Farm Aid 40 — a full day of music, family farmers, Homegrown food and agricultural experiences — will feature performances by Farm Aid board members Willie Nelson, Neil Young (and the Chrome Hearts), John Mellencamp, Dave Matthews (with Tim Reynolds), and Margo Price, as well as Billy Strings, Nathaniel Rateliff & the Night Sweats, Trampled by Turtles, Waxahatchee, Eric Burton of Black Pumas, Jesse Welles, Madeline Edwards and more artists to be announced.

Since the 1980s, Minnesota has offered a groundswell of strength in the farm movement, championing rural advocacy, sustainable and equitable agriculture, and forward-thinking policy reform. Farm Aid President Willie Nelson says Minnesota is an ideal host as Farm Aid commemorates this milestone anniversary.

The Recording Academy and Grammy Museum held the second-ever Grammy Hall of Fame Gala at the Beverly Hilton Friday night, where iconic recordings including Cat Stevens’ Tea for the Tillerman, Santana’s Supernatural and Jay-Z’s Reasonable Doubt and Gloria Estefan and Miami Sound Machine’s “Conga” were all officially inducted, while John Mellencamp, John Batiste, Conan Gray and Emmylou Harris were among the night’s performers.

Mellencamp and Gray performed as a tribute to Republic Records, which was selected as this year‘s label honoree for the event.

“They told me not to say anything about politics, so I won’t say anything about how terribly the country’s being run,” Mellencamp quipped to cheers and applause as he took the stage toward the end of the evening, before performing his 1985 song “Small Town.”

Mellencamp also performed “Longest Days” before finishing with his classic “Jack and Diane,” teasing the...

Legendary singers Steve Perry and Willie Nelson have joined forces on a new version of Journey’s 1983 classic “Faithfully,” with proceeds benefitting Farm Aid in celebration of the annual concert and nonprofit organization’s 40th anniversary.

“No one has a voice or vocal phrasing anything like Willie Nelson,” stated Perry. “Singing this duet with Willie has been something I’ve always wanted to do. After recording ‘Faithfully’ with Journey, I always felt it would be a great song for Willie too. What a wonderful experience it was to finally sing with Willie. I’m so proud of what we have accomplished together.”

Nelson added, “Working with Steve Perry on ‘Faithfully’ was a meaningful experience. It was a pleasure to collaborate on this song.

Willie Nelson, Neil Young, and John Mellencamp have announced the details for Farm Aid 2025, which is moving to Minneapolis for its 40th anniversary edition. The charity concert is set for Saturday, September 20th at Huntington Bank Stadium.

Rumor around the block is that Erika Jayne, one of the oldest housewives in The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, can be demoted from her prominent position to a mere friend in Season 15. While the veracity of the speculation remains to be established, the 53-year-old remains unbothered.

So much so that she has even decided to direct her energy to play cupid to John Mellencamp, legendary rocker, and father to her friend, Teddi Mellencamp Arroyave. While having a candid chat on their podcast Diamonds in the Rough, which Jayne co-hosts with Arroyave, 43, the Bravolebrity put forward her opinion regarding who Mellencamp should date next.

In an episode of Nightline, Mellencamp shared new details of her health condition.

Mellencamp, 43, explained that she is presently undergoing immunotherapy and doing her best not to think in terms of her odds. She said, “I learned this isn’t the best question to ask if you’re doing immunotherapy because immunotherapy has only been around 10 years.”

She continued, “It’s one of my favorite things to ask: ‘How long I got? What are my chances?’ And they oftentimes say 50/50.” She recalled her response: “’50/50? I wouldn...

Teddi Mellencamp, daughter of musician John Mellencamp and former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star, has revealed that her father is already making arrangements for her burial in the family mausoleum in Indiana as she continues her fight against stage 4 melanoma.

Teddi recently declared that she feels like she’s “on her deathbed.”

On a recent episode of her podcast Two T’s In A Pod, the 43-year-old reality star shared details of a conversation with her father, who called her multiple times to discuss the matter. “He goes, ‘I just want to make sure you’re going to be in our group family mausoleum,’” Teddi recounted, noting that the discussion was approached with their characteristic dark humor.

