Welcome to The List,
Some things you can see and understand like Blake Shelton on stage…Blake Shelton on The Voice…Blake Shelton in a bar…drunk…but can you imagine Blake Shelton in the kitchen? Well, it happens and he says he likes helping Gwen when she’s cookin “I feel like I’m a good Sous-chef for her, because I’m like ‘tell me what I can do to help you’ cause she tries to take it all on. So, she’ll say ‘chop that onion’ or bowl this or whatever so I have a blast. I can drink and help her cook.”

Sandra Bullock and Channing Tatum were on with James Corden last night and talks about seeing Channing on ‘Magic Mike’ for the first time. “I went, ‘Oh my God!’ but it was in a different way. It’s was like kind were ladies you know when you’re twisting in your seat and you like oooh…stop!!…because it’s…it’s to much coming at you.” Sandra Bullock and Channing Tatum’s new movie ‘The Lost City’ is in theaters this weekend.

83 year-old Maury Povich has hosted the longest-running daytime talk show in broadcast history. It was recently announced that “Maury” will finally end after 31 seasons. We asked Maury about his favorite moment on the show. “That is when a woman was accusing a guy of being the father of her twins. So, I open up the envelope, and I say ‘you are the father of ONE but not the OTHER’. I look at my staff and they said ‘it’s a million to one shot with fraternal twins if someone is pretty active in a 24 to 48 hour period you can have two fathers.” Maury says the one thing he will miss the most is the “storytelling.”

Sam Hunt’s estranged wife, Hannah Lee Fowler, is allegedly done with him for cheating. “She was hopeful this pregnancy would bring them closer together, but it didn’t stop him. He’s living his best SINGLE life with his buddies. At this point, she isn’t even taking his calls .And he thought ‘Breaking up was easy in the 90’s’…

Tim McGraw revealed the secret to a successful emotional song and how he does it. In an interview with “Big Machine Label Group”, he said, “For him, it all comes from a piece of his soul. “Every time I sing a song, I feel like I’m tearing out a piece of my soul, and I want it to feel that way. I don’t try to over-sing anything . . .”You can tell somebody how you feel, but when you can tell somebody how THEY feel, and they didn’t know they felt that way until they heard it in a song or they felt it, I think that’s when there’s something really special.” Tim also added that he’s been fortunate to have made really great songs in his career that have allowed him to find that “emotional well.”

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.
