Welcome to The List,

Break out the pastel suits and synth music Miami Vice is coming back! Austin Butler and Michael B. Jordan are reportedly teaming up for the reboot that’s dripping in 1980s excess. Universal’s already called dibs on August 6, 2027, for the release date…. you’ve got plenty of time to grow a mullet and buy a white Ferrari.

Apparently, Kelsea Ballerini’s breakup with Chase Stokes hit her harder than a Keith Urban guitar riff. But don’t worry Keith’s playing big brother and therapist now. Sources say he’s helping her pick up the pieces and “move on.” Basically, he’s making sure she doesn’t write a breakup song that burns too many bridges.

-----

Gwen Stefani has reportedly hit her limit with Blake Shelton’s comfort-food phase. She loves him, but she’s over the biscuits, gravy, and belly. Sources say she’s terrified he’s headed for a health disaster. Blake’s hiding his gut from Gwen, but once she’s gone it’s fried chicken and freedom!

-----

Morgan Wallen told People magazine he’s finally owning up to his mistakes, saying, “Maybe I’m the problem sometimes.” They call that growth! Step one: admitting it. Step two: not doing it again. Step three: turning it into a hit single and watching it top the charts by Friday.

Welcome to The List,

Grab your Eggo waffles and emotional support tissues, because Stranger Things is going full Hollywood. The two-hour series finale hits 350 theaters December 31st and January 1^st because who doesn’t want to ring in the new year with teenage trauma and interdimensional spiders? The Duffer Brothers call it “the perfect ending.” Yeah, if your idea of perfect is crying in Dolby surround sound. Or you can just ugly cry from your couch when it drops on Netflix the same day.

Kim Kardashian says doctors found a small aneurysm during a routine MRI caused by stress from her split with Kanye. So even her arteries said, “I’m out.” Luckily she’s okay, but if Kim’s getting stress aneurysms, the rest of us with jobs, kids, and car payments are basically ticking time bombs. With Wi-Fi. And bad posture.

-----

So apparently, Keith Urban’s been “hanging out” with his guitarist, Maggie Baugh yep, the same Maggie he brought on stage. Cue the rumor mill. But country singer Alexandra Kay says Maggie’s happily taken and has nothing to do with the Keith-Nicole chaos. So either Maggie’s being dragged for no reason, or she’s the best distraction team Urban’s ever had. Either way, someone’s strumming more than just a guitar solo.

-----

Lainey Wilson’s trading her bell bottoms for the big screen in Reminders of Him, out March 13th. She plays a grocery store manager who befriends a woman fresh outta prison so basically, country music but make it cinema. The cast includes Bradley Whitford and Lauren Graham, and yes, it’s our first real look at Lainey the movie star. From Yellowstone to Hollywood? Somebody cue “Heart Like a Truck” over the credits.

Welcome to The List,

Well, apparently Blake Shelton is now the Divorce Whisperer. Sources say he’s offering Keith Urban emotional support during his alleged split from Nicole Kidman. Because who better to coach you through heartbreak than the guy with two divorces and a bar named “Ole Red”? Oh, and the source is the National Enquirer, so maybe take that with an entire salt shaker.

Luke Combs got asked what positions country stars would play on a football team and his answers are gold. He said Lainey Wilson’s the quarterback (duh, she runs everything), Riley Green’s the water boy (ouch), and Luke Bryan’s the “locker room guy.” Which is polite code for, “Let’s not put him anywhere near a football.”

-----

Diddy’s time in jail just turned into a real-life episode of Oz. Reports say an inmate with a shiv snuck into his cell and held a knife to his throat. His best friend says it was a “warning.” Yeah, nothing says “we’re watching you” like a surprise wake-up call from the business end of a prison knife. Diddy’s lawyers are now screaming “protective custody, please!”

-----

Rumor alert: Nicole Kidman might be rekindling things with ex-fiancé Lenny Kravitz. Supposedly “the spark never died” and they’re reconnecting now that they’re both single. Which makes sense she’s a free agent, he’s a rock god honestly, it’s shocking they didn’t circle back sooner. Cue the rom-com music and Lenny’s shirt mysteriously falling off.

Welcome to The List,

College GameDay’s rolling into Nashville this weekend, and the big question isn’t who’ll win it’s who’ll pick. Dierks Bentley’s a proud Vandy grad, Chris Stapleton dropped out of Vandy, and Lainey Wilson’s just... everywhere. Honestly, if they don’t let Lainey do it, she’ll probably just show up and do it anyway.

-----

Jon Bon Jovi’s voice is back! After vocal cord surgery and a whole lot of rehab, he’s ready for one last arena scream-fest. Insiders say he’s “going out on top,” which is good, because “Livin’ on a Prayer” just hits different when you actually make it to the end of the note.

-----

MTV launched in 1981, but country fans had to wait five years to get their moment. Some say it was Juice Newton’s “Angel of the Morning,” but that’s basically pop with a cowboy hat. The first real country video? Dwight Yoakam’s “Honky Tonk Man” in 1986. And yes, his jeans were tighter than your internet connection back then.

-----

Britney Spears is back in the dating pool and apparently fishing with a blindfold on. She’s meeting guys off social media, random staff members, whoever’s available. Sources say she’s just making sure her “needs” are met. It’s basically an HR nightmare.
