https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E0D2_jhgtwE Still the King debuts on CMT tonight at 9p and it is funny look at the life of a one hit wonder years after his song came out.
Vernon Brownmule (Billy Ray Cyrus) had a big hit 20 years ago and he’s still living that wacky Rock star lifestyle. Only problem is that he doesn’t have the money and most people don’t remember who he is. Even though, he isn’t any where near as famous, he still acts like he is. So much so, he gets drunk one night, crashes his car in to a Church’s sign and finds himself in jail.
When he finally gets out, he is put on probation and can’t leave Tennessee. Not only can’t he leave, he finds out that he owes 15 years of back child support to a daughter he never knew he had. To make matters worse, he has to do community service at the Church he damaged.
The Church has a new minister starting there, but the Congregation has never met him. When Vernon finds out how much they make, he pretends to be that Minister. He then recruits his former band member’s son Walt (Travis Nicholson) to be his right hand man and help get him out of trouble. Which will be most of the time. Each week, it gets crazier and crazier and funnier to watch him try to save his butt again.
What is Vernon doing with the money he is earning from the Congregation? He is using it to pay his back child support so he can get to know his daughter (Madison Iseman) and reconnect with her mother (Joey Lauren Adams). Neither woman wants anything to do with him.
Will that change? Will he change? We will just have to watch this hilarious show each week to find out.
If you are like me and love shows that depict the Rock star lifestyle as wild as you imagine it to be, then you are going to love this show as much as I do.
Almost as much as you love Vernon. Cyrus plays him so horribly and yet so lovable, you can’t help but to love him and the show.
Have you been wanting to see someone beat up Billy Ray Cyrus since you heard Achy Breaky Heart for the 1 millionth time? Well, you will finally see someone give him the take down of a lifetime and that person is CHiPs Erik Estrada. Plus, it is better than you could’ve ever dreamed of.
When you will see the thing of beauty? Sometime after Miley Cyrus’ dad’s show Still the King debuts on CMT June 12th.
In all seriousness, Still the King looks so wacky, fun and outrageous that I can’t wait to see it. It looks like such a hootenanny, you might forget how much you hate his one hit wonder.
Actually, I feel bad about being mean to Billy Ray because I really like him and that song, and I am sincerely looking forward to this zany show!
Billy Ray Cyrus Tweeted this photo of Jared Leto and him at the iHeartRadio awards yesterday and I couldn’t get over how much they looked alike. With both of them having that long hair brown scraggly hair, the full beards and the shades, you’d almost think that they are related as compared to Billy Ray and hid daughter, Miley Cyrus. I’m not trying to cause his achy breaky heart to break again, I just can’t get over the resemblance. Don’t you think they could be father and son, or least brothers?
Billy Ray Cyrus updated his hit Achy Breaky Heart with a rapper by the name of Buck 22 and I really don’t know what to say about their music video for it. I mean it is so weird, so f*cked up, basically it is just so awful. I seriously don’t know what I just watched, but I wish I could get the images out of my achy breaky head. They just won’t go away.
Billy Ray Cyrus Tweeted the above photo and said, “Workin on the final edit of the new video. Stoped ontime code 2 22 02 @buck22music. Street date 1 22”. As soon as I saw that picture, I thought that is something his daughter, Miley Cyrus, would wear in one of her videos. Although that is a lot more fabric than she wore on that Wrecking Ball. How much more clothing did the women wear in Buck 22’s music video? Well as you can see below, not a whole lot more.
