Chris Young Brings ‘Famous Friends’ to Life With New Nashville Bar on Demonbreun Street

Chris Young is stepping into an exciting new chapter with the announcement of his very own Nashville bar, Famous Friends.

Named after his chart-topping hit “Famous Friends” with Kane Brown, the new venue will be located on Demonbreun Street, just steps away from the popular Tin Roof. Designed as a laid-back sports bar, the spot promises a relaxed atmosphere for fans and locals alike.

“Good vibes is really what I’m aiming for with this place,” he explained. “If you call a place Famous Friends and you listen to that song, what is that all about? It’s about people who are all different and doing different things. I want a place where everybody can hang out and just enjoy themselves.”

He continued, “I want people to be able to go in there, enjoy whatever their game is, whether if they’re an Eagles fan. I want you to be able to have your  game on and watch your game and talk crap to each other, but be polite and just  have a good time. Good vibes is really a thing that I’m aiming for for this place, because if you call a place Famous Friends and you listen to that song,  what is that all about? It’s all about people that are different. They all do different things, but I want a place for everybody to be able to hang out and  just enjoy themselves.”

Famous Friends is nearly complete, however, an opening date has yet to be announced. The location of the bar was picked specifically as it holds a special place in Young’s heart.  

”Demonbreun is definitely a place that I spent a lot of time. I lived over there for a while, and so, I’ve seen it change so much. I’ve walked up and down that street going to and from writes a billion times. I’ve seen people on their way up as artists playing in a lot of those spots over there and they’ve changed a lot over the years, but this is a place that I’ve got a lot of great memories. Me and Shay Mooney from Dan + Shay singing at the top of our lungs in some of those places for no reason whatsoever,” he shared. “You know, little memories like that that I think are important. And I think that that street has always been very important to Nashville. Being able to create another spot there, and hopefully a spot that people love and love to go to,  hopefully people remember it for a long time.”

This project is something the “Young Love & Saturday Nights” singer admitted this is something he’s wanted to do for “years.” 

”This for me was just a passion project. It was just something else — not that I’m not already as busy as I could possibly be — I decided I wanted to do one more thing, but’ it’s been on my mind for years now. I’ve been looking for the right place, and I just happened to find it,” he said. “A lot of people go to that area and just hang out. I wanted to be able to offer something a little  bit different and also have a place where maybe we’ll throw some number-one  parties there. Maybe we’ll have some private events there. Maybe we’ll do a  little bit of everything, but also have a place specifically for me, just my  love of music and my love of sports. That’s going to be the walls of this place.”

Meanwhile, the Middle Tennessee native is making waves on the charts, as his latest single, “Til The Last One Dies,” breaks into the Top 20.

Demi Lovato Alarms Fans With Scary ‘Shaking’ Video

Reading Time: 3 minutes

Is Demi Lovato okay?

Whether they’re sharing a message of hope in these dark times or making it official with husband Jutes, Demi communicates with fans.

When the beloved singer appeared to tremble on camera, fans expressed concerns.

Demi is assuring them that it isn’t as scary as it seems.

Demi Lovato’s cooking video features a chicken recipe … and trembling hands

In a recent video on TikTok, Demi Lovato showed herself roasting a whole chicken.

They are not the first pop star to try their hand in the kitchen on camera, and it can be a fun way for fans to learn how to cook.

“Today we are making a whole roasted chicken,” she said during the video. “It seems really overwhelming, but it’s not.”

They promised: “We’re gonna have fun, and I’m telling myself this because I feel overwhelmed.”

@ddlovato

On ✨Cooking With Demi✨ we are all about facing our fears. Today we did that by trying out a recipe for a whole roasted chicken. It wasn’t pretty at times, but it wasn’t nearly as overwhelming as I thought it would be and I’m really proud to have this recipe in my back pocket now 🖤 INGREDIENTS: 1 3 3/4 to 4 pound chicken 1 lemon Kosher salt 1 1/2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme, plus 10 sprigs 1 teaspoon garlic powder 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 2 or 3 carrots, peeled and cut in chunks 1 medium yukon gold potato, cut in chunks 3 garlic cloves, smashed and peeled ½ small onion 1 stalk celery 5 or 6 ¾-inch slices of a baguette 2 big handfuls of baby arugula 1 tablespoon vinegar

♬ original sound – Demi Lovato

One of the hiccups during the video was Demi Lovato accidentally turning on the stovetop instead of the oven. Whoops!

