The List for Tuesday, October 17th 2023

Welcome to The List,

Well, can’t wait for this one to hit theaters…Chuck Norris can cure a zombie by biting it.  I don’t know if that was ever an official Chuck Norris Fact, but it might be soon.  Because someone was FINALLY smart enough to put Chuck in a zombie movie. It’s called “Zombie Plane”, and Chuck will actually be playing HIMSELF.  So will Vanilla Ice. In the movie, the government has trained celebrities to be undercover agents . . . which explains Vanilla Ice being able to kick zombie butt.  Obviously, there was never any doubt about Chuck. There’s no word when we’ll be able to bask in the glow of its cinematic brilliance.

Some people want a fast car…others a nice new home…Chris Janson? Well, he’s kind of a bird of a different feather…he tells CMT that HIS dream is to own a civil war cannon!  In fact he’s actively looking for one.  Saying “I don’t know what I’ll do with one if I get it…I just know I want one.”

Flag football will be an Olympic sport at the 2028 games in Los Angeles.  There will be men’s and women’s divisions.  Squash is also being added, while cricket, lacrosse, baseball, and softball will make their returns.

“Top Gun” is now a reality show.  “Top Gun: The Next Generation” is coming to Nat Geo, but a premiere date hasn’t been announced yet. The show will follow Navy student pilots “every step of the way” during training, as they embark on, quote, “some of the most challenging flight tests possible, including landing on an aircraft carrier at sea.” This will reportedly be the first time this level of access has been given to the pilot training program.

Blake Shelton assisted his wife Gwen Stefani in collecting items from their farm to decorate their porch for fall.  They shared a video of them using white homegrown pumpkins, corn stalks, flowers, and leaves. Blake also said hi to Gwen’s fellow “The Voice” coaches.  Quote, “Niall [Horan], Reba [McEntire], and John [Legend], y’all need to come out here and do some country stuff . . . Reba!”

Dolly Parton is headlining this year’s Dallas Cowboys Thanksgiving Day game Halftime Show.  They’re playing the Washington Commanders, and the festivities start at 4:30 p.m. Eastern on CBS.

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.

The List for Monday, December 22nd 2025

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.
