Welcome to The List,
The National Enquirer claims American Idol owes its comeback to Jelly Roll — and some of the judges aren’t exactly thrilled. Apparently, Lionel and Luke are jealous because Jelly’s too busy throwing parties, making friends, and just being a walking ball of good vibes. Honestly… how dare he save the show by being awesome? The nerve!

Jason Aldean told Billboard that Carrie Underwood’s kids have played baseball against his and that there’s no way her kids are beating his kids at baseball. Experts say the matchup was intense — lots of Capri Suns, a few scraped knees, and one very sweaty Jason trash-talking an 8-year-old from the bleachers. Somebody get this man a juice box and a participation trophy!

Word is Tom Cruise is trying to win over Ana de Armas — but there’s just a tiny hurdle: she’s 36, her boyfriend’s 27, and Tom… is 62. But hey, age is just a number… until your number qualifies you for the senior discount at IHOP. Good luck, Maverick. it’s not 1986 anymore. You’re not battling Russians in a fighter jet — you’re battling TikTok boyfriends with better hair.

This just in – Apparently Travis Kelce unfollowed Ryan Reynolds because Taylor Swift is somehow tied up in Blake Lively’s legal drama. Wow. I haven’t seen stakes this high since I overcooked a Hot Pocket.

Welcome to The List,
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are allegedly hitting a rough patch not over romance, but over the prenup. An insider claims the financial talks are “cold-hearted,” mostly because their bank accounts look like they’re from two different planets. Travis wants to play another season or two and eventually jump into broadcasting, and apparently Taylor’s not thrilled with that plan. The source says there is supposed to be a wedding this offseason… but right now the negotiations look less like love and more like Shark Tank.

Willie Nelson is fed up with the internet declaring him dead every other week and he finally said something. He posted a photo of himself snoozing on a couch with the caption, “If you believe those A.I. death stories one more time.” For months, fake AI posts claimed he collapsed, was hospitalized, or worse. None of it true. Willie’s still here, still laughing, still alive… and more coherent than some of the people posting about him.

Diddy allegedly thinks someone in his own family sold him out after 50 Cent got access to leaked footage for the Netflix documentary ‘The Reckoning’. The footage shows him distressed on a phone call and Diddy is reportedly determined to figure out who leaked it. He believes only family had access to something that sensitive. And after watching parts of the doc myself? Yeah… “eye-opening” is putting it lightly. This story gets messier by the hour.

Luke Combs told ESPN he wants to headline the Super Bowl halftime show and watch his Carolina Panthers win that same game. Bold. Very bold. He said he grew up in Charlotte when the Panthers became a team, so it’s “in his blood.” Look, we love the confidence but asking for a halftime slot and a Panthers Super Bowl victory is what scientists call “a miracle.”
