Welcome to The List,
In case you missed it at the ACMs: Jessie Murph showed up with a literal pig on the red carpet—because why not make “farm glam” a thing? Cody Johnson and his wife announced baby number 3, congrats to them and their future sleepless nights! And some folks thought Kelsea Ballerini was lip-syncing… but maybe her voice is just that smooth? Or maybe it was the pig. Who knows.

Morgan Wallen ditched the ACM Awards to toss a football with Tom Brady. Yup, instead of music’s big night, he played catch with the GOAT and posted it on Instagram like a flex. And even though he had a bunch of nominations, he didn’t win any awards. Coincidence? Probably not. But hey, when Brady calls—you go. Trophies are cool, but Brady’s spiral? Legendary.

Taylor Swift got dragged into a legal mess between Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni over the movie It Ends With Us. And Tay’s rep basically said, “Yeah… no.” She wasn’t on set, didn’t cast it, didn’t score it, didn’t even see the movie till weeks after it dropped. All she did was license one song. So why the subpoena? Probably just to slap “Taylor Swift” on court documents for clickbait. Next.

Word is Ben Affleck’s feelin’ a little salty that Tom Cruise is dating his ex, Ana de Armas. Sources say Ben’s a jealous guy, and seeing Ana happy with Ethan Hunt is kinda weird for him. But don’t worry—he’s also “happy” for Tom. I mean, who wouldn’t be thrilled to watch their ex fall for a millionaire action star who still does his own stunts at 60? Totally normal feelings….as long as her CURRENT boyfriend doesn’t mind that is….Yeah, she has one….

Welcome to The List,
Travis Kelce is usually catching balls… not firing them at fans’ necks. But during the American Century Golf Championship, he accidentally drilled a supporter right in the throat! The fan laughed it off, and Travis gave a heartfelt apology. See? This is why he catches passes and doesn’t throw them. That aim? Yikes.

Will Smith might be living in a mansion, but apparently his bank account is moving into a studio apartment. Rumor is he’s drowning in debt trying to keep up with the giant house, the giant bills, and a career that took a hit after that slap. They’re living separately, but still spending like it’s “Fresh Prince” money. Uh-oh.
-----
Jelly Roll is dropping pounds… and apparently dropping bodies now too?! WWE is throwing him into the ring against Logan Paul at Summer Slam! It all started when Jelly was singing on Smackdown, Logan interrupted, trash was talked, and chaos followed. August 2nd–3rd, Jelly brings the thunder! Or the donuts. TBD.

Country king George Strait is putting his boots to work with his “Strait to the Heart” benefit concert for Texas flood victims. It’s happening July 27th in Boerne, Texas—with dinner, music, and George being an all-around gem. If you’ve got a heart and a wallet, this is where you show up, cowboy.
