Lainey Wilson thinks Devlin 'Duck' Hodges is 'brave' to marry her

Yahoo25-03-2025
Lainey Wilson thinks Devlin 'Duck' Hodges is "brave" to marry her. The 32-year-old country singer got engaged to the former NFL star last month after four years together and she has thankful to have found someone so supportive of the busy lifestyle she leads as a result of her career. Speaking on 'The Kelleigh Bannen Show' on Apple Music Country, she said: 'He is a brave man. "First of all, anybody who is okay with this lifestyle and being in the business so much and being gone all the time, he was plucked from the sky for me. "Don't tell him I said that… We got to keep him humble.' The 'Heart Like a Truck' hitmaker is known for wearing bell-bottoms but she won't be donning her trademark flares for their wedding. She said: 'I'm going to wear a dress. I hadn't done the whole dress shopping. "We haven't even picked a date or anything like that. We got some time, but I figured, you know what? I hadn't worn a dress for him yet, and I guess that would be the day to do it.' The 28-year-old footballer designed Lainey's engagement ring himself and she revealed he was inspired by jewellery she'd shown him very early in their relationship. She said: 'Years ago I was just joking and being like, 'Oh, check this out,' and he was like, 'Oh shoot'. "I think he started saving four years ago when we first started dating… But he went in and he designed it. He took a couple of the rings that I showed him years ago and put them all together and he outdid himself.' Lainey revealed the news of her engagement on Instagram in February. Referring to her song '4x4xU', shared a series of photos and videos along with the caption: "4x4xU forever.(sic)" The post included a photo of the couple holding hands at the top of a set of steps in front of a building, with further close-up images showing off the 'Heart Like A Truck' hitmaker's new engagement ring, with flowers, candles, and framed photographs visible in front of the doorway behind them. The final slide was a short video of Lainey walking down the stairs and saying "boo" as she held her hand up to the camera. The 'Hang Tight Honey' singer may have announced the couple's engagement via social media, but she previously admitted she and her partner prefer to keep their romance as private as possible. She told Billboard magazine: "When it comes to mine and Duck's relationship, there's going to be some things that we can't escape and people are going to say and do whatever, but me and him are on the same page about the less we put out there, the less that we're going to have to deal with people making anything up and saying anything. "We want to keep that as sacred as we possibly can between me and him, and so far, it has worked for us."

Chris Meloni Joins, William H. Macy Circling Hulu's NFL Drama From Dan Fogelman

Two big names are preparing to hit the gridiron for Hulu. Chris Meloni will play the head coach of an NFL team in an upcoming Hulu drama from This Is Us creator Dan Fogelman, TVLine has confirmed. Additionally, Shameless alum William H. Macy is in talks to join the series — tentatively titled 17 Sundays — as well in an undisclosed role, sources tell TVLine.

Adds The Night Agent's Arienne Mandi as New Series Regular 17 Sundays, first announced back in October, will be written and executive-produced by Fogelman, who also has Season 2 of Paradise in the works at Hulu. Plot details for the new series are being kept under wraps as of now, but sources describe it as a sprawling drama set inside the world of the NFL with a generational family component. Meloni is best known for playing Det. Elliot Stabler, a role he originated on Law & Order: SVU and now plays on Peacock's Law & Order: Organized Crime. His other TV credits include Oz, Happy! and Underground. Macy was a six-time Emmy nominee for his role as patriarch Frank Gallagher on Showtime's Shameless and previously recurred on ER; he's mainly known for his film works in movies like Fargo, Boogie Nights and Magnolia. For all you Law & Order: OC fans worried about this news, Meloni's casting here does not necessarily spell doom for OC, a source maintains, and here's why: 17 Sundays would shoot in the fall, while Organized Crime — if it's renewed for Season 6 — would return to production in the spring. Season 5 of Organized Crime wrapped up its 10-episode run in June.

