Welcome to The List,
Zach Top just confessed in Billboard that he used to dream of being a cowboy… until he realized he was terrible at being one. Like, no rope skills, no yee, no haw. So instead, he grabbed a guitar and decided to sing about cowboys instead. Honestly, that’s the country version of “fake it till you make it.”

Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez are getting married in Venice, Italy—and when billionaires throw a wedding, they don’t just rent a ballroom… they buy the whole ZIP code. A source says the wedding’s gonna cost 800 MILLION dollars. That’s not a wedding, that’s the Marvel Cinematic Universe of matrimony. Oprah and DiCaprio are on the guest list. Bezos is walking down the aisle, and the economy is walking off a cliff.

Ben Affleck says his kids have to get jobs. Why? Because one of ‘em asked for a pair of $6,000 sneakers. And Ben was like, “Nah, bro. You want kicks that cost more than my back tattoo? Get a W-2.” Honestly, imagine telling your 10-year-old, “Here’s your lunchbox and your LinkedIn password.”

Country singer Riley Green says he’s been auditioning lately and might try his hand at acting. Which makes sense. He already has that whole “guy who walks into a bar in a Hallmark movie and changes your life” look. If he pulls this off, he’ll be the first country star to go from singing about heartbreak to pretending to be heartbroken… professionally!

Welcome to The List,
Well, this is unexpected. Steve Perry and Willie Nelson just teamed up to re-record Journey’s “Faithfully.” That’s right—two legends, one power ballad, and a whole lotta “What decade is it?” It’s all to celebrate 40 years of Farm Aid. So cry, sing, and hug a tractor. It’s what they would’ve wanted.

Hold my popcorn. Word is Blake Lively threatened to leak Taylor Swift’s private texts unless Tay backed her in a feud with Justin Baldoni. A source says Taylor is panicking, spiraling, and basically curled up in a pile of cardigans. Blake’s legal team? They say this is all a lie and quote, “untethered from reality.” Which ironically sounds like Taylor’s next album title.

Jelly Roll thought his criminal past might keep him from performing in the UK on Post Malone’s Big Butt—I mean Big [Beep] World Tour. But plot twist—he got the green light! That’s right, Jelly’s headed to England for the first time ever. Tottenham Stadium, get ready... America’s favorite reformed bad boy is bringin' the southern fried chaos overseas.

Prince Harry’s apparently put on a few... and Meghan Markle’s not having it. A source says she wants him off the chips and on the celery—less beer belly, more yoga mat. She hikes, she juices, she probably hasn’t had a carb since Suits. Meanwhile, Harry’s somewhere with a bag of crisps like, “What’s wrong with a little salt?” Oh, marriage.
