Welcome to The List,

Nicole Kidman’s stepping straight into her villain era! Sources say she’s plotting a little “revenge dating” after her split from Keith Urban and her friends are lining up young, hot distractions while she pretends she’s “not ready for anything serious.” Sure, Nicole, we’ve all said that before sending a 2 a.m. “u up?” text. She’s keeping it classy… for now. But if you really want revenge, don’t settle for a model  go back and date Tom Cruise. That’ll break the internet and possibly the Richter scale.

Taylor Swift is in full “wedding world domination” mode already planning the vows, menu, and probably the next double-platinum album: Till Death Do Us Chart. Word is she’s inviting 300 A-list guests to a top-secret location that’ll drop last-minute. Because nothing says “true love” like a classified wedding itinerary. But hey, when your ex-list is longer than a CVS receipt, you’ve earned one perfect wedding. Get ready, Swifties the royal wedding of pop is officially loading.

Russell Dickerson is living his best life his single “Happen to Me” just hit number one, and fans are calling it RussellMania! The tour’s wild, the crowds are losing their minds, and the man’s bouncing around like he main-lined Red Bull and sunshine. Honestly, if confidence were cardio, he’d be ripped. Russell’s proven you don’t need pyro or dancers just a killer hook, tight jeans, and enough charm to make the crowd scream your name.

-----

It’s official Reid Perry’s leaving The Band Perry to become an artist manager. The family group chat just got real quiet. That leaves Kimberly Perry flying solo and honestly, she’s giving Beyoncé “I’m better alone” energy. So now The Band Perry is just… The Band Adjacent. Family drama aside, the music lives on and you know the breakup ballad is already halfway written.

Welcome to The List,

Looks like the Dancing With the Stars crew got their wish! Insiders say everyone was “quietly relieved” when Hilaria Baldwin got voted off. Apparently, she took every rehearsal like it was the Olympics demanding perfection, filming everything, and driving poor Gleb her dancing partner nuts. She worked hard, but let’s be honest, the show’s a lot more fun now that the drama’s left the ballroom.

Someone in Hoboken, New Jersey turned Taylor Swift’s dating history into a Halloween yard display called the “Graveyard of Heartbreak.” It’s got tombstones for Harry, Joe, John, Jake, Matty, and Joe again but not every ex made the cut. I guess tombstones aren’t cheap when you’ve dated half of Hollywood. Oh, and yes there’s a skeleton Travis Kelce proposing to a skeleton Taylor. Too real.

Eric Church just proved the “Clark Kent” effect is real. Before his show Friday night, he walked around the arena with no sunglasses and only one person recognized him! All it took was ditching the shades, and suddenly, The Chief became just some tall guy in a ball cap. Who knew the man’s biggest disguise was… eyeballs?

Welcome to The List,

Taylor Swift is reportedly deep in wedding-planning mode with Travis Kelce and she’s already stressing over who makes the bridesmaid cut. Sources say she’s got names written out like it’s a tour setlist. Expect some drama, a few tears, and maybe an NDA or two. She wants a short guest list, tight security, and zero spectacle which, for Taylor, is a big ask.

-----

Orlando Bloom is trying to hoist the Jolly Roger again he’s pushing Disney to reunite the original Pirates of the Caribbean cast. He says the magic only works when everyone’s back together... and, let’s be honest, he could use the paycheck.

-----

Keith Urban’s rumored girlfriend, guitarist Maggie Baugh, is catching heat in Nashville. Word is she’s letting Keith’s divorce rumors fuel her own career buzz. In Music City, that kind of drama can burn you or make you go platinum.

And Lainey Wilson says when she ties the knot, she might skip the bell bottoms at the altar… but don’t worry they’ll make a comeback at the after-party.
