LeAnn Rimes shares the video for ‘Spaceship’ filmed by husband Eddie Cibrian

LeAnn Rimes is sharing the music video for “Spaceship,” from her new album God’s Work, released earlier this month.  Rimes said in an Instagram post announcing the video: “tears. rage. loneliness…. when it came time to create a video for ‘spaceship’, i knew it needed to reflect those same feelings and be as intimate as the lyrics. so, i recruited the best in the business to direct this video for me, my husband, eddie. he has an incredible eye and knows me so well, which really allowed me to expose my most primal, emotional self. “

The video was spontaneously shot by LeAnn’s husband, Eddie Cibrian, while on an RV trip throughout California. Using his iPhone to film, Cibrian shot the video in 4 takes under 30 minutes.  Cibrian said in a statement: “We were on our way back from Mammoth when I said we should stop in Alabama Hills to scout a possible location. Once we got there and found a spot, the sun was setting and there was something magical at that exact moment. We knew we needed to capture something then. It was intimate, emotional, and powerful. We only did four takes, which were a mix of sunset and sunrise to capture both sets of light. It all came together beautifully.”

“Spaceship” is the opening track of Rimes’ 19th album, God’s Work.  The 12-track album features artists including Ziggy Marley, Mickey Guyton, Aloe Blacc, Ben Harper, Ledisi, Sheila E., Robert Randolph, Táta Vega, and more.  Rimes also recently announced Joy: The Holiday Tour which will kick-off December 2nd through December 18th.

Post Malone is back on tour after being hospitalized due to injury from fall on stage

Post Malone took the stage in Cleveland on Tuesday after being hospitalized with a broken rib following a nasty fall at a previous show, and he also performed at his tour stop in Pittsburgh on Sept. 28.

The news comes after 27-year-old was forced to cancel his show in Boston on Sept. 24 after waking up to “cracking sounds” on the right side of his body. He wrote on Twitter at the time: “I’m having a very difficult time breathing, and there’s like a stabbing pain whenever I breathe or move. We’re in the hospital now, but with this pain, I can’t do the show tonight. I’m so f–king sorry.”

On Sept. 18, Post was performing in St. Louis when he took a tumble after stepping on an uncovered hole on stage. Video capturing the scary moment shows the singer slamming into the ground and writhing in pain while security guards rushed to make sure he was okay. After being helped off stage, he came back out saying he was sorry, and finished the concert. Doctors found a small fracture in his rib cage after he got a CAT scan and X-Rays done.

Miranda Lambert's Velvet Rodeo Las Vegas residency is officially rolling: The country superstar kicked things off over the weekend with her first performance at the city's Planet Hollywood.

So, what's she loving most about the show? “The fire,” Miranda tells ET Online with a laugh.

Along with all those pyrotechnics, Miranda says she's been enjoying spending time in Vegas with her husband, Brendan McLoughlin, who is planning to be in the audience for every single show.

Miranda recently teased that fans might get to see Brendan take the stage with her one night. “I’ve promised him he could bring me a tequila shot one night, but not yet,” she told Extra, admitting that her husband is a huge fan of being in the spotlight.

Miranda's Velvet Rodeo is scheduled to run through April 2023.

Luke Bryan is ending his 2022 Farm Tour on a high note. Not only did the six shows bring Luke to small farming towns throughout the month of September, but the trek was a way for the singer to give back to farming communities.

As of 2022, Luke's Farm Tour — now in its 13th year — has awarded 78 college scholarships to students from farming families who are attending the college or university local to his tour stops.

But that's not all: During his Farm Tours, Luke partners with Bayer and asks fans to tweet out the hashtag #HeresToTheFarmer; for every share, Bayer will donate a meal to a person in need through Feeding America.

Since the beginning of the partnership in 2015, Luke and Bayer have donated six million meals to date, and over $180,000 has gone to Feeding America member food banks and local farmers at each tour stop city.

In other news, Luke recently added another leg onto his Las Vegas residency for early 2023. He's also scheduled to host the CMA Awards this year, a gig he'll share with Peyton Manning.

The CMA Awards will air live November 9 on ABC beginning at 8 p.m. ET.

House Jan. 6 panel postpones hearing planned for Wednesday due to Hurricane Ian

The House committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol has postponed a hearing scheduled for Wednesday due to Hurricane Ian, which is forecast to hit Florida as a potential Category 4 storm. The hearing was supposed to be the committee’s ninth and final hearing, and reveal some of the information the committee said they learned this summer.

The committee said in a statement: “In light of Hurricane Ian bearing down on parts of Florida, we have decided to postpone tomorrow’s proceedings. We’re praying for the safety of all those in the storm’s path  The Select Committee’s investigation goes forward and we will soon announce a date for the postponed proceedings.”

Committee Chair Bennie Thompson said earlier this month that the committee plans to put together an interim report in mid-October, and will finalize the report before the end of the year, which would take them past the November midterm elections. The committee’s two Republicans, Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger, are both leaving Congress in January.
