Welcome to The List,
Kelsea Ballerini is co-hosting the CMT Awards tonight…she says she isn’t to worried about messing up the hosting…but there IS one things she worries about…“If I mess up reading a prompter, that’s not what I’m great at so that’s ok. So, I feel less pressure with the talking part, it’s the singing part I’m like if I mess THAT up I’m firing myself!” That could be a little upsetting…The 2022 CMT Awards air tonight on CBS.

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.
