Welcome to The List,
After creating his publishing company ‘Verse 2’ Kane Brown was eager to get his first writer on board so they could get busy writing hits. THAT writer was Levon Gray and there first collaboration turned out a top 5 hit for Kane and Levon “One Mississippi” “This song is about a relationship. I don’t know everybody’s had where you make up and you break up and you just keep running into each other and then something about that spark in the relationship gets y’all back together and may fall apart again, but he tried it twice at least.”

You may have heard by now but OK! magazine reports Sam Hunt’s pregnant wife, Hannah Lee Fowler, is divorcing him. She accuses him of adultery. Her divorce papers read: “The husband is guilty of such cruel and inhuman treatment or conduct toward the spouse as renders cohabitation unsafe or improper.” Hannah is due to have her baby in May. MAN! And he thought ‘Breaking Up In The 90’s’ was hard…well, I guess his ‘Kinfolks’ will have to ‘Leave The Night On’ for the ‘House Party’…. Yeah, there’s no high road here from me….

MORGAN WALLEN’s “Sand in My Boots” is the Number One song in country radio, and he’s kinda happy about it. He hit up Instagram to thank the best fans in the world. That’s you. And, the brilliant people who play the song. That’s me. “Thank you to country radio for jumping aboard with this song and for making it possible for a lot of people to hear, some who wouldn’t have heard it otherwise. I just wanted to say thank you guys, it means a lot to me.”

Looks like we are now at that point in time where VHS tapes are considered ancient relics that sell for tens of thousands of dollars. A first print of 1984’s “The Terminator” sold for $32,500 at a Comic Connect online auction. The tape was in ALMOST perfect condition . . . it received a 9 out of 10 for its preservation and a 7 out of 10 for the tape’s corners and edges. An executive at Comic Connect said the tape sold in three days, adding that there’s been an increase in VHS purchases over the past few years.

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.

Welcome to The List,
Mike Tyson says he’s open to a rematch with Jake Paul after Jake’s recent loss to Anthony Joshua. Tyson claims this time he’s cracked the code on training, saying he went too hard before and “left most of the fight in the gym.” RadarOnline says Mike thinks a smarter camp would change everything. Which is wild, because the man is still Mike Tyson. If this happens, somebody hide the ear protection… literally.

Lainey Wilson told CMT she stays grounded by remembering where she came from. She said it’s about planting your feet, knowing who you are, standing up for what you believe in, and keeping your people close.
