Riley Green has already confirmed that he’s going to be making his acting debut in a TV show sometime soon, but he has yet to share any specific details. Luckily, some eagle-eyed fans may have just figured out the secret he’s been keeping.

Earlier this week, the trailer for Season 1 of the new Yellowstone spinoff series, MARSHALS, dropped, giving the first look at the action-packed drama set to unfold in the story that finds Luke Grimes reprising his role as Kayce Dutton. The first season will consist of 13 episodes that follow Kayce as he embarks on a new chapter after what appears to be the loss of his wife, Monica (played by Kelsey Asbille), leaving him with just his son Tate (Brecken Merrill).
Based off the scenes strung together in the trailer, he uses his skills as a cowboy and Navy SEAL to join the U.S. Marshals. With all the criminal activity that has moved into Montana, Kayce and his teammates, including Pete Calvin (Logan Marshall-Green), Belle Skinner (Arielle Kebbel), Andrea Cruz (Ash Santos) and Miles Kittle (Tatanka Means), will work together to defend their land.
The tension ramps up when Kayce reconnects with a former SEAL teammate, and together with his Marshal unit, they hunt a bomber threatening Broken Rock Reservation, leading to a high-stakes showdown with an armed anti-government militia.
Amid all the chaos and violence, fans think they spot Riley Green making an appearance during a rare quiet moment around a campfire. The actor, believed to be the country star, wears a cap that hides most of his face, making it hard to confirm. But with a guitar in hand and his recent acknowledgment of his venture into the acting world, it seems likely that it really is him.

Back in December, the Alabama native told Country Now that he had to remain fairly tight lipped about what he had in the works.
“I need to actually sit down and talk to somebody about what I’m allowed to say… I’ll just guess I’m allowed to say that I have done some acting, and it’s a show, and it’s going to be airing sometime fairly soon.”
He also shared that finding time for this exciting new experience was challenging with all his travel and touring, but once on set, it all came pretty naturally to him.
“As far as actually on set acting and kind of being there and getting into that head space, I felt like it came sort of natural to me.”

More recently, Green shared an update that included a pretty undeniable hint about his role in MARSHALS. Speaking with Country Now and other outlets yesterday at the BMI-hosted No. 1 party, he opened up about his growing interest in stepping out of his comfort zone and exploring opportunities that could build his career beyond the stage.
“That may be an avenue for me to dial back my life on the road if I’m doing something else that’s also kind of building my career,” he admitted. “And I certainly think acting can do that. You look at what the shows like Yellowstone have done for the Western lifestyle and how big country music I think is becoming big in other countries because of shows like that. So it’s definitely something I’m interested in and we may or may not see something like that.”
Fans will finally learn the truth as the new Taylor Sheridan-created series unfolds, premiering Sunday, March 1 (8:00–9:00 PM ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network and streaming on Paramount+.
The oldest consecutively family-owned restaurant in the United States is still serving up food, and it may have been the place that invented the chimichanga.
According to Tori, this state of chaos is a new development for her.
“When Dean and I were together and lived together, I was able to have a house that was presentable because he wouldn’t live like that,” she explained.
“We were working at different times,” Tori continued, “so I had downtime when he’d work.”
She admitted: “My busy, chaotic work and children lifestyle is not gonna change.” (Not with that attitude, it won’t)
Tori then revealed: “In fact, in the next year, there’s gonna be things coming up, it’s gonna be escalated.”

Managing her life as a solo parent at this age is an adjustment
“So I need to be on my A game,” Tori emphasized. “And once someone comes in and does all this, yes, I can maintain it if I have someone helping me.”
Amy gently told her: “I do think you need help. This is like, chaos.” It sounds like Tori is overwhelmed by her life in several ways.
Additionally, it sounds like she developed the habit of cleaning for someone else — in this case, for ex-husband Dean McDermott.
If you’re cleaning for someone else, be it your mother, your spouse, your kids, then you’ll only remain tidy as long as they are in the picture.
As with so many things in life, keeping an ordered home requires intrinsic motivation. You need to want to keep your home in order on your own terms.
(But also, Tori has five children and is a working mom in a single-parent household — not only is this not a moral failing, but it’s an understandable one)

In her annual speech, Alaska’s chief justice of the Supreme Court told lawmakers the state is making significant progress on the court’s backlog of criminal cases, but there is more work to be done.

