Welcome to The List,
Dolly Parton’s taking over the Country Music Hall of Fame, and it’s shinier than a disco ball at a rhinestone rodeo. This new exhibit is full of glitter, glam, and six decades of fabulous. Dolly even teared up, saying, “It’s a long way from the Smoky Mountains to the top of the world.”

So apparently, we’re canonizing craft brews now? Chicago’s Burning Bush Brewery just dropped a new beer called “Da Pope,” inspired by Pope Leo XIV—because nothing says holiness like hops. It’s an American mild ale with fruity notes. So yeah, if you’ve ever wanted to drink the spirit of Chicago’s papal pride… now’s your chance to get buzzed and blessed.

Morgan Wallen’s new rap-cover of “Miami” is catching heat—and not the good kind. People say it sounds like he teamed up with Alvin and the freakin’ Chipmunks. The chorus? High-pitched and autotuned within an inch of its life. Once you hear it, you can’t unhear it. It’s giving… helium karaoke. Bless his autotuned little heart.

Shakira’s hips don’t lie—but apparently someone’s immune system did. Someone with measles showed up at her MetLife Stadium show in New Jersey. No confirmed cases yet, but symptoms could pop up through June 6th. So if you went… congrats, you didn’t just get a concert—you might’ve got a souvenir virus. Thanks for the germs, mystery patient zero!

Welcome to The List,
So apparently, Sharon Osbourne wants to plant Ozzy in their English garden like a gothic tomato. A source says she might not be up for a huge public memorial just a quiet little backyard funeral. You know, next to the begonias and BBQ pit. Honestly, the man was the Prince of Darkness… seems fitting.

Carrie Underwood’s eyeballing a return to American Idol AND trying to break into acting. Apparently, she’s got a taste for the Hollywood life now. Next stop: romantic comedies, action flicks, maybe a gritty cop drama. Carrie, blink twice if Ryan Seacrest is holding you hostage.

‘Reacher’ star Alan Ritchson might be our next Batman! Director James Gunn says he’s a big fan, which is Hollywood speak for “we already bought the suit.” I mean, sure… he’s got the chin for it…and the attitude….the size…ok, I can see it…

So this happened Hulk Hogan once appeared on Dolly Parton’s variety show… as a wrestler named Starlight Starbright. Dolly even sang, “He’s Got a Headlock on My Heart.” Somewhere out there, a bald eagle just shed a single tear of pure American pride.
