Welcome to The List,

Jelly Roll tried to shop at Louis Vuitton in Sydney and said they treated him like he was about to rob the place. He posted that he’s never been looked at more “like a criminal.” Dude sold out arenas, but sure… he’s there to grab a purse and sprint. Luxury stores love to act shocked when regular humans show up.

At a Miss Universe event, the Thai director called Miss Mexico a “dummy,” which instantly made half the room stand up and leave. Pageant night is November 21st, so buckle up. If this is the pre-game, imagine what the swimsuit round is gonna look like.

Luke Combs and his wife Nicole are expecting baby number three, and they’re keeping the gender a surprise. Nicole says they don’t care what they have as long as the baby’s healthy, which is adorable. Also, bold choice. I don’t even like waiting for my DoorDash. Meanwhile, Luke’s just praying the kid sleeps better than he does.

Oprah’s annual Favorite Things list is out, and surprise… it includes a $2,000 espresso machine and reading glasses for the shower. Totally normal stuff us peasants can afford. Oprah, we just wanted a throw blanket, not a mortgage.

Welcome to The List,

So, here’s a new one. Miranda Lambert says her concerts have turned into a full-blown Real Housewives reunion, except with fists. She says girls are literally fighting in the crowd, so she moved the brawl-starter songs to the end of the show. That way security can sweep up the press-on nails after the encore. If you thought a concert pit was for dancing… nope, it’s a cage match with better lighting.

Tim McGraw got honest on stage and said Faith Hill has had five neck surgeries and hand surgeries. And Tim’s been slammed by back surgeries and double knee replacements. At this point, they’ve got more replacement parts than a NASCAR pit. He almost quit music, but they’ve pushed through it together. Big respect to these two, proving country strong is a real thing.

Kim Kardashian admitted she failed her law exam because she used ChatGPT for answers. She takes pics of questions, dumps them in, then gets mad when the robot is wrong. She even yells at it like it’s one of her exes. Listen, if your legal game plan is “ask the internet,” law school might not be your ministry. But hey, at least she tried. Badly.

Jelly Roll is officially on a health heater. The guy used to be nearly 500 pounds and said walking down his driveway felt like climbing Everest. That was his wake-up call. Fast-forward and he’s down more than 200 pounds, even showed up at WWE SummerSlam under 300 pounds for the first time since middle school. He looks so good they’re calling him Veggie Roll now. And his next goal is to be shirtless on the cover of Men’s Health by 2027. Somebody get this man a salad and a spray tan.

Welcome to The List,

So apparently someone doesn’t like being looked at while dating a superstar NFL tight end. Taylor Swift reportedly dropped TWO million bucks on extra security so she can blend in at Travis Kelce’s games. Girl, you are literally Taylor Swift. Center of attention is kind of the job. Between the two of them, they’re spending eight million a year on security. She’s basically a small nation at this point.

Lainey Wilson proved she’s queen of the yee-haw prank. At the end of her tour, she called her openers Muscadine Bloodline on stage for their normal sweet acoustic moment. But surprise. Their stools were swapped out with two classy… toilet seats. Nothing says “good show, boys” like resting your cheeks where strangers have gone before. Country comedy gold.

Rumor mill alert. The Globe claims Keith Urban is not taking the Nicole Kidman split well. Sources say he’s exhausted, lonely, and struggling without her. They’re acting like he’s five minutes from writing breakup ballads in sweatpants, clutching a pint of ice cream. Apparently folks worry he’s emotionally fragile. Hopefully he finds peace, love, or at least a good therapist.

Jonathan Bailey has officially been crowned People Magazine’s Sexiest Man Alive. If you don’t know the name, you definitely know the face. He’s Lord Anthony in Bridgerton, he’s in the Wicked movies, and popped up in Jurassic World. The internet is already swooning. Somewhere, Chris Evans is polishing his trophy like… “remember me?”
