‘Leather Tour’ all over North America in early 2024, country star Cody Johnson is coming back for seconds.From May through November, the “Son of a Ramblin’ Man” singer announced he will return to the road for more concerts at stadiums, arenas and festivals in the U.S. and Canada.While he won’t hit New York or New Jersey on this upcoming run, CoJo will get close when he performs at Philadelphia’s Wells Fargo Center on Friday, Nov.

revised its policy to comply with Trump’s executive order, replacing references to a student’s “gender” with sex. It removed principals’ authority to make a final determination regarding a student’s sex and allowed a school to determine it (presumably based on the gender marker on school records and birth certificates, although the policy lacks specifics).The PIAA’s policy also requires schools to consult with school solicitors to ensure they are complying with the order and keeping transgender athletes from competing on teams that don’t match their assigned sex at birth.The Philadelphia school district, however, said it will continue to comply with its own transgender student policy, known as “Policy 252.”The policy allows students to be addressed by gender-affirming pronouns, access facilities that align with their gender identity, and participate in school activities, including physical education classes and intramural sports, based on their gender identity.It discourages district staff from adopting gendered practices, such as requiring one graduation gown for females and another for males.

Bruce Springsteen, told the crowd at Philadelphia’s Citizens Bank Park during a concert on Friday night.“We’ve been around 50 f—king years and we ain’t quitting!” said Springsteen, 74, dispelling rumors of a farewell tour with the E Street Band.“We ain’t doing no farewell tour bulls—t! Jesus Christ! No farewell tour for the E Street Band!”The rumors of a goodbye trek came after Springsteen was forced to postpone his tour with his beloved band last September due to peptic ulcer disease.

Thousands of people screaming your name? Yeah, I wanna quit that,” said a smiling Springsteen, beckoning cheers from the audience by putting his hand to his ear: “That’s it.

For the Roots rapper Black Thought, the pastoral pleasure of playing SummerStage in Central Park is a no-brainer. “It’s classic New York — or old New York, as people sort of refer to it — in its energy and the vibe,” the 50-year-old frontman told The Post about the Rumsey Playfield concert series that the Roots will headline on Friday night as part of their Hip-Hop Is the Love of My Life Tour (with openers Jungle Brothers and Digable Planets).“Every time I’ve played SummerStage — even as a young person earlier in my career — it’s always felt just phenomenal,” he said.

Bradley Cooper was writing the script on besties becoming boos.The Cooper Opinion — in a 1993 column titled “When best friends cross the line” — was published in the “Fresh Ink” teen section of the Philadelphia Daily News when the actor was a high school senior at Germantown Academy in the Philly suburbs of Fort Washington, Pennsylvania.I know this because I was the young editor, barely out of college myself, who helped Cooper find his pen game when he was a lovesick lacrosse player.“Can best friends who are of the opposite sex hook up with each other without destroying their friendship?” he wrote.Then — with an appropriate paragraphic pause for dramatic effect — he added, “In my case, yes … so far.”As if he was already ready to write his own personal “When Harry Met Sally” about his relationship plot twist with his senior prom date Deborah Landes, Cooper got real about how “suddenly you start to hate that guy she always told you was hot” and about how “once college hits, our relationship will definitely return to a ‘best friendship.’”Long before Cooper, 48, started working his baby blues on the the leading lady likes of Jennifer Lawrence, Lady Gaga and, currently, Carey Mulligan — in “Maestro” his Leonard Bernstein biopic that began streaming on Netflix this week — the baby heartthrob was already in his romantic feelings.“There has always been an underlying attraction between the two of us,” he wrote.But then he continued to get into the conflicted heart of it all: “Before, we could never fathom the idea of being more than just friends, especially because she was involved in a relationship with a friend of mine.
