The List for Monday, November 27th 2023

Welcome to The List!!

We hope you had a great holiday weekend…lots of Turkey and of course FOOTBALL!! The Cowboys-Commanders game was pretty entertaining, especially the half-time show if you got to see it!  Dolly Parton wearing a Dallas Cowboys cheerleader outfit singing a few of her greatest hits and one off her new Rock album Queen’s “We Are The Champions.  If you DIDN’T see the game the Cowboys won 45 to 10 and Dolly STILL looked great…

Christmas came early for NBC: The network’s annual telecast of the Macy’s Thanksgiving Parade delivered the biggest ratings ever. The 97th annual parade was seen by 28.5 million viewers.  The National Dog Show, aired immediately after the parade and dropped to 11.9 million viewers…I guess you just can’t beat an inflatable Sponge Bob…

Tracy Lawrence’s 18th Annual Turkey Fry and Benefit Concert raised $250,000 for the Nashville Rescue Mission.  They also fried over 1,200 turkeys to help provide over 10,000 meals to those in need.

The Hallmark Channel is gearing up for its annual release of Christmas movies. And for 2023, they’re releasing 42 new movies.  On Wednesday, Blake Shelton shared a trailer of one of these movies on his socials. It’s called “Time for her to Come Home for Christmas” Why do you ask?  Well, Blake is one of the Producers.  It premieres on Thursday November 30th 7pm on the Hallmark channel.

OK! Magazine reports Britney Spears is allegedly facing serious financial trouble. If you’ve seen any of her Instagram offerings, you might think there’s something else going on as well.  She’s been blowing through cash and now has a mountain of debts and no money coming in. It’s not all Britney’s fault given all the people who’ve leeched off her and continue to do so.  Adding to that, her soon to be ex-husband is getting a “low six figure” settlement. And is living in a $10k a month apartment paid for by Spears.

And finally, Sam Hunt’s wife Hannah recently gave birth to their second child.  We don’t know the name yet.  He shared a photo on Friday of Hannah holding the newborn, while Sam has their one-year-old daughter Lucy in his arms.

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 Friday, December 26th 2025

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.
