Welcome to The List,
Dolly Parton’s taking over the Country Music Hall of Fame, and it’s shinier than a disco ball at a rhinestone rodeo. This new exhibit is full of glitter, glam, and six decades of fabulous. Dolly even teared up, saying, “It’s a long way from the Smoky Mountains to the top of the world.”

So apparently, we’re canonizing craft brews now? Chicago’s Burning Bush Brewery just dropped a new beer called “Da Pope,” inspired by Pope Leo XIV—because nothing says holiness like hops. It’s an American mild ale with fruity notes. So yeah, if you’ve ever wanted to drink the spirit of Chicago’s papal pride… now’s your chance to get buzzed and blessed.

Morgan Wallen’s new rap-cover of “Miami” is catching heat—and not the good kind. People say it sounds like he teamed up with Alvin and the freakin’ Chipmunks. The chorus? High-pitched and autotuned within an inch of its life. Once you hear it, you can’t unhear it. It’s giving… helium karaoke. Bless his autotuned little heart.

Shakira’s hips don’t lie—but apparently someone’s immune system did. Someone with measles showed up at her MetLife Stadium show in New Jersey. No confirmed cases yet, but symptoms could pop up through June 6th. So if you went… congrats, you didn’t just get a concert—you might’ve got a souvenir virus. Thanks for the germs, mystery patient zero!

Welcome to The List,
Roseanne Barr says they asked her to come back to The Conners... as a ghost. She told Female First, “You killed me off, stole my show, and NOW you want me back ‘cause your ratings are in the toilet?” Her official response? “I’ll be busy… bowling.” Translation: hard pass, Casper.

Jason Aldean’s wife Brittany just lived out every Southern girl’s nightmare. She posted a video of a snake just chillin’ at their front door like it was there to sell cookies. You hear her go, “This is what nightmares are made of!” No ma’am. That’s what FLAMETHROWERS are made for.

If you're a Stranger Things junkie and haven’t emotionally recovered from Season 4 yet, good news! A new animated spinoff called Tales from '85 is coming next year. It fills in the winter gap between Seasons 2 and 3. Same Hawkins weirdness—just now with cartoons and probably fewer nosebleeds.

Wanna drink where the country stars pretend to be regular people? The top-rated bars are in! We got Old Dominion’s Odie’s, Luke Combs’ Category 10—which sounds like a hurricane and a hangover—and of course Blake Shelton’s Ole Red. Honky tonk? More like honky bougie.