Susan Carney gave the annual State of the Judiciary address to members of the Legislature on Monday. She is now in the second year of her term as chief justice, presiding over the five-member Alaska Supreme Court.
Carney has practiced law in Alaska for over 40 years, and has served on the Supreme Court since 2016, when she was appointed by Gov. Bill Walker. She’s the second woman to serve in the role as chief justice, leading Alaska’s first female-majority Supreme Court.
“We have eliminated the pandemic backlog,” she said. “But I told you last year, and I’ll reiterate to you today, that our work isn’t done.”
Alaska’s court system has grappled with significant pre-trial delays, with some defendants and victims languishing for years before court rulings — as highlighted by investigative reporting from the Anchorage Daily News and ProPublica. The time to resolve the most serious criminal cases, such as murder and sexual assault, has nearly tripled in the last decade, reporters found.
“It’s not comfortable to have the press focus on a few extremely sad but also extremely unusual cases, but it’s valuable for us,” Carney said in her address. “I know that the cases with extreme delay are outliers compared to the vast majority of criminal cases and the time it takes to resolve them, but it’s still heartbreaking to think of the anguish that victims suffer and the problems that delays cause to everybody involved.”
Carney said pending criminal cases ballooned during the COVID pandemic to over 20,000 cases in 2023, which she said was unprecedented. She said with focused efforts, and the legislature’s approved raises for state attorneys, the courts are making progress. “There are now fewer than 11,000 open criminal cases,” she said.
Last year, the Supreme Court ordered limits on continuances, or time extensions granted by judges, in order to limit delays and speed up court proceedings. The order required that there be no more than 270 days of new delays for criminal cases filed in 2022 or before.
“Our order addressed continuance requests because judges are not the ones that delayed cases. Delays happen when an attorney, whether on the defense or prosecution side, asks for more time to prepare for a hearing or to file some kind of document,” Carney said. “And the judge grants that request.”
Carney said the order requires all requests to be made on the record or documented in writing, and judges are given guidelines for making rulings on whether to grant delays. “For example, a medical emergency will almost always be a good cause to put off a case, but negotiations with the other side will just about never be a good cause.”
She said as a result, the number of pending felony cases in criminal court has dropped by more than half.
“On January 1, 2023 there were 1,677 pending felonies, more than two years old. That was nearly one out of every four pending felony cases,” she said “This year, on January 1, 2026 we had fewer than 750 pending felonies over two years old. This is great progress.”
Carney emphasized that criminal cases are complex, and continuing the effort to reduce the backlog requires work from everyone involved — from juries and witnesses, to prosecutors and defense attorneys. “We continue to work with the prosecution and the defense agencies so that we can all keep cutting down the time it takes to move cases through the criminal justice system,” she said.
Carney noted criminal cases make up roughly 30% of all cases in state courts, and the 70% that are civil cases — which can be divorces, child custody, or foster care decisions — are highly emotional and can take extra time and care from judges as well.
“When people come to a courthouse, they are generally having their worst day ever, and they’re going through very challenging and often life changing circumstances. We work hard every day to provide not only fair and reasonable decisions, but to recognize the difficulties that Alaskans are having when they come into our courthouses and to explain and to help them feel heard and feel that we understand them,” she said.
Moving forward, Carney said the courts have requested one new Superior Court judge in Palmer to address the growing case load of the Matanuska-Susitna Borough’s growing population. The four judges based in Palmer are handling an average of 683 cases per judge, compared to a statewide average of 458 cases per judge, according to state data.
“They are the busiest in the state, and they have been the busiest each of the last five years,” she said, adding that judges from Anchorage to Valdez have stepped in to relieve the burden.
“This is mostly for criminal and Child in Need of Aid cases, but that leaves all the other kinds of cases — the divorces, the custody business matters — just waiting,” she said. “We do not want to clear out all the oldest criminal cases only to find a similarly problematic group of old civil cases causing our new crisis.”
Rep. Andrew Gray, D-Anchorage, who chairs the House Judiciary Committee, after the speech questioned whether just one more judge is enough. “The idea that we just need one judge is, I find, a little bit conservative. I think we might need more judges,” he said.
Gray has called for the state to expand the number of prosecutors and public defenders. He said imposed timelines for trials is a concern, with overburdened attorneys carrying high case loads, and can risk a mistrial and more delays.
“Our prosecutors and our public defenders have too many cases. We need more of them. We need to lower their caseloads,” he said. “That’s going to improve these timelines the most, and ensure that folks are getting the best lawyer available who’s fully prepared and ready to do the work.”
Carney, in an interview after the address, said the request for the Palmer Superior Court is the focus for now. “Bringing in another judge will, I think, at the very least, mean that we don’t have to keep bringing judges from other places,” she said. “I think it will allow us to keep even at this point.”
Lawmakers are now considering House Bill 262, which would expand the number of judges, which passed the House Judiciary Committee on Monday. If the bill becomes law, the Alaska Judicial Council would put forward recommendations for a new state judge that would then be approved by the governor.

