The List for Friday, May 16th 2025

Welcome to The List,

Well, this is unexpected. Steve Perry and Willie Nelson just teamed up to re-record Journey’s “Faithfully.” That’s right—two legends, one power ballad, and a whole lotta “What decade is it?” It’s all to celebrate 40 years of Farm Aid. So cry, sing, and hug a tractor. It’s what they would’ve wanted.

Hold my popcorn. Word is Blake Lively threatened to leak Taylor Swift’s private texts unless Tay backed her in a feud with Justin Baldoni. A source says Taylor is panicking, spiraling, and basically curled up in a pile of cardigans. Blake’s legal team? They say this is all a lie and quote, “untethered from reality.” Which ironically sounds like Taylor’s next album title.

Jelly Roll thought his criminal past might keep him from performing in the UK on Post Malone’s Big Butt—I mean Big [Beep] World Tour. But plot twist—he got the green light! That’s right, Jelly’s headed to England for the first time ever. Tottenham Stadium, get ready… America’s favorite reformed bad boy is bringin’ the southern fried chaos overseas.

Prince Harry’s apparently put on a few… and Meghan Markle’s not having it. A source says she wants him off the chips and on the celery—less beer belly, more yoga mat. She hikes, she juices, she probably hasn’t had a carb since Suits. Meanwhile, Harry’s somewhere with a bag of crisps like, “What’s wrong with a little salt?” Oh, marriage.

The List for Monday, July 7th 2025

Welcome to The List,

Sad news over the Fourth... Michael Madsen—yeah, the guy who made ear-cutting in Reservoir Dogs look like an art form—died Thursday from cardiac arrest at 67. And we also lost Julian McMahon—Nip/Tuck, Charmed, and Fantastic Four’s original Dr. Doom—gone at just 56 after a battle with cancer.

-----

Miranda Lambert isn’t just all about fringe and fire—it’s heart too. She and her MuttNation Foundation are teaming up with Kerrville Pets Alive to help both people and their fur-babies affected by the devastating Texas flash floods. Big country heart, big country help.

-----

Lainey Wilson says carving out time for her fiancé, Duck Hodges, is a must—even with a tour bus schedule! For their wedding? No country megastars—she wants jazz bands! And who’s gonna cry first? Lainey’s betting on Duck. She says, “He’ll be a mess.” Aww...Quackin' up already.

-----

Tom Cruise’s next movie, Deeper, just hit a big fat pause button—because it’s allegedly burning through a $275 million budget. Yeah... for a deep-sea space drama. Warner Bros. is sweating, Cruise is studio-shopping, and somewhere, Ana de Armas is wondering if she packed her wetsuit and her spacesuit.

The List for Thursday, July 3rd 2025

Welcome to The List,

The Hollywood Walk of Fame just announced its Class of 2026—and it’s STACKED: Miley Cyrus, Shaq, Demi Moore, Timothée Chalamet, Stanley Tucci, and Gabriel Iglesias. That sidewalk's about to be shinier than Shaq’s head and smell like Gabriel’s churros.

-----

Megan Moroney just dropped a sultry little cover of Toby Keith’s “Who’s Your Daddy?” for Apple Music’s Nashville Sessions. A whole playlist of Toby tributes—just in time to soundtrack your fireworks, flag cakes,

-----

Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom allegedly split because watching each other’s careers fizzle out was too painful. He wants a McConaughey-style comeback, and she’s exhausted from “American Idol.” Basically, it’s a Hollywood version of “Who forgot to take the chicken out of the freezer?”

-----

Post Malone just opened a massive honky-tonk in Nashville called “Posty’s.” It's got six bars, three stages, and a rooftop patio—plus bolted-down chairs, just in case Morgan Wallen swings by. If you spill a drink there, odds are it’s on purpose.
