It's been a crazy year in country music, with what seems like more pop stars than ever throwing their hat in the ring for consideration by country fans and Recording Academy voters. Here's a complete list of the country and country-adjacent nominees for the 2025 Grammy's and a few of our thoughts in between. Continue reading Your 2025 Country Grammy Nominees→ Read More

Eh, same thing. It's not surprising that everybody's trying to distance themselves from Diddy these days. The disgraced rapper and producer (formerly known as Puff Daddy, and P. Diddy, whose real name is Sean Combs) was arrested back in September on charges of racketeering and sex trafficking. And the allegations paint a disturbing picture of Diddy as a sexual predator who hosted lavish parties attended by a who's who of celebrities that turned into "freak offs" where prostitutes and young victims would be sexually assaulted. In one of the more bizarre revelations, it was alleged that officials found 1,000 bottles of baby oil and lube in his apartment, leading his lawyer to issue the hilariously absurd defense that Diddy simply...likes to buy in bulk from Costco. Even Costco didn't want anything to do with Diddy though, and quickly came out and refuted his lawyer's claims by clarifying that the warehouse store doesn't even sell baby oil...much less cases of 1,000 bottles of the stuff. Yeah, he's going to prison. His lawyer clearly doesn't have anything to save him. Of course all of this has led many to question who else was involved and just how many (alleged) victims Diddy has assaulted or trafficked. His name is basically up there with Jeffrey Epstein now when it comes to sexual predators, and the "Diddy list" has been a hot topic as the public questions which celebrities took part in his despicable crimes. So it's no wonder Brooks & Dunn don't want to mention him in their song anymore. Everybody knows the classic hit "Play Something Country" from Kix and Ronnie's 2005 album Hillbilly Deluxe. The song became Brooks & Dunn's twentieth and final #1 hit to date when it reached the top of the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart, and the duo recently released a new… Read More
Yellowstone is BACK. And consider this your official spoiler alert.... if you're not caught up, scroll on through... It took all of five seconds for us to find out how they were going to write Kevin Costner out of the final season of Yellowstone, and yeah, they kicked it off with a bang... literally. John Dutton is found dead from a gunshot wound, Jamie receives an ominous phone call, Beth is irate, Kayce is emotional, and Jamie delivers the news to the state of Montana that his father died by suicide... all in the first few minutes. Now, of course there may be more to the story... Beth thinks Jamie did it, based on the weird phone call, it kinda seems like Jamie did it. Later in the episode we see Sarah Atwood give the green light to a hitman... without Jamie's knowledge. But something tells me Taylor Sheridan has a little more than the obvious up his sleeve. I'm still hoping for the Jamie Dutton redemption arc. We'll find out in due time, but Yellowstone fans were taken aback by the opening scene, and many were quick to voice their displeasure with both how quickly John was axed, and how it was done. I'm not sure what else people were expecting... I actually thought it was pretty good given the corner they were backed into when Costner decided not to return. Plus, John was never going to survive the series... it was never gonna happen. They took to X to blast Taylor Sheridan for doing John like that: Was Sheridan on drugs when he thought of this🤬🤬🤬#YellowstoneTV — Trey Bland (@treybland0911) November 11, 2024 Yeah. Not cool y’all.

