Actor and producer Donald Glover starred on Community for years, playing the role of the beloved Troy Barnes. The show amassed quite a cult following in its six seasons, earning some impressive ratings at times. In fact, the show worked so well that the cast is currently wrapping up production on the Community movie.
But believe it or not, Glover was blissfully unaware of the show’s popularity when he was on it, at least at first. It took a trip over the Canadian border for him to realize he was famous.

Community, which debuted in 2009, starred Joe McHale as Jeff Winger, a disbarred lawyer suspended from his firm when he was busted for lying about having a bachelor’s degree from Columbia University.

Singer-songwriter Hailey Whitters has teamed up with country vocal quartet Little Big Town for the new single and video “Fillin’ My Cup,” the first new music Whitters has released since her 2020 album The Dream.
A fiddle-driven country-rocker with ringing electric guitars and beefy drums, “Fillin’ My Cup” was written by Whitters with Nicolle Galyon and Hillary Lindsey. It’s another tune full of quirky philosophical observations in the vein of her previous standout releases “The Days” and “Janice at the Hotel Bar.” In this case, Whitters gets the sublime harmony...

“Anyone have a Triple A card?” asks Midland’s Mark Wystrach, climbing into the middle row of a Pepto-Bismol-colored vintage Cadillac limo that’s currently parked outside of a hip East Nashville bed and breakfast called, appropriately, Urban Cowboy. Though it looks impossibly cool, the interior of this thing is more aging New York taxicab than luxury vehicle — the circulation is minimal, the seats shellac themselves to thighs like athletic tape, and it may or may not emit borderline lethal amounts of exhaust.
