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.
