Entertainment this Morning with Gary and Bristol Monday, January 25

Six days a week, Gary and Bristol get up before the sun shines to bring you the latest from Nashville, New York City and Hollywood with Entertainment this Morning!

With friends and family losing homes and jobs because of the oil industry and state budget here in Louisiana struggling, this story hits close to home for me and I’ll go ahead and say right out front, I’m on the side of the Canadian Prime Minister, even though he doesn’t need my support. Apparently, Leonardo DiCaprio was at the World Economic Forum and vocally pronounced that corporate greed in the oil industry is causing climate change. The Canadian Prime Minister wasn’t having that and confronted Leo saying, "inflammatory rhetoric" wasn't helping families of people who are losing their oil industry jobs. Can I get an Amen?

If you’re a Star Wars fan and have some extra cash on hand, Luke’s blaster is up for grabs for a starting bid of $200,000 from The Empire Strikes Back.

Big congrats going out to Shawna and Keifer of Thompson Square. The duo had their first child yesterday and named him Rigney Cooper. Rigney is Shawna’s grandmother’s maiden name.

Miranda Lambert is a busy girl! She just announced her Keeper of the Flame tour with Kip Moore and Brothers Osborne. While I don’t see Bossier City on the list, her website says they haven’t announced all of the dates for her tour yet AND she’s playing AT&T Stadium in Arlington June 4^th with Kenny Chesney, so it doesn’t rule out a show here. There’s a ton of dates around that one for routing.

Speaking of Miranda, you know she’s an animal lover and right now she’s asking for donations for a fallen K-9 officer in Lindale, TX. The K-9 was shot and killed while authorities were trying to apprehend someone in a stolen vehicle. Miranda is working to try and get a new partner for Deputy Constable Kevin Petty and donations can be made on Miranda’s MuttNation Foundation website.

Dierks Bentley says despite the aches and pains it give him, he still loves to play hockey. Dierks says, "You get done, and your rib cage hurts… and the bones ache from being stretched out because you breathe so deeply." Speaking of hockey, the Shreveport Mudbugs return to the ice this fall at their original home at Hirsch Coliseum as a part of the NAHL, the only USA Hockey-sanctioned Tier II Junior League.
