Welcome to The List,

There’s a special screening for the new movie “Bugonia” in L.A., and get this you can only attend if you’re bald or willing to get your head shaved on the spot. In the film, Emma Stone shaves her own head, so the event’s going full method. Some people lose their hair for art others just lose their dignity for free popcorn.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are reportedly planning a “low-key” Rhode Island wedding which, of course, means at the 70-room mansion called The Breakers. They allegedly offered another couple $150 K to move their wedding date, because nothing says “low-key” like buying out someone’s dreams. June 13th, 2026 might be the day because Taylor’s lucky number is 13, and apparently subtlety isn’t.

At his Nashville show, Keith Urban asked a fan her name she said “Nicole.”

The crowd went wild, Keith hit the floor like a telenovela star, and everyone relived the Nicole Kidman breakup in real time. He laughed it off, but deep down, that man’s still emotionally tuned to A minor.

Jelly Roll is turning his Tennessee property into a 100-acre rehab and mental-health campus. He said, “Imagine a place for people like us… poor kids, down bad, needing help.” That’s not a PR move that’s real. The guy’s taking his pain and building something good with it.

Welcome to The List,

Ella Langley just dropped “Choosin’ Texas,” and it sounds like a dusty boot stomp with a side-eye. Co-written with Miranda Lambert, so yes, there is twang, grit, and a little lipstick-on-the-mirror attitude. It’s the kind of song that makes you price out cowboy boots and consider blocking your ex before the second chorus. If this doesn’t have you two-stepping in the kitchen, check your pulse. You might already live in Texas.

The King is loading up the tour bus. George Strait is returning to Clemson’s Memorial Stadium in 2026, first time since 1999. Fans are already preheating the tailgate like it is a brisket. By the time tickets drop, somebody’s cousin will be camping in the parking lot. Country royalty, stadium sing-along, “Amarillo by Morning” at full volume. Clear your calendar and maybe your voice.

Allegedly, Taylor is crafting a prenup to protect the empire. Not unromantic, just grown-up. She built it brick by brick and wants it locked up, and the word is Travis respects it. Love is great, but accountants sleep better with paperwork. She has seen how messy splits get in the spotlight. Practical, not pessimistic. And let’s be honest, there is probably an NDA with glitter on it.

So, the J-Lo think pieces are back. After all the talk about her exes not loving her right, one former husband is firing back, saying she was the problem and tossing around cheating claims. Reminder: that is his side of the tea, not a courtroom verdict. Either way, the relationship autopsy is loud, the internet is louder, and Jenny from the Block stays trending like rent day.

Welcome to The List,

Looks like Keith Urban’s gone full hermit since splitting from Nicole Kidman. He skipped the red carpet for his new show The Road because, apparently, the only thing rougher than that title is his divorce. Sources say he’s “embarrassed” and doesn’t want to steal attention from the show. Translation: he knows the headlines would read “Keith Urban Bad Guy in Boots.” Maybe it’s time for a song called The Road to Reputation Recovery.

Zach Top loves classic country, but his real passion? The Seattle Mariners. He’s so obsessed, he SKIPPED an encore in Louisville just to watch the game. Yep ditched fans to sprint backstage for score updates. His monitor guy was literally whispering play-by-plays in his ear mid-song! Mariners slugger Cal Raleigh even uses Zach’s “Bad Luck” as his walk-up tune. Guess when it comes to baseball and country, Zach’s playing both fields… but only one gets his encore.

Rock lost a legend KISS guitarist and original “Spaceman” Ace Frehley passed away at 74. He was hospitalized after a fall caused a brain bleed, and his family made the heartbreaking decision to take him off life support. Ace helped define that face-paint, fire-breathing era of rock since 1973 and came back for the big reunion in the ‘90s. Tonight, somewhere in the sky, there’s one more star with a killer guitar solo.

-----

Kelly Clarkson might be America’s sweetheart, but even sweethearts crash. Sources say she’s exhausted trying to do it all: TV host, mom, singer, professional overachiever. She’s crying nonstop, worried she’s let fans down, and now she’s trying to make a comeback in music. But apparently, it’s not going the way she hoped. Friends say she’s on the verge of an emotional breakdown. Kelly, honey, take a nap. You’ve earned it. The world can wait a minute.
