Welcome to The List,
What do you do when you have more money than you know what to do with…well, if you’re Kim Kardashian you hire a pianist to wake up your kids every morning with Christmas songs. So, of course, people had to share their thoughts. Here are some of the comments online: Amanda Hirsch from the “Not Skinny But Not Fat” podcast posted, quote, “I guess rich people don’t use Spotify,” with a video of herself playing a toy piano. Then someone commented, quote, “And this is why she needs that [$200,000 a month] child support.”

Luke Bryan recently told a great behind-the-scenes story from “American Idol”. He was on the set Face Timing with his 14-year-son “Bo” when Katy Perry made the mistake of eavesdropping. Here’s Luke talking about it, “So [Bo] goes, ‘Dad, do we have any doe pee around here?’ Which is doe urine. [Katy] was like, ‘Did your son just ask you, do you have any dope around the house?’ “I said, ‘Katy, he’s asking for doe pee,’ and she goes, ‘like urine from an animal?’ I was like, ‘yes, that’s what we use to bring the big bucks in.’ I feel sorry for her and Lionel [Richie] and the country education that they have to get from me.”

Walt Disney World employees banded together to march for fair wages on Wednesday. The large group, many of whom were still dressed in costumes. Disney has not publicly commented on the Wednesday rally. The status of negotiations remains unclear at this time.

Welcome to The List,
Is Tom Bergeron coming back to Dancing with the Stars? Naughty But Nice says producers are seriously considering it. After his recent return, insiders say the crowd went nuts, ratings spiked, and backstage felt like the glory days. Now they want him to cross over from judge to contestant. One source said Tom didn’t just come back, he stole the show. And now they want him to steal the Mirrorball. Fired. Rehired. Rebranded. That’s a glow-up.

Thanks to Zootopia 2, the Indonesian pit viper is suddenly a trendy pet in China. Small issue though. It’s highly venomous. Chinese state media is now begging people to stop buying them. Because nothing says “bad idea” like letting a children’s movie convince you to bring home a snake that can medically ruin your week. Darwinism, at it’s finest….

Jelly Roll told Joe Rogan something wild. He says he thought he was colorblind for over twenty years. He could see basic shades but didn’t realize how colorful the world actually was. After losing weight and cutting out sugar, something changed. The moment it hit him was when he noticed a “new” purple tulip in his yard. His wife laughed and said it had been there for two years…HD vision unlocked.

Morgan Wallen told Country Now that becoming a dad completely changed his mindset. He admitted there was a time when he didn’t care who his actions affected. But once his son was born, he started thinking about the world differently and who he spends time with. That’ll do it. Nothing grows you up faster than realizing someone’s watching everything you do….and bolting down a few chairs…
