Welcome to The List,
Tom Bergeron is back, But not on the ballroom floor—he’s hosting Dancing with Sharks for Shark Week. Yes, real sharks. Yes, real dancing. No, this is not a fever dream. Expert divers will waltz underwater with actual sharks thanks to a world-class underwater choreographer. So basically… “So You Think You Can Swim.”

Morgan Wallen Dropped a 37-Song Album on Friday. It’s called I’m the Problem, which honestly sounds like a therapy breakthrough. It’s a double album, it’s country, it’s rap, it’s…controversial. Especially the rap cover of a Keith Whitley song—because nothing says “classic country” like autotune and a trap beat. Swifties are still mad. So, mission accomplished?

Sharpen your stakes and crank up the angst—the “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” reboot is happening, and they’ve found a new young slayer to team up with Sarah Michelle Gellar. Yep, Buffy’s back, and apparently she’s mentoring now, which means this girl’s about to get a crash course in slaying and sarcasm. The Hellmouth won’t know what hit it… but probably still ends in a dramatic slow-motion fight scene.

So here’s something straight out of a murder ballad—human remains were found near Taylor Swift’s Rhode Island mansion. Yeah. Real ones. Police say no foul play is suspected, and Swift’s team hasn’t commented. So either it’s a tragic coincidence… or the Cruel Summer just got way darker. Either way, cue the eerie piano music.

Welcome to The List,
More tributes are rolling in for Ozzy Osbourne... from Kermit the Frog, Lady Gaga, Coldplay, Wolfgang Van Halen, Major League Baseball, and—because why not—the New England Patriots. Ozzy once said his family could play anything at his funeral... even Justin Bieber or Susan Boyle. Rock on, Prince of Darkness.

Jake Owen says a random guy at Starbucks yelled at him for driving a Cybertruck. Called him a traitor! Like Jake just switched sides in a war or something. He’s just trying to get a latte, bro. Apparently, you can’t even be eco-conscious without catching hands now. Humanity's doin’ great.

Eric Church says his days off are all about the outdoors. Fishing, golf, just soaking in nature. He’s got two kids, and his idea of heaven is taking his son fishing. Meanwhile, the rest of us are inside praying for a nap and Wi-Fi. Must be nice, Eric. Must. Be. Nice.

Travis Kelce says dating Taylor Swift is like Pretty Woman... but he’s Julia Roberts. Yep. The tight end in the thigh-high boots. I can’t unsee it, and now, neither can you. Give that man a loofah and a bubble bath montage!
