Welcome to The List –
Brett Young says it’s going to be hard to top his hit “Lady” because it’s so personal … ” This is literally a song about my wife to my daughter. I don’t know that I’ll ever do anything that personal. Not because I don’t want to; I just don’t know that there’s something that personal that I can ever do again.”
Thomas Rhett Says “What’s Your Country Song” Includes A Shout-Out To His Father, Rhett Akins … ” I remember the first line that I spit out was, ‘Are you heart broke because you know that ain’t your truck in her drive,’ literally as a joke, just cause dad was sitting there. And as we started to write the song, it felt like it just fit. It was pretty funny, but I’m glad Dad got a shout out in that song.”
The Wrap says Sharon Osbourne is leaving “The Talk”. She and her co-hosts got into an argument after she defended Piers Morgan’s offensive comments about Meghan Markle. Perez Hilton says Sharon plans to sue CBS. They quote a source as saying, “She feels a few suits at CBS have really have got it in for her. Sharon won’t let this go.”
The Voice is scheduled to begin its first Battle Rounds of Season 20 tonight, but you’ll notice a new face sitting in coach Kelly Clarkson’s chair. Kelly will be absent from the show due to an illness, so if you’re wondering where she is, there’s no need to worry. The Battle Rounds were filmed in January, and Clarkson will soon be back in her red chair on the show — but in the meantime, she called in country music star Kelsea Ballerini to take her place.

Welcome to The List,
Game show host Chuck Woolery died on Saturday at his home in Texas. . . . TMZ reports that he went to lie down because he wasn't feeling well.
Chuck was the original host of "Wheel of Fortune" back in the late '70s . . . he went on to host the "Scrabble" game show in the '80s . . . and of course "Love Connection" from 1983 to 1994.
He also did some later shows, like "Lingo" on the Game Show Network, and "Greed" on Fox.
There's no word on a cause of death, Chuck Woolery was 83…

"Billboard" put out their list of the Top 100 Country Singers of All Time . . . and some folks are less than pleased. Specifically, because Taylor Swift was ranked above Brooks & Dunn, Hank Williams Jr., and Toby Keith. Also, Jason Aldean didn't even make the list at all..what’s THAT all about…..

Kansas City Chiefs superstar Patrick Mahomes is making around $50 million a year. But now, his wallet will be 0.03% LIGHTER . . . thanks to FINGER GUNS.
The NFL has fined Patrick $14,069 for the "violent gesture" he made last week, while celebrating a touchdown. He'd just scored on Buffalo, and Patrick used both hands to mimic firing dual pistols.
Let's be honest . . . he wouldn't have been fined for mimicking a bow and arrow . . . throwing knives . . . or dramatically acting out the extremely violent "finishing moves" from "Mortal Kombat". (Although that would be amusing.)
