The List for Thursday, May 15th 2025

Welcome to The List,

Kim Kardashian just testified against the “grandpa robbers” who tied her up and stole her jewelry in Paris back in 2016. And how did she show up to court? In $7 million worth of diamonds—including a 52-carat necklace. That’s carat, not karat. She said when they broke in at 3am, she was in a bathrobe and thought she was going to die. So naturally, she dressed like a human vault to face them. Classic Kim.

Remember when Morgan Wallen peaced out of SNL faster than a dad at a toddler’s dance recital? He finally explained why: “I was ready to go home. I’d been there all week.” That’s it. No drama. No tantrum. Just a man who’d had enough New York. He even posted “Get me to God’s country” from the tarmac. Honestly? Mood.

George Strait turns 73 this Sunday and just hinted at when he’ll retire. He said he’s got about “five good years” left on stage. Which means the King of Country might still be touring at 78. The man’s been performing for over 50 years—since his Army days. And he’s still selling out shows. Last summer? Over 110,000 people packed into Texas A&M to see him. Legend status confirmed.

A new book says George Clooney called for Biden to drop out right after a fundraiser where… Biden didn’t recognize him. Clooney. The guy from Ocean’s Eleven. The one he’s known for years. The book says Clooney was “shaken to his core.” I mean, if George Clooney walked up to me and I said “Do I know you?”—I’d assume I’d been hit in the head with a frying pan.

The List for Thursday, July 10th 2025

Welcome to The List,

Shaboozey tells People magazine that his Nigerian parents shaped his hustle. His dad worked menial jobs in the U.S. after hardships in Africa, and his mom—who wasn't a fan of his music dream—now joins him onstage. From skeptical to stage mom? That’s a full-circle flex.

-----

Rachel Brosnahan found out she was playing Lois Lane… in a public bathroom. She got a call from “Maybe James Gunn”—and prayed a toilet didn’t flush during the big moment. Honestly? That’s the most relatable superhero origin story I’ve ever heard.

-----

Allegedly, Kim Kardashian felt overshadowed by Sydney Sweeney at Jeff Bezos’ wedding—like invisible-level ignored. She had her eyes on Tom Brady, but he only had eyes for Sydney. Now Kim’s spiraling, thinking four kids and a 40-something birthday might be killing her ‘It Girl’ vibe. Spoiler: it’s not the kids, Kim.

-----

Dolly Parton is out here defying the laws of music and gravity—she just dropped a duet with Motley Crue. Yeah, THAT Motley Crue. They re-did “Home Sweet Home” for its 40th anniversary, and boom—it’s now #1 on the Classic Rock chart. Dolly said country roads? Nah, we’re taking the rock highway now!

The List for Wednesday, July 9th 2025

Welcome to The List,

Lauren posted a video washing her daughter’s bottles, and some random mom on the internet popped in like, “You should be breastfeeding!” Ma’am—Lauren is breastfeeding and using bottles. Ever heard of both?. . “Just because I posted a video of myself washing my daughter's bottles does not give you the right to shame me and harass me and tell me that I should be breastfeeding my child. Mind your business, Nancy. You don't know me and I don't know you and let's keep it that way."

-----

Apparently, Travis Kelce isn’t dropping a knee for Taylor Swift anytime soon. Sources say he’s holding off on proposing until after he retires from football. Because nothing says “romance” like waiting until you’re not covered in turf and Gatorade sweat to buy a ring.

-----

Orlando Bloom is going full rom-com meltdown trying to win back Katy Perry. We’re talking emotional texts, voice notes, handwritten letters—dude’s practically sending carrier pigeons at this point. Sources say he still believes there’s a chance. Sir, this isn’t The Notebook. This is “She’s Just Not That Into You.”

-----

Jelly Roll had fans in full-blown sob mode at a music festival after meeting a young girl holding a sign about her late mom, who wrote his lyrics in her journal. Yeah, go ahead and cry, it’s okay—we all did. Jelly’s got a heart bigger than his tour bus, and this moment hit everyone right in the soul.
