Welcome to The List,
Mother’s Day is this Sunday….we’re all grateful for the things we learned from her…Ingrid Andress says she Inherited Her Mother’s Work Ethic … “My mom has an incredible work ethic, and she raised five kids. And I definitely use that to this day. I don’t have kids, but I feel like the music industry is difficult and takes a lot of work, and she definitely inspired me to work really hard.”

Amber Heard continued her testimony about Johnny Depp’s alleged abuse yesterday, while Johnny’s people say she’s giving the performance of her life. The trial is on recess until May 16th.

Will Smith is a guest star on an upcoming episode of David Letterman’s Netflix talk show, “My Next Guest Needs No Introduction”. But it was recorded BEFORE the Oscars, so there will be no mention of THE SLAP….so I guess Letterman won’t be wearing a catcher’s mask…

Shania Twain says she’s Is Proud To Be A Parent … “It’s such a joy to be a parent. So, I relate to all the mums out there who are getting all their love and appreciation from their kids, and I hope, when you’re a kid, a child of somebody, show your mum you love her, because it means everything.” Celebrate mom this Sunday because she deserves it.

The premiere for “Top Gun: Maverick” was shown on board the U.S.S. Midway an Aircraft Carrier in San Diego…Tom Cruise arrived by Flying himself in on a helicopter and getting out like a sharped dressed man…as Tom Cruise would do. Top Gun: Maverick (which also stars Jon Hamm, Jennifer Connelly, and Miles Teller) arrives in U.S. theaters on May 27.

Blake Shelton and Carson Daly are creating a new game show for the USA Network called ”Barmageddon.” Nikki Bella will host the show from Blake’s Nashville bar. Celebrities will play games against one another at the bar. And Dolly Parton tells Billboard magazine that she wants Mick Jagger and the Rolling Stones to be her backing band if she records a rock album. I might get some different rock bands, some of the classic bands, to back me on some of the songs I do and then do two or three or four originals.

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.
