Clint's son has had some practice ... he played a pro bull rider in the chick flick, "The Longest Ride." And, of course, his dad played a cowboy in a ton of his flicks, so it's no surprise really Scott's a natural.

Cara Delevingne and her musician bae St. Vincent, took their relationship to the next level -- doing the wedding date thing, and it looks like the best decision the indie pop rocker ever made.
Cara & St. Vincent (real name Annie Clark) have been dating for more than a year, but finally went public when Cara recently referred to her as her gf in an interview. Perfect timing too, since the couple jetted off to West Texas last weekend for a wedding.
Based on pics from the event ... Cara was the life of the party, as usual. St. Vincent's friend/makeup artist was the one getting married, so Cara was the "plus one."
She wears it well.
Rick Ross to Adrien Broner: Don't Sweat Mayweather ... I Got Your Back
Rick Ross seems to be taking sides in the Floyd Mayweather vs. Adrien Broner beef -- partying with Broner in Miami this weekend ... and TMZ Sports has the footage.
It's interesting ... considering Ross had MAJOR beef with Floyd in the past -- but they seemed to bury the hatchet a few years ago.
Now, with Broner and Mayweather seemingly at war ... Ross seemed to make a pretty statement by allowing Broner into his VIP section at LIV nightclub on Sunday, where he kicked it with DJ Khaled and Lil Wayne.
FYI -- the beef between Ross and Floyd was SUPER HEATED back in the day, with Ross dropping a major diss track ... saying things like "f**k Floyd Mayweather" and calling him another word for a cat.
Ross sent Floyd $10,000 worth of champagne before the Pacquiao fight -- leading many to think the feud was over -- but now that he's hanging with Broner ... should we expect a new diss track??
**WARNING -- DISS TRACK CONTAINS EXPLICIT LANGUAGE**

Chris Duhon DUI Arrest Passed Out In Driver's Seat ... Engine Running
Ex-Duke basketball star Chris Duhon was arrested for extreme DUI on Monday morning after cops found him passed out in his car with the engine running ... TMZ Sports has learned.
Cops responded to a call of a "man down" around 4 AM in Eleanor, West Virginia. Officials say officers found 33-year-old Duhon, who is currently an assistant basketball coach at Marshall, fast asleep in his Ford Escape with the keys still in the ignition.
When they woke him up, cops say they noticed Duhon's eyes were red and his speech was slurred. He was taken to the Putnam County Court House after failing three field sobriety tests.
This is where it gets crazy ... cops say Duhon took a breathalyzer test while getting booked and blew a .202 ... more than TWO AND HALF times the legal limit.
Duhon was released on $1,000 bond and has been suspended by the Marshall athletic department for "violating the department's rules and policies."
Duhon was a stud at Duke from 2000 to 2004 -- winning a national title in 2001 -- and later spent 9 seasons in the NBA.

Johnny Manziel BENCHED ... Demoted to 3rd String
The Cleveland Browns say they're "disappointed" in Johnny Manziel for hitting the club scene during the team's bye week ... and have demoted him from starter to 3rd string QB.
Browns head coach Mike Pettine issued a statement saying, "Josh McCown will be the starting quarterback on Monday night against the Ravens."
"I’m especially disappointed in his actions and behavior because he has been working very hard. The improvements from last year to this year have been tremendous but he still has to consistently demonstrate that he has gained a good understanding of what it takes to be successful at the quarterback position on this level."
"Everyone in this organization wants what is best for Johnny just like we do for every player in our locker room. It goes well beyond the field. We are going to continue to support him in every way possible, but at this point, we’ve decided it’s best to go with Josh as the starter going forward.”
As we previously reported, Manziel hit up at least two clubs in Austin, TX on Thursday and Friday -- partying with bottles of champagne.
It was clearly concerning to Browns brass considering Manziel entered treatment earlier this year after a hard partying streak.
