What’s Trending? Opening Day, Dolly & Katy, and Kesha

The MLB season launched Sunday with an appetizer of games, concluding with the Royals besting the Mets in a World Series rematch.

Jason Aldean didn’t think it was in the cards for him to win entertainer of the year at the Academy of Country Music Awards.  He beat out Miranda Lambert, Luke Bryan, Garth Brooks and Eric Church for that honor.

Dolly Parton picked up the Tex Ritter Award, for her hit movie, “Coat Of Many Colors.” She then took to the stage with Katy Perry to perform the song the movie was based on, before the duo ripped into “Jolene” and “9 to 5.” Perry has some Nashville roots. She cut a contemporary christian album in the Music City before going pop.

Even superheroes have their weaknesses. Word of mouth may be kryptonite for the movie “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.” The latest box office numbers show the movie dropped 68-percent of its haul during its second weekend in theaters. There’s usually a drop off between week one and week two – but this decline is quite steep. Still, Batman v Superman won the box office race with a second week total of more than 52-million dollars.
