Welcome to The List,
Sheryl Crow and LeAnn Rimes are crashing “The Voice” as mega mentors! Sheryl’s teaming up with Kelsea Ballerini and Michael Bublé’s crews, while LeAnn Rimes is riding shotgun with John Legend and Adam Levine’s artists. The playoff rounds kick off April 28th, and honestly—if those singers don’t cry at least once during mentoring, did they even get mentored?

Post Malone is doubling—nah, tripling—down on country! After “F-1 Trillion” blew up, he hit Nashville twice more and cranked out 35 new songs. He’s hangin’ with Ernest, Hardy, and Thomas Rhett like it’s a honky-tonk slumber party. And no, his next album is NOT called “F-1 Quadrillion”… but how ICONIC would that be? Posty hits the road with Jelly Roll April 29th, and yes—it’s the Big [Butt] Tour. We said what we said.

Word is Carrie Underwood’s being too sweet on “American Idol.” One insider says, “She’s just not bringing the drama.” Apparently, the other judges are over her “pity party” vibes—and yes, Miley Cyrus was Plan A. But hey, when you want fire and settle for fairy dust, you get nicey-nice Carrie. Great for church… not so great for ratings.

Lainey Wilson’s gettin’ hitched! Wedding plans are movin’ slow, but they’re movin’. When asked if she wants a huge, celeb-stacked bash or a quiet, cozy “I do”—she said, “It’s gonna be small.” Which is wild, considering her career’s anything but. A low-key queen planning a low-key wedding? We’re here for it.

Welcome to The List,
How BA was Toby Keith? Oh, just casually flying out of Mosul after a USO show when he notices the helicopter’s flying sideways. He goes, “Why the heck are we tilting?” Pilot says, “Oh yeah, we were under fire.” Toby’s response? “Would’ve been nice to give a cowboy a shotgun or something.” Bro thought he was in a live-action country music video!

Ella Langley says she’s single and not dating anyone, so please stop asking her if she’s shacking up with some mysterious cowboy. She told MusicRow, and I quote, “If I do get into a relationship, my fans will be the first to know.” So, calm down, her only current relationship is with her guitar and a bottle of Jack.

Allegedly, Blake Lively and Taylor Swift are officially donezo—and not like “we’ll circle back” done, but “don't text me again” done. Sources say subpoenas, legal drama, and a harassment case involving Justin Baldoni have nuked the friendship. Blake’s apparently tired of chasing Taylor like she’s the last avocado toast in Brooklyn.

TMZ says Cobra Kai’s Martin Kove—yeah, Sensei Kreese himself—got kicked out of a fan convention for BITING a co-star’s arm. Alicia Hannah-Kim says he nearly drew blood and tried to kiss the bruise. Cops were called, no charges, but the guy basically turned a meet-and-greet into a UFC weigh-in. Sweep the leg? Nah. Apparently, he went for the forearm.
