Welcome to The List,
If you ask someone to name a celebrity with above-average brain power… most people don’t immediately yell “KIM KARDASHIAN.” And after the latest episode of The Kardashians, the bar didn’t get any higher. Her doctor showed her brain scans with “holes,” meaning low activity in the frontal lobe basically the command center for stress and decision-making. He said it’s not deadly, just not ideal for someone juggling law school, a beauty empire, and Kanye West. Kim refused to accept the results like a kid refusing broccoli.

Ella Langley is still celebrating her triple CMA win with Riley Green, but fans only care about one thing: who she’s dating. The rumor mill has moved off Riley and onto John Sansone from Farmer Wants a Wife. He’s a sixth-generation farmer turned reality star who just broke up with his TV girlfriend. The kicker? He posted pics with Ella’s dog Crue… and she posted a video of them shooting together. Country music fans connect dots quicker than the FBI and right now they’re convinced Ella’s planting new crops.

Keith Urban is allegedly dating 25-year-old singer Karley Scott Collins who looks suspiciously like Nicole Kidman’s clone. They were spotted together at the CMAs, and she posted a birthday tribute to him online. Sources say the age gap is raising eyebrows, but hey, Keith’s living his best post-divorce life. Nashville loves drama, and this one practically came pre-gift-wrapped.

Quentin Tarantino is reportedly itching to make a Kill Bill prequel about Bill’s origin story. Because the one thing we were missing from that franchise was even more sword-swinging backstory. No casting details yet, but you know Tarantino’s already dreaming up a 14-minute monologue about childhood trauma and kung fu philosophy. Fans are already rehearsing.

Welcome to The List,
Nicole Kidman is reportedly hitting the reset button on her love life. Insiders say she’s done with high-profile relationships and now wants something quieter, calmer, and way less tabloid-friendly. Along with that, she’s allegedly planning a full image refresh new look, possible cosmetic tweaks, the whole “new chapter” energy.

Adam Sanders was crowned the very first winner of The Road during the finale at the legendary Ryman Auditorium. And right after the big win, Keith Urban leaned in and whispered something Sanders says he’ll never forget: “You played this thing like a F’n fiddle.” Sanders beat out Cassidy Daniels and Channing Wilson and walked away with prize money, a record deal, a Stagecoach main-stage slot, and a Keith Urban quote that belongs in a frame.

Kate Gosselin is officially walking again just 82 days after a serious leg injury. She shared the update on TikTok, saying she’s easing back in stages 25 percent, then 50, then 100. She says it’s a huge step toward recovery and she’s excited. Which is great, because raising eight kids feels like a full-contact sport.

And finally… Tyler Farr admitted to one of the most country stories ever told. He says he once went skinny dipping and peed in Jason Aldean’s pool. Yes. That happened. Farr shared it like a proud memory, though Jason’s pool filter probably needed therapy afterward. Country music friendships are built different… and apparently so are their pools.

Welcome to The List,
Keith Urban just gave fans exactly what they’ve been begging for. His brand-new live album “High And A(live)” is officially out now, recorded straight from the High And Alive World Tour. You get 11 number-one hits, plus his cover of “You Get What You Give.” This isn’t a watered-down live album either it’s basically front-row energy without paying arena prices.

Brad Paisley just confessed what every guy already knows… he’s a last-minute Christmas shopper. Brad says he ends up at the mall on December 24th, panic-buying gifts he doesn’t fully understand. He admits it’s a waste of what should be a fun day, but somehow he still does it every year. Buying mystery gifts and hoping for the best… truly a man of the people.

Cher is catching heat for allegedly lip-syncing during her Saturday Night Live performance. Some fans compared it to Ashlee Simpson’s infamous 2004 moment which feels a little dramatic. Cher is 79 years old, it’s a taped show, and lip-syncing has been happening on SNL longer than the cold open.

Jake Paul revealed he had surgery after getting knocked out by Anthony Joshua. He says doctors had to install two titanium plates on each side of his jaw and remove some teeth. Jake says the surgery went well, but he’s on liquids only for seven days. Nothing humbles a YouTuber faster than being on a smoothie diet.