“I’m just nervous!” she admitted to viewers.

They also expressed a bit of disgust at the raw chicken, particularly while removing the innards.

This is when Demi’s hands seemed to visibly shake.

Is Demi Lovato okay?

Trembling hands can be a sign of many things, including nervousness.

However, given Demi Lovato’s medical history, many fans are inclined to fear the worst.

Several years ago, they nearly died — and had a prolonged stay in the hospital.

Numerous commenters expressed these worries, with one writing: “I’m afraid of seeing her shaking that hard.”

Demi Lovato saw the worries, and wrote a comment of their own: “I’m okay! I promise.”

She added more in the video’s caption:

“On Cooking With Demi we are all about facing our fears. Today we did that by trying out a recipe for a whole roasted chicken.”

Demi acknowledged: “It wasn’t pretty at times, but it wasn’t nearly as overwhelming as I thought it would be and I’m really proud to have this recipe in my back pocket now.”

What causes shaky hands?

Caffeine, stress, sleepiness, and many more extremely common factors can cause hands to tremble.

On the other hand, there are neurological conditions that can cause shaking hands.

So can medications, certain drugs, and even genetic disorders.

But someone filming themselves doing an anxiety-inducing activity like cooking is a very valid cause for anxiety. Especially with so many innards involved. We’re glad to hear that Demi is doing well.

Federal law doesn’t mandate minimum amounts of logging in Alaska’s Tongass rainforest, judge says

A federal judge in Alaska has rejected a lawsuit that sought to reinstate a management plan that would allow heavier logging in the world’s largest temperate old-growth rainforest.

The result leaves an Obama-era management plan in place, but it could be short-lived: The administration of President Donald Trump is already at work on a new plan that could allow more logging in Alaska’s Tongass National Forest. 

In an order published Friday, Judge Sharon Gleason dismissed the lawsuit filed by Viking Lumber, Alcan Timber and the Alaska Forest Association. 

The three groups sued the U.S. Department of Agriculture — the parent organization of the U.S. Forest Service — last year, alleging in part that the federal Tongass Timber Reform Act of 1990 required the Forest Service to offer enough timber sales to meet market demand.

Gleason ruled otherwise, finding that TTRA does not impose “a mandatory duty” on the Forest Service to ensure that market demand is met by Tongass timber sales.

“Whether the harvest levels are designed to actually meet market demand is a discretionary agency action, not a mandatory requirement imposed by the TTRA on the Forest Service,” she wrote.

Gleason also declined to take up plaintiffs’ argument about whether the Forest Service violated the Administrative Procedures Act, and she ruled that a 2021 announcement about Tongass strategy did not amount to formal rulemaking under law. She did not analyze whether it would have met legal standards if it had been a formal rulemaking process.

Plaintiffs were represented by Pacific Legal Foundation, which on Friday said that the Forest Service’s approach has been devastating to plaintiffs.

Kyle Griesinger, a spokesperson for the foundation, said that even with a new management plan in the works, the case isn’t moot because the old plan remains in effect until superceded.

“And, moreover, the Forest Service has not lived up to the 2016 plan so any new plan they may not live up to is no guarantee for our clients,” he said.

Marlee Goska, an attorney for the Center for Biological Diversity, agreed that last week’s ruling still has merit. 

Goska was one of several attorneys who represented tribal, tourism, fishing and environmental groups that intervened on the side of the Department of Agriculture. 

“I don’t think we have enough information yet to say the Forest Service is going to implement what the plaintiffs want. And certainly we’ll fight tooth and nail to stop that from happening,” she said of the upcoming plan change.

Goska added that last week’s ruling is important because it shows that the Forest Service does not have to meet market demand under existing law, and it shows that federal law doesn’t draw a distinction between old-growth harvests and new-growth ones.

“To the extent this administration and the Forest Service might be thinking about saying the TTRA mandates large old-growth timber sales to meet market demand, the court has already said that is incorrect,” she said.

Gleason published a final judgment on Friday. Plaintiffs have 30 days to file an appeal.
