Billy Ray Cyrus’ performance at President Donald Trump’s inauguration was a difficult watch, although technical difficulties didn’t help.

The legendary country singer took to the stage at the Liberty Inauguration Ball on Monday (January 20), but the ‘Achey Breaky Heart’ singer didn’t produce the iconic act we’re used to.

Instead, the 63-year-old’s show was marred with IT issues, and at one point, he just wandered aimlessly about the stage just talking to the crowd.

After witnessing the disastrous show, Trace, one of his five children – with Miley Cyrus being another – took to Instagram, pleading with his father to get ‘help’ in a heartbreaking post.

He wrote: “Since my earliest memories all I can remember is being obsessed with you and thinking you were the coolest person ever. I wanted to be just like you. The day you adopted me was the happiest day of my life.

“Sadly the man that I wanted so desperately to be just like I barely recognize now. It seems this world has beaten you down and it’s become obvious to everyone but you.

“You may be upset with me for posting this but I really could care less at this point. Me and the girls have been genuinely worried about you for years but you’ve pushed all of us away. Noah desperately has wanted you to be a part of her life and you haven’t even been there for her. That’s your baby girl. She deserves better.”

Trace’s post continued: “Somehow just like me she still idolizes you though. We are all hanging on to memories of the man we once knew & hoping for the day he returns. You’re not healthy Dad & everyone is noticing it. Just like I showed up for you at mamaws funeral when you didn’t expect me to I’m still here right now.

“As I write this with tears in my eyes I hope you realize this message only comes from a place of love and also fear that the world may lose you far too soon. I love you Dad. We haven’t talked in a while but I’m over a year and half clean from alcohol. Guess what? I feel amazing..

“I don’t know what you’re struggling with exactly but I think I have a pretty good idea & I’d love to help you if you would open up and receive the help. You know how to reach me. Till that day comes I will continue to pray for you. billyraycyrus.”

An actor who featured in Blues Brothers has died aged 95 after getting caught up in the devastating Los Angeles wildfires, her family have confirmed.

Almost 200,000 people were forced to flee Los Angeles as intense wildfires threatened their homes as 12,000 homes have been destroyed.

One of the most damaging wildfires in US history has also meant 24 people have lost their lives.

On Sunday (January 12), the coroner confirmed Blues Brothers extra Dalyce Curry’s remain had been discovered just before 6pm local time that day.

Dalyce Kelley, the actor’s granddaughter announced the tragic news on Facebook by confirming her ‘beloved grandmother’ had died.

“We had a great run. She impacted my life in so many ways. This loss is devastating,” she wrote on social media.

KABC reports Kelley last saw her relative at around midnight on Tuesday (7 January), just when the fires had began to wreak havoc across the southern California region.

The Eaton Fire ultimately destroyed Curry’s Altadena property, with Kelley paying the ruins a visit on Friday (January 10) when her grandmother was not counted for.

“I’m sorry your grandmother’s property is gone. It totally burned down,” an officer told Kelly, as per KABC, after she rushed to the property following a text message stating her grandmother’s house’s power had cut out.

Kelley described what she found as a scene of ‘total devastation’, adding: “Everything was gone except her blue Cadillac.”

Lorée Beamer-Wilkinson, the actor’s other granddaughter, also took to Facebook to share the sad news of her relative’s passing.

“With a heavy heart, I share that our search for Momma D has come to an end, as her remains were found in her home,” she wrote. “We are devastated, and it’s difficult to comprehend how her life came to this end.

“I feel so grateful for the love and opportunity to have known her, even if only for a short time. Momma D was an extraordinary woman who welcomed me and my children into her life with open arms.

“She radiated positivity, showed grace, and lived as a shining example of strength, resilience, and kindness. Her story is one of breaking barriers, overcoming challenges, and spreading love wherever she went.”

She continued: “I miss her deeply and am working through the waves of regret—wishing I had called her more, shared more moments. But I know the best way to honor her is to keep her memory alive and cherish the beautiful moments we shared.”

