Welcome to The List,

Mariah Carey’s been officially “unthawed,” which means Bunnie Xo is already in full Christmas chaos mode. She said, “I’m going Christmas shopping, my husband’s not here to stop me, and the tree’s going up today.” So, Jelly Roll’s credit card is about to experience a financial frostbite of its own.

Apparently, Keith Urban’s had enough of Nicole Kidman swooning over her co-stars. A source says he got “tired of hearing about her well “physical reawakening” which sounds like a Lifetime movie nobody asked for. Rumor is, he’s now living his own life... probably somewhere quiet, with zero Oscar winners in sight.

Diddy’s trading bling for bleach at Fort Dix in New Jersey, working in the prison laundry room. Federal prosecutors once said he couldn’t even charge his own phone now he’s folding socks for people who can. Talk about going from “Can’t Stop, Won’t Stop” to “Wash, Rinse, Repeat.”

Michael Jackson moonwalked his way to another posthumous victory, topping the 2025 highest-paid dead celebrity list with $105 million. Dr. Seuss came in second with $85 million proving even in the afterlife, rhymes and royalties pay. Meanwhile, Pink Floyd’s late members still cashing in. That’s one heck of a reunion tour.

Welcome to The List,

Will Smith says he once had to “emergency check out” of a London hotel because of a ghost that used the bathroom and deleted messages off his friend’s phone. It happened at The Lanesborough, so of course the ghost had an accent. I don’t know what’s scarier  the haunting or realizing even the afterlife gets better room service than we do.

Miranda Lambert just told Joe Rogan the secret to her tour life no diva demands, no imported water. Just Cheetos and Tito’s. That’s it. The woman’s living proof that crunchy snacks and vodka are the only two food groups that really matter. Add a cheese tray, and she’s basically Martha Stewart in boots.

-----

“Yellowstone” creator Taylor Sheridan is making a live-action Call of Duty movie. Which means, finally, your boyfriend can claim “I’m watching a Taylor Sheridan project” instead of “I’m just gaming.” Expect cowboys, explosions, and probably Kevin Costner in a camo hat somewhere.

People Magazine crowned Riley Green as 2025’s Sexiest Country Star. Translation: rugged beard, tight jeans, and just enough sweat to make small towns swoon. The full Sexiest Man Alive issue drops November 3rd but Country already won that round.

Welcome to The List,

Tom Cruise is apparently blaming Ana de Armas for their breakup. Sources say he claims she “wasn’t up to his standards.” Yeah, because nothing says “relationship expert” like the guy who jumped on Oprah’s couch. Tom’s allegedly searching for someone with “more life experience.” Translation: someone who can handle his Mission: Impossible ego.

-----

Kenny Chesney’s going back to The Sphere next year, and he says half the show will be totally different. Which means, good luck trying to sing along if you thought you knew the setlist. He’s bringing back songs he hasn’t played in years. Basically, get ready to scream, “Ohhh yeah, I forgot about that one!”

-----

Eddie Murphy’s back in pink! He’s playing Inspector Clouseau in a new Pink Panther movie about a Louvre robbery. Perfect timing since real French cops just arrested suspects from an actual Louvre heist. So now the line between fiction and “oops, this really happened” is thinner than Clouseau’s mustache.

Baseball fans got their money’s worth Monday. The World Series went 18 innings only the second time in history and Brad Paisley sang before both marathon games. At this point, even Brad’s probably thinking, “Y’all sure this thing’s not still going?”
