HAPPY 98TH BIRTHDAY, DICK VAN DYKE!

CHARLES ESTEN • It’s been more than 10 years in the making, but the Nashville star, 58, is releasing his debut album, Love Ain’t Pretty (on sale Jan. 26), which began taking shape when he first arrived in Music City to take on the role of Deacon Claybourne. Esten, who cowrote all 14 songs with some of Nashville’s best songwriters, has released several singles since that time, but this is his first compilation of songs that explores life, love and the passing of time through the lens of a traveled and tested everyman.

The Parade Don’t Miss List

WHAT CELEBS EAT • In years past Parade magazine produced “What America Eats” cover stories every fall. Each issue looked at the year’s food trends and had a celebrity posing with the food of the hour. Fruits and veggies, pizza and sandwiches were the most frequent stars. And then there was Donald Trump with a very big lobster.
