The List,

"Country star Megan Moroney just proved she's not above getting her hands dirty—or glittery. After a show in Athens, Georgia, she helped staff clean up by sweeping up confetti with a dustpan like a sparkly Cinderella. Fans called her a 'helpful queen,' and honestly, same—because if I drop glitter at home, it stays there forever. Respect to a woman who can sing a ballad and operate a Swiffer."

-----

"Alec Baldwin’s new reality show, The Baldwins, is bombing harder than a first date with no Wi-Fi. Only 420,000 people tuned in—which, by TV standards, is like your mom and a couple raccoons. Apparently, Alec even blamed his wife Hilaria for not bringing enough sparkle. Yikes. When your marriage and your ratings are both circling the drain... maybe don’t record it?"

-----

"Over 47,000 people want to rename Nashville’s airport after Dolly Parton. Yes, Dolly Parton International Airport—because nothing says 'safe landing' like 9-inch acrylics and rhinestones. Honestly, I’d absolutely fly 'Departin’ from Parton' Airlines. The flight attendants would sing you lullabies, and your baggage would come out fully bedazzled."

"If you're one of those people quietly rooting for Harry and Meghan to split—first, you’re messy. Second, here's your gossip: Harry reportedly hates that Meghan’s showing off their kids on social media to boost her brand. He wants privacy. She wants Malibu beach days and matching mommy-kid influencer looks. So basically—it’s 'The Crown: California Edition.' Stay tuned or just follow her on Instagram."

Welcome to The List,

Will Smith is trying to make a rap comeback, but hip-hop fans aren’t exactly getting jiggy with it. A source says he’s basically a senior citizen now, and today’s rap crowd just doesn’t think he’s relevant. So, Will is testing the waters overseas before hitting the U.S. Translation? If it flops in Europe, he can just pretend it never happened. Honestly, if anyone can make “Grandpa Rap” a thing, it’s probably Will Smith.

Morgan Wallen was on Theo Von’s podcast, and things got real when they started talking about bars. Morgan admitted he hasn’t stepped foot in one since… well, the last time—and let’s just say, we all remember how that went. Now, whether that’s a personal choice or a strong legal recommendation is up for debate. But hey, at least he knows when to walk away… even if it took a few tries.

Lainey Wilson has spent her entire life working on music, but what made her really blow up? Her butt. Seriously, she went viral on TikTok because of her curves—not her chords. She says at first, she thought it was funny, but then she realized people just wouldn’t stop talking about it. Lesson learned? Never read the comments. Unless, of course, they’re all raving about your rear end—then maybe just skim them.

Details about Val Kilmer's health in his final days have been released.  He was bed-bound due to a lack of energy from his cancer treatments. Val's declining health led to his body being unable to fight and him passing at age 65 after battling pneumonia.  Val, known for his intense method acting techniques, filled his bed with ice while filming ’Tombstone’ to mimic the feeling of dying from tuberculosis.
