Welcome to The List,
Legendary comedian Carol Burnett says she’s officially ready to quit acting now that she’s in her 90s. After decades of TV, movies, and making millions laugh, Carol says she’s done and ready to enjoy a quiet life. And honestly, that feels earned. At this point, Carol Burnett owes nobody anything. Except maybe one last smile.

Blake Shelton admits his biggest tour guilty pleasure is Cheetos. In an interview with People, Blake said they’re his number one bus snack and justified it by calling them “basically orange air.” That logic has fueled many questionable snack decisions nationwide. Science has not confirmed this, but Blake seems confident.

William Shatner was spotted in Los Angeles casually eating a bowl of cereal while driving. A paparazzi photo shows the 94-year-old actor enjoying breakfast at a red light. No word on where he was headed, but clearly, when you’re Captain Kirk, traffic laws bend around you. Bold choice. Legendary energy….to be fair he WAS at a red light…

Dolly Parton’s 80th birthday just got even better. Bono surprised Dolly by sending bagpiper Pat Darcy to play “Happy Birthday” for her. He even included a cake with a personal message. When rock stars send bagpipes, you know you’ve reached icon status.

Welcome to The List,
Hudson Westbrook is finding out real fast what it feels like when a song stops being yours and starts being everybody’s. He says every time he plays “House Again,” the crowd is already singing it back to him like it’s been around for 20 years. The song’s all about leaving something familiar, a place, a person, or that phase of life where you thought gas would never hit four bucks. Congrats, Hudson. You wrote a feelings song and now strangers are screaming it at you.

The regret meter might be flashing red in Keith Urban land, at least according to the rumor mill. Sources are whispering that Nicole Kidman still loves him, misses him, and that her friends are basically standing guard yelling, “Do not text him after midnight.” Nostalgia is powerful, folks. It’s the same thing that convinces you bangs were a good idea in 2004.

Bruce Willis’ wife Emma Heming is opening up about his dementia, sharing that Bruce doesn’t fully realize what’s happening and that she’s grateful he isn’t suffering with that awareness. It’s a heavy reminder that sometimes love looks like strength, patience, and showing up every single day even when life rewrites the script.

Lainey Wilson is having herself a moment and then putting it on Netflix. Her new documentary, “Lainey Wilson: Keepin’ Country Cool,” hits this spring and follows her journey from tough breaks to big wins. And because Lainey never does just one thing at a time, she also teamed up with Wrangler for cowboy-inspired tracksuits, complete with studs and flared legs. Country music, but make it comfy.
