Kelsea Ballerini will host the CMT Music Awards from home after a positive Covid-19 test - CNN

(CNN)Country star Kelsea Ballerini will still host the CMT Music Awards even after testing positive for Covid-19 -- just not from the same room as the nominees.

Ballerini will host from home, the singer announced Monday in a video posted to Instagram, just a few hours before the ceremony. She was set to host from Nashville's Municipal Auditorium with fellow country phenom Kane Brown and actor Anthony Mackie.
The "This Feeling" singer said on Instagram that she was "feeling a lot better" after testing positive a few days earlier, so the Country Music Television team brought part of the ceremony's set to her home, from which she'll perform and host.
"It is certainly not what we had expected or planned for, but we are doin' our damn best," she said in the clip. "Let's make some lemonade together out of these really bitter lemons."
The CMT Music Awards are to country music what the MTV Video Music Awards are to pop -- a ceremony, voted on by fans, that awards musicians for music videos and digital performances. The nominees this year include host and musician Brown, Brandi Carlile, Jason Aldean and Carrie Underwood, among many others.
The show -- with Brown and Mackie onstage, and Ballerini on a makeshift stage at home -- airs Monday at 8 p.m. ET on CBS.

Adblock test (Why?)

Elizabeth Hurley said it was a "nightmare" working with Matthew Perry on their 2002 film "Serving Sara," which was shot at the height of his drug addiction.  The production had to be abruptly shut down because the "Friends" star needed to enter rehab for two months.  Still, the "Royals" actress doesn’t hold it against Perry, who detailed his addiction struggles in his new memoir, "Friends, Lovers and the Big Terrible Thing."  Hurley recently told Yahoo! Entertainment it was a "little tough" during the film’s hiatus. But when he returned to filming after two months in rehab he was "fabulous."

Daisy Edgar-Jones in ‘Where the Crawdads Sing’: Film Review - Hollywood Reporter

Image
Where the Crawdads Sing is the kind of tedious moral fantasy that fuels America’s misguided idealism. It’s an attempt at a complex tale about rejection, difference and survival. But the film, like the novel it’s based on, skirts the issues — of race, gender and class — that would texture its narrative and strengthen its broad thesis, resulting in a story that says more about how whiteness operates in a society allergic to interdependence than it does about how communities fail young people. Directed by Olivia Newman ( First Match ), the film adaptation of Delia Owens’ popular and controversial novel of the same name tells the remarkable tale of a shy, reclusive girl raised in the marshes of North Carolina who finds herself embroiled in a grisly police investigation. Her name is Kya ( Daisy Edgar-Jones of Normal People , Fresh and Under the Banner of Heaven ), but to those in the neighboring town, whose residents abhor her, she is known simply as “Marsh Girl.” The account of her
