Carrie Underwood’s hitting the road for a massive headlining tour in support of her new album, Denim & Rhinestones, this fall. The singer says her two sons — 7-year-old Isaiah and 3-year-old Jacob — won’t be coming along for the ride, for one simple reason: it conflicts with the school year.

“My oldest is in school, so I don’t really want him to miss out on the normalcy of being there,” Carrie explains to E! News’ Daily Pop. However, she says that she’ll get to see her kids when she can, adding that they “will probably come out on the road with us maybe more on the weekends.”

Isaiah and Jacob have had plenty of chances to see their country superstar mom’s shows. They attended her Las Vegas residency earlier this year and during a recent appearance at the Grand Ole Opry, they made a hilarious cameo in the background, doing what one fan who captured video footage described as “breakdancing.”

While Carrie’s boys may not make it out to the Denim & Rhinestones Tour this year, the trek will still be a party: Carrie is bringing Jimmie Allen as direct support for the show.

Ariana Grande has added a new piece of real estate to her collection. She paid $4.9 million to snatch up Cameron Diaz‘s spare Hollywood Hills mansion in what appears to be an off-market deal.

Housing tracker Dirt reports the cul-de-sac property offers sweet views of Los Angeles’ famed Sunset Strip, as well as privacy and security offerings fit for a Hollywood A-lister. The home is protected by a big gate, and is surrounded by hedges and trees to prevent wandering eyes from peeking in.

Ari also won’t have to deal with neighbors, as Diaz also owns the house next door, but the Something About Mary actress hasn’t lived on the premises in over two decades. 

Not much else is known about the home because it never hit the market, but the outlet found the home was built in 1950, is roughly 1,800 square feet and it sits upon a half-acre lot. Diaz acquired the property in 2004 after paying $1.8 million for it and used it as a “buffer” property.

The actress intended to demolish Ariana’s new home in 2009 to construct a much larger residence, but things never progressed passed the planning stage. In 2018, Diaz updated the home with a new roof and windows.  She also made the kitchen bigger, added a powder room and updated the residence’s two bathrooms.  

The outlet notes the property does not offer a pool, but the half-acre lot provides plenty of space for Ariana to install one should she choose.

The singer owns several other properties, including a $9 million mansion in the area. She also owns Ellen DeGeneres‘ old estate in Montecito, California.

The Jonas Brothers rarely perform their 2007 song “Inseparable” — but they made a big exception for a soon-to-be bride over the weekend.

The trio just wrapped their Las Vegas residency, and during their final dates, a bachelorette party was in the crowd. In a video shared to their Instagram, the women were seen taking over the front row and waving signs of the bride-to-be’s song request.

The JoBros asked when the wedding was — it’s set for October 8 — and they found out the bride got engaged at their show in Red Rocks, Colorado last year. The video included the throwback footage of the moment the trio noticed something special was going down in the crowd.

The bride-to-be requested they play “Inseparable,” to which Nick Jonas says they “haven’t played [that song] in almost 12 or 13 years.” He then looks to his brothers Joe and Kevin Jonas and asks, “Are you guys down?”

“Let’s see if we remember,” Joe calls out and points at the bridal party, “This is for you!… Congratulations.”

The JoBros had no trouble recalling the hit and dove into the song, which caused the women to scream with delight. The bride-to-be is even caught wiping away some happy tears as the crowd loudly sings along with Nick.

“Our Red Rocks Proposal came to celebrate her Bachelorette Party with us in Vegas so we had to play this song for her,” the band captioned the sweet post.

On the final night of the annual country music festival in Nashville Sunday, the country superstar shared photos from her seat inside Nissan Stadium, watching Lady A‘s set.

Along with the single premiere, In Flames has announced a U.S. headlining tour, set to launch September 6 in Boston. The band Vended, which features the sons of Slipknot members Corey Taylor and Shawn “Clown” Crahan, is among the openers.

Jason Aldean isn’t having much trouble with his latest single. 

After claiming the #1 spot on country radio with “Trouble With a Heartbreak” last month, the song has again ascended to the top of the charts, bringing his total to three weeks. This marks the first song in more than a decade to reenter at #1 since Taylor Swift‘s “Mean” accomplished the feat in 2011. 

“It’s a really big deal to me to have a three-week No. 1, especially after all these years doing what we do,” Jason says in a statement. “The support of country radio and the fans makes me that much more ready to see all of you back out on the road.”

“Trouble” follows Jason’s previous chart-topper off his new album, Macon, “If I Didn’t Love You” featuring Carrie Underwood. 

The Georgia native will embark on his Rock N’ Roll Cowboy Tour on July 15, with Gabby Barrett, Tracy Lawrence and more to serve as opening acts.

Post Malone is a dad! The rapper has welcomed a little girl with his fiancée.

TMZ reports Post guested on Howard Stern‘s show Monday and made an off-handed remark at the end of his interview, where he revealed, “I woke up at 2:30 in the afternoon. I went and I kissed my baby girl and then I went and played some [music].”

Stern’s antenna went off and the radio host asked the nine-time Grammy nominee if he heard correctly. “We didn’t know you had a daughter,” said Stern, to which Post confirmed, “That’s my daughter!”

The singer admitted he likes to keep things about his private life, well, private, adding that those in his inner circle are allowed to make their “own decisions” about when to break major news.

Post also confirmed he proposed to the mother of his child, addressing her as his “fiancée,” but declined to reveal her name or how long they’ve been together. The singer did not reveal when he intends to tie the knot.

He also declined to reveal the name of his child or when they welcomed her into the world.

The rapper only revealed in May that he had a little one on the way. In early June, he told Apple Music 1’s Zane Lowe he is “pumped beyond belief” to become a dad.

“I’m going to be a hot dad,” he also declared, later revealing he’s wanted to be a father since he was a kid.
