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,
Oh look—Riley Green and Megan Moroney are still playing the “we’re just friends” game. Yeah, because just friends take tropical vacations together and hang out in small-town Alabama like it’s a Hallmark movie. Blink twice if y’all are dating... or filming the world’s slowest rom-com.

Zach Top just dropped news of his second album, called “Ain’t in It for My Health,” out August 29th—because clearly, he’s in it for the beers and the bangers. And speaking of, he just released a summer jam called “Good Times and Tan Lines.” Yes please.

Welp, Justin Baldoni’s $400 million lawsuit against Blake Lively just got booted out of court—faster than a toddler at a Metallica concert. No word on what’s next, but I’m guessing fewer lawyers and more PR people.

A true music legend—Sly Stone—has passed away at 82 after a battle with COPD. The funk-rock pioneer changed the game forever. Rest easy, Sly… and thank you for the groove that made a million hips lie.
