Welcome to The List,

So, apparently Killer Klowns from Outer Space is getting a remake over at Amazon—and wait for it—Ryan Gosling is one of the producers. Yeah, Mr. “Hey Girl” is bringing back creepy alien clowns who cocoon people in cotton candy. Because sure, why not? If Barbie can break the box office, killer clowns can absolutely ruin your childhood sleepovers all over again.

Bryan Adams has been LYING to us since 1985! That whole “got my first real six-string at the five and dime”? LIES! Turns out he got it from a music shop while visiting his uncle at age 12. Oh, and he was only NINE in the Summer of ’69. So basically the entire anthem of our teenage rebellion is one big Canadian fairy tale. Cool, Bryan. Next you'll tell us “Heaven” was about a parking ticket.

Morgan Wallen just shut down the rumor mill like a bouncer at closing time. Everyone thought his first-ever female collab was gonna be with Megan Moroney, Ella Langley, or Miranda Lambert. But Morgan just said, “Ain’t nobody guessed it right yet.” So either it's someone totally unexpected… or he’s just trolling us from the mullet throne.

Thomas Rhett pulled a real-life “Achy Breaky Ankle” at Bridgestone Arena—dude took a tumble down some stairs while joining Forrest Frank on stage. But like a true country legend, he kept performing in pain... then rolled out in a wheelchair with his wife pushing him like it was NASCAR pit lane. Turns out it’s just a sprain, and yes—he did make a joke about it on Instagram, because of course he did…

Welcome to The List,

Sheryl Crow and LeAnn Rimes are crashing “The Voice” as mega mentors! Sheryl’s teaming up with Kelsea Ballerini and Michael Bublé’s crews, while LeAnn Rimes is riding shotgun with John Legend and Adam Levine’s artists. The playoff rounds kick off April 28th, and honestly—if those singers don’t cry at least once during mentoring, did they even get mentored?

-----

Post Malone is doubling—nah, tripling—down on country! After “F-1 Trillion” blew up, he hit Nashville twice more and cranked out 35 new songs. He’s hangin’ with Ernest, Hardy, and Thomas Rhett like it’s a honky-tonk slumber party. And no, his next album is NOT called “F-1 Quadrillion”… but how ICONIC would that be? Posty hits the road with Jelly Roll April 29th, and yes—it’s the Big [Butt] Tour. We said what we said.

-----

Word is Carrie Underwood’s being too sweet on “American Idol.” One insider says, “She’s just not bringing the drama.” Apparently, the other judges are over her “pity party” vibes—and yes, Miley Cyrus was Plan A. But hey, when you want fire and settle for fairy dust, you get nicey-nice Carrie. Great for church… not so great for ratings.

-----

Lainey Wilson’s gettin’ hitched! Wedding plans are movin’ slow, but they’re movin’. When asked if she wants a huge, celeb-stacked bash or a quiet, cozy “I do”—she said, “It’s gonna be small.” Which is wild, considering her career’s anything but. A low-key queen planning a low-key wedding? We’re here for it.

Welcome to The List,

When Cole Swindell took a knee to propose to his now-wife Courtney Little, you’d think the nerves would be about the big question, right? Nope..It was her father…They tied the knot last summer in a swoony little ceremony in Sonoma.

-----

Morgan Wallen just dropped the news that his new album “I’m the Problem” comes out May 16th—because apparently, self-awareness is in this season. But wait—there’s more! He’s also launching “The Shop Sessions” on YouTube, where he performs acoustic versions of songs from the album in an old auto shop. Because nothing says heartbreak and horsepower like crooning next to a rusty carburetor. First one’s called “Just in Case,” and it's out now!

-----

Kanye West is back on Twitter, proving once again that his fingers need a chaperone. He’s now accusing Taylor Swift of having flings with Justin Bieber and Harry Styles. Naturally, Taylor sent him a cease-and-desist, but that might just be the beginning. A source says Travis Kelce wants to handle things “man-to-man.” Translation: Travis is ready to turn Kanye into Yeezy pâté. This isn't drama anymore—it’s defamation, harassment, and one very bad idea away from a tight end takedown.

-----

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are reportedly investigating why Hollywood doesn’t love them. Because when in doubt, start your own royal detective agency. Apparently, missing out on an Emmy nomination was a huge blow, and they believe there’s a coordinated hate campaign. So they’ve called in the big guns—Oprah, Ellen, and probably Scooby-Doo—to crack the case. I mean, when the whole world’s a palace of haters, who else do you trust but daytime TV royalty?

Welcome to The List,

Ladies, start your... rockets! Katy Perry, Lauren Sanchez, and Gayle King are making history today, launched into space on Jeff Bezos’s Blue Origin rocket. It took off at  9:30 a.m. Eastern. A seat can cost up to $450,000—or, you know, slightly less than a weekend at Coachella with VIP passes. The first seat with Bezos sold for $28 million... for that price, the rocket better have reclining seats and a drink cart.

-----

Will Smith dropped a new album and, well... it landed with less of a slap and more of a soft tap. “Based On A True Story” sold only 268 copies in the UK—so basically just his extended family and a couple of curious Amazon shoppers. It didn’t even crack the Billboard 200 in the U.S., but he’s not giving up. He’s planning two more albums and a European tour. Say what you want—he slaps back.

-----

Ed Sheeran’s thinking about going country—and not just because he wore flannel once. He says Nashville’s his favorite U.S. city and he's already teamed up with Luke Combs and Chris Stapleton. But Ed insists he won’t just dip his boots in—he wants to do it right. Because, as we all know, once you go country, you never go... back to math rock? Alan Jackson warned us: "She’s gone country, look at them boots!"

-----

Eric Church is turning Red Rocks into Revival Rocks this July with three unique shows! July 12th, 13th, and 14th—three nights, three setlists, and probably three whiskey-soaked singalongs to “Springsteen.” It’s the kind of show that makes you scream, cry, and question why you ever left your cowboy hat in the car.
