The List,

Travis Kelce told GQ that he and Taylor Swift are brace yourself actually in love. He says when there’s no camera, they’re “just two regular people who share the same values.” Aw. He also says he wants to leave his work better than he found it, and he sees Taylor doing the same. So, yeah… they’re basically the Homecoming King and Queen of Planet Earth.

BroBible says Jeff Bezos wants his wife, Lauren Sánchez, in the next James Bond movie… despite her having exactly zero acting experience. But hey, when you’re Jeff Bezos and you’ve got $8 billion lying around, apparently you can buy yourself a Bond girl. Producers are eyeing Jacob Elordi, Tom Holland, and Harris Dickinson for Bond himself… because nothing says “suave British spy” like being hand-picked by Amazon Prime.

Luke Bryan’s finally over COVID and back on stage just in time to get smacked in the face with a hacky sack during “Country Girl” at the North Dakota State Fair. Luke’s “official statement”? People who throw things at artists are idiots. Preach. He says it’s the “deterioration of the moral fabric of how your a** ought to act.” basically …  stop chucking stuff, Karen. Unless you’re throwing tacos… then we can talk.

NASCAR might be killing the classic “stand on the roof” victory pose thanks to 19-year-old Connor Zilisch, who fell off his car in Victory Lane and broke his collarbone. Now teams are whispering about a “no standing” rule aka “The Connor Rule.” Even Denny Hamlin says he’s done climbing up there. Honestly… if you can’t stick the landing, maybe just wave from the driver’s seat. Because nothing says “I won!” like being wheeled off on a stretcher.

Welcome to The List,

Radar Online says Ana de Armas is getting real tired of Tom Cruise’s “Mission: Relationship Impossible.” She’s ready to be acknowledged as his girlfriend, start picking out baby names the whole deal. But Tom’s still in stealth mode, claiming he’s “protecting what they have.” Ana’s not buying it. If he doesn’t make it public soon, she’s ready to eject from the cockpit.

Christie Brinkley thinks marriage should come with a five-year boredom clause like Netflix, but for your spouse. You hit year five, decide if you wanna renew or cancel…no messy lawyers, just “thanks for the memories, babe, best of luck.” Honestly? That might be the most honest wedding vow I’ve ever heard.

Ella Langley is hitting pause on touring after feeling “more run down than ever.” She’s postponing her August shows to focus on her mental, physical, and emotional health but promises she’ll be back on the road in September. Sometimes you just gotta listen to your body… and maybe your tour bus.
