Welcome to The List,
Brantley Gilbert’s Best Christmas Gift Was A New Best Friend … “The best gift I ever received as a child, I still gotta say, I think I was in third grade, and I got a miniature dachshund. My parents got me a dog, and that little dude was my best friend for eight years. His name was Max, and he was one of the best dogs ever. So that’s probably my best Christmas memory.”

Chris Stapleton tells GQ magazine that he and his band attended a Beyonce concert earlier this year. “It’s a big show. You know, there’s dancers and explosions, all those things, but at the core of it it’s just her singing her [butt] off. Maybe we can do [costume changes like her] for my show. Just get me nearly naked on a bearskin rug.”

Carrie Underwood Loves Traditional Christmas Songs … “When I think of Christmas, you know, I’m a very traditional person. I love traditional hymns. I love traditional Christmas songs.

Welcome to The List,
Eric Dane, best known as McSteamy on Grey’s Anatomy, has passed away at 53 after battling ALS. He first revealed his diagnosis last April, but symptoms began earlier in 2024. His family says he spent his final days surrounded by his wife, daughters, and close friends, and he used his fight to raise awareness for ALS research.

William Shatner is officially going metal…because apparently retirement is for people without a spaceship. The 94 year old icon is releasing a heavy metal album featuring covers of Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, and Judas Priest, plus original songs with 35 metal legends. He says metal is where imagination gets loud, which explains a lot about Captain Kirk. There’s nothing more metal than a man eligible for social security since Nixon.

Jelly Roll is officially becoming a member of the Grand Ole Opry on March 10th, and Lainey Wilson will be there to welcome him in. He first found out back in December when Craig Morgan surprised him with the invitation, and now Craig will perform at the induction too. It’s one of country music’s highest honors, and proof that redemption stories hit harder than any guitar solo.

Kane Brown is the latest country star to plant his flag on Broadway in Nashville with his own entertainment venue. Kane Brown’s on Broadway will feature a full restaurant, bar, and live music, which basically guarantees fans will spend money while singing his songs badly. Every country star gets a bar eventually, it’s practically a rite of passage. At this point, Nashville Broadway is less a street and more a country music theme park.
