Welcome to The List,
If you ever wanted to know why Eric Church wears sunglasses onstage all the time? Now we know…apparently, it’s because his eyes don’t self-lubricate well, so his contacts used to dry up under the hot lights and he’d go blind….

Radar Online reports Vin Diesel is upset with producers for rejecting his $250 million budget request for Fast 11. Universal execs are urging him to lower the budget due to the previous film’s lackluster box office showing. Vin has to prove to the studio that fans will show up in huge numbers” to witness the end of the saga. Which is NOT what happened for Fast X….

We now know the only reason that country legend George Jones lived past 1963 is because he ate Patsy Cline’s fried chicken. Sounds strange but she got so mad at him that she wouldn’t let him on the plane back to Nashville. That plane crashed killing Patsy and everyone onboard.

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.
