Old Dominion star Matthew Ramsey has finally admitted to his addiction…He tells Billboard magazine that his bandmates gotta steer him around stores that sell leather jackets…saying, I will buy one at any opportunity. I love how they look and how they feeI. I don’t know how many I own, but there are quite a few hanging in my closet at home.”

It looks like Marvel’s stepped in it again. The new Disney+ show “Secret Invasion” is generating a lot of controversy . . . for its TITLE SEQUENCE. And it’s all because they chose to use A.I. to create it. It kind of fits with the theme of the show, which is about shapeshifting aliens called Skrulls, and the fact that you never really know who’s actually human and who’s not. They’re upset that Marvel took the job of creating the title sequence away from actual human animators.

Yesterday on The List, we reported Lainey Wilson and the scam someone is trying to use her likeness to sell weight loss gummies…well, Lainey had this to say about it on Instagram. “By now I’m sure a lot y’all have seen some ads about me losing weight, being hospitalized and then I started taking some weight loss gummies and blah blah blah that saved my life. Well surprise, it ain’t true. People will do whatever to make a dollar, even if it is lies. Cause ain’t nobody sent me any gummies.” Adding that if she’s lost any weight it’s because she’s running around on stage every night of her life.

Radar Online says Taylor Swift’s latest ex, Joe Alwyn has no interest in reconciling with her…at all. A source tells the website, “Joe’s not happy to have been added to the long list of ex’s she now writes songs about. He’s happy to be out of that relationship and has no interest in getting back with her.”

Jordan Davis tells People magazine that he gets better sleep on the road than at home. “I get the best nights of sleep on tour. Granted, it’s in the back of a bus going 70 miles an hour down the road! So that tells you how nicely things are going at our house with two children.”

Welcome to The List,
Mike Tyson says he’s open to a rematch with Jake Paul after Jake’s recent loss to Anthony Joshua. Tyson claims this time he’s cracked the code on training, saying he went too hard before and “left most of the fight in the gym.” RadarOnline says Mike thinks a smarter camp would change everything. Which is wild, because the man is still Mike Tyson. If this happens, somebody hide the ear protection… literally.

Taylor Swift reportedly used to be hesitant about dating athletes until Travis Kelce showed up. A source says her mom encouraged her to give Travis a chance, and now Taylor’s outlook has completely changed. Not only that, insiders claim the relationship has boosted the Chiefs’ global presence. Turns out the tight end also unlocked international brand expansion.

Lainey Wilson told CMT she stays grounded by remembering where she came from. She said it’s about planting your feet, knowing who you are, standing up for what you believe in, and keeping your people close. Which explains why she can win everything, host award shows, and still sound like the most normal human in Nashville.

Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban are reportedly still neighbors in Nashville as they focus on co-parenting their daughters. Nicole stays in the family home, Keith lives nearby, and they’re even spotted shopping at the same stores…just separately. A source says their dedication to the kids is unwavering. Awkward? Maybe.

Tom Cruise is allegedly on a long, carefully planned mission to become Sir Tom Cruise. A source says this has been years in the making hosting events, shaking hands, embedding himself deep in the British film world. Apparently he knows exactly how the system works and he’s been playing the long game. At this point, don’t be shocked if the next Mission: Impossible ends with him bowing politely and accepting a sword tap on each shoulder.

Miranda Lambert is developing a new TV series for Hulu inspired by her music and real-life friendships. The show centers on a messy female friendship, an escape from an abusive marriage, and a fresh start in a small Texas town that turns out to be full of secrets. So basically heartbreak, healing, strong women, and Texas drama which is already Miranda’s brand. Country music meets prestige TV.

Jon Pardi says Christmas music is what keeps his household sane. He’s got two little girls with very big emotions, so songs like Frosty the Snowman and Rudolph are on constant rotation. Forget parenting books the real hack is letting a cartoon reindeer handle crowd control..
