Welcome to The List,
Props and puppets from Jim Henson’s Muppet empire are hitting the auction block for the first time ever. We’re talking over 400 items from Fraggle Rock to The Dark Crystal. Oh, and if you’ve got a spare 25 grand lying around, you can snag yourself a full-body Dark Crystal puppet. Online bidding starts October 22nd, so go ahead and max out the credit card in the name of childhood nostalgia.

Country up-and-comer Zach Top told American Songwriter that life on the road is basically like living in a blender constant movement, never waking up in the same town, trying to figure out where he is every morning. He says he’s grateful for it… mostly. But sometimes, he misses the simple life he grew up with. …he loves chasing his dream, but man, a little steady Wi-Fi wouldn’t hurt.

Chris Hemsworth says prepping to play Thor in the new Avengers: Doomsday means eating like a Viking raid. He’s slamming down eight to ten meals a day, clocking 4,000 calories. And no, it’s not pizza and cheeseburgers apparently Marvel wants Thor jacked, not bloated. Meanwhile, I eat two tacos and need a nap.

Chuck Norris just turned 85, and how did he celebrate? By climbing a mountain. Correction: an active volcano. Because of course he did. The guy doesn’t blow out birthday candles, he just stares at them until the fire gives up.

Welcome to The List,
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are allegedly hitting a rough patch not over romance, but over the prenup. An insider claims the financial talks are “cold-hearted,” mostly because their bank accounts look like they’re from two different planets. Travis wants to play another season or two and eventually jump into broadcasting, and apparently Taylor’s not thrilled with that plan. The source says there is supposed to be a wedding this offseason… but right now the negotiations look less like love and more like Shark Tank.

Willie Nelson is fed up with the internet declaring him dead every other week and he finally said something. He posted a photo of himself snoozing on a couch with the caption, “If you believe those A.I. death stories one more time.” For months, fake AI posts claimed he collapsed, was hospitalized, or worse. None of it true. Willie’s still here, still laughing, still alive… and more coherent than some of the people posting about him.

Diddy allegedly thinks someone in his own family sold him out after 50 Cent got access to leaked footage for the Netflix documentary ‘The Reckoning’. The footage shows him distressed on a phone call and Diddy is reportedly determined to figure out who leaked it. He believes only family had access to something that sensitive. And after watching parts of the doc myself? Yeah… “eye-opening” is putting it lightly. This story gets messier by the hour.

Luke Combs told ESPN he wants to headline the Super Bowl halftime show and watch his Carolina Panthers win that same game. Bold. Very bold. He said he grew up in Charlotte when the Panthers became a team, so it’s “in his blood.” Look, we love the confidence but asking for a halftime slot and a Panthers Super Bowl victory is what scientists call “a miracle.”
