Welcome to The List,

The Schwartz is BACK, baby! Rick Moranis, Bill Pullman, and Mel Brooks are returning for Spaceballs 2—possibly titled The Schwartz Awakens—coming in 2027. Yes, it’s real. Yes, I’m already practicing my Barf impressions. And yes, we’re all pretending Spaceballs: The Animated Series never happened.

The Grammys are splitting the Country category in two: Best Traditional Country Album and Best Contemporary Country Album. Translation? There’s now a lane for banjos and bass drops. Some folks say it’s a response to Beyoncé’s win last year. Either way, prepare for a rhinestone-covered genre turf war.

-----

Shaboozey told GQ his perfect date is all about good food, long convos, and that “let’s grab a drink” moment that just flows. No ziplining, no goat yoga—just vibes, calories, and chemistry. Honestly? Same. Feed me and talk to me? Sir, you may have my heart.

-----

Is Taylor Swift pregnant? Fans think so after spotting a few flowy outfits—and now the rumor mill is churning harder than a Swiftie group chat during a re-record drop. Sources say she’s “glowing,” and it’s more than the Travis effect. Meanwhile, Taylor’s probably at home in sweats, laughing at all of us.

Welcome to The List,

Roseanne Barr says they asked her to come back to The Conners... as a ghost. She told Female First, “You killed me off, stole my show, and NOW you want me back ‘cause your ratings are in the toilet?” Her official response? “I’ll be busy… bowling.” Translation: hard pass, Casper.

-----

Jason Aldean’s wife Brittany just lived out every Southern girl’s nightmare. She posted a video of a snake just chillin’ at their front door like it was there to sell cookies. You hear her go, “This is what nightmares are made of!” No ma’am. That’s what FLAMETHROWERS are made for.

-----

If you're a Stranger Things junkie and haven’t emotionally recovered from Season 4 yet, good news! A new animated spinoff called Tales from '85 is coming next year. It fills in the winter gap between Seasons 2 and 3. Same Hawkins weirdness—just now with cartoons and probably fewer nosebleeds.

-----

Wanna drink where the country stars pretend to be regular people? The top-rated bars are in! We got Old Dominion’s Odie’s, Luke Combs’ Category 10—which sounds like a hurricane and a hangover—and of course Blake Shelton’s Ole Red. Honky tonk? More like honky bougie.

Welcome to The List,

Wynonna Judd kicks off her greatest hits tour this Friday in Georgia—because apparently, she’s on a mission to remind us what real country music used to sound like. Her words, not mine. She said, “I don't think we celebrate it enough.” Translation: “Y’all forgot about me, and I’m here to fix that.”

-----

Riley Green is staying fit on tour by channeling Kenny Chesney… and maybe a little Rocky Balboa. He told Men’s Health he uses a portable gym and runs stairs wearing a weighted vest—because nothing says “country strong” like sweating in a parking lot next to your tour bus.

-----

Jennifer Aniston is trying to reboot 9 to 5, but here’s the plot twist—she can’t find any co-stars. She wants Zendaya and Sydney Sweeney, but they're booked solid till like 2087. Word is, younger actresses just aren’t feelin' the vibe of a movie about... ya know, fax machines and pantyhose.

-----

Alec Baldwin’s wife Hilaria is doing yoga in heels. Yes, sparkly red pumps. Because when you're a mom of seven and married to Alec, your balance game better be elite. Some folks found it weird, others called it “fashionably functional.” I call it... “why is this a headline?”

Welcome to The List,

Oh look—Riley Green and Megan Moroney are still playing the “we’re just friends” game. Yeah, because just friends take tropical vacations together and hang out in small-town Alabama like it’s a Hallmark movie. Blink twice if y’all are dating... or filming the world’s slowest rom-com.

-----

Zach Top just dropped news of his second album, called “Ain’t in It for My Health,” out August 29th—because clearly, he’s in it for the beers and the bangers. And speaking of, he just released a summer jam called “Good Times and Tan Lines.” Yes please.

-----

Welp, Justin Baldoni’s $400 million lawsuit against Blake Lively just got booted out of court—faster than a toddler at a Metallica concert. No word on what’s next, but I’m guessing fewer lawyers and more PR people.

-----

A true music legend—Sly Stone—has passed away at 82 after a battle with COPD. The funk-rock pioneer changed the game forever. Rest easy, Sly… and thank you for the groove that made a million hips lie.
