Welcome to The List,
Morgan Wallen just dropped the tracklist for his new album I’m the Problem—and surprise! He wrote 22 of the 37 songs. Yup, thirty-seven. Man’s working harder than a coffee machine on Monday! He’s got his first-ever collab with a woman—Tate McRae—and some familiar voices like Post Malone, Eric Church, Hardy, and Ernest. It’s already breaking records before it’s out May 16th, and his tour kicks off June 20th in Houston. This thing’s about to explode like a beer can in a bonfire!

Aaron Rodgers says football’s not the only drama in his playbook—he’s got personal issues stealing the spotlight. On The Pat McAfee Show, he spilled that life’s been “interesting” since the Jets said buh-bye in February. These days, he’s lifting weights, soul-searching, and spooning with his dog, Apollo. As for retirement? He’s not ruling it out, saying, “I’m open to anything, attached to nothing.” Translation: he might throw one more pass… or start doing yoga in the woods with Shailene again.

The Daily Mail says Johnny Depp might be swash bucklin’ his way back into that eyeliner and rum breath as Captain Jack Sparrow in a brand-new Pirates of the Caribbean flick! Disney’s reportedly close to sealing the deal—yeah, even with all the past drama. Word is, the script’s done and this is a full-on reboot. Translation? More Jack. More chaos. And probably way more guyliner.

Brooks & Dunn will be honored the night before the 60th ACM Awards during the “Play Something Country” gala. Eric Church . . . Cody Johnson . . . Megan Moroney . . . Keith Urban . . . and Lainey Wilson will all be on-hand performing renditions of Brooks & Dunn’s biggest hits.

Welcome to The List,
It’s been 40 years since Live Aid rocked the world—literally. Back on July 13, 1985, Wembley and JFK Stadiums tag-teamed a global concert watched by nearly 2 billion people. And now? CNN’s dropping a 4-part doc, and the UK is throwing it a full-blown birthday party. That’s right—Live Aid’s old enough to complain about back pain now!

Ozzy Osbourne has officially hung up the bat wings. His last-ever concert—"Back to the Beginning"—went down July 5th in Birmingham with Black Sabbath and a parade of metal legends. It was epic, emotional, and charitable! When he sang “Mama I’m Coming Home,” even the devils in the mosh pit teared up.

Jelly Roll clapped back HARD at people calling his wife a gold digger. He said, "She was a high-end escort when I met her—I was the broke one living in a van!" And honestly? The man married up! So maybe stop judging and start taking notes, huh?

Parker McCollum was asked the most country thing he’s ever done… and buckle up: He said, “Rode a horse bareback. Naked. In Crocs.” I—what?! That is peak country chaos right there. And no, there are no plans for a repeat performance. His words, not mine.