I hope that nickname doesn't stick... then again, that's what they were calling Garth Brooks a few weeks ago... At the end of last week, Barstool's BFFs Podcast dropped the highly anticipated episode in which co-host Brianna Chickenfry told her story about her breakup with Zach Bryan. The breakup, heard around the world, has been the center of attention on the internet, as ZB has spent his time post-breakup pushing new music, and his ex, Brianna, was processing her feelings and figuring out how she wanted to tell her side of the story. The explosive episode shared that ZB allegedly offered her $12 million to sign an NDA, sharing stories of times he got mad at her over the silliest things. Overall, Brianna felt as though she experienced emotional abuse and was living in a very toxic relationship. But before she sat down on camera to tell her side, her other co-hosts, Dave Portnoy and Josh Richards, wanted to tell the world how they felt about Zach Bryan and dropped the brutal diss track, "Smallest Man." “You say you remember everything, I guess not because you forgot about your wedding ring This ain’t a subtweet, I ain’t coming subliminal, you’re great at being country without a second syllable My fist plus your face, simple addition The way you did her wrong, man is sickening...” The track left nothing on the table, calling out all of the alleged wrongdoings ZB did to Brianna. However, ZB's label, Warner, pulled the song off streaming platforms, and Portnoy and Richards were blocked from re-releasing the single as Richards is also signed to Warner. A hilarious plot twist... Portnoy released a new version of the diss track without Josh "Smallest Man (Dave's Version)" and hope no one can pull down the single this time. https://www.instagram.com/p/DCMpfOip99F/ That… Read More
Gotta get hot at the right time I guess. There's already been a lot of criticism over the NASCAR playoff system, which basically rewards drivers with a playoff spot for winning a race no matter how the rest of their season goes. The issue was especially highlighted after Harrison Burton won at Daytona and secured his spot in the playoffs, despite the fact that he was sitting 34th in the points at the time and basically had no shot of winning the championship. Burton taking a playoff spot meant guys like Ross Chastain, Bubba Wallace and Kyle Busch, all of whom were at least 15 spots ahead of Burton in the points standings, missed out on the playoffs because a driver scored a win at the right time. And the same can be said for Joey Logano, who just became the 2024 NASCAR Cup Series champion. The driver of the #22 for Team Penske had a Cinderella run in the playoffs, highlighted by a win today in the championship race at Phoenix, to take home his third Cup Series championship. But for most of the season, Logano wasn't even considered a championship contender. Through the first 26 races which make up the regular season, he had only 4 top 5 finishes and 8 top 10s. He also had 6 DNFs this season, and through the first 18 races of the season Logano was sitting at 14th in points and in serious risk of missing the playoffs. Then Logano managed to score a surprise victory at Nashville Superspeedway back in June after a wild finish that saw the #22 car stretch his fuel after a mediocre run to outlast his competition during a record 5 overtime periods. That strategy call vaulted Logano into the playoffs, where he seemingly flipped a switch… Read More
We can debate till we're blue in the face whether the Dallas Cowboys are deserving of their "America's Team" nickname given how little consequential winning they've done in the past few decades. Nevertheless, the Cowboys know how to put on a show, and Sunday's game against the Philadelphia Eagles was a major inflection point on a variety of levels. Yes, there are the on-field stakes of keeping pace with an NFC East rival as the Cowboys try to stay in the playoff hunt. But beyond that, ex-Dallas quarterback Tony Romo was in the broadcast booth. What's more, former President George W. Bush was on hand for the coin toss as part of the NFL's Salute to Service weekend event. https://twitter.com/JeffKolbFOX4/status/1855723505649656228 https://twitter.com/PatDoneyNBC5/status/1855725111447298161 https://twitter.com/ATTStadium/status/1855744702466654243 Texas became a sort of second home for Romo, as he rocked a Cowboys jersey from beginning to end before retiring, giving way to Dak Prescott, and launching an awesome TV career at CBS alongside Jim Nantz. He evidently has a ton of appreciation for Bush, who served in the White House for two terms by beating Al Gore in the 2000 election and John Kerry in 2004. Romo played for the Cowboys from 2003 to 2016, so quite a lot of overlap between the "W." administration and the star QB's Dallas tenure. Guess I didn't know the two were at all close, but it makes sense, as Bush was born in Connecticut but raised in Texas. It was cool to catch a bit of a personal moment from Romo, not to mention Nantz chiming in about a military cause Bush is supporting as part of the NFL's campaign to show appreciation for U.S. military veterans. https://twitter.com/awfulannouncing/status/1855746594270036135 Bush is supporting the Veteran Check-In, a mental health resource for military veterans and their families. Right around this time last… Read More
