Welcome to The List,
Zach Top just confessed in Billboard that he used to dream of being a cowboy… until he realized he was terrible at being one. Like, no rope skills, no yee, no haw. So instead, he grabbed a guitar and decided to sing about cowboys instead. Honestly, that’s the country version of “fake it till you make it.”

Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez are getting married in Venice, Italy—and when billionaires throw a wedding, they don’t just rent a ballroom… they buy the whole ZIP code. A source says the wedding’s gonna cost 800 MILLION dollars. That’s not a wedding, that’s the Marvel Cinematic Universe of matrimony. Oprah and DiCaprio are on the guest list. Bezos is walking down the aisle, and the economy is walking off a cliff.

Ben Affleck says his kids have to get jobs. Why? Because one of ‘em asked for a pair of $6,000 sneakers. And Ben was like, “Nah, bro. You want kicks that cost more than my back tattoo? Get a W-2.” Honestly, imagine telling your 10-year-old, “Here’s your lunchbox and your LinkedIn password.”

Country singer Riley Green says he’s been auditioning lately and might try his hand at acting. Which makes sense. He already has that whole “guy who walks into a bar in a Hallmark movie and changes your life” look. If he pulls this off, he’ll be the first country star to go from singing about heartbreak to pretending to be heartbroken… professionally!

Trivial Pursuit was created in the 1970's. Do you know what year?
Welcome to The List,
Diddy is allegedly gearing up for a one-billion-dollar legal smackdown against Netflix over the docuseries Sean Combs: The Reckoning. His camp says there’s unauthorized personal footage in the series. The director fired back saying the footage came to them legally, with full rights, and added that Diddy has basically filmed himself obsessively for decades. She also says they repeatedly asked his legal team for comment and heard… nothing. I’ve watched it and let’s just say, this lawsuit is gonna need popcorn. We with him all the luck.

Lainey Wilson and Devlin Hodges are reportedly planning a big, expensive wedding and sources say Lainey wants the best of the best. Here’s the twist: neither one of them is swimming in mega-millions. But Lainey loves everyone, considers everyone a friend, and apparently invited half of Nashville. Rumored guests include Dolly, Blake and Gwen, Luke Bryan, Jelly Roll, Morgan Wallen, and more. At this point, it’s less a wedding and more a CMA after-party with vows.

The lineup is out for New Year’s Eve Live: Nashville’s Big Bash and it is stacked. Lainey Wilson, Zach Top, Riley Green, Megan Moroney, and a whole parade of country hitmakers are ringing in the new year. So if you’re staying home on New Year’s Eve, congratulations Nashville already planned your soundtrack.

And finally… when Leslie Nielsen died, he went out exactly how you’d expect. A fart machine was placed in his casket and anyone walking up to the bar at his funeral could push a button and make him fart. Even in death, the man committed to the bit. That’s not just comedy… that’s legacy planning.
