Welcome to The List,
The 18th Annual ACM Honors went down and they were handing out trophies like candy. Randy Travis walked away with the Milestone Award, Jelly Roll snagged the Lifting Lives Award, and Cody Johnson grabbed the Spirit Award. Basically, the only award missing was “Most Likely to Outdrink the Other Two.”

Page Six says Hulk Hogan’s daughter Brooke might be onto something big. She claims her dad could’ve died because of medical malpractice yep, somebody may have clipped his phrenic nerve in surgery, messing with his breathing. Brooke’s calling for answers, and the investigation’s still rolling. This drama’s sounding more like a WrestleMania storyline than real life.

Eric Church admitted his dad bribed him into going to college. Seventeen-year-old Eric wanted to be a country star, Dad said, “Cool… but graduate first, and I’ll cover six months’ rent in Nashville.” And Eric went for it. Proof that sometimes parental wisdom is just a thinly veiled cash bribe.

Rumor mill says two massive Hollywood stars went at each other on the set of Avengers: Doomsday. Why? Somebody told a joke that didn’t land shocking, right? Word is it might’ve been Pedro Pascal and Robert Downey Jr. Honestly, if Iron Man and The Mandalorian are throwing shade, just sell tickets to that fight.

Tom Cruise is allegedly on a long, carefully planned mission to become Sir Tom Cruise. A source says this has been years in the making hosting events, shaking hands, embedding himself deep in the British film world. Apparently he knows exactly how the system works and he’s been playing the long game. At this point, don’t be shocked if the next Mission: Impossible ends with him bowing politely and accepting a sword tap on each shoulder.

Miranda Lambert is developing a new TV series for Hulu inspired by her music and real-life friendships. The show centers on a messy female friendship, an escape from an abusive marriage, and a fresh start in a small Texas town that turns out to be full of secrets. So basically heartbreak, healing, strong women, and Texas drama which is already Miranda’s brand. Country music meets prestige TV.

Jon Pardi says Christmas music is what keeps his household sane. He’s got two little girls with very big emotions, so songs like Frosty the Snowman and Rudolph are on constant rotation. Forget parenting books the real hack is letting a cartoon reindeer handle crowd control..