Teddi, who has three children—Slate, 12, Cruz, 10, and Dove, 5—with estranged husband Edwin Arroyave, inquired about space for her kids in the mausoleum. John assured her that arrangements were being made for the entire family.

Teddi Mellencamp got her dark sense of humor from her famous dad, John Mellencamp.

However, did he go too far during a conversation with his cancer-ridden daughter?

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum is coming to her father’s defense after she shared a recent interaction.

Teddi was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer, and doctors found four more tumors in her brain after she underwent brain surgery.

Meanwhile, her dad recently called to discuss her being buried in their family mausoleum.

That didn’t sit well with some of her Two Ts in a Pod listeners, who felt the conversation was too dark.

Several media outlets also ran with the story, and Teddi later took to social media to clarify that her dad meant well.

Neil Young has announced plans to play a free concert in Ukraine to kick off the European leg of the Love Earth tour.

Young will be performing across Europe, Canada, and the US, with his band, The Chrome Hearts, who he introduced last year at Farm Aid, the annual benefit concert for American farmers. The rocker co-founded Farm Aid with Willie Nelson and John Mellencamp in 1985 in a bid to help US family farmers who were at risk of foreclosure, and concerts have since included sourcing locally produced products into the concert ecosystem, boosting the local economies while reducing waste.

The exact plans for the free concert have not yet been set, but it will be Young’s first time playing in Ukraine. He has been a vocal backer of the war-torn country since Russian President Putin first began the invasion in 2022.

Attention, MTV Generation, your ship has come in! Paramount+ is opening the floodgates to bring classic episodes of MTV Unplugged, VH1 Storytellers, and CMT Crossroads to the streaming platform. Over 50 episodes of MTV Unplugged were recently added, and there are dozens of episodes of VH1 Storytellers and CMT Crossroads to experience and explore.

According to Paramount+, many episodes “haven’t been available in 20+ years.” The MTV Unplugged offerings alone are a reason to consider getting a Paramount+ subscription, with iconic performances from bands like Nirvana, Alice in Chains, Tori Amos, Staind, Korn, The Cranberries, Aerosmith, Alicia Keys, Duran Duran, and more up for grabs. MTV Unplugged is a legendary series of performances in unique and intimate settings, typically with acoustic versions of classic songs performed for the first time.

Paramount+ is ready to rock — and they've released over 125 episodes of musical performances to its streaming service to prove it. Coming at you from the other Viacom-owned properties like MTV Unplugged, VH1 Storytellers, and CMT Crossroads, many of the episodes haven't been seen since they first aired. And with a list of performances that includes the likes of Elton John, Neil Young, Mariah Carey, Pearl Jam, Bob Dylan, and even Nirvana's now-iconic November 1993 performance — which aired a mere seven months before the singer Kurt Cobain died — the list is a treasure trove for any music fan.

According to a press release from the streamer, more than 70 of the episodes have not been available to the public for more than 20 years. And, considering how much purging of content Paramount Global has done over the years, it's a relief to see that some things still get saved in the digital age.

Paramount+ has opened up its vault of classic MTV Unplugged episodes. Over 50 episodes of the live performance series have been added to the streamer, alongside dozens more episodes of VH1 Storytellers and CMT Crossroads.

According to a press release, many of the episodes “haven’t been available in 20+ years.” Coming from Seasons 1-8 and 10-13, the MTV Unplugged episodes include iconic performances from Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Paul McCartney, Oasis, R.E.M., Alanis Morissette, Alice in Chains, and Bob Dylan.

Meanwhile, the VH1 Storytellers episodes are taken from Seasons 1-9, 11-13,15, and 16, featuring standouts like David Bowie, Bruce Springsteen, Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers, Alicia Keys, and Elton John.

With her quirky personality and perky smile, Meg Ryan reigned as queen of romantic comedies for over two decades after stumbling onto an acting career during her college years. Over the past 30 years, the blond-haired, blue-eyed actress has carved out a diverse and successful career, making her one of the most popular actresses of her time.

