Welcome to The List,
Ella Langley says her manager had to cut off her spending… because she dropped two hundred bucks at a candle store. Two. Hundred. Dollars. Parade Magazine says he told her, “No more splurge purchasing, you’re done.” Ella says she likes sweet scents, clean scents, eucalyptus in the bathroom, all the Zen she can cram into a tour schedule. If $200 in candles is the wildest thing she’s doing, let the woman aromatherapy her way to peace.

Because Hollywood loves nostalgia and nightmares, we now have two Wizard of Oz horror movies on the way. One is called Gale: Yellow Brick Road, which sounds like someone finally snapped on that stroll. The other is Dorothy: The Haunting of Oz, which I assume features fewer singing munchkins and more things crawling out of cornfields. Wicked reboot? Nah. Dorothy’s got demons now.

It’s the holiday season, which means the end-of-year lists are rolling in… and the first one is spicy. A new poll of “cringe celebrities” includes Katy Perry, Jared Leto, and yes Taylor Swift. That sound you hear is Swifties sharpening their pitchforks. Katy, Jared, Taylor… welcome to the Thirsty-Lights Hall of Shame, population: whoever the internet feels like roasting this week.

Riley Green just launched his own bourbon called Duck Club Bourbon, inspired by the great outdoors. It’s meant for folks who feel at home in the wild or at least want to pretend they do on Instagram. Riley calls it a toast to his Southern roots. If it doesn’t come with a camouflage koozie and a mud-splatter filter, I’ll be shocked.
