Nashville Music Minute: Jerry Popsicle

Welcome to The List,

Diddy’s at it again. Apparently, prison life hasn’t slowed him down he allegedly joined a three-way..call, which is a big no-no behind bars. Word is, he was talking about bringing in cash and “200 singles.” Officials say that’s against the rules and want to cut off his phone and commissary privileges. His publicist says it’s all “attorney-client privilege.” Sure. Because lawyers always need 200 singles.

Kim Kardashian reportedly wants to be the next Bond Girl and she’s getting help from Jeff Bezos. Insiders say she’s meeting with Amazon and MGM execs to make it happen. “She wants it, she’s serious.” I mean, imagine James Bond saving the world while Kim’s trying to find the best light for her selfie. “Hold that explosion, I need a filter!”

Love is back on the playlist! Kelsea Ballerini and Chase Stokes are officially back together after their “cool-off period.” A source says Chase never wanted the breakup and always believed there was “something special.” So basically, they hit pause, realized dating is hard, and hit play again. Fingers crossed this time it’s not just a remix.

The first teaser for Toy Story 5 is out Woody’s back, Buzz is back, but no one’s explaining how or why. Didn’t we all cry and say goodbye in the last one? Guess not. Disney saw our tears and said, “Cool, let’s monetize those.” Get ready for another emotional gut-punch wrapped in nostalgia.

Welcome to The List,

Oh look… the Grammy nominations are out, which means country fans are already rage-scrolling. Miranda Lambert somehow got shoved into “Contemporary” instead of “Traditional,” so I guess steel guitars are now considered EDM. And Morgan Wallen, Luke Combs, AND Megan Moroney all got totally ignored. Meanwhile, a totally FAKE, A.I. country act called Breaking Rust hit #1 with “Walk the Walk.” Two million monthly Spotify listeners… for a robot band. So yes, your toaster may be the next country star. Yee-haw, Skynet.

Hollywood’s ageless action doll Tom Cruise is reportedly back on the dating market after things fizzled with Ana de Armas. Word is he’s looking for a setup and has laser-locked onto Charlize Theron. He wants to “collaborate,” which is celebrity-speak for “Let’s flirt on set and see what happens.” Charlize once called for Tom to join Fast & Furious and now his friends are telling him to go for it. Scientology meets Fast & Furious? I’d watch that more than the last three sequels.

Kim Kardashian is calling out her family psychics for promising she’d pass the bar exam. She says they’re “pathological liars,” which is rich coming from a family built on filters and plot twists. After six years of studying and multiple tries, she still didn’t pass… and now she’s dragging the tarot ladies on TikTok. Somewhere there’s a crystal in Calabasas rolling its eyes…..

Country legend Vince Gill is getting the Willie Nelson Lifetime Achievement Award at this year’s CMAs. Well deserved the man’s been making music longer than most of us have been alive. The CMAs air November 19th at 8pm on ABC, so get ready for the classy part of the show before Jelly Roll shows up with a fog machine and a tattoo budget bigger than Iowa.
