Things are heating up between Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt regarding their French winery…She filed new court papers against Brad Pitt’s claim that he built their French winery business. Angelina says he is an actor, not a winemaker, and that he deals in illusions, the Academy Award winner said…not dirt and grapes….

The media is really invested in the box office battle between “Barbie” and “Oppenheimer”, which both open on July 21st. Even though they don’t seem like they’d have any audience crossover at all. But maybe that’s not the case. AMC Theaters says that around 20,000 people who belong to their Stubs rewards program have already bought tickets to see both movies ON THE SAME DAY.

When Lainey Wilson performed on “American Idol” in May it was kind of a homecoming. Strike that. Let’s call it “returning to the scene of the crime”. The crime is how many times “Idol” rejected her in the past. She talked about it in an interview BEFORE the May appearance where we learned she got rejected SEVEN times!! Never got past the first round…and “The Voice” didn’t work out either.

Welcome to The List,
Travis Kelce is out here setting expectations so high the rest of us are gonna get yelled at for bringing home gas station flowers. He’s reportedly spent $141,000 on pre-wedding gifts for Taylor Swift, including Rolex watches, designer jackets, and daily flower deliveries. Daily. Meanwhile, I forgot my anniversary once and tried to fix it with a breakfast burrito. Travis Kelce just ruined relationships for every man in America.

Lainey Wilson is teasing new music, and the title might be the most Lainey Wilson thing ever. The new single is called “Can’t Sit Still,” which tracks, because she’s been everywhere except my back yard party. She says her friends describe her as “a suitcase with legs,” which honestly sounds like Delta Airlines lost her twice already. No official release date yet, but she says it’s coming “real soon,” so prepare your playlists accordingly.

Bunnie XO just revealed she thought Jelly Roll was a jerk when they first met, which proves once again women love a fixer-upper. She said he had “teddy bear with teeth energy” and sad eyes, and she basically looked at him like a home improvement project from HGTV. Fast forward to now, they’re one of Country music’s biggest power couples. Moral of the story, sometimes the guy who ignores you becomes your husband.

The new Mummy reboot is ditching the Tom Cruise action vibe and going straight for emotional damage. This one’s from the director of Evil Dead Rise, so instead of running from explosions, you’ll be running from your own nightmares. It’s about a girl who disappears and comes back after spending quality time inside a 3,000-year-old coffin. It hits theaters April 17th, and I’ll be watching it from the safety of daylight and denial.
