Interesting factoid about Tenille Townes!! When she was nine, she was randomly picked out of the crowd to sing with Shania Twain. And now she’s an opener on Shania’s tour. Yesterday, Tenille shared a throwback photo from that night, along with Shania’s 2023 tour announcement showing her as one of the openers.

Keith Urban has picked up some extra Christmas spending money this week . . . by selling his music catalog. He parted ways with the master recordings from 10 studio albums, as well as a greatest hits package. It’s unknown how much he cleared in the deal but we know it’s be a good Christmas at the Urban house this year.

Luke Combs’ openers pulled a prank on the final night of his Middle of Somewhere Tour. Jordan Davis, Lainey Wilson, and Danielle Bradbery created a silly dance that kinda matched the lyrics of “Going, Going, Gone”. They performed it behind Luke’s back while he did the song on stage. You can see it on Jordan Davis’s Instagram at jordandavisofficial…

You know those yule log videos that are popular around the holidays? There’s a new one available for streaming on HBO Max, but rather than a static shot of some logs burning against an aural backdrop of cheesy Christmas music, this yule log holds a deliciously evil secret: a feature length horror/comedy flick that will bend your mind. I’m not going to spoil anything about the plot, But I will tell you it starts with a static shot of a burning yule log and eventually goes so far off the rails you’ll forget the rails ever existed.

Fans everywhere are mourning the loss of the iconic DJ. Stephen “tWitch” Boss was 40.

Welcome to The List,
Luke Combs just committed the ultimate sports betrayal…he wore a Jacksonville Jaguars hat. Panthers fans immediately grabbed their pitchforks and pumpkin spice lattes and accused him of treason. One fan called him fake. Luke fired back saying, yeah, maybe he should have worn Panthers gear while playing in the Jaguars stadium…his bad. This man gave us “Beer Never Broke My Heart,” not “I Pledge Allegiance to Your Fantasy Football Team.”

Miranda Lambert kicked off the Daytona 500 in front of more than 100,000 screaming NASCAR fans. She admitted the massive crowd made her nervous, which is relatable, because the only thing scarier than that many people is that many people who drove there aggressively. She said it already felt like a concert thanks to the tailgating.

Hollywood officially ran out of ideas sometime around 2007, and now Charlie’s Angels is getting rebooted…again. Sony is already working on it, with the Crazy Rich Asians writer attached, and Drew Barrymore possibly involved behind the scenes. So yes, prepare for dramatic slow-motion walking, explosions that defy physics, and a plot nobody remembers. That’s Hollywood innovation….rebooting a reboot of a reboot of a reboot.

If you were waiting for The Simpsons to end, I have terrible news…you’ll be waiting forever. The showrunner says it will never have a real finale because the characters live in permanent cartoon Groundhog Day. They already did a fake ending just to mess with us. At this point, three things will survive the apocalypse: cockroaches, Twinkies, and Homer Simpson.
