikTok, explaining that he does this all the time. This was just the first time he posted it online.

After canceling 6 weeks of tour dates to go on complete vocal rest, Morgan Wallen says doctors have cleared him to talk and sing again. In his Instagram Story, Morgan posted a photo of himself relaxing on a boat, captioning it, “The doc cleared me to talk and sing…we back.” He didn’t say when “he back,” but he does have a concert scheduled for June 22 in Chicago.

Has Taylor Swift already found a new man? Probably not. But after breaking up with Matty Healy, Seventeen says Taylor was spotted at a bar in Arkansas with Lakers baller Austin Reaves. First of all, Taylor was in Chicago all weekend and when she’s not on the road, she’s in New York. Second, Austin’s brother Spencer retweeted a Lakers fan account post that said, “Following her breakup, Taylor Swift was reportedly seen in an Arkansas bar with Lakers basketball player Spencer Reaves,” adding six crying laughing emojis. And third, another person posted a TikTok stating, “Woulda believed this if I didn’t know Austin has had a girlfriend for a while now,” along with a photo montage of Austin and his girlfriend Jenna Barber, who have dated since high school.
