Mile Marker 66.6 in New Jersey, Bat Cave North Carolina, even as recent at 420 Ave…these are some of the most stolen popular street signs in America…it’s not uncommon that some towns proud of their famous people like to tell new commers that they are the home of…let’s say Carly Pearce…and the sign or signs in this case get stolen!! “Wow! I didn’t know that the other one was stolen as well. If this is a super fan and I hope that they hear this, just DM me that you want tickets to a show. “Adding…that it’s not affecting HER…it’s affecting her TOWN…and she’d like to see it stop.

Here’s a trivia question that’s timely. Do you remember the country music video that featured Amber Heard?’ Need a hint? She played the grown daughter who “headed off to the West Coast” . . . breaking her dad’s heart in the process. Yep, it was Kenny Chesney’s “There Goes My Life” video, which came out in 2003.
While we’re on the subject. Old Dominion did a pop-up show last week in Tampa, Florida . . . and at one point Kenny joined them to perform his song, “Save It for a Rainy Day”. It was co-written by a couple of guys in Old Dominion.

Welcome to The List,
Shaboozey tells People magazine that his Nigerian parents shaped his hustle. His dad worked menial jobs in the U.S. after hardships in Africa, and his mom—who wasn't a fan of his music dream—now joins him onstage. From skeptical to stage mom? That’s a full-circle flex.

Rachel Brosnahan found out she was playing Lois Lane… in a public bathroom. She got a call from “Maybe James Gunn”—and prayed a toilet didn’t flush during the big moment. Honestly? That’s the most relatable superhero origin story I’ve ever heard.

Allegedly, Kim Kardashian felt overshadowed by Sydney Sweeney at Jeff Bezos’ wedding—like invisible-level ignored. She had her eyes on Tom Brady, but he only had eyes for Sydney. Now Kim’s spiraling, thinking four kids and a 40-something birthday might be killing her ‘It Girl’ vibe. Spoiler: it’s not the kids, Kim.
