The good news: Tommy Wirkola’s holiday-themed action-thriller Violent Night scared up a solid $13.3 million in its box debut, while holdover Black Panther: Wakanda Forever continued to be a crowd-pleaser in topping the chart with $17.6 million. Wakanda Forever has now earned an impressive $394 million domestically. Before I get a chance to see this movie It’ll be on Disney+…

Thomas Rhett says since he’s had kids…he’s had to learn a new skill.. ’compartmentalization’ “Next year, I think I’m gonna at least try to compartmentalize all my different job flows. So like, if we’re gonna write, let’s just write. If we’re gonna play shows, let’s make sure that the show is the focus. And if we’re gonna be dad, let’s make sure that being dad is the focus, and not try to do it all at the same time. I think that’s the biggest thing I learned this year.”

Toby Keith is finally speaking out about his cancer battle, addressing it for the first time since his June 2022 reveal to fans.“I’m thinking about getting back into fighting shape. I need a little bit of time to ah, rest up, heal up. It’s pretty debilitating to have to go through all that. As long as everything stays hunky dory then, we’ll look at something good in the future.” Keith had been diagnosed with the disease in the Fall of 2021 and has been quiet about it since. But as PEOPLE shares, Keith will sit for an upcoming interview with CMT Hot 20 Countdown and discuss his optimism about the future.

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.
