Welcome to The List,
Zach Top says he doesn’t care about awards—he’s all about the fans. He told Holler Country, "A gold statue’s cool, but hearing my song changed someone’s life? Way better." Respect to the man who’d rather get chills than a shiny shelf trophy.

Jennifer Lopez allegedly found the fountain of youth—and it’s filled with Botox and filler. Sources say she’s sneaking off for "maintenance," but still claims it’s all-natural. Sure, Jen. And I naturally look this good at 2pm after three iced coffees and a bag of Cheetos.

Word is Miranda Lambert’s telling hubby Brendan to get off the couch and get a job. He’s been chillin’ on the farm, being hot, but now Miranda wants less eye candy and more action. Country queen wants a partner, not a porch ornament!
-----
Katy Perry thinks American Idol tanked her career. She says it turned her into a villain and left her overexposed. Honestly, Katy... same. Watching you on Idol was like watching someone realize in real time they made a terrible life choice. Again.

Welcome to The List,
In case you missed it at the ACMs: Jessie Murph showed up with a literal pig on the red carpet—because why not make “farm glam” a thing? Cody Johnson and his wife announced baby number 3, congrats to them and their future sleepless nights! And some folks thought Kelsea Ballerini was lip-syncing... but maybe her voice is just that smooth? Or maybe it was the pig. Who knows.

Morgan Wallen ditched the ACM Awards to toss a football with Tom Brady. Yup, instead of music's big night, he played catch with the GOAT and posted it on Instagram like a flex. And even though he had a bunch of nominations, he didn’t win any awards. Coincidence? Probably not. But hey, when Brady calls—you go. Trophies are cool, but Brady's spiral? Legendary.
-----
Taylor Swift got dragged into a legal mess between Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni over the movie It Ends With Us. And Tay’s rep basically said, “Yeah… no.” She wasn’t on set, didn’t cast it, didn’t score it, didn’t even see the movie till weeks after it dropped. All she did was license one song. So why the subpoena? Probably just to slap “Taylor Swift” on court documents for clickbait. Next.

Word is Ben Affleck’s feelin’ a little salty that Tom Cruise is dating his ex, Ana de Armas. Sources say Ben's a jealous guy, and seeing Ana happy with Ethan Hunt is kinda weird for him. But don’t worry—he’s also “happy” for Tom. I mean, who wouldn’t be thrilled to watch their ex fall for a millionaire action star who still does his own stunts at 60? Totally normal feelings….as long as her CURRENT boyfriend doesn’t mind that is….Yeah, she has one….

Welcome to The List,
Lainey Wilson straight-up mopped the floor at the ACM Awards last night—she snagged Entertainer of the Year, Female Artist, Artist-Songwriter, AND Album of the Year for Whirlwind. Meanwhile, Chris Stapleton took Male Artist of the Year... somehow beating out Morgan Wallen, Luke Combs, and Jelly Roll. I guess he had a better year they did…man! That beard strength counts for something.
-----
Hollywood has spoken—and the most inspirational movie mom is... Elastigirl. That’s right, a stretchy superhero mom beat out Molly Weasley and Forrest Gump’s mama. Honestly? She did fight crime, raise kids, and still kept her ponytail tight. Respect.
-----
Jennifer Aniston is ticked off at the LAPD—after her house location leaked following an intruder scare. Now she’s thinking about selling her $21 million mansion. Because clearly, creepy stalkers needed help finding her place. Great job, guys. Gold star.

LeAnn Rimes and Kimberly Williams-Paisley are heading to TV, joining Chris O’Donnell in ABC’s 9-1-1: Nashville. Which sounds like country music meets emergency sirens.
