Welcome to The List,
Reba McEntire is hosting the ACM Awards again—and she lives for the chaos of live TV. She said, “I love it!” Of course you do, Reba… you thrive on awkward jokes and camera mishaps like it’s your cardio. Meanwhile, Rascal Flatts—yes, the band that retired before my last oil change—somehow got nominated for Group of the Year. And here’s a twist: George Strait, the literal King of Country, has been nominated for Entertainer of the Year 14 times… and only won twice. That’s not a stat—that’s a roast. The ACMs air tonight at 8pm on Amazon Prime!

Some cardinals who will help pick the next Pope are reportedly watching the movie Conclave… to figure out how conclaves work. Yes—grown men in red robes are binge-watching a film for research on how to choose the Pope. What’s next? Picking a new Dalai Lama based on a BuzzFeed quiz?

The Diddy case just got even messier. Prosecutors might go to trial without a key witness—“Victim-3”—because they can’t find her. Yikes. But no worries, they’ve still got other witnesses, including his ex Cassie. So the courtroom might be short one witness, but it’ll have plenty of tea.

Chris Stapleton’s Traveller just hit its 10-year anniversary—and somehow, it’s STILL on the Billboard 200 after 500 weeks. That’s right, half a thousand weeks. That album’s got more staying power than your uncle’s ‘temporary’ garage couch. You can now pre-order the 10-year vinyl edition… and pretend you’re cooler than you actually are.

What weather event happens when warm air and cold air meet?
Welcome to The List,
Hollywood lost a true action legend today. Chuck Norris, the martial arts star and longtime “Walker, Texas Ranger” icon, has died at age 86, according to statements from his family. Beyond the screen, his larger-than-life reputation exploded online through viral “Chuck Norris facts,” turning him into one of pop culture’s most enduring memes.

Arnold is back forging steel abs in Venice - Schwarzenegger is grinding at the legendary Gold’s Gym again, training for a Conan sequel. He wants real muscles on screen, even if Hollywood quietly sprinkles in some CGI seasoning.
-----
Luke Combs battled wings like a true warrior - Luke became the first country star on Hot Ones, turkey calling between bites and comparing spicy wings to a home invasion. Nashville just found a new extreme sport.
-----
Lainey, Riley, and Cody bringing stadium energy - The ACM Awards are heading to Vegas, and this trio is set to light up the MGM Grand stage. Rhinestones, roar, and probably at least one cowboy hat thrown in victory.
