Welcome to The List,
Jennifer Aniston’s dating life is stuck on pause. Allegedly, the guys think she’s a snooze fest. A source says she’s great for a first date, but by date two, it’s “same martini bar or just Netflix at home.” Basically, she’s stuck in first gear. But hey—at least she’s not insane… at least we don’t think she is.

Skinny is the new swole—for teen boys?! Yep, the NY Post says guys are now chasing that Timothée Chalamet toothpick look. Parents say kids are skipping meals and using calorie-tracking apps to get that lean, artsy vibe. So, goodbye protein shakes—hello black coffee and brooding.

Jelly Roll just made “American Idol” history as the show’s first-ever artist-in-residence. And he’s already getting misty-eyed! Contestant Jamal Roberts crushed Jelly’s own song, “Liar,” so hard, Jelly said, “It’s not even my song anymore—it’s Jamal’s.” Lionel, Carrie, and Luke all agreed: that boy’s got chops!

Garth Brooks has reportedly packed on 40 pounds— not from the tour bus snacks, but from stress-eating over his upcoming harassment trial. A source says the whispers are keeping him up at night, and his midnight snacks are clocking overtime. Now it’s less “Friends in Low Places” and more “Snacks in All Spaces.”

Welcome to The List,
The guitar Michael J. Fox absolutely obliterates at the Enchantment Under the Sea dance? In Back to the Future? Yeah, it’s been missing since 1985—poof, gone, like Biff’s dignity. It’s a cherry red Gibson ES-345 and Gibson’s basically playing musical “Wanted” posters to get it back. Even Marty himself is pleading for its return in a video. Bonus fact: the guitar’s from the '60s, even though the scene was set in '55. So not only is it missing—it’s a time-traveling anachronism. Perfect...

Jason Aldean just torched the whole encore charade. He said, “I’m not gonna leave the stage, make you beg, then stroll back out like it’s a surprise.” No, sir—he plays it all, drops the mic, and that’s it. Respect. None of this “Oh gee, did you really want to hear ‘Dirt Road Anthem?’” Dude, we know it's coming. This ain’t a magic show. It’s country music, not Criss Angel.

Allegedly, Blake Lively just got booted from Taylor Swift’s inner circle, and she’s forming her own squad—less pop stars, more...whoever’s available. Sources say Taylor’s over the drama, and Blake’s out here auditioning new friends like it’s The Real Housewives of Manhattan. No tears, just a chilled glass of “watch me glow up without you.” The pettiness? Vintage. The revenge arc? Chef’s kiss.

Headed to CMA Fest? Buckle up, honky-tonk hero. First, it's a clear bag only situation—so unless your purse is see-through like your ex’s promises, leave it at home. Ditch the cowboy boots too unless you’re into blisters and bad decisions. Oh, and plot twist—you don’t have to pay to see music. There’s free music all over the place. It’s like Coachella, but with more denim and less judgment.