Ryan was born November 19, 1961, in Fairfield, Connecticut. After graduating high school, she majored in journalism at New York University, and began acting to earn extra money, adopting the name Meg Ryan (taken from her grandmother’s maiden name). Following appearances in TV commercials and her film debut in George Cukor‘s final film “Rich and Famous,” Ryan gained fame as half of one of the most popular soap opera super couples with her portrayal of Betsy Stewart Montgomery on “As the World Turns” from 1982-1984. Her successes led her to drop out of college...

This past summer, Sammy Hagar featured an all-star backing band of Joe Satriani (guitar), Michael Anthony (bass), and Jason Bonham (drums) as part of his “Best of All Worlds” tour focusing heavily on Van Halen material. Now, the Red Rocker is moving on without Bonham, replacing him with another renowned drummer, Kenny Aronoff.

Aronoff actually filled in for Bonham on the last four dates of the tour, when the son of late Led Zeppelin legend John Bonham had to drop off the outing to be with his ailing mother. According to Jason, the switch has become permanent.

Real Housewives of Beverly Hills fans always felt that Teddi Mellencamp was boring with no good story to bring to the Bravo table. But, she is in the headlines now for allegedly cheating with the husband of a pregnant woman. Read on to find out more.

Rhobh Alum Teddi Mellencamp Files For Divorce From Edwin Arroyave

When Mellencamp announced that she was divorcing Edwin Arroyave, she talked about her kids and how she was being transparent to protect them. Well, it seems as if the Bravo alum didn’t care much about other people’s kids if sources bring some truthful light to the situation.

Recently, Bravo fans turned on Kelly Dodd for wishing that Teddi Mellencamp would lose custody of her children. At the time, she took a lot of heat for it. But with new information surfacing, perhaps The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills fans can understand why she said that.

There is no actor that defines late '80s and '90s romantic comedies more than Meg Ryan. Her irrefutable movie star magnetism, combined with an incongruous sense of relatability, gave her an alluring aura that lent an undeniable "America's Sweetheart" charm to the films in which she starred. From 1989's "When Harry met Sally" to 1993's "Sleepless in Seattle" and 1998's "You Got Mail" — which remains dated in the most fun way possible — Meg Ryan was essentially the face of rom-coms for well over a decade, and deservedly so.

But Ryan wasn't only known for romancing Tom Hanks. Though the actor became synonymous with romantic comedies following "When Harry met Sally" (still one of the best Meg Ryan movies), she also starred in a wide variety of Hollywood fare, from her small role in 1986's "Top Gun" to playing Jim Morrison's girlfriend, Pamela Courson, in Oliver Stone's...

Unfortunately for some fans, Willie Nelson was unable to perform at a handful of dates over the summer. His team didn’t give a reason except to say that he was having some health issues. At 91, that’s not a surprise, but fans were terrified the worst would happen.

Hud placed second to Adam Christoferson, who was Michael Bolton's nephew, after a season of scheming and figuring out clues to his fellow contestants' identities. Although Hud came in second in Claim to Fame season 3 after Adam guessed his true identity, he gained something even better than the $100,000 grand prize: a possible romance with Mackenzie Adkins, who was revealed to be Trace Adkins' daughter.

In a food landscape largely controlled by corporations, Farm Aid 2024 showcased farmers who are creating community-based food systems that improve food access and quality, boost farmer income and local economies, and promote healthier soil and water.

At the sold-out event at Broadview Stage at Saratoga Performing Arts Center, a diverse group of farmers and food producers shared the ways they work in their communities to develop a more democratic farm and food system that is healthy, safe, equitable and accessible. What they say they need is more support from our country’s eaters, as well as from our elected representatives in local, state and federal government.

Farm Aid's leadership and artist board members Willie Nelson, John Mellencamp, Neil Young, Dave Matthews and Margo Price highlighted the resilience and generosity of these producers, calling on the country to harness our collective strength to counter corporate dominance in our food system.

The Reagan actor was recently interviewed on Who’s Talking to Chris Wallace?, where host Chris Wallace asked him if being in the spotlight — and being labeled one of “Hollywood’s golden couples” — impacted their relationship. The pair were married from 1991 to 2001.

Hosted by Kevin and Franklin Jonas, Claim to Fame features a group of celebrity relatives competing for a $100,000 grand prize.

The Claim to Fame season 3 finale was not without its share of drama and even more twists as the contestants got even closer to figuring out everyone’s identities.
