Welcome to The List,
The Sun says Carrie Underwood’s future on American Idol is “uncertain.” Basically, She realized L.A. traffic, network execs, and pretending to care about karaoke auditions isn’t worth the Botox. Word is she’s homesick and done with playing Hollywood Barbie. So don’t be shocked if she Carrie-underwhelms us with a dramatic exit.

The Tennessee Board of Parole wants to pardon Jelly Roll’s past felony. Yep, the guy who sounds like a breakfast menu item might soon be squeaky clean on paper! Jelly told the board, “I want to be an inspiration.” And he is—mainly for anyone who thinks face tattoos will ruin your job prospects. Spoiler: They don’t…

Morgan Wallen and Post Malone now have their own plush toys. Because nothing says “bad boy energy” like a $29.99 stuffed version of yourself. TikTok’s Country Plushie is selling them—and no one’s sure if Morgan or Posty even approved. But hey, who needs permission when you’ve got polyester and a dream?

Apparently, Meghan Markle’s podcast is getting the cold shoulder from A-listers. No Beyoncé. No Taylor. Not even a “Who dis?” from Hailey Bieber. A source says the show just isn’t landing. Which is Hollywood-speak for “We’ve all muted her number.” Yikes. Even the phone is like, new number, who Duchess?

Welcome to The List,
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are allegedly hitting a rough patch not over romance, but over the prenup. An insider claims the financial talks are “cold-hearted,” mostly because their bank accounts look like they’re from two different planets. Travis wants to play another season or two and eventually jump into broadcasting, and apparently Taylor’s not thrilled with that plan. The source says there is supposed to be a wedding this offseason… but right now the negotiations look less like love and more like Shark Tank.

Willie Nelson is fed up with the internet declaring him dead every other week and he finally said something. He posted a photo of himself snoozing on a couch with the caption, “If you believe those A.I. death stories one more time.” For months, fake AI posts claimed he collapsed, was hospitalized, or worse. None of it true. Willie’s still here, still laughing, still alive… and more coherent than some of the people posting about him.

Diddy allegedly thinks someone in his own family sold him out after 50 Cent got access to leaked footage for the Netflix documentary ‘The Reckoning’. The footage shows him distressed on a phone call and Diddy is reportedly determined to figure out who leaked it. He believes only family had access to something that sensitive. And after watching parts of the doc myself? Yeah… “eye-opening” is putting it lightly. This story gets messier by the hour.

Luke Combs told ESPN he wants to headline the Super Bowl halftime show and watch his Carolina Panthers win that same game. Bold. Very bold. He said he grew up in Charlotte when the Panthers became a team, so it’s “in his blood.” Look, we love the confidence but asking for a halftime slot and a Panthers Super Bowl victory is what scientists call “a miracle.”
