Welcome to The List,
Apparently, the Oakland A’s are planning a move to Las Vegas and Tom Hanks tells People magazine that he does not want that to happen!! Saying, “We’ve lost the Raiders, the Warriors moved to San Francisco, and now they’re going to take the A’s out of Oakland. A’s fans are the greatest fans in all of baseball.” Hey Tom There’s, no crying in Baseball!!

Jay DeMarcus tells People magazine that he is open to a Rascal Flatts reunion. “I would want to say never say never. [But] we’re in such different places right now and don’t really communicate on a consistent basis. I think the further we get away from it the harder it is to put it back together.”

We all start somewhere, right? Lainey Wilson tells People magazine that she started out as a Hannah Montana impersonator. “I would do three or four events a weekend—birthday parties, fairs, festivals, you name it. It was one of the most rewarding moments I’ve ever had in my life,”.

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.

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.
