Welcome to The List,
Tom Cruise told The Hollywood Reporter he plans to make movies into his 100s. Not kidding. He said, “I’ll never stop. I’ll never stop doing action.” OK, Tom. At this rate, “Mission: Oxygen Tank” drops in 2058, and I can’t wait to see him sprinting down the hall of a nursing home yelling, “I do my own stunts!”

Tim McGraw hasn’t performed since last June and apparently his body is throwing a full-on protest. After back surgery and some knees that are mad at him, he’s worried he can’t bounce back. Word is, he overdid the workouts to avoid the booze. And now he’s paying for it—classic overachiever move. If he does get back on stage, it’ll be powered by sheer will… and possibly duct tape.

Allegedly—and I say that with a capital A—Taylor Swift has cut ties with Blake Lively after Blake supposedly threatened to leak her private texts. If true, that’s some soap opera-level betrayal. A source says there’s “no recovering from this.” Yeah, when you mess with Swift, you don’t just lose a friend—you earn yourself a whole bonus track.

Country legend Alan Jackson says he’s retiring from touring. At his final stop this weekend, he said, “This is my last road show.” He’ll do one big finale in Nashville—because of course it’s Nashville. If you’ve ever two-stepped to “Chattahoochee,” now’s the time to dust off those boots and ugly-cry in public.

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!
