Brad Paisley is MORE than a country music superstar… tells People magazine that he performed surgery on his son’s puffer fish. “He read that sometimes you have to trim their beaks because their teeth get too long. He put him in a bucket, he started to drift and go sideways, I grabbed him, clipped his beak and thought I killed him — but he made it! I can add ‘Fish Surgeon’ to my resume now.” Calling Doctor Paisley!!

The NY Post says people think ”Captain America” Chris Evans is dating Selena Gomez. Gomez was spotted at Saturday Night Live last week wearing the same exact sweater that Chris wears in the movie ”Knives Out”. The white knit sweater costs $48 and is currently sold out on the Internet. Glad I didn’t dress up as the Tiger King on Halloween….No offense Joe, but not interested…

Welcome to The List,
Will there be another Austin Powers? Rumors say Mike Myers is turning down massive offers to bring the franchise back. Sources claim he does not need the money, already made tens of millions, and still cashes in every Halloween. Apparently he is focused on dad life instead of shagadelic life. So no, baby… he is not desperate.

Cody Johnson just confirmed he and Luke Combs finally cut a song together. Fans have been waiting years for this bromance to hit the studio. They toured Australia and New Zealand together, and now the friendship is officially on vinyl. And that is not all. Cody also says there is a track with Brothers Osborne on the new album. That record is about to be stacked.

Ella Langley just hit number one on the all-genre Hot 100 with “Choosin’ Texas.”
That puts her in elite company with legends like Dolly Parton, Carrie Underwood, Taylor Swift, Kacey Musgraves, Jeannie C. Riley, and Beyoncé. She is also reportedly the first female artist to hold number one on Hot Country Songs, Country Airplay, and the Hot 100 at the same time. Released October 7th and it has been sprinting ever since. That is not just a hit. That is a takeover.

And speaking of Taylor Swift, betting sites say there is a 50 percent chance her childhood friend Abigail Anderson is Maid of Honor. They also give a 25 percent chance that Vera Wang designs the dress. We are now gambling on bridal parties. This wedding might need its own sportsbook. Only in 2026, folks.
