Welcome to The List,
We start with Jada Pinkett, we talked about it a little yesterday. Today we find out that Chris Rock took that Oscar slap for NOTHING . . . because Will Smith and Jada Pinkett weren’t even together when it happened. The first thing Jada said to Will once they were alone was, quote, “Are you okay?” Jada says that right after the slap, during a commercial break, Chris came to the end of the stage and tried to apologize to her. But she told him, quote, “I can’t talk about this now, Chris. This is some old stuff.” As for the joke that prompted the slap, Jada won’t say it offended her. Quote, “I mean, that’s what comedians do. Sounds like there’s a lot of manipulation going on here….

If you’re a coffee lover you share something in common with Kelsea Ballerini she tells Billboard magazine that her morning cup of coffee sets the tone for her day. She says she’s had coffee that ruins her day because it’s not good enough and she’s had coffee that starts her day off well and she feels like Wonder Woman. It just really matters.”

Tomorrow is Friday the 13th, and Spirit Halloween has found a pretty cool way to celebrate. They’re taking over the Blairstown Diner in New Jersey . . . which was featured in the ORIGINAL “Friday the 13th”, back in 1980. They’re hosting events throughout the day, including ax throwing, free horror caricatures, horror face painting, and a bloody pie eating contest.

Have you ever tried to act cool, and ended up embarrassing yourself instead? Jelly Roll can relate. He posted a video making fun of himself after he beefed it while getting off a private jet the other day. It was a pretty hard tumble but it sounds like he’ll be okay. We have the video HERE.

Welcome to The List,
Travis Kelce is out here setting expectations so high the rest of us are gonna get yelled at for bringing home gas station flowers. He’s reportedly spent $141,000 on pre-wedding gifts for Taylor Swift, including Rolex watches, designer jackets, and daily flower deliveries. Daily. Meanwhile, I forgot my anniversary once and tried to fix it with a breakfast burrito. Travis Kelce just ruined relationships for every man in America.

Lainey Wilson is teasing new music, and the title might be the most Lainey Wilson thing ever. The new single is called “Can’t Sit Still,” which tracks, because she’s been everywhere except my back yard party. She says her friends describe her as “a suitcase with legs,” which honestly sounds like Delta Airlines lost her twice already. No official release date yet, but she says it’s coming “real soon,” so prepare your playlists accordingly.

Bunnie XO just revealed she thought Jelly Roll was a jerk when they first met, which proves once again women love a fixer-upper. She said he had “teddy bear with teeth energy” and sad eyes, and she basically looked at him like a home improvement project from HGTV. Fast forward to now, they’re one of Country music’s biggest power couples. Moral of the story, sometimes the guy who ignores you becomes your husband.

The new Mummy reboot is ditching the Tom Cruise action vibe and going straight for emotional damage. This one’s from the director of Evil Dead Rise, so instead of running from explosions, you’ll be running from your own nightmares. It’s about a girl who disappears and comes back after spending quality time inside a 3,000-year-old coffin. It hits theaters April 17th, and I’ll be watching it from the safety of daylight and denial.
