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,
When Cole Swindell took a knee to propose to his now-wife Courtney Little, you’d think the nerves would be about the big question, right? Nope..It was her father…They tied the knot last summer in a swoony little ceremony in Sonoma.
-----
Morgan Wallen just dropped the news that his new album “I’m the Problem” comes out May 16th—because apparently, self-awareness is in this season. But wait—there’s more! He’s also launching “The Shop Sessions” on YouTube, where he performs acoustic versions of songs from the album in an old auto shop. Because nothing says heartbreak and horsepower like crooning next to a rusty carburetor. First one’s called “Just in Case,” and it's out now!
-----
Kanye West is back on Twitter, proving once again that his fingers need a chaperone. He’s now accusing Taylor Swift of having flings with Justin Bieber and Harry Styles. Naturally, Taylor sent him a cease-and-desist, but that might just be the beginning. A source says Travis Kelce wants to handle things “man-to-man.” Translation: Travis is ready to turn Kanye into Yeezy pâté. This isn't drama anymore—it’s defamation, harassment, and one very bad idea away from a tight end takedown.
-----
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are reportedly investigating why Hollywood doesn’t love them. Because when in doubt, start your own royal detective agency. Apparently, missing out on an Emmy nomination was a huge blow, and they believe there’s a coordinated hate campaign. So they’ve called in the big guns—Oprah, Ellen, and probably Scooby-Doo—to crack the case. I mean, when the whole world’s a palace of haters, who else do you trust but daytime TV royalty?
