Welcome to The List,
Scotty McCreery will be inducted into the Grand Ole Opry on April 20th. Josh Turner will be doing the honors. It’s a full-circle moment because Scotty auditioned for “American Idol” in 2011 with Josh’s hit, “Your Man”, then went on to win Season 10.

Sylvester Stallone is so nervous about his two oldest daughters moving to New York City that he hired Navy SEALs to train them in self-defense. The girls also had to chase a chicken, just like their dad did in “Rocky 2”. Sistine says it’s deceivingly hard and she got beat by the chicken. You can see it on the season two premiere of “The Family Stallone”. It airs Wednesday at 9:30 p.m. on MTV, and streaming on Paramount+.

Jelly Roll is loved by nearly everyone, so it comes as a bit of a surprise that he was once sued by Waffle House. Back in 2013, Jelly was an underground rapper and put out a mixtape called, “Whiskey, Weed, and Waffle House”. So, you can understand how they could get a little upset. Jelly says, he was 450 pounds and should have sued Waffle House 10 years ago. Do you know how many All-Star Breakfasts I have bought in my life? I might’ve stopped at 330!”

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.
