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?”

Welcome to The List,
Carrie Underwood is back for her 13th season of belting out the “Sunday Night Football” theme and honestly, at this point, she should be listed on the injury report as a starting vocalist. If you watched the Hall of Fame game last night, you got a sneak peek. First official SNF matchup? September 7th. Set your DVRs and your expectations.

WELL WHATCHA GONNA DO, BROTHER—when you find out you’ve got a surprise $4 million in the bank?! Hulk Hogan’s buddy randomly discovered a hidden account at a Bank of America ATM linked to old merch deals and even Hogan himself didn’t know it existed. Meanwhile, his ex-wife Linda is somewhere flipping furniture.

Eric Church says he avoids social media so his fans can do the talking for him. Because apparently nothing says “rock and roll rebel” like crowd-sourced tweets. He told Billboard it’s always been about the music not memes, not threads just music. Let the fans tweet, he’ll stick to guitars and sunglasses.

Diddy wants his verdicts tossed out or a new trial altogether. His legal team says the charges don’t fit under the Mann Act and that the women involved chose to participate. The courtroom is now a remix of legal jargon, past behavior, and high-stakes lawyering. Stay tuned, because this legal drama has more twists than a Bad Boy beat.