President Donald Trump on Thursday continued to personally attack Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt over a debacle regarding the upcoming annual governors’ weekend in Washington.
“We will soon have a Governor in Oklahoma who knows how to accurately write a Press Release to the Public, in this case, to state that I invited, not happily, almost all Democrat Governors to the Governor’s Dinner at the White House,” Trump wrote in a Thursday Truth Social post. “Stitt, a wiseguy, knew this, but tried to get some cheap publicity by stating otherwise.”
Trump’s latest criticism against the Republican comes after Stitt, who serves as chair of the National Governors Association, became embroiled in a back-and-forth over whether Democrats would be invited to the routinely bipartisan governors event. Stitt at one point announced that a bipartisan business meeting with the president would be removed from the NGA’s agenda for the weekend because the White House said Democrats would be excluded from the event.
After a conversation with Trump, Stitt informed governors on Wednesday that all governors would be invited to the meeting, attributing the dispute to a “misunderstanding in scheduling,” according to a letter viewed by POLITICO.
But that wasn’t enough to salve the president’s displeasure: In a Wednesday afternoon social media post — after Democrats had begun receiving invitations to the meeting — Trump took to Truth Social to lament that “as usual with him, Stitt got it WRONG!”
All governors were welcome at the event, Trump wrote, except two Democrats: Colorado Gov. Jared Polis and Maryland Gov. Wes Moore — the latter of whom had already received a formal invitation to the meeting at the time of the post, according to a person familiar with the matter.
In the Thursday morning post, Trump took credit for Stitt’s victory in his last race for governor, writing that the Republican “was massively behind his Opponent in his previous Election for Governor” and “called me to ask for help.”
Trump added: “I Endorsed him (Barely!), and he won his Race,” but the president eagerly anticipated the arrival of the governor’s successor. Stitt is term-limited and cannot seek another term when his current one expires in 2027.
A spokesperson for Stitt’s office did not immediately respond to a request for comment, and a spokesperson for the NGA declined to comment on the post.
Stitt’s position atop the NGA has put him at odds with the president on at least one other occasion, when the Oklahoma Republican broke with his party to criticize the administration’s cross-state National Guard deployments last year.
The dispute regarding the upcoming NGA weekend has reignited tensions within the association, with 18 Democratic governors vowing to boycott a bipartisan dinner over the White House’s handling of the invitations.
With regard to the event, Trump wrote Thursday: “I’ll see whoever shows up at the White House, the fewer the better!”

Thankfully, police now appear to be zeroing in on a possible kidnapping suspect.
The first major break in the case came earlier this week, when investigators obtained video of a masked man at Nancy’s door on the night of her abduction.

No part of the man was visible except for his eyes and facial hair, but the video was revealing in other ways.
For one, the suspect appears to be an amateur rather than a career criminal (at one point, he attempts to cover up the lens of Nancy’s Nest camera using shrubbery plucked from her yard).
And now, investigators have used details of the suspect’s clothing and accessories to trace his activity in the days leading up to the disappearance.
As TMZ reports, the suspect’s backpack — a Walmart Ozark Trail Hiker — has been especially useful as a source of information.
Using security cameras from Nancy’s neighbors, police were able to find footage of a man wearing what appears to be the same backpack just minutes before Nancy was abducted.

