Welcome to The List,
Tom Cruise told The Hollywood Reporter he plans to make movies into his 100s. Not kidding. He said, “I’ll never stop. I’ll never stop doing action.” OK, Tom. At this rate, "Mission: Oxygen Tank" drops in 2058, and I can't wait to see him sprinting down the hall of a nursing home yelling, “I do my own stunts!”

Tim McGraw hasn’t performed since last June and apparently his body is throwing a full-on protest. After back surgery and some knees that are mad at him, he's worried he can’t bounce back. Word is, he overdid the workouts to avoid the booze. And now he’s paying for it—classic overachiever move. If he does get back on stage, it’ll be powered by sheer will... and possibly duct tape.
-----
Allegedly—and I say that with a capital A—Taylor Swift has cut ties with Blake Lively after Blake supposedly threatened to leak her private texts. If true, that's some soap opera-level betrayal. A source says there's “no recovering from this.” Yeah, when you mess with Swift, you don’t just lose a friend—you earn yourself a whole bonus track.

Country legend Alan Jackson says he's retiring from touring. At his final stop this weekend, he said, “This is my last road show.” He’ll do one big finale in Nashville—because of course it’s Nashville. If you’ve ever two-stepped to “Chattahoochee,” now’s the time to dust off those boots and ugly-cry in public.

Aurora is spayed, up to date on all vaccines, FeLV/FIV tested, and microchipped to ensure her safety.
Welcome to The List,
Tom Bergeron is back, But not on the ballroom floor—he’s hosting Dancing with Sharks for Shark Week. Yes, real sharks. Yes, real dancing. No, this is not a fever dream. Expert divers will waltz underwater with actual sharks thanks to a world-class underwater choreographer. So basically… “So You Think You Can Swim.”

Morgan Wallen Dropped a 37-Song Album on Friday. It’s called I’m the Problem, which honestly sounds like a therapy breakthrough. It’s a double album, it’s country, it’s rap, it’s…controversial. Especially the rap cover of a Keith Whitley song—because nothing says “classic country” like autotune and a trap beat. Swifties are still mad. So, mission accomplished?
-----
Sharpen your stakes and crank up the angst—the "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" reboot is happening, and they've found a new young slayer to team up with Sarah Michelle Gellar. Yep, Buffy’s back, and apparently she’s mentoring now, which means this girl’s about to get a crash course in slaying and sarcasm. The Hellmouth won’t know what hit it... but probably still ends in a dramatic slow-motion fight scene.

So here’s something straight out of a murder ballad—human remains were found near Taylor Swift’s Rhode Island mansion. Yeah. Real ones. Police say no foul play is suspected, and Swift’s team hasn’t commented. So either it’s a tragic coincidence… or the Cruel Summer just got way darker. Either way, cue the eerie piano music.
