Carly Pearce Says “I Hope You’re Happy Now” Is An Apology …Carly Pearce’s I hope you’re happy broke billboards top 40 list last week “What makes it so beautiful is this is my apology to this person. I actually was pretty emotional at first when I saw the artwork of the heart and listening to the song because I genuinely didn’t mean to hurt this person and I genuinely hope the best for them and I genuinely hope that they’re happy now. So I will never exploit their name or poke fun at them in the way that I did the guy that hurt me. But this is a genuine feeling that I think he probably knew would eventually come out in some way in my music, because that’s what we do as songwriters. And I feel like what I went through so many people go through and what Lee is singing about so many people go through.”

Welcome to The List,
"Hallmark is teaming up with the Grand Ole Opry for A Grand Ole Opry Christmas and yes, that’s a real title, not the name of your grandma’s holiday fruitcake. It’s dropping during Hallmark Channel’s 16th annual Countdown to Christmas, which means you can expect twinkly lights, cozy sweaters, and a predictable plot where love magically appears between snowfalls. And you’re gonna eat it up with a peppermint spoon."

"Zach Top pulled off a gender reveal on stage the other night...well, kinda. A couple in the crowd handed him the results in a folded-up paper… but Zach opened it backwards and flashed the answer to the entire audience before the parents even saw it. So much for the big surprise now even the merch guy knows before Grandma."
-----
"Jerry Bruckheimer says he thinks he can lure Johnny Depp back as Captain Jack Sparrow for Pirates of the Caribbean 6. And I don’t know what he’s offering, but I hope it involves rum, eyeliner, and an unlimited Sephora gift card. Because if Jack’s coming back, you know things are about to get weird, wobbly, and wildly quotable."

"Diddy’s so-called ‘freak-off’ tapes might be hitting the market and industry insiders say it could be big money. Think Kim K, Paris Hilton… just add more lawsuits and fewer beach vacations. This isn’t just scandal it’s capitalism with better lighting."
