Welcome to The List,
If you ever find yourself in Hollywood…maybe pick up an autograph if your lucky? Well, there are a few celebrities that simply refuse to give them up!! Star Treks Captain Kirk William Shatner only does them at conventions, Paul McCarney says he’d rather have a conversation with a fan and Steve Martin we’re not sure what the policy is NOW but back in the 80’s he used to hand out pre-signed cards that said, “This certifies that you have had a personal encounter with me, and you found me warm, polite, intelligent, and funny.”

If you’re looking for something REALLY scary to watch this Halloween, a website called StudyFinds claims to have found the five SCARIEST movies. What they came up with were.. It Follows, The Shining, Paranormal Activity, Halloween (the original) and at number one…The Exorcist….you’re welcome.

Hardy is coming out with a second album called “The Mockingbird & the Crow” on January 20th. But to hold you over until then, he released THREE new songs. They’re called “Here Lies Country Music”, “Truck Bed”, and “The Mockingbird & the Crow”.

The debut episode of Netflix’s new horror series “The Midnight Club” was one for the record books. Literally. It set the Guinness World Record for the most JUMP SCARES in a premiere episode. There were 21. Which is interesting, because the show’s co-creator Mike Flanagan HATES jump scares. He says, “I thought, ‘We’re going to do all of them at once, and then if we do it right, a jump scare will be rendered meaningless for the rest of the series.’ but that didn’t happen. They were like, ‘Great! More [scares]!'”

Scotty McCreery was honored with the Randy Owen Angels Among Us award from St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. The award recognizes country artists who are committed to their cause. Past recipients include Brad Paisley, Darius Rucker, and Florida Georgia Line.

Luke Bryan and Peyton Manning are co-hosting the “CMT Awards” on November 9th. In a new video, they decided to have a boot camp to prepare. This included vocal exercises, learning how to dress like a country star, and practicing different football passes for handing out the awards.

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.
