Welcome to The List,
If you follow Walker Hayes on his socials, then you know he and his family are very active…and the DANCE moves? Well, it takes a lot of patients from his teacher…”Lela and I just did that for fun. She loves it, she loves to dance. She teaches me, she’s very patient with me, it takes me longer to learn them and she learns them so fast.” I think they’re up to three dances now. I’m still trying to learn the first one.

Seth MacFarlane talks to Kelly Clarkson about his upcoming television series based on his movie, ‘Ted’. I loved the movies, so what got him to do a TV show? “Well, it helped that the studio asked, it’s a prequel and takes place in 1993. So, we’re kinda digging back into the pop culture of that era.” Even though no premier date has been announced it looks like it will be picked up by the Peacock streaming network.

Carrie Underwood is doing a one-off next THURSDAY from the historic Bell Tower in Nashville. It’s to celebrate the release of her new album, “Denim & Rhinestones”, which drops the next day, on Friday. You can listen to the concert via Amazon Music on Twitch, the Amazon Music app, and Prime Video.

It’s National Donut Day – So happy hunting for the happiness that is a large, glazed object of goodness!!! Pop Culture magazine says ”Married … With Children” may be rebooted as a cartoon. None of the original cast would reprise their roles. Fox, Hulu and Peacock are reportedly interested in hearing more about the reboot.

This is the most excited you will EVER see Luke Bryan He shared a video of himself moments after catching an 11.6 pound bass. It’s his lifelong dream to catch a 10-pounder, so this probably ranks up there with the birth of his kids.

A change.org is at it again…..THIS time it’s a petition has been started to get Johnny Depp’s lawyer, Camille Vasquez, to replace Amber Heard in ”Aquaman 2”. The petition reads, “Although Amber is a ‘credible’ actor and has actually demonstrated it on many occasions, not just in films or ‘perhaps’ on the stand. If Camille is half the actor she is as a lawyer this will be an absolute blockbuster of a film.” Please someone stop this ride…I want off….

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.

Taylor Swift reportedly used to be hesitant about dating athletes until Travis Kelce showed up. A source says her mom encouraged her to give Travis a chance, and now Taylor’s outlook has completely changed. Not only that, insiders claim the relationship has boosted the Chiefs’ global presence. Turns out the tight end also unlocked international brand expansion.

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. Which explains why she can win everything, host award shows, and still sound like the most normal human in Nashville.

Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban are reportedly still neighbors in Nashville as they focus on co-parenting their daughters. Nicole stays in the family home, Keith lives nearby, and they’re even spotted shopping at the same stores…just separately. A source says their dedication to the kids is unwavering. Awkward? Maybe.

Welcome to The List,
Sad news from the NASCAR world. Greg Biffle, one of NASCAR’s 75 Greatest Drivers, has died at age 55 in a plane crash in North Carolina. Authorities say seven people were killed, including Biffle, his wife Cristina, and their two children. Beyond his racing success, Biffle was widely praised for his humanitarian work, especially helping communities after Hurricane Helene. The racing world is mourning a champion on and off the track.

Tom Cruise is allegedly on a long, carefully planned mission to become Sir Tom Cruise. A source says this has been years in the making hosting events, shaking hands, embedding himself deep in the British film world. Apparently he knows exactly how the system works and he’s been playing the long game. At this point, don’t be shocked if the next Mission: Impossible ends with him bowing politely and accepting a sword tap on each shoulder.

Miranda Lambert is developing a new TV series for Hulu inspired by her music and real-life friendships. The show centers on a messy female friendship, an escape from an abusive marriage, and a fresh start in a small Texas town that turns out to be full of secrets. So basically heartbreak, healing, strong women, and Texas drama which is already Miranda’s brand. Country music meets prestige TV.

Jon Pardi says Christmas music is what keeps his household sane. He’s got two little girls with very big emotions, so songs like Frosty the Snowman and Rudolph are on constant rotation. Forget parenting books the real hack is letting a cartoon reindeer handle crowd control..
