The biggest news over the weekend was Blake and Gwen…Blake Shelton Still Can't Believe That He Is Married To Gwen Stefani ... He kept Gwen’s ring in the little door pocket you know the one you keep, salt packets, flashlights, pocket knives in..”Yeah for like five days I drove around in that truck thinking, man you know this thing could fall out of the door. Somebody’s going to have a great day if they stumble on to this ring.” Blake says he only got to be on 'The Voice' because Reba McEntire turned the spot down. Had he not taken the job he may have never met Gwen Stefani

Luke Combs tells Music Mayhem magazine that a television and a couch were the best gifts he ever received from his parents. “My parents got me my own television when I was probably like 13.

Would YOU recognize Dale Earnhardt Jr. if you saw him?  Whiskey Riff says a security guard at the Pocono Speedway failed to when Dale tried to enter the track before a race. The website quotes Dale as saying, “I have never in my life uttered the words, ‘Do you know who I am?’ I’d never take that stance, and I stood there and the people around me were laughing at the guy like, ‘Are you serious? You don’t know who this guy is?’  Eventually, he showed his race pass and was let in…in response the race course put up a giant sign with Dale Jr’s picture and said he was allowed access to the course

Welcome to The List,

Florida Georgia Line's Brian Kelley Loves Spending July 4th At The Beach and he wastes NO time getting ready... "We take the Fourth of July very seriously down at the beach. It's getting up at 4 a.m. Your whole truck is already loaded the night before. I'm talking flags, beers, coolers, waters, towels, everything that you need is in the truck. So, we'll drive out at four in the morning, get all the chairs, the flags, the tents, everything set up and then lock the truck, go back, get some sleep. If you don't get your spot by like 4:30, you're not getting on the beach. Don’t forget the music…ya gotta be jamin’ some FGL on the beach….

Justin Moore says the 4^th of July is HIS favorite holiday... "The Fourth of July is my favorite holiday. One, because I love summer and hot weather and hate winter.  And my wife's birthday is the fifth, so the Fourth of July is huge for us. There's no gifts you gotta worry about.  It's just good food, it's good weather.  I love fireworks; I'm like a child."

Chris Pratt talks to James Corden about many different things that include wanting to wrestle ‘Guardians Of The Galaxy’ co-star Dave Bautisa..which WHY would you want to do that…and his new movie ‘The Tomorrow War’ “The film takes place in 20-21 and 20-51 as well.  There’s a war against a brutal force of invading aliens.  What we learn through the course of this film is that it’s not soldiers that are going to win the war and save the world ultimately it’s science.”And he’s saying all of this while solving a Rubik’s cube at the same time.. 'The Tomorrow War' is currently streaming on Amazon Prime Video.

"It all comes down to consistency, hard work and also eating the right foods. it’s a massive increase in food. so they’re 450-calorie meals broken up into the eight/ We try to eat every two hours and getting 450 calories in [each time]. I usually just keep running him food all day.
