Welcome to The List,
Kevin Bacon had a harrowing experience recently..something you and I deal with every day..He once put on a disguise and spent a day as a regular person, and it SUCKED. Quote, “People were kind of pushing past me, not being nice. Nobody said, ‘I love you.’ I had to wait in line…what a hard life…

Lainey Wilson tells American Songwriter magazine that she finds inspiration from her rural upbringing. “Growing up in a small town taught me a lot about life, hard work, and community. It’s those experiences that shape my music and keep me grounded in who I am.” Lainey has new music out 4x4xU from her new album ‘Whirlwind’ dropped today…

OK! Magazine says Ben Affleck is sad that he and JLo didn’t work out. A source says, “Jennifer was Ben’s dream woman. It was drama all the time. Jennifer has a big entourage that follows her around daily — glam squad, videographers, photographers, assistants, trainers. She’s tried to make Ben understand that being Jennifer Lopez is a 24/7 job. She is her brand, she lives and breathes it while Ben can leave his work at the door if he chooses to.

Morgan Wallen tells Billboard magazine that he is striving to maintain normalcy despite his fame. “I try to hold on to as much normalcy as possible. I like driving, so I try to drive as much as I can by myself. I play my shows, I hang out with my son, and I hide pretty much. And I’m OK with that. I’m happy as heck with that.”…until he drinks…and he gets within a few feet of a chair I guess…

Do you remember who played the part of Marty McFly in the movie "Back To The Future"?
Welcome to The List,
Eric Dane, best known as McSteamy on Grey’s Anatomy, has passed away at 53 after battling ALS. He first revealed his diagnosis last April, but symptoms began earlier in 2024. His family says he spent his final days surrounded by his wife, daughters, and close friends, and he used his fight to raise awareness for ALS research.

William Shatner is officially going metal…because apparently retirement is for people without a spaceship. The 94 year old icon is releasing a heavy metal album featuring covers of Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, and Judas Priest, plus original songs with 35 metal legends. He says metal is where imagination gets loud, which explains a lot about Captain Kirk. There’s nothing more metal than a man eligible for social security since Nixon.

Jelly Roll is officially becoming a member of the Grand Ole Opry on March 10th, and Lainey Wilson will be there to welcome him in. He first found out back in December when Craig Morgan surprised him with the invitation, and now Craig will perform at the induction too. It’s one of country music’s highest honors, and proof that redemption stories hit harder than any guitar solo.

Kane Brown is the latest country star to plant his flag on Broadway in Nashville with his own entertainment venue. Kane Brown’s on Broadway will feature a full restaurant, bar, and live music, which basically guarantees fans will spend money while singing his songs badly. Every country star gets a bar eventually, it’s practically a rite of passage. At this point, Nashville Broadway is less a street and more a country music theme park.
