Loretta Lynn In 'Great Spirits' After Breaking Hip at Home — as Family Jokingly Blames New Puppy for Fall SARAH MICHAUD  and  PERRI ORMONT BLUMBERG January 08, 2018 06:15 PM Loretta Lynn  is recovering after  breaking her hip in a fall at her home  on Jan. 1. “She had an accident on New Year’s Day and fractured her hip,” Lynn’s daughter Patsy tells PEOPLE exclusively. “At my mom’s age it’s so dangerous when it comes to the hip, so we’re all just grateful she seems to be okay. She’s up putting weight on it and starting her rehab now.” A furry new friend may have been the cause of the 85-year-old country legend’s fall, her daughter reveals. “She has a new puppy — we don’t really know if she was chasing after the puppy or what, but she slid and fractured her hip. We blame the puppy!” says Patsy with a laugh. “Though the puppy brings smiles so there’s that.” Lynn had been making great strides in  recovering from her May 2017 stroke ...

Why Keith Urban Is Living His Morals "The Girls See That," He Says by  alison bonaguro   1/8/2018 It sounds like  Keith Urban  and Nicole Kidman’s daughters Sunday and Faith are already little advocates for women’s rights. At Sunday night’s (Jan. 7)  Golden Globes , the couple walked the red carpet to talk about the hot topic of the night: the Time’s Up initiative that is committed to correcting the power imbalance between men and women and fighting the systemic sexual harassment that exists in all kinds of workplaces. Urban told  ET  that he and Kidman always try to set a good example at home with their daughters. “Hopefully Nic and I are living our morals…and the girls see that,” Urban said. “They’re also fortunate to have the grandmothers they do and be able to watch them and see how they live.” Kidman admitted, both on the red carpet and during the show, that her mother has always set a good example for her. “My mother was a...

Some people might have thought it was crazy doing what  Whitney Rose  did in 2015—that is, to uproot herself and more or less blindly relocate to Austin. “I was mostly excited,” she recalls of the move. “Obviously, I was also intimidated, because I had no idea what I was getting into. I had never even been to Austin as a visitor. I had never even been to Texas. So that was a little daunting.” It’s been a long journey for an artist who grew up on the far-northern Prince Edward Island, raised by a single mother and her grandparents in a household where Patsy Cline, Hank Williams, and Johnny Cash became her prime influences. Rose didn’t get her first guitar until her 27th birthday, but kindled by her expanding musical interests, the residue of a failed relationship, and a move to Toronto, her artistic ambitions quickly took flight. Her three albums to date—a 2012 self-titled debut, 2015‘s  Heartbreaker of the Year  and  Rule 62 , released this past Octo...
