Welcome to The List,
Talk about the end of an era: Big news from Netflix…they’re ending their DVD-by-mail business after 25 years. And yes, people ARE still getting DVDs by mail from Netflix. But not for much longer. The last of those red envelopes will be mailed out September 29th . . . and will have to be returned by October 27th. Netflix also announced that they’ll be phasing in their “paid sharing” plan in the coming weeks . . . which is a less aggressive way to say that they’re cracking down on password sharing.

OK! magazine claims Ben Affleck is allegedly trying to keep things civil between Jennifer Lopez and his ex-wife, Jennifer Garner. A source tells the magazine that Garner upset Lopez when she said she tries to keep her family out of the media. “It’s Jennifer’s way of saying Ben looks miserable and all his appearances in public are lame.

The HARDY WE know almost wasn’t, He tells Forbes magazine that he wasn’t sure if he wanted a record deal. Saying he went in there and half the record label is in the room. And they said, ‘We’re offering you a record deal.’ I was like oh God, because I was still apprehensive. I just didn’t know what it would entail.

Welcome to The List,
It’s been 40 years since Live Aid rocked the world—literally. Back on July 13, 1985, Wembley and JFK Stadiums tag-teamed a global concert watched by nearly 2 billion people. And now? CNN’s dropping a 4-part doc, and the UK is throwing it a full-blown birthday party. That’s right—Live Aid’s old enough to complain about back pain now!

Ozzy Osbourne has officially hung up the bat wings. His last-ever concert—"Back to the Beginning"—went down July 5th in Birmingham with Black Sabbath and a parade of metal legends. It was epic, emotional, and charitable! When he sang “Mama I’m Coming Home,” even the devils in the mosh pit teared up.

Jelly Roll clapped back HARD at people calling his wife a gold digger. He said, "She was a high-end escort when I met her—I was the broke one living in a van!" And honestly? The man married up! So maybe stop judging and start taking notes, huh?

Parker McCollum was asked the most country thing he’s ever done… and buckle up: He said, “Rode a horse bareback. Naked. In Crocs.” I—what?! That is peak country chaos right there. And no, there are no plans for a repeat performance. His words, not mine.
