The List for Tuesday, May 20th 2025

Welcome to The List,

Tom Cruise told The Hollywood Reporter he plans to make movies into his 100s. Not kidding. He said, “I’ll never stop. I’ll never stop doing action.” OK, Tom. At this rate, “Mission: Oxygen Tank” drops in 2058, and I can’t wait to see him sprinting down the hall of a nursing home yelling, “I do my own stunts!”

Tim McGraw hasn’t performed since last June and apparently his body is throwing a full-on protest. After back surgery and some knees that are mad at him, he’s worried he can’t bounce back. Word is, he overdid the workouts to avoid the booze. And now he’s paying for it—classic overachiever move. If he does get back on stage, it’ll be powered by sheer will… and possibly duct tape.

—–

Allegedly—and I say that with a capital A—Taylor Swift has cut ties with Blake Lively after Blake supposedly threatened to leak her private texts. If true, that’s some soap opera-level betrayal. A source says there’s “no recovering from this.” Yeah, when you mess with Swift, you don’t just lose a friend—you earn yourself a whole bonus track.

Country legend Alan Jackson says he’s retiring from touring. At his final stop this weekend, he said, “This is my last road show.” He’ll do one big finale in Nashville—because of course it’s Nashville. If you’ve ever two-stepped to “Chattahoochee,” now’s the time to dust off those boots and ugly-cry in public.

The List for Wednesday, June 11th 2025

Welcome to The List,

Wynonna Judd kicks off her greatest hits tour this Friday in Georgia—because apparently, she’s on a mission to remind us what real country music used to sound like. Her words, not mine. She said, “I don't think we celebrate it enough.” Translation: “Y’all forgot about me, and I’m here to fix that.”

-----

Riley Green is staying fit on tour by channeling Kenny Chesney… and maybe a little Rocky Balboa. He told Men’s Health he uses a portable gym and runs stairs wearing a weighted vest—because nothing says “country strong” like sweating in a parking lot next to your tour bus.

-----

Jennifer Aniston is trying to reboot 9 to 5, but here’s the plot twist—she can’t find any co-stars. She wants Zendaya and Sydney Sweeney, but they're booked solid till like 2087. Word is, younger actresses just aren’t feelin' the vibe of a movie about... ya know, fax machines and pantyhose.

-----

Alec Baldwin’s wife Hilaria is doing yoga in heels. Yes, sparkly red pumps. Because when you're a mom of seven and married to Alec, your balance game better be elite. Some folks found it weird, others called it “fashionably functional.” I call it... “why is this a headline?”

The List for Tuesday, June 10th 2025

Welcome to The List,

Oh look—Riley Green and Megan Moroney are still playing the “we’re just friends” game. Yeah, because just friends take tropical vacations together and hang out in small-town Alabama like it’s a Hallmark movie. Blink twice if y’all are dating... or filming the world’s slowest rom-com.

-----

Zach Top just dropped news of his second album, called “Ain’t in It for My Health,” out August 29th—because clearly, he’s in it for the beers and the bangers. And speaking of, he just released a summer jam called “Good Times and Tan Lines.” Yes please.

-----

Welp, Justin Baldoni’s $400 million lawsuit against Blake Lively just got booted out of court—faster than a toddler at a Metallica concert. No word on what’s next, but I’m guessing fewer lawyers and more PR people.

-----

A true music legend—Sly Stone—has passed away at 82 after a battle with COPD. The funk-rock pioneer changed the game forever. Rest easy, Sly… and thank you for the groove that made a million hips lie.
