Jeremy Renner broke over 30 bones in that snowplow accident on New Year’s Day. He shared a photo of himself receiving medical attention to his legs. He received comments from some of his Marvel costars. Chris Hemsworth said, quote, “You’re a champion mate! We love you.” And Chris Evans commented, quote, “That’s one tough dude. Has anyone even checked on the snowcat???

Blake Shelton Admits that he is just a “goofy” step-father. “I don’t think they’ve ever seen me be serious. Maybe a handful of times. I want to be a positive influence, but I also want to be a lot of fun. That’s the kind of parent I want to be.”Even though he says he’s pretty goofy.. They have a mom and a dad and now they have a Blake and I want that to be fun for them.

Last week Zach Bryan promised he’d release his song “Dawns” if the Philadelphia Eagles beat the New York Giants on Saturday. Boy did they. The Eagles trounced them 38 to 7 . . . and Zach hit up Twitter soon after. Quote, “‘Dawns’ will now be released at midnight on [January] 27th. Thanks for pulling through, boys.”

Alec Baldwin will continue starring in “Rust”. An attorney for the film says the set will now have, quote, “on-set safety supervisors and union crew members and will bar any use of working weapons or any ammunition.” And Cobra Kai fans! “Cobra Kai” will come to an end after its upcoming, sixth season on Netflix. There’s no premiere date yet. Meanwhile, CBS is canceling “NCIS: Los Angeles” in May, after 14th seasons.

Justin Moore recently shared how a couple of his daughters are doing in school, but we also wondered how his son South, who is his youngest, is doing. But he seems to be doing good. He’s writin’ his name, and he seems to be enjoying school, which I was concerned about, cause he’s used to hangin’ out with me all day every day when I’m home. But he’s done really good. I think it was harder on me initially than it was him, quite frankly.” His son just turned 5 years old before going into kindergarten.

Welcome to The List,
Nicole Kidman is reportedly hitting the reset button on her love life. Insiders say she’s done with high-profile relationships and now wants something quieter, calmer, and way less tabloid-friendly. Along with that, she’s allegedly planning a full image refresh new look, possible cosmetic tweaks, the whole “new chapter” energy.

Adam Sanders was crowned the very first winner of The Road during the finale at the legendary Ryman Auditorium. And right after the big win, Keith Urban leaned in and whispered something Sanders says he’ll never forget: “You played this thing like a F’n fiddle.” Sanders beat out Cassidy Daniels and Channing Wilson and walked away with prize money, a record deal, a Stagecoach main-stage slot, and a Keith Urban quote that belongs in a frame.

Kate Gosselin is officially walking again just 82 days after a serious leg injury. She shared the update on TikTok, saying she’s easing back in stages 25 percent, then 50, then 100. She says it’s a huge step toward recovery and she’s excited. Which is great, because raising eight kids feels like a full-contact sport.

And finally… Tyler Farr admitted to one of the most country stories ever told. He says he once went skinny dipping and peed in Jason Aldean’s pool. Yes. That happened. Farr shared it like a proud memory, though Jason’s pool filter probably needed therapy afterward. Country music friendships are built different… and apparently so are their pools.

Welcome to The List,
Keith Urban just gave fans exactly what they’ve been begging for. His brand-new live album “High And A(live)” is officially out now, recorded straight from the High And Alive World Tour. You get 11 number-one hits, plus his cover of “You Get What You Give.” This isn’t a watered-down live album either it’s basically front-row energy without paying arena prices.

Brad Paisley just confessed what every guy already knows… he’s a last-minute Christmas shopper. Brad says he ends up at the mall on December 24th, panic-buying gifts he doesn’t fully understand. He admits it’s a waste of what should be a fun day, but somehow he still does it every year. Buying mystery gifts and hoping for the best… truly a man of the people.

Cher is catching heat for allegedly lip-syncing during her Saturday Night Live performance. Some fans compared it to Ashlee Simpson’s infamous 2004 moment which feels a little dramatic. Cher is 79 years old, it’s a taped show, and lip-syncing has been happening on SNL longer than the cold open.

Jake Paul revealed he had surgery after getting knocked out by Anthony Joshua. He says doctors had to install two titanium plates on each side of his jaw and remove some teeth. Jake says the surgery went well, but he’s on liquids only for seven days. Nothing humbles a YouTuber faster than being on a smoothie diet.
