Welcome to The List,
Well brother, Hulk Hogan is back, and this time he’s body-slamming the rulebook. The 72-year-old Hall of Famer is teaming up with Eric Bischoff to launch “Real American Freestyle,” which sounds like something your uncle would call a backyard brawl after two Busch Lights. They’re promising unscripted wrestling, aka chaos with abs. First event’s in August, “Finally, a league where every match ends in a hip replacement.”

Country queen Lainey Wilson is heading to Hollywood, She’s starring in her first feature film called “Reminders of Him,”. It hits theaters next February, which gives you plenty of time to pretend you read the book. Spoiler: expect heartbreak, tears, and probably someone staring out a window during a rainstorm while Lainey sings softly in the background.

So Bill Belichick had a CBS interview… that mysteriously got paused when the reporter asked about his girlfriend, Jordon Hudson. CBS says there were “no preconditions,” but Bill’s camp says otherwise. Meanwhile, Jordon—who, by the way, is nearly 50 years younger—now owns an $8 million real estate portfolio. Love is patient, love is kind… love is also a smart real estate investor, apparently.

I didn’t have Billy Ray Cyrus and Elizabeth Hurley on my 2025 weird couple bingo card—but here we are. Sources say she loved her time in Tennessee, surrounded by nature… and mullets. They believe they were destined to reunite, which is beautiful, in a “Nicholas Sparks meets Cracker Barrel” kind of way. “Nothing says destiny like Liz Hurley in a Bass Pro Shop.”

Welcome to The List,
Dolly Parton’s taking over the Country Music Hall of Fame, and it’s shinier than a disco ball at a rhinestone rodeo. This new exhibit is full of glitter, glam, and six decades of fabulous. Dolly even teared up, saying, “It’s a long way from the Smoky Mountains to the top of the world.”

So apparently, we’re canonizing craft brews now? Chicago’s Burning Bush Brewery just dropped a new beer called “Da Pope,” inspired by Pope Leo XIV—because nothing says holiness like hops. It's an American mild ale with fruity notes. So yeah, if you’ve ever wanted to drink the spirit of Chicago’s papal pride... now’s your chance to get buzzed and blessed.

Morgan Wallen’s new rap-cover of “Miami” is catching heat—and not the good kind. People say it sounds like he teamed up with Alvin and the freakin' Chipmunks. The chorus? High-pitched and autotuned within an inch of its life. Once you hear it, you can’t unhear it. It’s giving... helium karaoke. Bless his autotuned little heart.

Shakira’s hips don’t lie—but apparently someone’s immune system did. Someone with measles showed up at her MetLife Stadium show in New Jersey. No confirmed cases yet, but symptoms could pop up through June 6th. So if you went... congrats, you didn’t just get a concert—you might’ve got a souvenir virus. Thanks for the germs, mystery patient zero!
