The List for Monday, June 9th 2025

Welcome to The List,

The country music petty parade rolls on! Back in 2006, Rascal Flatts booted a young, late-running Eric Church off their tour—scandal!—and guess who replaced him? Taylor Swift! Fast forward to 2023, they’re STILL feuding. Rascal Flatts just threw more shade at Eric… from his own bar. That’s like showing up to someone’s house and insulting their couch. Gary said Eric “couldn’t afford a watch”—then broke into Frozen. Can someone please ring Dana White? I smell a “Celebrity Cage Match.”

Lainey Wilson just finished her first feature film and—shocker—she wasn’t even nervous. She says it’s probably her mama’s prayers… or maybe it’s just that country queen confidence. She’s starring in “Reminders of Him,” out Valentine’s Day 2026. So go ahead and pencil in your tear-jerking, boot-stomping movie night. And Hollywood? Better get her a Walk of Fame star made of rhinestones.

Apparently, Carrie Underwood’s ready to ditch American Idol unless they start handing out pay raises and peace offerings. She’s not used to fan backlash and—oops—it hurt her feelings. The show wants her to grow into the role, but Carrie’s like, “Pay me or lose me.” The drama’s messier than a mascara meltdown in the rain. Careful Carrie, America loves you… until you ask for more money.

Cue the theme music and your credit card limit—props from Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade are hitting the auction block! A fedora, whip, and belt? Going for half a mil! You too can own the tools of archaeology and accidental face-melting. The 8-foot whip even has a tag from a key scene—which means for $500K, you’re basically buying sweat-soaked movie history. Good luck explaining that to your accountant.
