Welcome to The List,
Megan Moroney told Rolling Stone she considers herself a “Southern-belle Barbie”—you know, with 10 pounds of hair extensions and a hairspray helmet for special occasions. Because nothing says “authentic country” like a plastic head and a flammable updo.

CBS has a new show coming called The Road, where up-and-coming artists open for Keith Urban and Blake Shelton. And who’s their tour manager? Gretchen “Redneck Woman” Wilson. So yes—aspiring singers, prepare to get yelled at in a Southern accent while learning the fine art of shot-gunning a beer mid-guitar solo.
---
Back in '83, Freddie Mercury and Michael Jackson were gonna record a duet—until Michael brought his pet llama into the studio. Freddie took one look and said, “I’m out.” Because even rock legends have limits, and apparently, surprise livestock is one of them.
----
Eva Longoria says she’s not sure there’ll be a Desperate Housewives reboot. And somewhere, every guy who was forced to watch it in 2005 just exhaled like they avoided jury duty.

Welcome to The List,
So this is creepy, Bill Belichick was trying to do a serious CBS interview... and his 24-year-old girlfriend stormed the set like it was a Bring It On reboot. She kept interrupting and apparently tried to drag Bill out mid-interview like, “Time to go, Grandpa!” Producers were left wondering if they needed security—or pom-poms.
-----
Miranda Lambert’s hubby used to be a regular at her Nashville bar—drinking, dancing, being a total vibe. But ever since a video dropped of him with other women, he’s ghosted the place. Apparently too many people recognize him now... yeah, like his wife.
-----
Diddy’s legal team is really out here saying he’s not guilty of abuse... because he was too wasted to know what he was doing. They even hired a professor who’s never met him to say it. So the “oops I was drunk” defense is back, folks. Can’t wait to see how that works out next Monday in court.
-----
Willie Nelson turned 92 yesterday—proof that weed preserves people. A report claimed his son’s basically his full-time caregiver now, but Willie’s wife Annie clapped back like, “Sit down, he’s still got it.” Moral of the story? Don’t mess with a legend’s wife. She’ll fact-check you into retirement.

PACK THE BACKPACK
APRIL 2025 Recipient
APRIL RECIPIENT:
Shelby Macki – 1st & 2nd Grade Special Education Teacher – Nevada Central Elementary School
NOMINATED BY:
Heinrik Edgington
HEINRIK’S LETTER:
Mrs. Macki is the kindest and caring teacher. She loves to share big wins such as learning to read, spelling sight words, and any accomplishment! She has a place for kids in her room to rest, she knows when kids are not themselves, she allows them to have space to rest and regroup. She encourages kids to be themselves, be kind, and express themselves. Teaching them to use their words in a kind way to tell someone they are not doing ok and need something. Mrs. Macki is truly remarkable. Not only does she share wins, she keeps my mom updated too.

Welcome to The List,
The National Enquirer claims American Idol owes its comeback to Jelly Roll — and some of the judges aren’t exactly thrilled. Apparently, Lionel and Luke are jealous because Jelly’s too busy throwing parties, making friends, and just being a walking ball of good vibes. Honestly... how dare he save the show by being awesome? The nerve!
-----
Jason Aldean told Billboard that Carrie Underwood’s kids have played baseball against his and that there’s no way her kids are beating his kids at baseball. Experts say the matchup was intense — lots of Capri Suns, a few scraped knees, and one very sweaty Jason trash-talking an 8-year-old from the bleachers. Somebody get this man a juice box and a participation trophy!
-----
Word is Tom Cruise is trying to win over Ana de Armas — but there’s just a tiny hurdle: she’s 36, her boyfriend’s 27, and Tom... is 62. But hey, age is just a number... until your number qualifies you for the senior discount at IHOP. Good luck, Maverick. it's not 1986 anymore. You’re not battling Russians in a fighter jet — you’re battling TikTok boyfriends with better hair.

This just in - Apparently Travis Kelce unfollowed Ryan Reynolds because Taylor Swift is somehow tied up in Blake Lively’s legal drama. Wow. I haven’t seen stakes this high since I overcooked a Hot Pocket.
