Welcome to The List,
Tom Bergeron is back, But not on the ballroom floor—he’s hosting Dancing with Sharks for Shark Week. Yes, real sharks. Yes, real dancing. No, this is not a fever dream. Expert divers will waltz underwater with actual sharks thanks to a world-class underwater choreographer. So basically… “So You Think You Can Swim.”

Morgan Wallen Dropped a 37-Song Album on Friday. It’s called I’m the Problem, which honestly sounds like a therapy breakthrough. It’s a double album, it’s country, it’s rap, it’s…controversial. Especially the rap cover of a Keith Whitley song—because nothing says “classic country” like autotune and a trap beat. Swifties are still mad. So, mission accomplished?

Sharpen your stakes and crank up the angst—the “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” reboot is happening, and they’ve found a new young slayer to team up with Sarah Michelle Gellar. Yep, Buffy’s back, and apparently she’s mentoring now, which means this girl’s about to get a crash course in slaying and sarcasm. The Hellmouth won’t know what hit it… but probably still ends in a dramatic slow-motion fight scene.

So here’s something straight out of a murder ballad—human remains were found near Taylor Swift’s Rhode Island mansion. Yeah. Real ones. Police say no foul play is suspected, and Swift’s team hasn’t commented. So either it’s a tragic coincidence… or the Cruel Summer just got way darker. Either way, cue the eerie piano music.

Welcome to The List,
Alright, Gen X and Millennials—remember those “Choose Your Own Adventure” books that left you emotionally scarred at 10? Plot twist: the guy who wrote them, Edward Packard, is literally the grandfather of the new Superman, David Corenswet. Yup. Grandpa wrote alternate endings, grandson wears a cape. Choose that adventure. “Superman” hits theaters July 11th

Missed the CMA Fest in Nashville? It’s cool, we all can’t live off bachelorette energy and pulled pork. But you can catch all the performances on “CMA Fest Presented by SoFi” this Thursday, June 26th at 8 on ABC. Over 30 performances, no porta-potties. Also hits Hulu the next day.

Keifer Thompson from Thompson Square is NOT having it with Beyoncé’s Grammy win for Best Country Album. He says folks out here living country got beat by someone who “ain’t even in the genre.” Ouch!!

Apparently, Kelly Clarkson’s life is falling apart faster than a dollar store lawn chair. Sources say her talk show’s hanging on by dental floss, she’s drowning in drama, and New York’s got her stressed. She’ll finish out the season ‘cause she’s a pro—but sounds like she’s eyeing the emergency exit for next year.

And speaking of unexpected turns: Jelly Roll is about to guest host Jimmy Kimmel Live! while Jimmy takes a summer nap. - now reading cue cards in a suit. Somewhere, late-night TV just ordered a double whiskey and said, “Let’s roll.”
