Blake Shelton Admits that he is just a “goofy” step-father. “I don’t think they’ve ever seen me be serious. Maybe a handful of times. I want to be a positive influence, but I also want to be a lot of fun. That’s the kind of parent I want to be.”Even though he says he’s pretty goofy.. They have a mom and a dad and now they have a Blake and I want that to be fun for them.

Last week Zach Bryan promised he’d release his song “Dawns” if the Philadelphia Eagles beat the New York Giants on Saturday. Boy did they.

Justin Moore recently shared how a couple of his daughters are doing in school, but we also wondered how his son South, who is his youngest, is doing. But he seems to be doing good. He’s writin’ his name, and he seems to be enjoying school, which I was concerned about, cause he’s used to hangin’ out with me all day every day when I’m home. But he’s done really good. I think it was harder on me initially than it was him, quite frankly.” His son just turned 5 years old before going into kindergarten.

Welcome to The List,
Kim Kardashian just testified against the “grandpa robbers” who tied her up and stole her jewelry in Paris back in 2016. And how did she show up to court? In $7 million worth of diamonds—including a 52-carat necklace. That’s carat, not karat. She said when they broke in at 3am, she was in a bathrobe and thought she was going to die. So naturally, she dressed like a human vault to face them. Classic Kim.

Remember when Morgan Wallen peaced out of SNL faster than a dad at a toddler’s dance recital? He finally explained why: “I was ready to go home. I’d been there all week.” That’s it. No drama. No tantrum. Just a man who’d had enough New York. He even posted “Get me to God’s country” from the tarmac. Honestly? Mood.

George Strait turns 73 this Sunday and just hinted at when he’ll retire. He said he’s got about “five good years” left on stage. Which means the King of Country might still be touring at 78. The man’s been performing for over 50 years—since his Army days. And he’s still selling out shows. Last summer? Over 110,000 people packed into Texas A&M to see him. Legend status confirmed.

A new book says George Clooney called for Biden to drop out right after a fundraiser where... Biden didn’t recognize him. Clooney. The guy from Ocean’s Eleven. The one he’s known for years. The book says Clooney was “shaken to his core.” I mean, if George Clooney walked up to me and I said “Do I know you?”—I’d assume I’d been hit in the head with a frying pan.
