Kip Moore says he doesn’t agree with all of the collaborations in between genres that go on at country music awards shows. He said, “Nick Jonas, just because he’s on the show . . . his fans aren’t gonna tune in, and the people that really love country are gonna say, ‘What is this?’ and then turn it off.”

The NY Post says Tracy Morgan was taken out of Madison Square Garden last night in a wheelchair after losing his lunch in his courtside seats. He became ill during the Knicks game. Morgan was hunched over and bleeding from the nose. The incident caused a brief delay in the game.

Welcome to The List,
Kim Kardashian just testified against the “grandpa robbers” who tied her up and stole her jewelry in Paris back in 2016. And how did she show up to court? In $7 million worth of diamonds—including a 52-carat necklace. That’s carat, not karat. She said when they broke in at 3am, she was in a bathrobe and thought she was going to die. So naturally, she dressed like a human vault to face them. Classic Kim.

Remember when Morgan Wallen peaced out of SNL faster than a dad at a toddler’s dance recital? He finally explained why: “I was ready to go home. I’d been there all week.” That’s it. No drama. No tantrum. Just a man who’d had enough New York. He even posted “Get me to God’s country” from the tarmac. Honestly? Mood.

George Strait turns 73 this Sunday and just hinted at when he’ll retire. He said he’s got about “five good years” left on stage. Which means the King of Country might still be touring at 78. The man’s been performing for over 50 years—since his Army days. And he’s still selling out shows. Last summer? Over 110,000 people packed into Texas A&M to see him. Legend status confirmed.

A new book says George Clooney called for Biden to drop out right after a fundraiser where... Biden didn’t recognize him. Clooney. The guy from Ocean’s Eleven. The one he’s known for years. The book says Clooney was “shaken to his core.” I mean, if George Clooney walked up to me and I said “Do I know you?”—I’d assume I’d been hit in the head with a frying pan.