As well as appearing in Blues Brothers, Curry appeared in The 10 Commandments during her career.

What we know so far about the LA wildfires:

January 2nd

The first warning

The US’ National Weather Service issued a warning of potential strong Santa Ana winds and extreme fire conditions five days before the first wildfire broke out.

In the following days, a Fire Weather Watch warning was issued, as well as state and local officials giving warnings to the Los Angeles area.

January 7th

The first fire ignites

The Palisade’s Fire ignites, triggering an emergency call to be sent to LA residents advising people near the fire to get set for ‘a potential evacuation’.

Later that day, however, the City of Santa Monica issued an Evacuation Order for all areas of the city north of San Vicente: “Evacuation Order: Immediate threat to life. This is a lawful order to LEAVE NOW.”

Two more wildfires begin

Just hours after the first wildfire ignites, the second – named the Eaton Fire – breaks out in the Altadena area of LA.

And following this, the Hurst Fire ignites in LA’s Sylmar area as the National Weather Service report gusts of 99mph. A new evacuation order goes out to those in the affected areas as the blazes rapidly spread, scorching and destroying thousands of acres that contain homes and businesses.

January 9th

Prison inmates deployed to help fight fires

Hundreds of incarcerated men and women were deployed to help fight the growing wildfires, with the number of inmates at the frontline standing at 939, the BBC reports.

This practice isn’t uncommon in California, as it is one of 14 US states that uses inmates to help fight fires. Inmates aren’t forced to take part and do so on their own accord, with it being reported they are being paid between $5.80 and $10.24 per day.

However, inmates with certain convictions – such as arson and sexual offences – aren’t eligible to volunteer.

January 10th

Man arrested for arson

Three days on from the first fire igniting, the LAPD make an arrest after local residents claim that a man on a bike carrying a large blow torch had been trying to set bins and old Christmas trees on fire.

Authorities believe the Kenneth Fire was started intentionally, with the man believed to be responsible being held in custody.

Billion dollar energy company investigated over possible link to wildfires

Southern California Edison, a subsidiary of energy giant Edison International, admitted that its grid experienced a short circuit issue on 7th January, the evening the first fires broke out.

“On January 10, Southern California Edison (SCE) filed an Electric Safety Incident Report (ESIR) related to the Hurst Fire once SCE learned fire agencies are investigating whether SCE equipment was involved in the ignition, which is a triggering event for reporting,” Edison International said in a press release.

“SCE noted that the fire was reported at approximately 10:10pm on 7 January, and preliminary information reflects the Eagle Rock – Sylmar 220 kV circuit experienced a relay at 10:11pm. A downed powerline was discovered at a tower associated with the Eagle Rock – Sylmar 220 kV circuit. SCE does not know whether the damage observed occurred before or after the start of the fire.”

A-list celebrities forced out of their homes

A number of celebrities have been forced to evacuate their homes, many of which have been destroyed. This includes the likes of Paris Hilton, Miles Teller, Anna Faris, Billy Crystal and Eugene Levy.

January 13th

40,000 acres of land destroyed

According to the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection, more than 40,000 acres have been burned in the Eaton, Palisades, Kenneth and Hurst fires.

Homes and businesses are among the more than 12,000 structures that have been destroyed

The death toll rises

Almost a week on from the first fire starting, 24 people have been confirmed by the LA County medical examiner to have died as a result of the blazes.

Officials also confirmed that at least another 16 people remain missing.

If you’ve not come up with a New Year’s resolution yet, then maybe consider staying in and watching more TV, because Netflix has a new series that’s bound to have you hooked.

The five-part series comes from the same creator as previous Netflix hits Fool Me Once, Safe, and The Stranger; all of which have earned scores of more than 70 percent on Rotten Tomatoes.

Based on a book by author Harlan Coben, the new series follows Detective Kat Donovan, played by Rosalind Eleazar, who is left stunned as she comes across her ex-fiancé and former love of her life, Josh, on a dating app.

