Welcome to The List,
Aaron Rodgers showed up at Packers training camp yesterday looking exactly like Nicolas Cage in “Con Air” . . . long hair, facial hair, wife beater, jeans and boots. He even posted comparison pics on Instagram.

Ashley McBryde is still afraid to talk to Dolly Parton because of something she did 10 years ago. She was new to Nashville and housesitting at Dolly’s place when a microwave caught fire and almost burned the place down.

The “MTV Video Music Award” nominees were announced yesterday. Kendrick Lamar, Lil Nas X, and Jack Harlow lead with seven, followed by Doja Cat and Harry Styles with six. The ceremony will be Sunday, August 28th. Voting is open. The VMAs are that one special day each year that Music Television gets to step outside its comfort zone and focus on music.

Cole Swindell has a hit song with ‘She Had Me At Heads, Carolina’ no doubt but he got approval from Jo Dee Messina’s writer first! “The original songwriters of the Jo Dee Messina song gave us their blessing. We wrote this with them and I think it’s just gonna take you back to the ‘90s…the first time you heard Jo Dee Messina’s ‘Heads Carolina, Tails California’- pretty cool to get to put our own spin on it.” Top Kix at Six here we come…

Welcome to The List,
Country star Cole Swindell just admitted something we can ALL relate to—he used to hate the sound of his own voice. In a recent interview, he said, “Nobody really likes hearing themselves talk.” Well, Cole, join the club. If you've ever cringed at your own voicemail or nearly thrown your phone across the room after hearing yourself in a video, you get it. Luckily for Cole, he powered through the awkwardness and now has multiple hit songs. The rest of us? Still avoiding voice memos at all costs.

Kelsea Ballerini fans are dedicated—but one took it to the next level at her recent concert in Salt Lake City. The fan asked her to sign his actual divorce decree, thanking her for helping him through his breakup. Ballerini politely declined (probably a smart legal move), but the interaction quickly went viral. The real question is: Was his ex there, and did she demand joint custody of the concert tickets?

Kelly Clarkson is reportedly considering leaving The Kelly Clarkson Show to take over for Hoda Kotb on The Today Show. Why? Because talk show hosting is exhausting, and she wants more time with her kids. Honestly, fair. Running a daily talk show is like throwing a dinner party every single day—but with celebrity guests and an audience judging your every move. An NBC insider says the switch is a real possibility, meaning morning TV could soon have more Kelly and possibly… fewer impromptu Hoda dance breaks?

A new Netflix rom-com is doing the unthinkable—convincing people to make major life decisions. The Life List, starring Sofia Carson, follows a woman completing her late mother’s bucket list, and apparently, it’s inspiring real-life viewers to dump their toxic partners and quit their terrible jobs. So if you see a co-worker watching it on their lunch break, brace yourself—they might be handing in their two weeks’ notice by the end of the day.
