Welcome to The List,

Luke Combs just picked up 34 new certifications from the RIAA over the weekend. That's not a typo—thirty-four. That officially makes him the second-highest selling country artist of all time. So yeah, Luke’s not just crying at your wedding—he’s crying all the way to the bank.

Brantley Gilbert stopped mid-song when a fan fainted—cleared the crowd, checked on her himself, and then went full WWE on a lazy security guard: “Don’t stand there in a uniform if you ain’t gonna do sh—. Go on somewhere. Bye!” Crowd erupted. Security probably updated their LinkedIn.

-----

Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom are reportedly done. “People” magazine says the couple’s been on the rocks, and it’s basically over. They’ve been together since 2016 and have a daughter, Daisy, who turns 5 in August. Well, love may bloom... but sometimes it just wilts.

-----

Rob Lowe admits his favorite workout song is “the cheesiest thing in the world.” And what is it? "Eye of the Tiger." That’s right—straight outta Rocky 3. He says he won’t max out without it. Meanwhile, if he’s running? No music. Just raw-dogging the wind like a true ‘80s action hero.

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?”
