Welcome to The List,
Eric Church ain’t just strumming guitars—he’s breaking ground! His nonprofit just kicked off their first housing project ever in North Carolina, and he’s calling it a “lifeline.” Basically: Eric’s out here building more than just houses—he’s laying down heart and soul, hammer in hand. Move over HGTV, Church is coming in hot!

Ella Langley just showed up and chose violence—with eight ACM noms to her name! Right behind her? Cody Johnson, Morgan Wallen, and Lainey Wilson with seven each. Oh, and Reba’s hosting, so you know we’re gettin’ sass, sparkle, and possibly a rhinestone mic drop. May 8 on Prime Video—yeehaw, y’all!

Chris Rock is not laughing—again. Word is, he’s ticked at Will Smith for milking that Oscars slap in his new music. Chris says Will’s still “arrogant and self-serving.” Honestly? Hard agree. Will’s trying to rebrand like we forgot—but we remember, sir. We remember.

Ryan Coogler is on fire right now—his horror-musical Sinners just crushed the box office, and next up? A reboot of The X-Files! He says it’s “immediately next” on his to-do list and yes—he’s already talked to the iconic Gillian Anderson. Quote: “She’s incredible. Fingers crossed.” He promises it’ll be “really friggin’ scary” and made “for the real X-Files fans—and maybe some new ones.

Welcome to The List,
The new Superman movie isn’t just saving the box office—it’s apparently saving people's mental health too. Fans say it’s helping them overcome depression and anxiety. Why? Because it’s full of hope, kindness, and James Gunn-level optimism. They’re calling it hopecore! Which sounds like a therapy genre for superheroes.

Brad Pitt is 61 and somehow still looks like a Calvin Klein ad. People say it's not just his skincare line keeping him young. A Turkish plastic surgeon claims Brad might’ve had a facelift—thanks to a little scar behind his ear seen in his new movie. So maybe it’s not just eye cream and kale smoothies, huh?

Darius Rucker was on stage in Atlantic City when his voice said, “Nope.” A few songs in, he apologized to the crowd and had to call it quits. Total pro move though, he gave everyone a full refund. I’ve heard concerts where the singer should’ve done that and didn’t.

Lainey Wilson is bringing the bling! She’s launching her own western-themed jewelry collection with rings, necklaces, earrings you name it. So now you can cry in your cowboy hat and your rhinestones. On-brand and bedazzled!
