Welcome to The List,

The 18th Annual ACM Honors went down and they were handing out trophies like candy. Randy Travis walked away with the Milestone Award, Jelly Roll snagged the Lifting Lives Award, and Cody Johnson grabbed the Spirit Award. Basically, the only award missing was “Most Likely to Outdrink the Other Two.”

Page Six says Hulk Hogan’s daughter Brooke might be onto something big. She claims her dad could’ve died because of medical malpractice yep, somebody may have clipped his phrenic nerve in surgery, messing with his breathing. Brooke’s calling for answers, and the investigation’s still rolling. This drama’s sounding more like a WrestleMania storyline than real life.

Eric Church admitted his dad bribed him into going to college. Seventeen-year-old Eric wanted to be a country star, Dad said, “Cool… but graduate first, and I’ll cover six months’ rent in Nashville.” And Eric went for it. Proof that sometimes parental wisdom is just a thinly veiled cash bribe.

Rumor mill says two massive Hollywood stars went at each other on the set of Avengers: Doomsday. Why? Somebody told a joke that didn’t land shocking, right? Word is it might’ve been Pedro Pascal and Robert Downey Jr. Honestly, if Iron Man and The Mandalorian are throwing shade, just sell tickets to that fight.

Welcome to The List,

Jelly Roll may need to slow his roll… literally. Word is, he’s risking his health by wrestling for the WWE. Friends are begging him to stop, but apparently this is his new “high.” He’s off the hard stuff, but now he’s hooked on body slams and suplexes. The problem? His friends say he loves the adrenaline and the fans way too much to quit.

So, fun fact there’s a Rambo reboot in the works. Did you know that? Yeah, me neither. And apparently Sylvester Stallone is ticked because Ryan Gosling didn’t get the part. Nope, the studio went with Noah Centineo. Sly thinks Ryan had the grit, the depth, the “Rambo-ness.” But the studio wanted someone younger.  Raise your hand if YOU asked for a Rambo reboot. …Crickets.

Brooke Hogan is still waving the “something’s fishy” flag about her dad’s death. Now she’s saying even cops and nurses are quietly backing her up. No word yet on what the “fishiness” is… but if Brooke’s right, Hulkamania might not be the wildest story here.

-----

Dolly Parton is officially soda-fied! Coca-Cola just announced “40th Pop Fizz” to celebrate Dollywood’s 40th anniversary. It’s a creamy cherry flavor, So basically cherry Coke got a Dolly wig and a rhinestone makeover.

Welcome to The List,

Celebrity boxing is officially out of ideas now they want Kevin Federline and Sam Asghari to duke it out in “The Battle of Britney’s Exes.” Yes, a pay-per-view fight where the winner gets a belt and the loser… moves back in with Britney. This isn’t boxing, it’s daytime TV with punching. Somewhere, Jerry Springer is proud.

-----

Nicole Kidman is moving to Portugal… solo. And apparently that’s “marriage trouble” code for: Keith Urban didn’t pack his boots. Friends say it’s a bold signal their perfect marriage might not be so perfect.

-----

Kenny Chesney is writing his memoir and shocker, it involves beaches, waves, and Kenny reflecting on his “soul journey.” Expect 300 pages of him sitting shirtless by the ocean saying, “Life’s a magic carpet ride, man.” Basically, Jimmy Buffett, but with more biceps.

-----

Orlando Bloom wants everybody back for the new Pirates of the Caribbean reboot. His big idea? “If the script is good… let’s just bring back everyone.” Groundbreaking, Orlando. Sure, let’s roll the dice and see if Johnny Depp still remembers how to wobble like Jack Sparrow without falling over.
