Welcome to The List,

Geo TV says Sean 'Diddy' Combs is allegedly considering pursuing a law degree. An insider reveals he believes his legal strategy helped dismantle the case against him.  An insider told the outlet, "He thinks he's got a legal mind. He's convinced that his strategy is what helped dismantle the case. He wants the degree, the title – and the power that comes with it. Diddy doesn't just want to beat the system. He wants to own it.’’ THIS is what we call “Delusions of grandeur”…

Taylor Swift could soon reign supreme in Las Vegas with a record-breaking residency offer. A source reveals, “This isn’t just a residency. This would make her bigger than Elvis in Vegas. She’d own the city. She could sell out months in advance and that’s before international fans book a single flight. This is the crown jewel. If she says yes, she instantly becomes the biggest act the Strip has ever seen.”

Brittany Aldean had one of those “parent weekends from hell”  waiting hours at Urgent Care with her six-year-old daughter Navy, only to be told, “Yep, it’s just a virus, let it run its course.” Navy spiked a scary fever, but she’s already bouncing back even made it to a pool day with her brother Memphis. Brittany posted the whole saga with a sarcastic thumbs up and a wine glass, because let’s be honest… every parent’s been there. Oh, and the Aldean kids? Back to school Memphis in second grade, Navy starting first!

You don’t usually expect a Brad Paisley show to come with a lightning special effect but that’s what fans got in Florida when Mother Nature struck the stage not once, but twice! Mid-song, Paisley’s mic fried, the giant LED screen went full “Poltergeist,” and the crowd jumped out of their boots. Even Floridians  who eat thunderstorms for breakfast flinched at that second strike. Brad’s “Truck Still Works” tour? Yeah, but the sound system sure didn’t for a few minutes.

 “CAT FIGHT!! Meghan Markle thought she was about to own the internet with her Netflix trailer ‘With Love, Meghan’. And she might’ve… until Taylor Swift came in like a rhinestoned wrecking ball and dropped her new album news. Sources say Meghan’s convinced this wasn’t just bad timing oh no this was her comeback moment, and Taylor took all the oxygen out of the royal room. Meghan loves being the headline, but this week, she was page two!

“When Blake Shelton was 17, he asked music legend Mae Axton for career advice. She said, ‘Move to Nashville, get a job.’ So, he got a job… painting her house. Which is how he met her son, Hoyt Axton. And Hoyt just casually shows him a little song he wrote called ‘Ol’ Red’. That’s like going to mow somebody’s lawn and they hand you the recipe for Chick-fil-A chicken! Total life-changer.”

-----

“Sure, Willie Nelson is famous for puff-puff-passing, but did you know he’s also a fifth-degree black belt in GongKwon Yusul and a second-degree in Taekwondo? Luke Combs once saw it firsthand; he's at Willie’s compound in Maui, they’re playing poker, and Willie walks out, full Karate Kid mode, crane-kicking a punching bag at 84 years old… then just sits back down like nothing happened.

“A 1978 Luke Skywalker action figure with a double-telescoping lightsaber, yeah, it’s as cool as it sounds is up for auction. Experts say it could sell for between $100,000 and $200,000 because it’s one of the rarest ‘Star Wars’ toys ever made. Current bid? Twenty-four grand. Somewhere out there, a grown man in Jedi robes is checking his couch cushions for loose change.”

Welcome to The List,

"Hallmark is teaming up with the Grand Ole Opry for A Grand Ole Opry Christmas and yes, that’s a real title, not the name of your grandma’s holiday fruitcake. It’s dropping during Hallmark Channel’s 16th annual Countdown to Christmas, which means you can expect twinkly lights, cozy sweaters, and a predictable plot where love magically appears between snowfalls. And you’re gonna eat it up with a peppermint spoon."

-----

"Zach Top pulled off a gender reveal on stage the other night...well, kinda. A couple in the crowd handed him the results in a folded-up paper… but Zach opened it backwards and flashed the answer to the entire audience before the parents even saw it. So much for the big surprise now even the merch guy knows before Grandma."

-----

"Jerry Bruckheimer says he thinks he can lure Johnny Depp back as Captain Jack Sparrow for Pirates of the Caribbean 6. And I don’t know what he’s offering, but I hope it involves rum, eyeliner, and an unlimited Sephora gift card. Because if Jack’s coming back, you know things are about to get weird, wobbly, and wildly quotable."

-----

"Diddy’s so-called ‘freak-off’ tapes might be hitting the market and industry insiders say it could be big money. Think Kim K, Paris Hilton… just add more lawsuits and fewer beach vacations. This isn’t just scandal it’s capitalism with better lighting."

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.
