Welcome to The List,
Thomas Rhett has a foot in two different worlds. He’s a country star dealing with all the pressures around that. And he’s a father of four girls ages seven to one. Yes, he loves it . . . when he’s able to come up for air. “It’s one thing to be responsible for your own schedule and well-being, but it’s a whole other thing when you’re in charge of four other humans. Quote, “It’s your fault if your kids are late, if their lunch isn’t packed correctly, if their homework isn’t finished. We’re trying to keep up with that and extra-curricular activities . . . gymnastics, dance, and all these things. It’s a blast though, I’m lovin’ it.”

Pop Culture magazine says Prince Harry slams Elvis Presley and Graceland in his new memoir “Spare”. He writes, “People variously called the house a castle, a mansion, a palace. I stood in one tiny room with loud furniture and shag carpet and thought, ‘The King’s interior designer must have been on acid.'”

Blake Shelton broke ground on a new Ole Red location in Las Vegas. It’s located on the Strip, right across from the Bellagio, and it’s due to open in the fall.

In her new Netflix documentary, “Pamela, A Love Story,” Pamela Anderson claims, Sylvester Stallone wanted to date her. Saying “He offered me a condo and a Porsche to be his ‘No. 1 girl’ He goes ‘That’s the best offer you’re gonna get, honey. You’re in Hollywood now.’
Stallone’s reps say, “The statement from Pamela Anderson attributed to my client is false and fabricated. Earlier it was reported that Tim Allen flashed her on the set of “Home Improvement which he said never happened.

This is the time of year we get to hear bits and pieces of what we missed at Luke Bryan’s annual Crash My Playa in Mexico. Yesterday, Carly Pearce posted a TikTok of herself and Cole Swindell performing “Never Say Never”.

Some ladies my view Brett Young as the perfect husband because he tells Music Mayhem magazine that he does what he’s told when he’s at home. “That’s her house man. She’s the leader of the household. When I’m home, her word is law. I just say “Yes ma’am” and do what I’m told.”

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!