Watch the red sculpture of Trump emerge from a NYC manhole

"I installed the sculpture in New York because this is where he built his image, his empire, his legend," artist James Colomina told USA TODAY. President Donald Trump appeared in New York City on July 23, or rather, a characterized version of him did. French artist James Colomina installed a life-size sculpture of the president, titled "Donald," in Manhattan on the morning of July 23. The artist told USA TODAY that he installed the sculpture around 7 a.m. local time, though it has since been removed. The bright red sculpture, made of resin, depicted Trump from the waist up, emerging from a manhole, also part of the sculpture. Wearing a suit and tie, the statue portrayed a serious-looking and pursed-lipped Trump looking upward at the skyscraper above him. Under the manhole cover lid, a small red rat peered outward. "I installed the sculpture in New York because this is where he built his image, his empire, his legend," Colomina told USA TODAY via email. "A city he tried to conquer with golden towers and brutal slogans. I wanted this image – a red body rising from the sewers – to disturb that landscape." The sculpture was created in about three weeks at his studio in France, Colomina said. He then disassembled and transported it to New York, and later reassembled the sculpture on site. Colomina posted a photo of the sculpture to his Instagram story on July 23, with the caption "Make America Grime Again," a reference to Trump's popular motto, "Make America Great Again." Neither the White House nor Trump immediately responded for comment about the sculpture when contacted by USA TODAY on July 23. Where was the sculpture located? The sculpture was located at the corner of East 42nd Street and 2nd Avenue in Midtown Manhattan, in front of The News Building, which is about a mile away from Trump Tower. It was removed by a maintenance worker for SL Green Realty Corp., the company that owns the skyscraper. "The sculpture is installed right across from the Chrysler Building, a symbol of power, elevation, and architectural pride," Colomina told USA TODAY. "I liked the idea of creating a stark contrast between this vertical monument and the grotesque figure emerging from the sewers." Who is James Colomina? Colomina is a street artist, known for his bright red, life-size sculptures, which have been installed in Tokyo, Barcelona, Paris, and many other cities. "The 'Colomina Red,' the artist's visual signature, embodies the anger, passion, and urgency of the issues he tackles," Colomina's artist biography on the Galeries Bartoux website states. "James Colomina favors a clandestine, spontaneous approach: He places his works directly in the street, without prior announcement, transforming everyday spaces into platforms for artistic reflection."

Jessica Simpson Seems to Detail the Demise of Marriage to Ex-Husband Eric Johnson in New Song Lyrics

Jessica Simpson is seemingly hinting at the demise of her marriage to Eric Johnson in a new song. On Tuesday, July 22, the star shared her latest single "Fade" — her first single since the release of Nashville Canyon, Pt. 1, her first EP in 15 years — which appears to be a nod to the end of her marriage to the former NFL player, 45. "You can always say you love me / That doesn't mean that I feel loved / There's a green light in the distance / And all your words become too much / Well I won't repeat this history / The kind I've seen times before / Here's the part, I should say I miss you / But I think you'll miss me more," she croons on the soulful rock track. Simpson, 45, later notes that her lover is "as empty as your promise" and tells them to "go sleep alone in the bed you made." The "Breadcrumbs" artist later notes that she wants her heart "to feel held safe." "I know that home is a feeling / And not a place / Oh, there won't be a next time / Cause I won't break," Simpson sings. On July 23, Simpson performed "Fade" — along with several new and old songs over the course of four hours — as a part of the Today show's Citi Concert Series. 'How does it feel back on the stage, the first release in 15 years?' NBC correspondent Peter Alexander asked the fashion designer on stage. 'It's insane. And of course I had a malfunction here and everywhere, but it's okay,' said Simpson, who donned a pink corset dress with feathered fringe skirt and a silver sparkly jacket. 'I think my boobs stayed in, so it's okay.' One week prior to the release of "Fade," Simpson teased the track on Instagram. "I was in a rough place when the day came around for this writing session, however I was not going to crawl under my sheets, hide, and cry," she captioned the post. "Instead, I chose to rise and shine. It immediately encouraged confrontation to heal a layer of pain. You can pre-save #FADE now using the link in bio, OUT 7/22!" In January, Simpson and Johnson announced their separation. "Eric and I have been living separately navigating a painful situation in our marriage," she told PEOPLE in a statement at the time. In November 2024, Johnson was spotted without his wedding ring, and a source told PEOPLE that the couple "very much live separate lives." The former couple initially met in 2010 and tied the knot in 2014. They've since welcomed three children: Maxwell Drew, 13, Birdie Mae, 5, and Ace Knute, 12. Read the original article on People
