Welcome to The List,
Megan Moroney told Rolling Stone she considers herself a “Southern-belle Barbie”—you know, with 10 pounds of hair extensions and a hairspray helmet for special occasions. Because nothing says “authentic country” like a plastic head and a flammable updo.

CBS has a new show coming called The Road, where up-and-coming artists open for Keith Urban and Blake Shelton. And who’s their tour manager? Gretchen “Redneck Woman” Wilson. So yes—aspiring singers, prepare to get yelled at in a Southern accent while learning the fine art of shot-gunning a beer mid-guitar solo.

Back in ’83, Freddie Mercury and Michael Jackson were gonna record a duet—until Michael brought his pet llama into the studio. Freddie took one look and said, “I’m out.” Because even rock legends have limits, and apparently, surprise livestock is one of them.

Eva Longoria says she’s not sure there’ll be a Desperate Housewives reboot. And somewhere, every guy who was forced to watch it in 2005 just exhaled like they avoided jury duty.

Welcome to The List,
Lainey Wilson's getting her own exhibit at the Country Music Hall of Fame called “Tough as Nails.” It opens July 18th and runs through next June. From Louisiana farm girl to CMA queen — it’s like Cinderella, but with bell bottoms and a banjo.

Dolly Parton just roasted the real-life Jolene like a Thanksgiving turkey. She said, “She’s not so hot now... used to be a D-cup, now she’s in Depends.” I mean, dang Dolly — that wasn't shade, that was a total eclipse.
-----
Word is Travis Kelce is cracking under the pressure of juggling touchdowns and Taylor Swift. He's trying to live two lives: NFL beast by day, Swiftie arm candy by night. And apparently? It’s catching up with him. Rumors say he might hang up the cleats early — or just pass out from exhaustion mid-rom-com marathon.
-----
Troy Aikman just bought a place near Prince Harry and Meghan in Montecito — but don’t expect royal backyard BBQs. Troy says he hasn’t seen 'em, doesn’t plan to, and doubts they’re fans of light beer anyway. Translation: “I live near them, but I ain’t with them.” Iconic.
