Miranda Lambert stopped her concert in Big Sky, Montana to scold a fan for not paying attention.

Nicolas Cage lives in Las Vegas, but he doesn’t indulge. He says, “If you really want to spiritually ascend, put yourself in the middle of Sin City and say no. Say no to that whiskey on the rocks, say no to that strip club, say no to that casino.” In my case, live next to a Krisy Kreme and say no to the “Hot Now” sign…good luck!

Chase Matthew tells CountryNow.com that he once chose his truck over his girlfriend. “I was dating this girl and she told me, ‘all you ever do is work on that truck and I feel like you love that truck more than me.’ She gave me the ultimatum….I kept the truck and lost her. Don’t know if I’d do the same thing now.

Will Ferrell turns 57 today. My favorite movie of his is the one where he plays that character that’s just like the characters he plays in all his other movies. Remember that one?

Welcome to The List,
Is Tom Bergeron coming back to Dancing with the Stars? Naughty But Nice says producers are seriously considering it. After his recent return, insiders say the crowd went nuts, ratings spiked, and backstage felt like the glory days. Now they want him to cross over from judge to contestant. One source said Tom didn’t just come back, he stole the show. And now they want him to steal the Mirrorball. Fired. Rehired. Rebranded. That’s a glow-up.

Thanks to Zootopia 2, the Indonesian pit viper is suddenly a trendy pet in China. Small issue though. It’s highly venomous. Chinese state media is now begging people to stop buying them. Because nothing says “bad idea” like letting a children’s movie convince you to bring home a snake that can medically ruin your week. Darwinism, at it’s finest….

Jelly Roll told Joe Rogan something wild. He says he thought he was colorblind for over twenty years. He could see basic shades but didn’t realize how colorful the world actually was. After losing weight and cutting out sugar, something changed. The moment it hit him was when he noticed a “new” purple tulip in his yard. His wife laughed and said it had been there for two years…HD vision unlocked.

Morgan Wallen told Country Now that becoming a dad completely changed his mindset. He admitted there was a time when he didn’t care who his actions affected. But once his son was born, he started thinking about the world differently and who he spends time with. That’ll do it. Nothing grows you up faster than realizing someone’s watching everything you do….and bolting down a few chairs…
