In case you missed it...
Jelly Roll has been inspiring people inside and outside of the music business with his incredible story of a life spent in trouble, in jail, and now in his newest role as country superstar. His ability to inspire, motivate and guide has led him to a new gig in 2024. Announced this week, JR will take on the role as a mentor on Season 22 of "American Idol." It's not Jelly's first time on the show; last season he appeared on the finale with Lainey Wilson to perform "Save Me." He also performed “Need a Favor” with contestant Oliver Steele. Both JR and the official "American Idol" Instagram account posted the announcement, which garnered a response from former "AI" champ Scotty McCreery, who commented, "He will be an awesome mentor." And Steele also chimed in, saying "I can say from experience, this man is an excellent mentor!!!" The new season begins February 18th at 8 p.m. PT/ET on ABC.
Quite frequently on his social media, you'll see Blake Shelton riding his beloved tractors as he tends his Oklahoma fields. But Blake likes another, high-end form of transportation - so much so, he's one of the top celebs to use it. On a recently released list of the Top 30 Celebrities Who Use Private Jets The Most, you have the usual Kim Kardashians and Kylie Jenners, the Elon Musks and Bill Gates - but work your way down the list a little and you find Blake Shelton at #23. Blake's shuttling back and forth from his Oklahoma farm to his Hollywood gigs (along with frequent touring) have placed him firmly on the list - but he's not the only country artist on there. Down a couple notches at #27, Kenny Chesney finds his way on to the list. Check out the complete Top 30 below.
