Welcome to The List,
Over the weekend, we learned the Aaron Carter the younger brother of Nick Carter of the Backstreet Boys was found dead in his bathtub Saturday morning…as of yet still no word on the cause. At the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony this weekend, Dolly Parton was inducted and shared a microphone with Judas Priest singer Rob Halford which by it’s self is a show stopper.

Here’s a turn…Carrie Underwood’s fans will be furious if she doesn’t win CMA Entertainer of the Year [EOTY] on Wednesday. Country Now was checking social media posts and found this from a fan, quote, “EOTY or we riot.” Let’s hope they’re kidding. Carrie is up against Morgan Wallen, Chris Stapleton, Luke Combs, and Miranda Lambert.

George Strait was at Saturday’s World Series game. He signed a bunch of autographs, and there’s a pic of him GETTING an autograph from Astros pitcher Lance McCullers Jr. He also did the traditional “Play ball” call before the game.

Black Adam is the number one movie in the country again…that make THREE weeks in a row…followed by some other movie…I just can seem to remember what they were…

Welcome to The List,
Luke Bryan’s out here adding gasoline to the CEO/Cheating-at-Coldplay scandal! At a recent show, he asked the crowd, “Who’s here with their secretary tonight?” Then warned, “Don’t get caught!” Meanwhile, Morgan Wallen, from his Phoenix stage, said, “I’m not gonna snitch like Coldplay… I don’t support cheating — at least not anymore.” Growth? Or just better PR?

Zac Brown Band just dropped a new track with... wait for it... Snoop Dogg. It’s called “Let It Run” — and surprise! It’s about smoking weed. Because when you think country collabs, you think beards, banjos… and blunt rotation with Uncle Snoop. No one asked for it. And yet… here we are.

Jimmy Kimmel and Jimmy Fallon could be packing up their desk jokes soon. With Colbert already out, insiders say “No one is safe — not even the Jimmys!” Audiences want viral clips, not hour-long setups and fake laughs. Fallon makes $16 million a year, Kimmel gets $15 mil — and apparently neither gets ratings anymore.

Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel are reportedly heading for a very polite Hollywood divorce. Word is, they’ve been living separately since his DUI, and Jessica’s just… done. The vibe? “Amicable” in public, awkward silence and shared custody calendar behind the scenes. The papers are coming, and apparently, everyone in Hollywood already knew. You didn’t hear it from me... but also, yeah you did.

Welcome to The List,
Big TV shake-up—The Late Show with Stephen Colbert is getting the boot in May 2026. CBS says it's “financial,” but Colbert says he’s not being replaced, the whole thing’s just... poof. Gone. Like your favorite shirt that mysteriously vanished after laundry day. Oh, and while we're at it—rumor has it Jimmy Fallon might dip before his contract ends in 2028. Late night is getting late, folks.

So Coldplay’s doing their usual feel-good show in Massachusetts—when the camera catches a couple swaying together... until the dude DODGES out of frame like it’s a game of dodgeball and the woman looks away. Chris Martin jokes it off—“affair or just shy?” Uh…turns out it was an affair. Internet sleuths say he’s a tech CEO and she’s the Chief People Officer. And not his wife. Cost of concert: hotel $200, tickets $600, snacks $150, divorce attorney $50,000…

Ella Langley says the moment she met Eric Church, she nearly passed out—and not from heatstroke. When he slid his sunglasses down and said "Hey"... her soul left the building. Can confirm: even tough country girls short-circuit when The Chief makes eye contact. No shame, Ella. We’d ALL faint a little.
-----
Tim McGraw says a family album may never happen—because apparently, he’s the worst singer in the house. Yeah, when Faith Hill and three powerhouse daughters live under your roof, you’re basically background noise. Tim says it’s like a NASCAR trying to keep up with a Formula One car. So... Faith’s Beyoncé, and Tim’s... the guy clapping offbeat in the back.
