The List for Wednesday, October 26th 2022

Welcome to The List,

The scariest horror movie villains of all time were calculated using the average number of kills and jump scares.  The top three are Michael Myers, the Werewolf from “An American Werewolf in London”, and the creature from “The Grudge”….So uncle George from Pennsylvania didn’t make the list again this year.  But you’ll see him for Thanksgiving.

The actors on “Avatar: The Way of Water”, worked with specialists to learn how to hold their breath for underwater scenes.  Zoe Saldana got to the point where she could hold hers for almost five minutes.  Sigourney Weaver did six and a half minutes . . . and Kate Winslet, always the overachiever, went SEVEN minutes without taking a breath…meanwhile Tom Cruise is over here like ‘Hold  my beer”…

Scotty McCreery’s wife Gabi gave birth to their first child on Monday.  It’s a boy named Merrick Avery McCreery.  Scotty posted pics and wrote, “Next to his mother, he is the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen.  Gabi was a total rock star during Avery’s birth.  I could not be more proud of her.”

Chase Bryant married model Selena Weber in a hilltop ceremony in Texas on Saturday.  The venue overlooked 30 miles of Texas Hill County.  For Selena’s walk down the aisle, they had a string quartet perform “Can’t Help Falling in Love” by Elvis Presley play.

The List for Friday, December 26th 2025

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.

The List for Tuesday, December 23rd 2025

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.
