Welcome to The List,
Dierks Bentley received a Star on the Music City Walk of Fame. He jokes that his career has peaked. But for him, what song put him on his career path “When I was 17 my buddy Jack Brown, played me two songs one was Hank Jr’s ‘Man To Man’ which totally blew all the circuits in my brain. One was Marty Stewart ‘That’s Country’. Those two songs back-to-back, just totally, I just can even describe the certainty of knowing what I wanted to do.” So there were TWO songs and is it surprising at all that one of those was a Hank Jr song….

Today is the opening day for Baseball!!!…Brett Young always wanted to be a Baseball player…“Baseball was kind of always going to be the path for me since I was little. There started being professional scouts at games about junior year of high school, but I still made the decision to go to college instead. Baseball clearly wasn’t the plan for me.” Tonight you can catch The Cincinnati Reds taking on the Atlanta Braves on the Braves’ home terf on ESPN 2

Jada Pinkett Smith’s ex-boyfriend, August Alsina, is writing a memoir. Publishers are offering him a six-figure deal to talk about his relationship with Jada. Meanwhile, Will Smith’s biggest fear is that he is going to be canceled because he slapped Chris Rock at the Oscars. He’s seeing many of his future movie rolls and projects being put on hold and there’s nothing he can do about it. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences will meet April 8th to discuss possible sanctions for Will.

Welcome to The List,
Well THAT escalated quickly. Keith Urban was doing an Aussie radio interview when someone asked how he feels about Nicole Kidman locking lips with Zac Efron onscreen. Next thing you know—click!—the Zoom call vanishes like my willpower near pizza. The hosts say Keith’s team bailed. But a source says “Keith didn’t hang up! It was a technical issue” Uh-huh. And I only watch Nicole’s movies for the plot.

Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton might trade Hollywood for hay bales! Word is, they're finally serious about having a baby and raising it in Oklahoma, far away from TMZ and overpriced oat milk. Blake’s craving a little one, Gwen’s slowing down, and apparently a diaper bag might be in her future.

Drama in the Diddy courtroom: the jury has reached a partial verdict after 12 hours, locking in four outta five charges—sex trafficking and transporting for prostitution. But that last racketeering count? Still marinating in the baby oil. Meanwhile, Diddy got emotional, whispered “love you” to his mom, and gave her the ol’ chest thump. Somewhere, someone’s making this into a Lifetime movie.

J.Lo is sweating harder than me during allergy season. Rumor is Ben Affleck might air everything on a podcast with Matt Damon—including their messy breakup. Sources say Ben’s tired of false stories and may finally come out. J.Lo’s nightmare? A “warts and all” tell-all. Honestly, if it’s called Good Will Dumping, I’m subscribing…immediately.
