The List for Friday, May 23rd 2025

Welcome to The List,

Taylor Swift allegedly regrets ever meeting Blake Lively—ouch. Word is, Tay’s done playing nice now that Blake’s dragged her into this Justin Baldoni lawsuit mess. Apparently, she and Travis think Blake and Ryan tried to use her in their drama. Taylor saw the red flags and said, “BYE bestie,” like it was a bad sequel to It Ends With Us. Savage.

Jennifer Lopez allegedly wants a Regular Joe after divorcing Ben Affleck. Like, a blue-collar guy who’s “secure in himself.” Awww. So basically, she’s looking for someone who owns a lunchbox and doesn’t have a Hollywood ego? That’s cute. But real talk… was Ben the diva in this relationship? ‘Cause this sounds like she’s throwing some serious construction-site shade.

Morgan Wallen’s grandma—Mamaw Kay—is the real star now. She says Morgan still won’t cuss in front of her, she calls him Mogi (adorable), and his fave dish is her corn. But best part? She claims Morgan got his crazy from HER side of the family. So if Mogi ever flips a stage or dates another pop star, blame Mamaw Kay and her spicy corn casserole.

—–

Kenny Chesney played The Sphere in Vegas—it’s a residency and yes, it’s a huge deal. He was just chillin’ at a Jimmy Buffett tribute show when a buddy told him, “You should be the first country act at the Sphere.” And Kenny was like, “Heck yeah!” Now he’s bringing all the beachy vibes, heartbreak hits, and probably a truckload of tequila to the most high-tech venue on Earth.

The List for Monday, June 23rd 2025

Welcome to The List,

Alright, Gen X and Millennials—remember those “Choose Your Own Adventure” books that left you emotionally scarred at 10? Plot twist: the guy who wrote them, Edward Packard, is literally the grandfather of the new Superman, David Corenswet. Yup. Grandpa wrote alternate endings, grandson wears a cape. Choose that adventure. “Superman” hits theaters July 11th

-----

Missed the CMA Fest in Nashville? It’s cool, we all can’t live off bachelorette energy and pulled pork. But you can catch all the performances on “CMA Fest Presented by SoFi” this Thursday, June 26th at 8 on ABC. Over 30 performances, no porta-potties. Also hits Hulu the next day.

-----

Keifer Thompson from Thompson Square is NOT having it with Beyoncé’s Grammy win for Best Country Album. He says folks out here living country got beat by someone who “ain’t even in the genre.” Ouch!!

-----

Apparently, Kelly Clarkson’s life is falling apart faster than a dollar store lawn chair. Sources say her talk show’s hanging on by dental floss, she’s drowning in drama, and New York’s got her stressed. She’ll finish out the season ‘cause she’s a pro—but sounds like she’s eyeing the emergency exit for next year.

-----

And speaking of unexpected turns: Jelly Roll is about to guest host Jimmy Kimmel Live! while Jimmy takes a summer nap.  - now reading cue cards in a suit. Somewhere, late-night TV just ordered a double whiskey and said, “Let’s roll.”

The List for Friday, June 20th 2025

Welcome to The List,

Eddie Murphy’s reportedly living like a germaphobic king in his Hollywood mansion — think Howard Hughes but with better stand-up. He’s got extreme OCD, hates surprises, and won’t leave the house unless Lysol leads the way. Apparently, all that wild comedy? Scripted to the sneeze.

-----

Jessica Simpson and Kim Kardashian are living their best single-girl lives — hanging out, looking hot, and giving each other boy advice like it’s 2006 again. Kim loves Jess for being “real,” and Jessica thinks Kim’s confidence is inspiring. Basically, it’s Hot Girl Summer: BFF Edition.

-----

Post Malone’s busy: He’s on tour with Jelly Roll, opening a bar in Nashville, and plotting his next country album — and apparently, he’s gone full yeehaw. His guitarist says this one’s all pedal steel and fiddle. Post says he’s doing it with respect. We love a genre-jumping gentleman.

-----

Luke Bryan straight-up admitted he’s brainwashed his kids into liking all his hobbies just so they’ll hang out with him. Fishing trips, hunting, dad stuff — the man’s got a plan. Honestly? Respect. Manipulative bonding is still bonding.
