The List for Monday, December 29th 2025

Welcome to The List,

Kelly Clarkson’s friends are reportedly worried she’s doing way too much. Surprise to everyone, she’s apparently signed on for another season of The Voice. An insider says between her talk show, Vegas residency, multiple homes in New York, Montana, and L.A., plus raising kids, Kelly is running on fumes. She’s financially fine, but she keeps saying yes because the iron is hot. At some point you have to rest, but good luck convincing Kelly Clarkson to slow down.

Brantley Gilbert says New Year’s Eve just reminds him he’s getting older, and he has plans especially with his birthday coming up in January. But this year, he’s excited. He’s heading to Iowa to ring in the New Year deer hunting with Lee and Tiffany LaKosky. No parties, no champagne, just the woods and a rifle. Honestly, that sounds way more peaceful than Times Square.

Zach Top admits he misses the slow, predictable rhythm of farm life. He says things used to move slower, and now he wakes up in a different town every day. Fame is great, but there’s something about knowing exactly where you’ll sleep at night. Turns out success still comes with homesickness.

And here we go again. Jennifer Lopez is allegedly still not over Ben Affleck. An insider says she jokes about the divorce publicly and pretends she’s moved on, but behind the scenes she’s still finding ways to stay connected. According to the source, she’s nowhere near letting him go. At this point, Ben is less an ex and more a recurring series.

The List for Monday, May 4th 2026

Welcome to The List,

Darth Vader just Force-choked his way to the top spot. It’s Star Wars Day, and a new list crowned him number one. Han Solo slides into second, Leia takes third, rebellion stays strong. Meanwhile, Yoda’s somewhere judging your life choices in silence. May the Fourth be with your bad decisions today.

-----

Charlize Theron just laid down the ultimate parenting reality check. She says her daughters will earn their own money, no shortcuts. And their first cars? Old-school Datsuns, because crashes are coming. Which is bold, considering Datsun hasn’t been a thing in years. Nothing builds character like a car you can’t Google.

-----

Tucker Wetmore just had a full “main character” moment overseas. He wins New Male Artist of the Year at the ACM Awards. Then, his mom walks onstage in London with the trophy. Thomas Rhett pops up on video like it’s a country music Avengers scene. Nothing says you made it like mom showing up internationally.

-----

Somewhere out there, confidence is doing a little too much. A woman says she’s marrying Riley Green, no doubts at all. Claims they met on Facebook and even talked on the phone. Yeah… so has half the internet and a guy named “Steve.” Love is blind, but this one might need Wi-Fi verification.
