Welcome to The List,
Luke Combs just picked up 34 new certifications from the RIAA over the weekend. That’s not a typo—thirty-four. That officially makes him the second-highest selling country artist of all time. So yeah, Luke’s not just crying at your wedding—he’s crying all the way to the bank.

Brantley Gilbert stopped mid-song when a fan fainted—cleared the crowd, checked on her himself, and then went full WWE on a lazy security guard: “Don’t stand there in a uniform if you ain’t gonna do sh—. Go on somewhere. Bye!” Crowd erupted. Security probably updated their LinkedIn.

Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom are reportedly done. “People” magazine says the couple’s been on the rocks, and it’s basically over. They’ve been together since 2016 and have a daughter, Daisy, who turns 5 in August. Well, love may bloom… but sometimes it just wilts.

Rob Lowe admits his favorite workout song is “the cheesiest thing in the world.” And what is it? “Eye of the Tiger.” That’s right—straight outta Rocky 3. He says he won’t max out without it. Meanwhile, if he’s running? No music. Just raw-dogging the wind like a true ‘80s action hero.

When I heard that Alex Miller was opening for Rodney Atkins at the Marion County Fair. I knew I had to try and arrange a visit with him in the KIX studio. Thanks to his promoter JR Hughes and Alex's management for making it happen!!
Here is part 2 of Alex's visit!!

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.
-----
Dolly Parton is out here defying the laws of music and gravity—she just dropped a duet with Motley Crue. Yeah, THAT Motley Crue. They re-did “Home Sweet Home” for its 40th anniversary, and boom—it’s now #1 on the Classic Rock chart. Dolly said country roads? Nah, we’re taking the rock highway now!
