Welcome to The List,
The 2025 MTV Video Music Awards are coming this September and guess who’s leading the pack? Lady Gaga with 12 nominations! Bruno Mars slides in with 11, and Kendrick Lamar’s got 10. And Beyoncé? She’s only up for Entertainer of the Year… and not a single other category. Bold move, MTV. Watch the chaos unfold September 7th on CBS and MTV.

Hold up country music has officially been shaken… Carrie Underwood is no longer blonde. I repeat Carrie is now a brunette. She posted a pic saying, “Last time I saw my natural color, I was 12.” Now she’s giving it another shot, and social media is absolutely here for it. Carrie, welcome to the dark side.

Demi Moore is on a mission and no, it’s not another rom-com. She’s allegedly lobbying for Bruce Willis to get an honorary Oscar. Because let’s be real Die Hard is cinema history AND a Christmas movie. She wants him recognized while he can still accept it himself. The Academy’s dragging their feet, but Demi? She’s not letting Bruce’s legacy go quietly.

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.”
