Welcome to The List,
We saw THIS coming a mile away…Jennifer Garner has reportedly been given an ultimatum by her boyfriend. If he sees another picture like the one of Jennifer and Ben Affleck cuddling at paintball, he’s out the door.

Blake Shelton just can’t seem to stop with all the onstage PDA. First Trace Adkins told him no more kisses on the cheek. Now this . . .A video of Blake bringing an 84-year-old lady on stage for a birthday hug is making the rounds online. It was pretty cute. It happened two weekends ago at his show in Greensboro, North Carolina. She was out in the crowd with a sign that said, “May I hug you for my 84th birthday?” (WARNING: He says the word “damn” early on in the video, and the song lyrics include the phrase “wild-a**.” She shows up on stage around 1:20.)

RadarOnline.com says the Oscars bosses are considering offering Chris Rock a huge sum to host the 2026 Academy Awards in hopes he can inject excitement back into the show. It seems he has unfinished business following the Will Smith affair and he’d be a huge audience winner.

Welcome to The List,
Kim Kardashian just testified against the “grandpa robbers” who tied her up and stole her jewelry in Paris back in 2016. And how did she show up to court? In $7 million worth of diamonds—including a 52-carat necklace. That’s carat, not karat. She said when they broke in at 3am, she was in a bathrobe and thought she was going to die. So naturally, she dressed like a human vault to face them. Classic Kim.

Remember when Morgan Wallen peaced out of SNL faster than a dad at a toddler’s dance recital? He finally explained why: “I was ready to go home. I’d been there all week.” That’s it. No drama. No tantrum. Just a man who’d had enough New York. He even posted “Get me to God’s country” from the tarmac. Honestly? Mood.

George Strait turns 73 this Sunday and just hinted at when he’ll retire. He said he’s got about “five good years” left on stage. Which means the King of Country might still be touring at 78. The man’s been performing for over 50 years—since his Army days. And he’s still selling out shows. Last summer? Over 110,000 people packed into Texas A&M to see him. Legend status confirmed.

A new book says George Clooney called for Biden to drop out right after a fundraiser where... Biden didn’t recognize him. Clooney. The guy from Ocean’s Eleven. The one he’s known for years. The book says Clooney was “shaken to his core.” I mean, if George Clooney walked up to me and I said “Do I know you?”—I’d assume I’d been hit in the head with a frying pan.
