Thomas Rhett says writing songs for him…is really all about honesty and is a songwriter’s key to his success … “Especially as an artist, It’s tough to be vulnerable and to write songs about your life. When you put them out you go, ‘Does songs that I write, you’re really talking to a lot of the population. When you can put that into a song form that can evoke an emotion and bring people into that, I think that is songwriting 101 – to be unabashedly yourself and do things different, not because you’re just trying to be different because that’s actually who you are, I think that doesn’t go unnoticed.”
If Justin Moore could be better at something what would that be…writer, singer, bass boat fisherman…no…he says golfer…“ it’s funny, because now that I play worse I don’t get as upset. I’m just like, ‘Ehhh, whatever.’ I think I’ve lowered my expectations now. So, I don’t play near as well now but it’s almost more fun to me now.”

Welcome to The List,
Tom Cruise is allegedly still stunned and furious that Ana de Armas dumped him. A source says he “didn’t see it coming” and can’t wrap his head around the idea that she didn’t want him as a long-term partner. Now Ana’s out here laughing it up with Lewis Hamilton in the Ferrari garage — which stings even more because Lewis is friends with Tom.

Jason Aldean’s six-year-old daughter Navy lost her first tooth and not to the Tooth Fairy, but to a knee in the face during some vacation roughhousing. That’ll teach ya!
