Legendary “American Pie” singer Don McLean had some words of criticism for Prince Harry after the former working royal family member criticized Elvis Presley’s former residence in his 2023 memoir, “Spare.” “Dark, claustrophobic. I walked around saying, ‘The King lived here, you say? Really?’” the Duke of Sussex wrote after visiting Graceland in Memphis. Harry said he stood “in one tiny room with loud furniture and shag carpet and thought, ‘The King’s interior designer must have been on acid.’” When the memoir first came out, McLean expressed his outrage on X. “Prince Harry should shut his mouth about Graceland and Elvis. He is a hot house orchid, a show horse who never did a thing,” he wrote at the time.  The musician just expanded on those thoughts in a new interview, telling The Daily Mail, “[Prince Harry] doesn’t understand that Elvis is like the poor man’s king. He came from nowhere and his recordings are among the greatest ever made.” “His family were as poor as they could be and Harry criticized Elvis’s home as if he’s comparing it to Buckingham Palace, and that misses the point completely,” McLean added. “Here’s a fellow who has been brought up to be mannerly, but you don’t criticize America when you’re living here as our guest.” “He just doesn’t get America,” the singer-songwriter added. Despite performing one of the most well-known and hotly debated songs of the 20th century, which McLean still receives six-figure royalty checks for, the 78-year-old performer is still making music. He just released a new album, “American Boys.” He also told The Daily Mail that while he “never [has] to work again,” he’ll still perform shows as long as it’s not a lengthy tour. “I’ll go over for two or three shows. I love the British audience,” he told the outlet.  McLean also said he’s living comfortably. When asked if his estimated net worth of $40 million was accurate, the musician replied, “That figure is very low. It’s actually more than double that.” He added, “I own my records, books, trademarks, everything. And I’m a bond investor so I could use the money I’m worth and make probably a billion dollars; but the way I feel, I’ve been so lucky to make the money I’ve made that I’m really happy where I am.”

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) got into a heated spat with Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) during a Thursday committee hearing, referring to the Georgia congresswoman condescendingly as “baby girl” and demanding she “strike” her words. The tiff began as the House Oversight Committee met to discuss holding Attorney General Merrick Garland in contempt of Congress for refusing to turn over audio of President Joe Biden’s interview with Special Counsel Robert Hur in his classified documents probe — a subpoena the White House blocked by citing “executive privilege.” Greene sparked the ire of Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) when she asked whether any Democrats had employed the daughter of Judge Juan Merchan — who is currently presiding over former President Donald Trump’s Manhattan hush money trial — a political consultant whose firm has worked for Rep. Dan Goldman (D-NY). “I’d like to know if any of the Democrats on this committee are employing Judge Merchan’s daughter,” Greene began. “Please tell me what that has to do with Merrick Garland,” Crockett objected. “Oh, Goldman. That’s right. He’s advising. Ok,” Greene continued. “Do you know what we’re here for? Do you know we’re here —” Crockett tried again. After a little bit of back and forth, Greene took a shot at Crockett: “I think your fake eyelashes are messing up your –” “Hold on! Hold on! Order,” Committee Chair James Comer (R-KY) cut in. “We have a point of order. Mr. Lynch, state your point.” “Mr. Chairman, I would just like to ask the parliamentarian if your conduct here in raising money in connection with this hearing is referable to the Ethics Committee within this hearing. There’s a motion in order to refer your conduct and your abuse –” Rep. Stephen Lynch (D-MA) said, prompting an immediate rebuttal from Comer. “That’s not a point of order,” he said. “I do have a point of order. And I would like to move to take down Ms. Greene’s words,” Ocasio-Cortez said then. “That is absolutely unacceptable! How dare you attack the physical appearance of another person!” “Are your feelings hurt?” Greene asked. “Move her words down!” Ocasio-Cortez shouted. “Aww,” Greene mocked. “Oh! Girl, baby, girl!” Ocasio-Cortez said in condescending tones. “Oh, really?” Greene prodded. “Don’t even play!” from Ocasio-Cortez. “Baby, girl? I don’t think so,” Greene shot back. “We are gonna move and we are gonna take your words down,” Ocasio-Cortez continued. WATCH: Rep. Greene makes fun of Rep. Crockett's fake eyelashes and all hell breaks loose. You have to watch the entire exchange. SNL couldn't create a skit like this: pic.twitter.com/hSzJBRVk08 — End Wokeness (@EndWokeness) May 17, 2024 Greene then agreed to “strike her words” but said that she had no intention of offering the apology Ocasio-Cortez demanded. Greene then suggested that Ocasio-Cortez debate her — an offer the New York congresswoman rejected out of hand. Comer caller for order again, clarifying for the record that Greene would agree to strike her words — although she repeated her prior statement that she would not apologize. CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP Crockett then interjected with another point of order, and took a shot at Greene. “I’m just curious. To better understand your ruling, if someone on this committee then starts talking about somebody’s bleached blonde, bad-built, butch body, that would not be engaging in personalities, correct?” “A what now?” Comer asked, and all hell broke loose for a second time.

Country singer Lainey Wilson said her farmer ancestors passed down their work ethic. The 31-year-old Grammy winner discussed the value of hard work while speaking with Fox News Digital ahead of the 2024 ACM Awards.  “Yes, my parents are, they’re the ones to blame. They’re the ones to blame for all of this,” Wilson joked. “They have truly supported me from the beginning.”  “I truly do think it is from being from a long line of farmers. I mean, on my mom’s side and my daddy’s side. They rolled their sleeves up. They got to work every single day and had good years and bad years, but at the end of the day, they loved it,” the “Yellowstone” actress continued.  Wilson told the outlet, “So that meant that they got up and they did it again, and they’d fall down and they’d do it again. They just had no other option and my daddy has always tried to remind me that he worked really hard, but he’s not just working hard for himself. He’s working hard for me and my sister and my mama and my sister’s kids and one day my kids,” Wilson continued.  The singer-songwriter also said she believes it’s “really important to keep…in mind” that hard work is “just life.”  “It kind of takes a little bit of pressure off of you when you take yourself out of it, I guess it makes working hard a lot easier,” Wilson said. She also explained how her song “Hang Tight Honey” was inspired by her upbringing and her beloved small town of Baskin, Louisiana.  CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP “When I think about who I am today, it truly is because of the place and the people that raised me. It’s always important to tip your hat to those people, and it’s very important for me to remember where I come from,” Wilson told Fox News. “During this crazy time, my life has changed, and I feel like I’m not like I’m not changing, but my life is, if that makes any sense at all. I feel like it’s important for me to remember where I come from and remind myself.”  She went on, “It’s cool that I get to write this music and I get to remind myself of that every single night. At the end of the day, in order for me to be able to tell the kind of stories that I’m supposed to tell and relate to my fans, I got to keep living as normal of a life as I possibly can. That’s why I keep my people close and that’s why I keep the people of Baskin, my town of 200 people, close.”
