Bruce Springsteen "smelt strongly of alcohol" and "had glassy eyes" when he was accused of driving drunk last year, according to a National Park Service ranger’s report. But actor Alec Baldwin suspects the rocker known as "The Boss" may have been issued a summons for other reasons. "I wonder if Springsteen’s arrest [sic] had anything to do with his politics," Baldwin wrote on Twitter on Wednesday. Baldwin cited no evidence for his suspicion – one of several celebrity reactions after the normally squeaky-clean Springsteen drew attention for his run-in with the law. BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN DWI POTENTIALLY MORE SERIOUS BECAUSE ALLEGED OFFENSE OCCURRED AT A NATIONAL PARK: EXPERT Like Baldwin, Springsteen has long been associated with liberal views and causes.

Upon announcing "Love Story" on Thursday's Good Morning America, Swift also revealed that she has re-recorded Fearless as Fearless (Taylor's Version), featuring "6 never-before-released songs from the vault." While she did not officially announce the release date of the re-recorded version of Fearless, strange capitalizations in her note spell out "April 9th"; Billboard has confirmed with Swift's rep that April 9 is the release date for the re-recorded album.

Kirkconnell, who's a contestant on the current season of the long-running reality series, has faced accusations of racism since last month, when photos surfaced of her attending a fraternity formal with an antebellum plantation theme in 2018.

My age or when it happened doesn't excuse anything," she said in a statement Thursday afterno...
