STORYLINE:
The Illinois Supreme Court will hear an appeal of actor Jussie Smollett’s disorderly conduct conviction.

The “Empire” actor was convicted for staging a racist and homophobic attack against himself in 2019 and lying to Chicago police.

Taylor Swift’s father will not be charged over a photographer's claim that Scott Swift assaulted him in Sydney Feb. 27.

Police investigated and said that “no further police action” would be taken. The statement said that “no offences were detected.”

Beyoncé shared the track list for her forthcoming album, “Act ll: Cowboy Carter,” which arrives Friday, on her Instagram account.

Country stars Linda Martell, Willie Nelson and “Dolly P” are all mentioned, likely a reference to Dolly Parton and a track titled “Jolene.”
