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. But seeing Snow White with a sign that says “Magic doesn’t pay the bills”…might bring some people to the table.

Welcome to The List,
Will there be another Austin Powers? Rumors say Mike Myers is turning down massive offers to bring the franchise back. Sources claim he does not need the money, already made tens of millions, and still cashes in every Halloween. Apparently he is focused on dad life instead of shagadelic life. So no, baby… he is not desperate.

Cody Johnson just confirmed he and Luke Combs finally cut a song together. Fans have been waiting years for this bromance to hit the studio. They toured Australia and New Zealand together, and now the friendship is officially on vinyl. And that is not all. Cody also says there is a track with Brothers Osborne on the new album. That record is about to be stacked.

Ella Langley just hit number one on the all-genre Hot 100 with “Choosin’ Texas.”
That puts her in elite company with legends like Dolly Parton, Carrie Underwood, Taylor Swift, Kacey Musgraves, Jeannie C. Riley, and Beyoncé. She is also reportedly the first female artist to hold number one on Hot Country Songs, Country Airplay, and the Hot 100 at the same time. Released October 7th and it has been sprinting ever since. That is not just a hit. That is a takeover.

And speaking of Taylor Swift, betting sites say there is a 50 percent chance her childhood friend Abigail Anderson is Maid of Honor. They also give a 25 percent chance that Vera Wang designs the dress. We are now gambling on bridal parties. This wedding might need its own sportsbook. Only in 2026, folks.
