6. Ted Nugent Says Kid Rock is Not Running for Senate
If you're getting hyped for KID ROCK's Senate run next year, DON'T. According to TED NUGENT, it's not happening.
He says, quote, "Somebody write this down: Kid Rock ain't running for squat, Some goofball in the Michigan GOP just pulled it out of their ass and said, 'What about Kid Rock?'
"Kid Rock's rocking and rolling, he's touring, he's writing songs, he's recording, he's got a full-time job and he's a great man . . . But that the GOP and the media continue to milk this nonsense is one of the most embarrassing chapters for the Republican party."
7. "MTV Unplugged" Will Return September 8th with Shawn Mendes
MTV's revival of "Unplugged" begins on September 8th with SHAWN MENDES. Mendes got excited to be on the show after seeing PEARL JAM's appearance from 1992 even though he wasn't alive when it originally aired. He's only 19.
Shawn says, quote, "It wasn't so much about the commercial, showman side of it; It was really about the music." There's no word who else MTV has lined up for the season.
It'll be interesting to see if any of these young bucks can replicate the show's most iconic moments, including the heavyweight champion of them all: LL Cool J's "Mama Said Knock You Out".
