Welcome to The List,
Keanu Reeves allegedly pulled off the most Keanu thing ever secretly marrying Alexandra Grant in Europe earlier this summer. No Hollywood circus, no over-the-top spectacle, just a quiet, intimate “Matrix unplugged” kind of wedding. She’s his sounding board, he’s her biggest fan. The only shocking part is that someone this famous actually managed to keep it a secret.

So, Jackson Dean is out here talking about what his CB radio handle would be. Forget “Smokey and the Bandit,” ‘I don’t know, man.’ We came up with … one of ‘em was Peacock, somebody else had another one, and then mine was White Tiger. I have this giant blanket with a Siberian tiger on it that I’ve been sleepin’ on for the last four years, and they’re like, ‘There you go, White Tiger.’ So, I’m the White Tiger.”

Robert Redford passed away at 89 and, in true Redford style, chose a private funeral. No Hollywood lights, no fanfare just peace at Sundance, the place he considered home. A source says it’s exactly who he was: no noise, no show, just authenticity. It’s rare in Hollywood that a star gets to exit the stage exactly the way they wanted.

Before Riley Green was crooning hits, he was competing on the CMT reality show Redneck Island back in 2016. And get this he and his partner actually won the whole thing, splitting a cool $100K. From redneck games to country fame? Now that’s what you call a the most profitable mud fight in TV history.

Welcome to The List,
We start today with sad news from Hollywood. Robert Redford the iconic actor, director, and the man who gave us Sundance has died at the age of 89. A statement says he passed away at his beloved home in Utah, surrounded by family. Redford wasn’t just a movie star, he was a storyteller, an activist, and one of the last true legends of cinema. He will be deeply missed.

So rumor has it Carrie Underwood wants to dust off her acting chops and head back to Hollywood. But here’s the kicker: insiders say it’s less about Oscars and more about one-upping Taylor Swift. Supposedly Carrie wants the satisfaction of doing what Taylor hasn’t— a serious acting role. Their rivalry? Oh, it’s alive and well. Sounds like Hollywood could get a new sequel: “Country Queens: The Petty Years.”

Apparently, Travis Kelce is feeling the heat not just from the defensive line, but from dating Taylor Swift. Sources say every fumble isn’t just a football oops, it’s a global headline. And that pressure’s starting to get to him. Taylor’s worried, she loves him, but even she sees the toll. So, the big question: is the cookie starting to crumble… or are they just baking under the spotlight?

Over the weekend, video popped up of Zach Bryan literally climbing a fence… not to save a cat… but to get to country singer Gavin Adcock. Looked more like a “hold my beer” moment than a good decision. Gavin responded saying Zach was “absolutely wasted” and he had a show to do, plus, “everyone knows how that would’ve ended.” Translation: Zach, buddy, that was not your highlight reel.
