The List for Monday, November 17th 2025

Welcome to The List,

Jelly Roll just shocked America more than a surprise IRS letter. The man shaved his beard for the first time in a decade. Gone. Poof. Turns out underneath all that fluff was an actual jawline. Who knew? Fans and family reacted like he announced he was joining *NSYNC. Jelly joked he might need a face lift.

Well, apparently Sean “Diddy” Combs has decided prison is the perfect place to write his memoir. Because why not? A source says he’s not journaling feelings, he’s “strategizing,” which sounds exactly like something someone in prison would say. He’s ready to settle scores with all the A-listers who used his parties but disappeared when the feds rolled in. Basically, it’s the Hollywood version of “you stopped inviting me to your birthday, now I’m telling everyone your secrets.”

Tom Cruise finally got an Oscar. Yes, after four decades of sprinting, jumping off cliffs, hanging off airplanes, and saving Hollywood more times than popcorn, the man finally has a trophy. And not even for a movie. They handed him a lifetime-achievement award… basically the Academy’s way of saying, “Sorry we ignored you for 40 years, please stop doing your own stunts.” Cruise said making movies is “who I am,” which is rich coming from the guy who hasn’t aged since the Clinton administration.

Sony is making a Labubu movie. Yep. The creepy-cute little goblin-gremlin-doll thing your kid probably screamed for at Christmas is getting its own feature film. Nobody knows if it’ll be live-action or animated but brace yourself either way. Because nothing says “Hollywood is out of ideas” like giving a toy with a jump-scare face a movie deal.
