Welcome to The List,

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and Luke Bryan says even though no one in his family has had to deal with it, he has had friends in Georgia and Nashville that have.  The big things that he notices at his shows are the fans that are fighting it  “The fans at my concerts that have the signs up, you know, they have a pink sign, ‘LAST CHEMO TREATMENT TODAY. BEATING CANCER,’ and that always is something that, that visual is always something that I leave the show with.”

Movie season it kicking off in October it seems…with The Many Saints of Newark and The Addams Family 2 that starts streaming today…Charlize Theron plays Morticia Adams and says the movie is for the whole family “Moms and Dads will enjoy it just as much as the kids.  I love all the little inside jokes for the adults in this. I mean the movie is really funny, but it’s a fun family experience to go and share and I think that’s what sets this apart,  It’s so exciting.”

The List for Wednesday, December 31st 2025

Welcome to The List,

Former Beverly Hills, 90210 star Ian Ziering is being sued over a wild 2023 New Year’s Eve incident on Hollywood Boulevard involving motorcycle riders. A plaintiff claims Ziering got out of his car and shoved him, sparking a larger fight and injuries. Ziering says he was checking damage after being approached aggressively and insists it was self-defense. Now the whole thing is headed to court. Hollywood never disappoints.

Taylor Swift just made Christmas a whole lot better for Kansas City Chiefs employees. During a holiday game at Arrowhead Stadium, Taylor surprised staff with cash gifts. One worker shared that Taylor handed her $600 personally, leaving her emotional and overwhelmed. Santa wears red, apparently with lipstick.

-----

Jimmy Kimmel is allegedly planning to end his ABC late-night run in May 2027, and insiders say he wants Donald Trump as his final guest. The thinking is one last headline, one last laugh, and the ultimate mic drop. With audiences shifting to streaming and ratings changing, sources say internally this is being called Jimmy’s “goodbye year.”

-----

Riley Green told CMT he thinks old-school politeness still matters and too many people have forgotten that. He says simple things go a long way, and he’s not wrong. In a world of comment sections and hot takes, Riley just wants people to act right. Country manners never go out of style.