It might not be that shocking – if Josh hadn’t disappeared 11 years earlier.

The sighting forces Donovan to revisit old wounds and buried secrets, including a mystery surrounding the death of her father, and in true Harlen Coben fashion it’s absolutely packed to the brim with twists and turns.

The series, titled Missing You, only arrived on Netflix yesterday (January 1), but fans are already singing its praises and describing themselves as ‘addicted’.

“Missing You on Netflix is a fantastic watch,” one fan wrote on Twitter, as another posted: “Missing You on Netflix is the best thing I’ve watched in ages so so good.”

Other viewers admitted to watching all five episodes in one day, with one writing: “Just finished Missing You on Netflix in one day. Did not disappoint! You can see how exciting my New Years Day went, can’t you?”

Another added: “On the fourth episode of five of #MissingYou on @NetflixUK. Nothing better than binge-watching the new @HarlanCoben, cuddled up in the warm, when the weather is bleak outside!”

Coben spoke to Netflix’s Tudum about all of the mysteries and questions raised in his new series, saying: “There’s a bigger conspiracy at work here, one that Kat has to really uncover. It starts very, very small, but at the end of Episode 1, you realize this is going to be something that affects a lot of people.

“But mostly it’s about the heart. It’s about that longing. Most of us have someone in our lives who we’ve dated and, in a sense, is a ‘what if.’ And for Kat, this is the ultimate ‘what if.’”

Missing You raises all sorts of questions (Netflix)

Fans of Coben’s work might recognize a few familiar faces in the new series, with Richard Armitage, Marc Warren, and James Nesbitt among the actors who have previously collaborated with Coben returning for roles in this new mystery.

The series will raise a lot of questions, but the first is this – why aren’t you watching it already?

The weekend is here, folks, and I’m not sure about you, but I’ll probably be spending most of mine binge-watching Netflix.

Spring is still yet to have sprung, so film and TV lovers might as well get some well-needed TV time in before it becomes antisocial again to sit inside all day.

New content to land on Netflix this week includes Guy Ritichie’s The Gentleman, Millie Bobby Brown‘s newest movie, Damsel, and the rather raunchy series, Supersex.

But sometimes it’s the hidden gems that people enjoy the most on the popular streaming platform, and Wrong Side of the Tracks fits this description.

First released in 2022, the Spanish-language drama has since had a further two seasons – meaning all three of them (made up of 24 episodes) are ready for binging purposes.

The synopsis for the programme reads: “When his teenage granddaughter falls victim to the drug dealers overtaking his neighborhood, a fed-up war veteran takes matters into his own hands.”

Netflix

Preparing for some weekend watching, one social media user took to Facebook page Netflix Bangers yesterday (March 7) to ask people for their thoughts on Wrong Side of the Tracks (known as Entrevías in Spanish).

“Let me tell you, I watched an episode and have been hooked,” raved one person. “I love international series!! This one is so good.”

Another viewer said: “This is the best thing on Netflix right now brilliant acting should all get awards.”

“Watching this at the moment. Loving it so far. Grampa rules,” a third went on.

Someone else added: “Loved it!! Well worth bingeing!!”

Netflix

And for those of you who are now considering watching Wrong Side of the Tracks in the wake of people’s positive comments, you’ll be pleased to know a fourth series is thought to be arriving on Netflix very soon – despite season three having only just landed.

Season three debuted on February 28, and the fourth is rumored to dropping sometime in May, as filming for the new season is said to have wrapped in January.

Miguel Ángel Jiménez, who portrays Santi in the series, labelled the filming for it as ‘the most brutal project I’ve faced in my entire career’.

He also said he was struggling to bid farewell to the show, with the fourth season set to be it’s last.

“I don’t know if I’m ready to let you go,” Jiménez said of Wrong Side of the Tracks, and I’m sure fans feel the same.
