The List for Monday May 12th 2025

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….

The List for Wednesday, March 25th 2026

Welcome to The List,

Ella Langley is getting ready to drop album number two. She says Dandelion will hit fans deeper than anything she’s done before. You can vibe casually… or go full lyric detective mode. She even compared the songwriting layers to Fleetwood Mac. Mark April tenth. Sad girl spring incoming.

-----

Reacher star Alan Ritchson just lived his own action scene. Police say he will not face charges after a street fight. Bodycam shows a neighbor approaching while he sat on his motorcycle. Things escalated and Alan reportedly defended himself pretty aggressively. Moral of the story. Do not poke action heroes.

-----

American Idol judges have some… very specific pre-show rituals. Lionel Richie takes a spoonful of olive oil. Yes really. Luke Bryan snacks on ranch and carrots like a chaotic toddler. Carrie Underwood crochets backstage to stay calm and focused. Somewhere Simon Cowell just rolled his eyes.

-----

The Yellowstone universe keeps getting bigger than a Montana sky. A new spin-off called Dutton Ranch is officially on the way. There’s talk fans might finally see Beth and Kayce reunite. Execs say scheduling two productions is the biggest challenge. Premiere date May fifteenth. Cancel your plans now.
