Country singer Ray Stevens suffers mild heart attack, cancels shows
Stevens, 86, underwent minimally invasive heart surgery on Monday after experiencing chest pains on July 4.
"Ray has been discharged from the hospital and is on his way home right now," a representative for the musician told Fox News Digital. "He will be recovering for a few weeks at home. There will be a few additional procedures to perform once he's recovered but things went really well."
Stevens complained of chest pain and was admitted to a Nashville hospital on Friday. Doctors performed a heart catheterization procedure, and it was determined he'd suffered a mild heart attack.
Due to his health issues, Stevens' performances at the CabaRay Showroom were canceled through July.
The Grammy award-winning musician was recovering as of Wednesday, according to a post shared on Instagram.
"Ray is out of ICU and beginning to walk the halls as therapy with a nurse's assistance as he is working towards recovering from this surgery," the caption read.
"Ray is very grateful for all of the cards and get well messages. Everything Is Still Beautiful!!!"

Travis Scott & Cactus Jack Present ‘JACKBOYS 2' Compilation Album: Stream It Now
With Sunday (July 13) serving as 713 day, it's only right that Travis Scott and Cactus Jack dropped off the JACKBOYS 2 compilation album in an homage to La Flame's hometown of Houston. The anticipated sequel hit streaming services on Sunday and JB2 finds fellow H-Town rap dignitary Bun B onboard as host, while the project boasts 17 tracks in total. More from Billboard Travis Scott Raises 'JACKBOYS 2' Hype With '2000 Excursion' Single Feat.

Following several teasers, Travis set the tone for the project's rollout with the release of the thumping single '2000 Excursion' earlier this week, which saw a racing-themed visual hit YouTube but never received an official streaming service arrival. There's plenty of merchandise for Ragers to cop on La Flame's website, as Cactus Jack released various merchandise collections and CD/vinyl bundles featuring alternate cover arts to accompany JACKBOYS 2. The first JACKBOYS project arrived in December 2019 with appearances from the late Pop Smoke, Young Thug, Quavo, Offset, Rosalia and Lil Baby. The effort reached the summit when it debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200. It's been a busy year for Scott, who headlined night two of Coachella in April and notched another No. 1 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 with '4×4' in February. He even completed another side quest when making WWE appearances at Elimination Chamber and WrestleMania. Stream JACKBOYS 2 below.

Klay Thompson Goes Instagram Official With Megan Thee Stallion
Megan Thee Stallion and Klay Thompson essentially announced they were dating this week, both sharing discreet yet obvious snaps of one another on Instagram. First, the rapper posted some bathing suit shots by a luxurious pool with a mystery man lounging in the back. Fans of the NBA star guessed it was him instantly, setting off a flurry of rumors about the pair's relationship status. She also captioned the carousel with two emojis: a palm tree and an airplane, indicating a trip, which is not usually first date stuff. Then on Saturday, July 12, Thompson posted a carousel of moments in his recent life that appeared to include Megan and a trip to the Bahamas. In one shot, he is kissing a woman with her back turned to us, in another he is holding a woman's manicured hand. The manicure matches the same color and shape she was wearing poolside. So who is Klay Thompson? Here's everything to know about the Dallas Mavericks star and his relationship with the Grammy-winner so far. Sports fans might laugh at the question, because Thompson is a four-time NBA champion who is very well-known for his incredibly athleticism. Thompson was born in Los Angeles to parents Julie and Mychal Thompson, both successful athletes as well. His mother was a volleyball player and his dad was the the first overall pick of the 1978 NBA draft, per The Columbian. The family moved to Oregon when Thompson was only two, before heading back to California for his high school career. He was invested in basketball early and went on to play at Washington State University for college. He was selected 11th overall by the Golden State Warriors in 2011, the team where he won four NBA championships. Thompson traded to the Dallas Mavericks in 2024. He is also a member of the United States national team, and won a gold medal at the 2016 Olympics. It's not clear when the couple linked up. The musical artist was last romantically involved with NBA forward Torrey Craig, reportedly splitting with him in April 2024. The basketball star dated actress Laura Herrier from 2018 to 2020.

Jonathan Bailey recalls 'Wicked' costar Jeff Goldblum's reaction to his 'Jurassic World Rebirth' casting: 'As long as I've made Jeff proud, then it's all good'
Jonathan Bailey is following in his Wicked costar Jeff Goldblum's footsteps by starring in the latest installment in the Jurassic Park franchise. Making an appearance on the radio show Capital Breakfast, Bailey shared how he found out he got cast in Jurassic World Rebirth. When asked if Goldblum gave him any advice on how to approach the iconic franchise, Bailey said, "Just being near Jeff is an education in itself." Bailey and Goldblum both play supporting roles in Wicked. Bailey is Fiyero, a prince and popular student at Shiz University, while Goldblum plays the iconic Wizard. The Bridgerton actor didn't initially tell Goldblum that he snagged a role in Jurassic World Rebirth, which he was cast in before Wicked came out. When the news broke, Goldblum was encouraging. "He just said, 'Go and have fun,' and yeah, as long as I've made Jeff proud, then it's all good," Bailey who plays paleontologist Dr. Henry Loomis in the new film, said that receiving the offer was "sort of a fantasy." While the producers told him to take his time to consider the job, Bailey admitted he was eager to say yes to the opportunity. "They're like, 'Okay, we're sending you the script, you've got an offer for the new Jurassic Park," Bailey said. "'Obviously, take your time to read the script, sit with it over the weekend, and let us know what you think.' I was like, 'I'll do it.'" Listen to the full interview with Jonathan Bailey below.
