Celebrity Scoop - Jelly Roll Invited to the Grand Ole Opry

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Movies, music, and all the gossip in one place. It's
the celebrities goop on Star one oh five point seven. Well,
it was a powerfully emotional moment. Yesterday. Country singer Jelly
Roll was on the Joe Rogan Experience podcast when he
was given the surprise of a lifetime country singer Craig

(00:20):
Morgan inviting him to become an official member of the
Grand Ole Opry. The storied organization has created a full
circle moment for Jelly, as he explains, back when he
was incarcerated in two thousand and eight, it was Craig
Morgan's almost home that helped guide him to make big
changes in his life. Those changes have carried into some

(00:42):
of the best work done by this generous soul. And
it's the moment that he literally threw his headphones off
and started crying.

Speaker 2 (00:51):
And to thank you for the positive difference you're making
in the lives of so many people who need the help.
You're doing great work, buddy, And I'll never forget meeting
you on the Grand Ole Opry and how much it
meant to me to hear you say my music helped
you get through some really tough times. That's one thing
country music does really well. And who would have ever
dreamed back then that I'd be back at the Opry
House today to say, Jelly Roll, you're officially invited to

(01:13):
become a member of the Grand Old Opry. It's an
honor to say welcome to the family.

Speaker 3 (01:17):
Brother, Yeah, for sure. It just makes the kiss, yo,
Grand Olofrey dog dude. I used to buy tickets to
go there, and I remember I googled them. Craig Morgan,
I heard almost Home in Jail. You've heard the song, right.
It's like the most tear jerking song about a homeless man,
and it just reminded me of jail. You know, no
matter where you are, the mind's strong.

Speaker 1 (01:39):
The mind is strong, his faith is strong. And now
Jelly Roll the latest member to join the Grand Old Opry. Oh,
it's pretty incredible stuff. I've got the whole interview at
West Michigan Star dot com. I personally love the met
Gala because I think ridiculous fashion is so fun to watch.
And now it will be a music upers star, an

(02:00):
Oscar winner, and a tennis legend that will take over
the Met Gala. The big announcement made yesterday Beyonce Nicole
Kidman and Venus Williams have been named co chairs of
the event. The three stars have been tapped to work
with icon Anna Wintour a next year's edition of the event.
Vogue announcing the news yesterday morning. This will be massive.

(02:24):
This is going to be a really, really cool This
year's theme is costume art, exploring the relationship between clothing
and the body beneath. Co chairs will also include host
committees that we'll see Zoe Kravitz, Sabrina Carpenter, and Misty
Copeland among some of the people hosting some of those parties.
It's really really good stuff and big for Nicole Kidman,

(02:46):
who has been quite a regular on the met carpet,
but will probably have her first solo year. Finally, Jason
Kelsey won half of the iconic Kelsey Brothers. Is zub
kind of taking a page from his soon to be
sister in law's played book. Not quite a Taylor Swift album,
but maybe a Christmas classic. A co owner of the
popular beer brand Garage Beer alongside his brother, he hopped

(03:10):
on the mic to cut some narration for a limited
edition vinyl.

Speaker 4 (03:15):
But these weren't flying reindeer, not yet, just regular old
snow stoppers kind of clumsy and bowered out of their antlers.
So one night I'll.

Speaker 1 (03:32):
Dig him for dinner.

Speaker 4 (03:33):
Puts and spots three little red caps in the snow berries,
soft as clouds. She takes it by it and suddenly
feels lighter than a snowflake.

Speaker 1 (03:49):
With songs including the Reindeer and the Red Drink and
Jason Kelsey featuring the Oh Beer Corral, it'll be quite
a Christmas gift. It drops tomorrow. You can check it
