Welcome to The List,
We start today with Carrie Underwood opening for Guns N’ Roses on Saturday in Canada. Fans were treated to a mix of her hits, plus covers of some iconic rock songs. Several videos of her performance have been making rounds. And we have the receipts…check them out on our website under The List. She did a great cover of the Heart classic “Alone”. (Here’s the video.) And she totally let loose on Motörhead’s “Ace of Spades”. (Here’s a clip of that.)

The Grand Ole Opry announced Tuesday (August 1st) that Jon Pardi will officially become a member on October 24th. Pardi was officially asked to join the Opry while performing at the Stagecoach festival in April. “When I first saw Guy (Fieri) on stage, I was like, ‘What is Guy doing on stage and how’d he get a microphone?’ He knew about it for a long time and like we’re buddies, he never said anything.” Pardi heads out on his headlining Mr. Saturday Night World Tour this month with dates coming up in the U.S., Canada, and several across Europe including stops in the U.K., before heading back stateside for his Oct. 24th Opry induction.

As the Barbie movie makes another $30-million at the box office. Mattel is releasing a Weird Barbie Doll. It costs $50. It’s description reads: ”If anyone knows anything about keeping it weird, it’s Weird Barbie, a breakout character from Barbie The Movie. It doesn’t end there…no, The New York Post says dozens of women have gotten a Barbie nose job. Plastic surgeons crafted their noses to look just like Barbie’s. Barbie nose jobs cost an average of $4,000 overseas while in the U.S. they can cost as much as $30,000. MY question is it Margot Robbie’s nose? Or …more of a triangular nose you might find on a doll let’s say….

Welcome to The List,
Shia LaBeouf went full Mardi Gras meltdown in New Orleans, getting arrested after a fight outside a bar and charged with simple battery. Paramedics showed up, Shia went to the hospital, and locals claimed he’d been “terrorizing the city.” But plot twist, after getting released, he was spotted dancing on Bourbon Street with his release papers in his mouth like it was a receipt from a wild night at Walgreens.

Miley Cyrus is dusting off the blonde wig for the Hannah Montana 20th Anniversary Special hitting Disney+ March 24th. They’re recreating the original sets, showing never-before-seen footage, Miley says Hannah will always be part of her, which makes sense, because that show launched her career and funded about half her wardrobe during the foam finger era. Somewhere Billy Ray just whispered, “Best of both worlds… and residual checks.”

Carrie Underwood might look like a country music superhero on stage, but at home she’s basically your Midwest grandma with better hair. She says she crochets, birdwatches, makes sourdough, brews kombucha, and even ferments her own hot sauce. Carrie says real life isn’t glam, it’s cleaning toilets, gardening, and doing laundry. So yes, America’s sweetheart could win a Grammy in the morning and yell at you in the afternoon for not using a coaster.

Jelly Roll and Bunnie XO just announced they’ve found a surrogate and are preparing to grow their family. Bunnie says after years of healing and getting stable, they’re ready to raise kids surrounded by love and give them everything they didn’t have growing up. Which means those kids will have emotional support, life wisdom, and probably the coolest bedtime stories ever told by a guy named Jelly Roll.
