Did you know, Carrie Underwood has a fear of turtles? Because they are the ones that BIT her the most…”I grew up in the country, Turtles were the easiest thing to catch. I love animals so much that I feel like I would always try to hug them or pet them.  That lead to them taking opportunities, I’ve been bit by lots of Turtles it does NOT feel good.” Ok, don’t pet Turtles, got it.

There’s been a story going around that the “Barbie” movie used so much pink paint that it caused a worldwide shortage.  That’s not exactly true, but they DID use A LOT of florescent pink paint.

Luke Combs tells Esquire magazine that he would give up his career for his family. “I love what I do and I love my fans, but I would give it up in a heartbeat if my family asked me to. I wouldn’t hesitate. They are my life.” Where as Dan + Shay star Shay Mooney says he can’t live without his phone. “I gotta have my phone. Golf Clash and Clash Royale are super addicting games. I don’t play them at home because they’re distracting for my family, but I play them all the time on the road.”

The Daily Mail says Chris Rock recently called the New York police after he saw a Peeping Tom staring into his home. The guy was standing on Chris’ fire escape and may have had a camera. The peeper took off in a getaway car after Chris saw him. He was wearing pink Crocs. Will Smith will do anything to apologize to Chris Rock…

Jon Pardi tells Music Mayhem magazine that he likes to name his animals after famous people. He named their goats Garth and Trisha when they first got ’em. He thought it’d be funny. They also named their four cats the Kat-dashians. Yeah, they’re a little weird.” So if you are having problems naming your fur baby…I know someone that can help.

The List for Thursday, June 5th 2025

Welcome to The List,

The guitar Michael J. Fox absolutely obliterates at the Enchantment Under the Sea dance? In Back to the Future? Yeah, it’s been missing since 1985—poof, gone, like Biff’s dignity. It’s a cherry red Gibson ES-345 and Gibson’s basically playing musical “Wanted” posters to get it back. Even Marty himself is pleading for its return in a video. Bonus fact: the guitar’s from the '60s, even though the scene was set in '55. So not only is it missing—it’s a time-traveling anachronism. Perfect...

-----

Jason Aldean just torched the whole encore charade. He said, “I’m not gonna leave the stage, make you beg, then stroll back out like it’s a surprise.” No, sir—he plays it all, drops the mic, and that’s it. Respect. None of this “Oh gee, did you really want to hear ‘Dirt Road Anthem?’” Dude, we know it's coming. This ain’t a magic show. It’s country music, not Criss Angel.

------

Allegedly, Blake Lively just got booted from Taylor Swift’s inner circle, and she’s forming her own squad—less pop stars, more...whoever’s available. Sources say Taylor’s over the drama, and Blake’s out here auditioning new friends like it’s The Real Housewives of Manhattan. No tears, just a chilled glass of “watch me glow up without you.” The pettiness? Vintage. The revenge arc? Chef’s kiss.

----

Headed to CMA Fest? Buckle up, honky-tonk hero. First, it's a clear bag only situation—so unless your purse is see-through like your ex’s promises, leave it at home. Ditch the cowboy boots too unless you’re into blisters and bad decisions. Oh, and plot twist—you don’t have to pay to see music. There’s free music all over the place. It’s like Coachella, but with more denim and less judgment.

The List for Wednesday, June 4th 2025

Welcome to The List,

Things just keep going so well for Meghan Markle, She tried to book Dolly Parton for her Netflix show With Love, Meghan... and Dolly’s team basically said, “Bless your heart, but no thanks.” Apparently, they didn’t want to “risk Dolly’s reputation” by being associated with Meghan. Basically: we're not trading rhinestones for royal drama, sweetie.

-----

Lainey Wilson owns well over a thousand pairs of bell-bottoms. A new pair for every show—for the past 15 years. Meanwhile, Luke Combs is out here reppin' the Columbia fishing shirt like it’s couture. One of them’s living in a fashion show, the other’s living in a Bass Pro Shop catalog. It’s all about balance…

-----

Tim McGraw and Faith Hill’s youngest daughter Audrey is stepping into the music biz, and the parents are all in their feelings. Word is, she looks and sounds exactly like Faith. So basically, they’ve created a clone with vocal cords—and now they’re just trying not to cry through every rehearsal. Adorable and mildly terrifying.

-----

Mike Flanagan is remaking Carrie AGAIN—this time as an 8-part Prime Video series. Yes, again. Carrie’s had more reboots than Batman at this point. Summer H. Howell is our new blood-soaked prom queen, and production starts this summer. No release date yet, but don't worry... she’ll be back. She always comes back.
