John Rich, famed country singer from the band Big and Rich, is the latest celebrity to share his thoughts on the Bud Light controversy concerning their choice to do a sponsorship with trans activist Dylan Mulvaney. Rich, who also owns the Redneck Riviera bar in Nashville, Tennessee, told Fox News Digital he "didn't know exactly what to anticipate" when the controversy began.

Beer does not have a — I mean, it’s not a Democrat or a Republican, it doesn’t have a belief system,” Whoopi Goldberg said to kick off the Hot Topics discussion. “It’s just beer!”As her co-hosts collected themselves after laughing, host Sunny Hostin chimed in, first calling out the blatant transphobia coming from conservative critics.“I think that these people that were destroying their own beer, which is also kind of dumb, they also are making this out to be — this is a transphobic issue, right?” she said.

Hoping to win back the audience that abandoned Bud Light and other affiliated products in the wake of its endorsement deal with transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney, Anheuser-Busch has launched a new ad featuring its most iconic image.

Lisa Marie Presley's ex-husband Michael Lockwood has been named guardian ad litem of their twins. The 54-year-old star was still in dispute with her ex-husband - who she split from in 2016 after 10 years of marriage - over the care of their 14-year-old twin daughters Harper and Finley when she passed away earlier this year. However, after a hearing in Los Angeles last week, where Michael's lawyer Scott Rahn said he was "ready, able and willing to protect their interests" and represent the twins in the family's trust battle, Judge Lynn Healey Scaduto granted the request, PEOPLE reports.

Bill Maher and his guests channeled Salt-n-Pepa Friday night on HBO’s Real Time, as the theme of the night was “Let’s Talk About Sex.” Specifically, who is a woman, who has the right to determine a woman’s health and athletic requirements, and whether it’s a smart move to go after Donald Trump over sex-related crimes.

Lisa Marie Presley, full custody of the 14-year-old twins she shared with Michael Lockwood has been officially granted to their father. Lockwood was appointed as the guardian ad litem to daughters Harper Vivienne Ann and Finley Aaron Love on Thursday, with no one opposing the arrangement in court, ET has confirmed. Neither Lisa Marie's mother, Priscilla Presley, or her 33-year-old daughter, Riley Keough, were in attendance for the hearing. The legal move comes amid contention surrounding Lisa Marie's estate. In February, two weeks after Lisa Marie's death, Priscilla filed paperwork challenging a 2016 amendment to her daughter's will, which removed Priscilla and Lisa Marie's former business manager, Barry Siegel, as co-trustees and named Riley and her brother, Benjamin Keough, as the new co-trustees.

The Oscar-winning actress starred as Nikki Parker, a mother who returns to the same college her daughter is attending.

In Mo’Nique’s new Netflix stand-up special, the Academy Award winner spends some time talking and joking about her stint on The Parkers. However, a profit participation suit filed today against Paramount Pictures, CBS TV Studios and others is no laughing matter.

Zack Sharf Digital News Director Howard Stern and Rosie O’Donnell are showing their support for Dylan Mulvaney, the transgender social media star who has been at the center of conservative backlash following her partnership with Bud Light. Mulvaney announced in an April 1 Instagram video that she was teaming up with Bud Light for a fan contest, while also revealing the company made her a one-time only specialized can with her face on it. An alleged leak of a Bud Light gay pride can also hit social media around the same time. Many conservative figures condemned Bud Light following its decision to team with a LBGTQ content creator. Kid Rock went viral for posting a video to Instagram in which he used a semi-automatic rifle to shoot down cases of Bud Light. The singer said that he wanted his message to be as “clear and concise as possible,” before bluntly saying: “Fuck Bud Light, and fuck Anheuser-Busch.”

Country singer Travis Tritt also vocalized his displeasure, tweeting that he would no longer support Anheuser-Busch, the company that produces Budweiser and Bud Light.

Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music Critic Mick Mars, Motley Crue’s guitarist of 41 years, has filed legal papers bringing deep and apparently hostile divisons between him and the other three members of the band out into the open. The suit only demands that the group hand over relevant documents about their businesses in advance of arbitration. But the wealth of details in Mars’ filing offers a provocative look at the tension between him and the others, in what he says has been a pattern of “gaslighting” in an attempt to kick him out of the group. The paperwork was filed in Los Angeles County’s Superior Court Thursday filed through Mars’ attorney, Edwin F. McPherson, and says the band has deliberately withheld information about the various Motley Crue businesses that he has a 25% ownership share in. Mars says the band has demanded he sign a severance agreement that would divest him of those and other future interests, in return for a 5% stake in the group’s 2023 tour, which is going on without him.
