Welcome to The List,
Carrie Underwood might not be feelin’ Idol anymore. Word is she’s over the drama, underwhelmed by the paycheck, and looking at the exit like it’s a bedazzled escape hatch. Apparently, she wants more cash—because surviving that many bad auditions should come with hazard pay, honestly.

Fresh outta prison and already asking for Kardashian money? Todd and Julie Chrisley reportedly want a seven-figure deal for a new show. TV execs are like, “Cute. But your last gig ended with jumpsuits and court dates.” Might wanna ease into the comeback with a YouTube channel.

Country star Megan Moroney just dropped the simplest breakup cure: BLOCK. ‘Em. Hard stop. She says it’s not petty, it’s survival. And let’s be real, if the only thing stopping you from texting your ex is not seeing their name… BLOCK TWICE. Bonus points if you delete their mama too.

Prince Harry lost his court battle for taxpayer-funded bodyguards, and now Meghan Markle is reportedly fuming. Not just because of the $2 million legal bill—but because they’ve gotta dig into investments now?! Oh, the horror. Can someone Venmo the royals? Times are tough in Montecito.

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!
