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.

Welcome to The List,
Tyler Hubbard is learning to fly planes! Because clearly being a country star, dad, and heartthrob just wasn’t adventurous enough. He told CountryNow.com he’s excited to “have the stick in his hand.” Oh, are you now? Buckle up, Captain Hubbard is in the cockpit. Pray he’s better at landing planes than Florida Georgia Line landed that whole solo career thing.

Post Malone was performing in Phoenix, tried to cheers a fan, and full-on yeeted himself off the stage. But like a true hero, he rolled out of it with zero injuries and—more importantly—saved the drink. That, ladies and gentlemen, is what we call a professional drinker. Priorities: 1. Beverage. 2. Bones.

Diddy is planning a trial victory party... before the trial's even over. Champagne, cameras, and enough ego to power a small country. One insider called it “Studio 54 meets Gatsby meets petty revenge tour.” He’s not just trying to clear his name—he’s scrubbing the guest list. Win or lose in court, he's making sure somebody’s gettin’ cut. THIS is what we call “Putting the cart before the horse.”

Fun fact: If you go on America’s Got Talent, you’re basically signing up to get roasted by a room full of strangers—and that's before the judges weigh in. The show’s fine print might as well say “We can embarrass you in 4K and you can’t say squat.” So dream big, sing loud, and get ready to be turned into a meme.
