The List for Thursday, April 24th 2025

Welcome to The List,

Zach Top just confessed in Billboard that he used to dream of being a cowboy… until he realized he was terrible at being one. Like, no rope skills, no yee, no haw. So instead, he grabbed a guitar and decided to sing about cowboys instead. Honestly, that’s the country version of “fake it till you make it.”

Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez are getting married in Venice, Italy—and when billionaires throw a wedding, they don’t just rent a ballroom… they buy the whole ZIP code. A source says the wedding’s gonna cost 800 MILLION dollars. That’s not a wedding, that’s the Marvel Cinematic Universe of matrimony. Oprah and DiCaprio are on the guest list. Bezos is walking down the aisle, and the economy is walking off a cliff.

Ben Affleck says his kids have to get jobs. Why? Because one of ‘em asked for a pair of $6,000 sneakers. And Ben was like, “Nah, bro. You want kicks that cost more than my back tattoo? Get a W-2.” Honestly, imagine telling your 10-year-old, “Here’s your lunchbox and your LinkedIn password.”

Country singer Riley Green says he’s been auditioning lately and might try his hand at acting. Which makes sense. He already has that whole “guy who walks into a bar in a Hallmark movie and changes your life” look. If he pulls this off, he’ll be the first country star to go from singing about heartbreak to pretending to be heartbroken… professionally!

The List for Thursday, June 19th 2025

Welcome to The List,

Lainey Wilson's getting her own exhibit at the Country Music Hall of Fame called “Tough as Nails.” It opens July 18th and runs through next June. From Louisiana farm girl to CMA queen — it’s like Cinderella, but with bell bottoms and a banjo.

-----

Dolly Parton just roasted the real-life Jolene like a Thanksgiving turkey. She said, “She’s not so hot now... used to be a D-cup, now she’s in Depends.” I mean, dang Dolly — that wasn't shade, that was a total eclipse.

-----

Word is Travis Kelce is cracking under the pressure of juggling touchdowns and Taylor Swift. He's trying to live two lives: NFL beast by day, Swiftie arm candy by night. And apparently? It’s catching up with him. Rumors say he might hang up the cleats early — or just pass out from exhaustion mid-rom-com marathon.

-----

Troy Aikman just bought a place near Prince Harry and Meghan in Montecito — but don’t expect royal backyard BBQs. Troy says he hasn’t seen 'em, doesn’t plan to, and doubts they’re fans of light beer anyway. Translation: “I live near them, but I ain’t with them.” Iconic.

The List for Wednesday, June 18th 2025

Welcome to The List,

Willie Nelson says he’s done smoking pot. Yep—he’s hung up the lighter and picked up the gummy bears. In a “Forbes” interview, he said his lungs officially filed a complaint, so now he sticks to edibles. Just picture it: Willie chillin’ on the bus, snacking like a stoned grandma at bedtime.

-----

Liquid Death sold ten empty cans of iced tea... that Ozzy Osbourne drank from. They were $450 each, came with his DNA and a personal autograph. And YES—they sold out instantly. Because nothing says "collector’s item" like sipping what's basically Ozzy's rock 'n’ roll backwash.

-----

Jeff Gordon says Tom Cruise is doing Days of Thunder 2! Apparently, Tom saw Jeff at the “Mission: Impossible” premiere and opened with, “We’re doing it.” Because Tom Cruise doesn’t small talk—he sequel talks. Let’s hope the cars are fast and the acting is... well, Tom Cruise-ish.

-----

Big love to Jelly Roll and Bunnie XO—she shared a video crying tears of joy after finally getting good news on their IVF journey. Five months of struggle, and then—bam—miracle moment. And somewhere, God whispered, “Alright already, here you go.” Man, pass the tissues and the happy dance.
