The List for Friday, October 17th 2025

Welcome to The List,

Looks like Keith Urban’s gone full hermit since splitting from Nicole Kidman. He skipped the red carpet for his new show The Road because, apparently, the only thing rougher than that title is his divorce. Sources say he’s “embarrassed” and doesn’t want to steal attention from the show. Translation: he knows the headlines would read “Keith Urban Bad Guy in Boots.” Maybe it’s time for a song called The Road to Reputation Recovery.

Zach Top loves classic country, but his real passion? The Seattle Mariners. He’s so obsessed, he SKIPPED an encore in Louisville just to watch the game. Yep ditched fans to sprint backstage for score updates. His monitor guy was literally whispering play-by-plays in his ear mid-song! Mariners slugger Cal Raleigh even uses Zach’s “Bad Luck” as his walk-up tune. Guess when it comes to baseball and country, Zach’s playing both fields… but only one gets his encore.

Rock lost a legend KISS guitarist and original “Spaceman” Ace Frehley passed away at 74. He was hospitalized after a fall caused a brain bleed, and his family made the heartbreaking decision to take him off life support. Ace helped define that face-paint, fire-breathing era of rock since 1973 and came back for the big reunion in the ‘90s. Tonight, somewhere in the sky, there’s one more star with a killer guitar solo.

Kelly Clarkson might be America’s sweetheart, but even sweethearts crash. Sources say she’s exhausted trying to do it all: TV host, mom, singer, professional overachiever. She’s crying nonstop, worried she’s let fans down, and now she’s trying to make a comeback in music. But apparently, it’s not going the way she hoped. Friends say she’s on the verge of an emotional breakdown. Kelly, honey, take a nap. You’ve earned it. The world can wait a minute.

The List for Thursday, March 19th 2026

Welcome to The List…

Hollywood’s biggest fear is officially here. Dead actors… still booking roles. A new movie is using A.I. to bring Val Kilmer back. Yeah. From the grave… straight to the premiere. The director says Val wanted this. His family signed off too. Which is great… until your Netflix suggestions start haunting you. Somewhere an Oscar just felt uncomfortable.

-----

Tom Brady says he wears a disguise to his kids’ games. Not kidding. Hoodie. Hat. Full undercover quarterback mode. Apparently the kids don’t want attention on them because… you know… their dad is TOM BRADY. Imagine trying to sneak into a gym when you’re built like a superhero statue. Sir… we still know it’s you.

-----

Rumor is Keith Urban might be going through a midlife crisis after the split. Sources say he wants to live the single life again. Totally different person now. Which honestly just sounds like every guy who suddenly discovers energy drinks and fitted jeans. Next step is obvious. Corvette. New Balance. Bluetooth headset.

-----

Kenny Chesney just launched his own record label. Big move. Real boss energy. It’s named after his boat… because of course it is. And the first artist he signed…drumroll… Kenny Chesney. Man skipped the middleman and hired himself. HR meeting must be real smooth.
