Welcome to The List,
Apparently, Spider-Man’s newest villain isn’t Green Goblin… it’s geography. The upcoming movie “Brand New Day” will NOT include the Statue of Liberty, and fans think Sony is trying to keep China happy after “No Way Home” got benched over Lady Liberty. Sony’s CEO says it’s just a “coincidence,” which is corporate speak for, “Please keep buying tickets.” How can you have a superhero movie and NOT have cultural landmarks.

CMA Fest is coming back to Nashville June 4th through the 7th, and Nissan Stadium is about to turn into the Avengers of country music. We’re talking Ella Langley, Cody Johnson, Riley Green, Tim McGraw, Luke Bryan, Blake Shelton, and basically half your playlist. If you can’t go, ABC and Hulu will air it later… so you can enjoy it from your couch while wearing pajama pants and pretending you’re backstage.

Luke Combs says he worried his weight and appearance might keep him from making it in country music. Which is wild, because now he sells out stadiums full of people who also enjoy tacos. Turns out talent still beats six-pack abs… and Luke Combs just became the patron saint of “I’m not dieting, I’m following my dreams.”

Jean-Claude Van Damme just challenged Jake Paul to a fight, and even promised to donate part of the money to charity. He also posted an AI photo of himself kicking Jake, which is either a threat… or the coolest retirement hobby ever. Jake hasn’t responded yet, but somewhere there’s a slow-motion montage warming up.
