Who won?

Welcome to The List,
So apparently someone doesn’t like being looked at while dating a superstar NFL tight end. Taylor Swift reportedly dropped TWO million bucks on extra security so she can blend in at Travis Kelce’s games. Girl, you are literally Taylor Swift. Center of attention is kind of the job. Between the two of them, they’re spending eight million a year on security. She’s basically a small nation at this point.

Lainey Wilson proved she’s queen of the yee-haw prank. At the end of her tour, she called her openers Muscadine Bloodline on stage for their normal sweet acoustic moment. But surprise. Their stools were swapped out with two classy… toilet seats. Nothing says “good show, boys” like resting your cheeks where strangers have gone before. Country comedy gold.

Rumor mill alert. The Globe claims Keith Urban is not taking the Nicole Kidman split well. Sources say he’s exhausted, lonely, and struggling without her. They’re acting like he’s five minutes from writing breakup ballads in sweatpants, clutching a pint of ice cream. Apparently folks worry he’s emotionally fragile. Hopefully he finds peace, love, or at least a good therapist.

Jonathan Bailey has officially been crowned People Magazine’s Sexiest Man Alive. If you don’t know the name, you definitely know the face. He’s Lord Anthony in Bridgerton, he’s in the Wicked movies, and popped up in Jurassic World. The internet is already swooning. Somewhere, Chris Evans is polishing his trophy like… “remember me?”

Where would be without cash register? James & John Ritty invented the first in 1879! Which contestant was closest to the correct year? Listen and find out!

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.

It was the overtime question: What year did the Truth in Packaging Law come into existence?

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.
