The List,
“Country star Megan Moroney just proved she’s not above getting her hands dirty—or glittery. After a show in Athens, Georgia, she helped staff clean up by sweeping up confetti with a dustpan like a sparkly Cinderella. Fans called her a ‘helpful queen,’ and honestly, same—because if I drop glitter at home, it stays there forever. Respect to a woman who can sing a ballad and operate a Swiffer.”

“Alec Baldwin’s new reality show, The Baldwins, is bombing harder than a first date with no Wi-Fi. Only 420,000 people tuned in—which, by TV standards, is like your mom and a couple raccoons. Apparently, Alec even blamed his wife Hilaria for not bringing enough sparkle. Yikes. When your marriage and your ratings are both circling the drain… maybe don’t record it?”

“Over 47,000 people want to rename Nashville’s airport after Dolly Parton. Yes, Dolly Parton International Airport—because nothing says ‘safe landing’ like 9-inch acrylics and rhinestones. Honestly, I’d absolutely fly ‘Departin’ from Parton’ Airlines. The flight attendants would sing you lullabies, and your baggage would come out fully bedazzled.”

“If you’re one of those people quietly rooting for Harry and Meghan to split—first, you’re messy. Second, here’s your gossip: Harry reportedly hates that Meghan’s showing off their kids on social media to boost her brand. He wants privacy. She wants Malibu beach days and matching mommy-kid influencer looks. So basically—it’s ‘The Crown: California Edition.’ Stay tuned or just follow her on Instagram.”

Welcome to The List,
Hudson Westbrook is finding out real fast what it feels like when a song stops being yours and starts being everybody’s. He says every time he plays “House Again,” the crowd is already singing it back to him like it’s been around for 20 years. The song’s all about leaving something familiar, a place, a person, or that phase of life where you thought gas would never hit four bucks. Congrats, Hudson. You wrote a feelings song and now strangers are screaming it at you.

The regret meter might be flashing red in Keith Urban land, at least according to the rumor mill. Sources are whispering that Nicole Kidman still loves him, misses him, and that her friends are basically standing guard yelling, “Do not text him after midnight.” Nostalgia is powerful, folks. It’s the same thing that convinces you bangs were a good idea in 2004.

Bruce Willis’ wife Emma Heming is opening up about his dementia, sharing that Bruce doesn’t fully realize what’s happening and that she’s grateful he isn’t suffering with that awareness. It’s a heavy reminder that sometimes love looks like strength, patience, and showing up every single day even when life rewrites the script.

Lainey Wilson is having herself a moment and then putting it on Netflix. Her new documentary, “Lainey Wilson: Keepin’ Country Cool,” hits this spring and follows her journey from tough breaks to big wins. And because Lainey never does just one thing at a time, she also teamed up with Wrangler for cowboy-inspired tracksuits, complete with studs and flared legs. Country music, but make it comfy.
