Welcome to The List,
Well, this is unexpected. Steve Perry and Willie Nelson just teamed up to re-record Journey’s “Faithfully.” That’s right—two legends, one power ballad, and a whole lotta “What decade is it?” It’s all to celebrate 40 years of Farm Aid. So cry, sing, and hug a tractor. It’s what they would’ve wanted.

Hold my popcorn. Word is Blake Lively threatened to leak Taylor Swift’s private texts unless Tay backed her in a feud with Justin Baldoni. A source says Taylor is panicking, spiraling, and basically curled up in a pile of cardigans. Blake’s legal team? They say this is all a lie and quote, “untethered from reality.” Which ironically sounds like Taylor’s next album title.

Jelly Roll thought his criminal past might keep him from performing in the UK on Post Malone’s Big Butt—I mean Big [Beep] World Tour. But plot twist—he got the green light! That’s right, Jelly’s headed to England for the first time ever. Tottenham Stadium, get ready… America’s favorite reformed bad boy is bringin’ the southern fried chaos overseas.

Prince Harry’s apparently put on a few… and Meghan Markle’s not having it. A source says she wants him off the chips and on the celery—less beer belly, more yoga mat. She hikes, she juices, she probably hasn’t had a carb since Suits. Meanwhile, Harry’s somewhere with a bag of crisps like, “What’s wrong with a little salt?” Oh, marriage.

Welcome to The List,
Lainey Wilson just launched a new line of boots—because apparently country music and bedazzled footwear weren’t enough. It’s called Golden West, and she threw a bougie little launch party in Nashville with Ella Langley and Shaboozey, because obviously. Four new boot designs, So if you’ve ever wanted to stomp heartbreak with rhinestones on your feet—Lainey’s got you covered.

Forget blocking your ex—Dakota Johnson went full National Geographic on a guy who broke her friend’s heart. She admitted she mailed him a gallon of GORILLA poop. From a site literally called PoopSenders.com. You can pick cow, elephant, gorilla, or a poop party mix—because revenge is a buffet now. And it’s only $29.95! That’s cheaper than therapy! Oh, and she knows where to get pubic crabs too, but “she’s not a monster.” Just... creative.
-----
Tom Cruise wants $35 to $40 million up front to strap back into a fighter jet for Top Gun 3. Because apparently, gravity doesn’t apply to egos. The studio’s still “working on the script,” which means “praying Tom approves.” He gave them a discount last time—how generous—but now he wants the GDP of a small country just to show up. And spoiler: no Tom, no Top Gun. That franchise is basically his Scientology side hustle at this point.

Bailey Zimmerman is officially launching the SPF-free revolution, folks. He told People that men—especially redheads—deserve the right to spray tan without judgment. “Legalize tans for men!” he says. Like he’s fighting the patriarchy one orange glow at a time. Honestly, I didn’t realize we were spray-tan shaming dudes now—but Bailey’s out here doing the Lord’s work… with a can of bronze mist.
