Welcome to The List,

Brought to you by The Zearing Bar, right down on main street in Zearing. Where Friends and neighbors meet…

Lainey Wilson’s southern twang is so strong, it could strip paint off a barn. She says during a recent audition, the casting people asked her to “lose the accent.” And she goes, “I’ll need a professional speech therapist because this voice ain’t going anywhere.” Luckily, most roles don’t care. Still, I’d pay good money to hear Lainey Wilson try to sound like she’s from New Jersey.

Taylor Swift might be getting her man full-time! Word is Travis Kelce is planning to retire from football after this season to start a family with Taylor. Sources say he’s ready to hang up the helmet, even though he’s got options in TV and plenty in life. So, he’s going from NFL Sundays to diaper duty Mondays.

Zach Top and Shaboozey are up for CMA New Artist of the Year again. Yep, you can apparently be “new” twice, as long as you don’t actually win anything the first time. So congratulations to both of them for being brand-new… two years in a row.

Pro wrestling legend Jerry “The King” Lawler is recovering after suffering a stroke. The guy’s a Hall of Famer, he’s wrestled everybody from Hulk Hogan to Andy Kaufman, and he’ll be turning 76 in November. Wishing The King nothing but health as he keeps fighting.

The List for Thursday, December 4th 2025

Welcome to The List,

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are allegedly hitting a rough patch not over romance, but over the prenup. An insider claims the financial talks are “cold-hearted,” mostly because their bank accounts look like they’re from two different planets. Travis wants to play another season or two and eventually jump into broadcasting, and apparently Taylor’s not thrilled with that plan. The source says there is supposed to be a wedding this offseason… but right now the negotiations look less like love and more like Shark Tank.

Willie Nelson is fed up with the internet declaring him dead every other week and he finally said something. He posted a photo of himself snoozing on a couch with the caption, “If you believe those A.I. death stories one more time.” For months, fake AI posts claimed he collapsed, was hospitalized, or worse. None of it true. Willie’s still here, still laughing, still alive… and more coherent than some of the people posting about him.

-----

Diddy allegedly thinks someone in his own family sold him out after 50 Cent got access to leaked footage for the Netflix documentary ‘The Reckoning’. The footage shows him distressed on a phone call and Diddy is reportedly determined to figure out who leaked it. He believes only family had access to something that sensitive. And after watching parts of the doc myself? Yeah… “eye-opening” is putting it lightly. This story gets messier by the hour.

-----

Luke Combs told ESPN he wants to headline the Super Bowl halftime show and watch his Carolina Panthers win that same game. Bold. Very bold. He said he grew up in Charlotte when the Panthers became a team, so it’s “in his blood.” Look, we love the confidence but asking for a halftime slot and a Panthers Super Bowl victory is what scientists call “a miracle.”