The footage was shot at 1:53 am on the morning of February 1, and it shows the suspect trying unsuccessfully to force open a gate and enter a backyard.
Nancy’s Nest camera was activated by the presence of the man at her door at 2:12 am.
That means the suspect would have had 19 minutes to drive the five miles, put on his mask, and approach the door.
It seems unlikely that two men were prowling around Tucson with similar-looking backpacks on the same night — meaning the guy who was tampering with the gate was probably the same guy who was seen outside Nancy’s house.

So the good news is that the police are that much closer to zeroing in on their man.
The bad news is that if the man was out prowling in search of easy targets, he’s probably not an experienced kidnapper — which means it’s less likely that Nancy is alive and well and being held for ransom somewhere.
As Nancy’s daughter — Today show anchor Savannah Guthrie — has pointed out in her pleas to the public, Nancy is 84 years old and relies on a pacemaker and multiple daily medications.

Russell Dickerson and his wife, Kailey, have always enjoyed celebrating Valentine’s Day in a simpler fashion, especially back when money was tight. Even now, they’ve discovered that flowers, fancy dinners, or big achievements aren’t what matter most at the end of the day, and that lesson lives at the heart of Dickerson’s new song, “The Roses.”
The country star recently hosted a special Galentine’s Day celebration, offering curated cocktails, bouquets and the chance to sit down with him and Kailey to learn more about their love story and the true sentiment behind his latest release.

With Valentine’s Day just around the corner, they were asked how they plan to celebrate the love-filled holiday this year. Kailey chimed in first, explaining that since they were “so poor” at the start of their relationship, Valentine’s Day was never about grand gestures or pricey dinners. Instead, they found meaningful, intimate ways to celebrate their love that were both special and budget-friendly. Flowers, however, are a must for the mom of two.
“It can be so expensive to go out to a restaurant. So we always did a stay-in thing. Even when we had nothing, we would be like, ‘okay, we’re at least getting steaks tonight,’” she explained. “And he always gets flowers. He is romantic, but Valentine’s is not a big to do for us.”
She added, “We’re kind of low key about it. I do expect flowers though, for sure.”
Much like their Valentine’s Day celebrations, Russell Dickerson has found that true happiness comes from the smallest things in life. That’s exactly the message he sends in “The Roses.” Written by the Tennessee native with Chase McGill, Jordan Schmidt, and Michael Hardy, the warm and romantic tune comes to life with a stunning piano arrangement.

Dickerson explained to Country Now and other outlets that while the message behind the song certainly points to how much he loves his wife, he also tried to dig a bit deeper with “The Roses.”
“I used to think I wanted to be this whole, huge, biggest thing ever and do all this and I’ve just really felt that more and more, the farther down this road I get, I’m like, as long as we have this and we have our family and I can continue to provide this great life for us, I don’t have to be the biggest artist in the world and sell out Madison Square Garden 12 nights in a row. One will be fine. Maybe two. I’ll take two,” he joked.
The “Happen To Me” singer leans into those heartfelt emotions with vocals that simultaneously feel both tender and powerful. Instead of chasing fame or larger-than-life goals, Dickerson highlights the fulfillment he feels from simply being present with the ones he loves. He goes on to reflect on how he once dreamed of making a name for himself and maybe even landing in a hall of fame, but he soon discovers that finding his partner shifted his perspective on life completely.
“You be the roses, I’ll be the vase/ You be the starry night in the spotlight and, girl, I’ll be the frame/ I swear if it’s the only thing in life I get to do/ I’m just fine long as I’m holding you/ I’m just fine long as I’m holding you,” Dickerson sings on the chorus.
As “The Roses” connects with listeners, Dickerson’s latest radio single, “Worth Your Wild,” becomes his 10th career track to climb the Billboard and Mediabase Country charts. Additionally, he’s gearing up for a major hometown show at Nashville’s Ascend Amphitheater on May 8.
The performance is fittingly called “Nash-Birthday Bash,” as it’s set to take place the day after his birthday. It will serve as a celebration that promises “cakes, candles, and carnage,” as well as a must-see performance from Russell Dickerson himself, alongside a stacked lineup featuring Tyler Hubbard, Adrien Nunez, and Kevin Powers.
After a string of festival dates, Russell Dickerson will kick off his RUSSELLMANIA TOUR 2026 on April 23 in Raleigh, NC, taking over amphitheaters and the biggest stages of his career to date.
