Welcome to The List,
Well, it’s official—Hailee Steinfeld and Josh Allen tied the knot in California over the weekend, looking like a Pinterest board come to life. She rocked a strapless gown, gloves, and a veil longer than your aunt’s group text. They got engaged last November, and guess who showed up? Larry freakin’ David. Yep, Mr. Curb Your Enthusiasm himself, despite being a hardcore Jets fan. I’m sure that stirred up some awkward small talk by the shrimp cocktail.

Mark Hamill has officially hung up the lightsaber and said, “I’m out.” He told Screen Rant that Star Wars should focus on new characters—translation: “I’ve done my time, now leave me alone.” He even joked about not wanting to be a naked Force ghost since he left his robes behind in The Last Jedi. Honestly, Mark, that’s probably best for all of us. May the pants be with you.

Over in Philly, Jelly Roll and Post Malone had a full-blown magical moment. While Jelly was belting out “Hard Fought Hallelujah” at Citizens Bank Park, a DOUBLE RAINBOW appeared—like, straight-up Disney movie vibes. Jelly even pointed and said, “You can’t tell me God ain’t here!” And honestly? With that kind of timing, either God’s a fan… or He’s on tour too.

Well, country meets abs in the new rom-com The Token Groomsman. Kane Brown is hopping on the rom-com train with Taylor Lautner—yep, Twilight wolf boy himself. Kane’s playing the best friend, while Taylor’s character jets off to a fancy Italian wedding, not for love, but to make business connections. Because nothing says romance like networking over a charcuterie board in Tuscany. Can’t wait to see who gets drunk and ruins the vows.

When I heard that Alex Miller was opening for Rodney Atkins at the Marion County Fair. I knew I had to try and arrange a visit with him in the KIX studio. Thanks to his promoter JR Hughes and Alex's management for making it happen!!
Here is part 2 of Alex's visit!!

Welcome to The List,
Shaboozey tells People magazine that his Nigerian parents shaped his hustle. His dad worked menial jobs in the U.S. after hardships in Africa, and his mom—who wasn't a fan of his music dream—now joins him onstage. From skeptical to stage mom? That’s a full-circle flex.

Rachel Brosnahan found out she was playing Lois Lane… in a public bathroom. She got a call from “Maybe James Gunn”—and prayed a toilet didn’t flush during the big moment. Honestly? That’s the most relatable superhero origin story I’ve ever heard.
-----
Allegedly, Kim Kardashian felt overshadowed by Sydney Sweeney at Jeff Bezos’ wedding—like invisible-level ignored. She had her eyes on Tom Brady, but he only had eyes for Sydney. Now Kim’s spiraling, thinking four kids and a 40-something birthday might be killing her ‘It Girl’ vibe. Spoiler: it’s not the kids, Kim.
-----
Dolly Parton is out here defying the laws of music and gravity—she just dropped a duet with Motley Crue. Yeah, THAT Motley Crue. They re-did “Home Sweet Home” for its 40th anniversary, and boom—it’s now #1 on the Classic Rock chart. Dolly said country roads? Nah, we’re taking the rock highway now!
