Welcome to The List,

NBC was covering the Army's big 250th bash, when surprise performer Warren Zeiders hit the stage—and the hosts? Clueless. One said, “I don’t know who this is,” and the other added, “Time for the Google.” Yikes. Country fans everywhere collectively screamed “IT’S WARREN, NOT WALLEN!” He was singing “Ride the Lightning” while the hosts were riding the struggle bus.

Kane Brown just pulled a very Kane Brown move. Dude grabbed a Walmart loudspeaker and straight-up said, “This is Kane Brown—I’m playing y’all my new song!” Mid-intercom concert, an employee rushes over like, “Sir, you can’t Kane here.” But instead of explaining, Kane just BOLTS—full-on supermarket sprint. The whole thing feels staged, but watching him escape like he stole a rotisserie chicken? Comedy gold. Click HERE to see the video.

Brad Pitt says he’s totally open to working with Tom Cruise again—as long as it doesn’t involve dangling off airplanes. He basically said, “If Tom wants to fly, he can fly solo.” Brad’s all about the acting, not the aerial acrobatics. Honestly, same. I don’t even want to hang off a rollercoaster, let alone a plane.

Arnold Schwarzenegger says gym life has changed since his son Patrick starred in White Lotus. He walks in, expecting attention, but now women are like, “Hey big guy, can you give this to your son?” Arnold’s fine with it, though—he says if Patrick outshines him, he’ll die happy. Translation: “I’ll be back…but as the dad of the hot guy.”
