Kacey Musgraves reveals if she's really quit weed for good

Perth Now01-05-2025
Kacey Musgraves has insisted she hasn't totally quit marijuana.
The 36-year-old country star sang about "getting rid" of certain habits in her 2024 track 'Deeper Well' and later said in an interview that she weed was "not for this chapter" of her life, but now she's clarified her stance.
She told The Hollywood Reporter: 'Um, I never said I don't ever partake.
'I just don't wake up and hit a gravity bong the size of my face anymore, which is what I did for a long time.
"But, hey, more power to whatever suits you.'
In her 2013 track 'Follow Your Arrow', she urged listeners to "kiss lots of boys, or kiss lots of girls", and "roll up a joint, or don't".
The song's referencing to homosexuality and cannabis sparked controversy among the country music scene's more conservative circles.
She recalled: "Oh my gosh, it was so controversial. I was told not to [release the song] and all these reasons why."
She added: "It ended up tanking — it was banned by country radio. But I would never trade that for the love and the people it brought to my world.
"I'm not going to present a watered-down version of myself to be accepted. I'll f****** shovel s*** for a living at a horse barn, and I'll be really happy. Or I'll just be a songwriter. Anyway, it ended up working out."
Last year, Kacey told The Cut that she was leaving her stoner persona behind.
She quipped: "It's not for this chapter. Maybe later, when I'm a 60-year-old lady with nothing to do and I'm just doing pottery all day, maybe. We'll see."
Meanwhile, the 'Rainbow' hitmaker also reflected on the fallout of her divorce 2020 divorce from Ruston Kelly, and subsequent romance with now-ex boyfriend Cole Shafer, which she shared a lot on Instagram.
She said: 'I don't regret living and loving as hard as I do. Whenever I'm in a relationship, I'm all f****** in.
"I think that hesitancy breeds hesitancy, and if you go in with something with one foot, it's going to fail.
'After divorce, it's like on one hand I do want to self-protect, but at the same time, if your heart is feeling open, I think you have to just show up for it. I'm still trying to figure out the balance of that.'

Julie Bowen 'started laughing' over fate of Happy Gilmore 2 character

Julie Bowen "started laughing" when she learned that her character dies in Happy Gilmore 2. The 55-year-old actress has reprised the role of Virginia Venit for the comedy sequel, and Julie has recalled laughing when she discovered her character's fate in the movie. The Hollywood star - who appeared in the original Happy Gilmore movie in 1996 - told People: "When I found out that I was killed on page 12, I started laughing. "I was on vacation with my family, and I had no wifi. I could barely read this thing. I only had my phone, and I was like, 'Am I seeing this right'? Trying to blow it up. "And I was like, 'Oh, yeah, I'm dead. And he kills me.' Then I just started laughing. I just started laughing and laughing, and Adam [Sandler] was trying to get through to me. I was on island with no wifi and barely any cell, and we finally connected. "I go, 'I don't care. It's great. Happy can't be happy.'" Despite this, Julie relished reprising the role of Virginia. The actress said: "It's just fun to be part of the whole thing. Of course, why would I not want to be part of Happy Gilmore, whether I'm a big part, a little part." Meanwhile, Julie previously revealed that she thought Sydney Sweeney was set to replace her in Happy Gilmore 2. The actress thought someone like Sydney, 27, was perfectly suited to replace her in the comedy movie. Julie told The Hollywood Reporter: "I thought, 'Well I won't be in it'. And that was OK - it was like Virginia Venit, it's been 30 years, he's got a hottie. He's got some little bitty on the side, like a cart girl. "As a matter of fact my children told me, before I was even told officially that there was a 'Happy Gilmore' sequel, my now 18-year-old said, 'Mom, I hear they're doing a sequel and he's with Sydney Sweeney as a cart girl.'" Sydney was widely linked with a role in the new 'Happy Gilmore' movie - but Julie was pleasantly surprised to be offered a part in the sequel. She said: "I went, I'm hurt and I so respect that move. Of course, why wouldn't you? So when I got the call that I was actually in it, I was like, 'Are you sure? Come on.'"

Jeff Bridges 'didn't want to offend' method actor Jared Leto

Jeff Bridges 'didn't want to offend' method actor Jared Leto on the set of Tron: Ares. The 75-year-old actor explained how his co-star wanted to be called by his character's name Ares while they were on set but he struggled to do so as he wanted to build a relationship with Jared, 53. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Jeff said at San Diego Comic-Con: 'He's one of those guys. Everyone has different methods and modes man. 'I didn't want to offend him as a thespo. But I thought, 'I wanted to have a certain intimacy with you. I know your name is Ares. Can I just call you Air?' He said, 'Yeah man! You can call me whatever you want!' We had a great time.' And, Jared shared how excited he was to work with Jeff, even calling cut in the middle of a scene because he could not stop smiling. He said: 'I just blurted out, 'cut!' Everyone was surprised, because I don't often do that. The first AD comes over and said, 'Is everything OK? What's wrong?' And I said, 'You know, I just can't stop smiling, because I'm working with my guy.'' The film - which follows on from the events of 2010's 'Tron: Legacy' - follows the computer software Ares (Leto) which is sent from the digital world into the real world to introduce artificial intelligence to humans. Bridges reprises his role as video game designer Kevin Flynn who was first introduced in the 1982 original movie. Writer/ director Steven Lisberger said: 'My feeling about Tron is the most important thing is we kick this technology around artistically before it kicks us around.'

Logan Lerman disappointed by idols

Logan Lerman has been disappointed by some of his idols. The 33-year-old actor has previously been upset after getting the chance to meet actors he admired and finding out they were 'a*******' but he was thrilled to discover that Martin Short was as wonderful in real life as he is on screen, when they worked on Only Murders in the Building. He told The Hollywood Reporter: 'It's scary to meet someone you love so much because they can ruin their entire filmography for you by being an a******. That's happened to me, and those people shall remain nameless, but meeting Martin made me love his work even more.' Logan's next movie is Oh, Hi! with Molly Gordon and he estimates he spent about 100 hours in bed during filming as his character spends most of the movie handcuffed to his love interest's bed frame. He said: 'When I first read the script, I did wonder how we'd make it work, energy-wise, but I saw it came down to the bed frame and how much movement it allowed. Once we figured that out, I'd just show up to work and hop into bed. 'The hardest part was knowing I had to be naked every day - and look the same every day. That took more effort, especially toward the end of the shoot.'
