Welcome to The List,
Thomas Rhett may be one of country music’s biggest stars, but his biggest fears are probably pretty similar to yours mentioning that some of his phobias are a bit “strange.” But one that I can relate to!! Spiders! He doesn’t like spiders and roaches…you can keep those too. Something that I wouldn’t have thought, was that he doesn’t like to be in the dark by himself. He usually sleeps with the TV on when sleeping by himself.” All in all, not that strange or uncommon
People love country music for different reasons…Cole Swindell of course loves country music, he makes a living with it but beyond THAT.. “Because it tells a story it makes you feel something whether it’s a fun song getting you through a good time or a sad song getting you through a bad time it always makes me feel something that’s why I love country music.”
Matt Damon talks about letting Ben Affleck crash on his couch being the inspiration for ‘Good Will Hunting” “Instantly became untenable, all of his stuff in our living room. We Were like, we gotta change this. I think that’s what made us work so hard on the screenplay, we had to get out of that apartment.” Matt has a new movie ‘Stillwater’ in theaters Friday.
Bob Odenkirk has been hospitalized. The 58-year-old actor collapsed on the set of Better Call Saul and was rushed to the hospital on Tuesday. Odenkirk remains under medical care. No further update on his condition was shared. Odenkirk was filming on the Sony Lot in Culver City, California, when he fell and crew members called the ambulance, per TMZ who was first to report the news. Odenkirk is currently shooting the sixth and final season of Better Call Saul.

Welcome to The List,
Lainey Wilson says she would absolutely jump back into the saddle for upcoming Yellowstone spin-offs. She told creator Taylor Sheridan she would gladly reprise her role. Country star. Acting chops. Cowboy hats. Honestly, at this point Lainey just lives in fringe and Montana. And we are not mad about it.

Adam Sandler says that viral video about his daughter getting humiliated in a Chanel store is completely fake. The AI clip shows him storming in and dropping $312,000 on handbags. He says the whole story is 100 percent insane and made-up. However… The midnight In-N-Out burger run rumor? He says that one is true. Priorities.
-----
Rumor alert. Reports claim Taylor Swift has allegedly decided not to invite Blake Lively or Ryan Reynolds to her upcoming wedding. Sources say she wants a drama-free day and still feels burned from being pulled into Blake’s legal mess. Allegedly. Emphasis on allegedly. Nothing says romance like a very selective guest list.
-----
Kelsea Ballerini and Chase Stokes have reportedly split. Again. That makes three times. At this point it is less “will they or won’t they” and more “we’ll circle back.” Call me when it sticks.
