Welcome to The List,
George Strait just picked up a 2025 Kennedy Center Honor at the White House, and the moment he took his cowboy hat off, President Trump blurted out, “Oh, he’s got good hair.” George laughed and said, “I still got a little bit.” Forget the medal the real honor was getting publicly validated for still having follicles at 72. The King of Country, ladies and gentlemen… still holding strong up top.

More whispers that Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani’s marriage is struggling and this time insiders say it’s because they’re “living separate lives.” Without The Voice keeping them professionally glued together, the differences are now glaring. Blake’s happiest in the woods with a tractor. Gwen is happiest in L.A. with a contour palette. Now people fear they may be headed toward another Hollywood divorce statistic… even though neither wants that ending. Yeesh.

Jennifer Lopez is reportedly supporting Keith Urban through his divorce from Nicole Kidman. They’ve stayed friends since their American Idol days, and sources say J.Lo reached out immediately when she heard about the split. Apparently she’s one of the few people not shunning Keith in favor of Nicole. Keith’s grateful for the support, and J.Lo thinks the attacks on him are unfair. Somewhere, Ben Affleck is probably squinting into the distance like, “Really?”

Netflix just bought Warner Bros for $82.7 BILLION billion with a B, like “Bigger than my student loans AND yours combined.” Netflix now owns the entire DC Universe, Game of Thrones, Harry Potter, The Matrix… all of it. Batman, Superman, and Jon Snow are basically Netflix interns now. This is Netflix saying, “Forget the streaming wars. We bought the whole BUFFET.” So get ready because the next time that “Are you still watching?” screen pops up, it might come with dragons. And honestly? For eighty-two billion dollars, I better get a discount if my TV explodes.
