Welcome to The List,
It’s about time to start picking your Halloween watch list. 2,000 people were asked and most said they like spooky movies that are eerie the rest loved the really scary movies…Freddy Krueger from “A Nightmare on Elm Street” was voted the most iconic horror film antagonist. He was followed by Chucky from “Child’s Play” and Ghostface from “Scream”.

People Magazine says Garth Brooks recently baked a chocolate cake for his wife Trisha Yearwood’s 59th birthday. It was the first time Garth made a cake. Trisha was impressed and called it the sweetest gift he has ever given her.

There’s been talk recently that Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson could actually be brothers. And it turns out that talk was started by Matthew’s own mother, Kay. It came up on a casual conversation while on vacation. She told the boys that sha and Woody’s dad used to frequent the same place out in West Texas. Apparently, Kay was separated from Matthew’s dad right around the time she “knew” Woody’s father. So…

This is just a little TOO perfect: Taylor Swift was spotted out on the town in New York City on Tuesday night, arm-in-arm with . . . SOPHIE TURNER. Sophie just announced her split from Joe Jonas . . . who just happens to also be Taylor’s ex. What . . . or WHO . . . do you think Taylor and Sophie talked about? Taylor and Joe dated about 15 years ago . . . which should make you feel incredibly old. And Taylor claimed that he broke up with her in a 27-second phone call.

Carrie Underwood says she’s focused on limiting her kids’ technology use as much as possible. “Even television, I notice if they kind of watch too much TV, they have an attitude shift and I’m like, ‘Why are you moody? Sometimes they’ve learned a lot from different television programs and movies and stuff like that. But it’s a struggle.”

Of course Gwen Stefani misses her husband, Blake, on the set of “The Voice.” She tells NBC that “It’s really different being on the show without him, but at the same time, it hasn’t been as hard as I thought it was going to be.” Because maybe now she’ll have a chance to win.

In theaters this weekend – “Crime 101”
Weaving a tale of an elusive thief whose high-stakes heists unfolding along the iconic 101 freeway have mystified police. When he eyes the score of a lifetime with hopes of this being his final job, his path collides with a disillusioned insurance broker who is facing her own crossroads, forcing the two to collaborate.

Welcome to The List,
Travis Kelce is out here setting expectations so high the rest of us are gonna get yelled at for bringing home gas station flowers. He’s reportedly spent $141,000 on pre-wedding gifts for Taylor Swift, including Rolex watches, designer jackets, and daily flower deliveries. Daily. Meanwhile, I forgot my anniversary once and tried to fix it with a breakfast burrito. Travis Kelce just ruined relationships for every man in America.

Lainey Wilson is teasing new music, and the title might be the most Lainey Wilson thing ever. The new single is called “Can’t Sit Still,” which tracks, because she’s been everywhere except my back yard party. She says her friends describe her as “a suitcase with legs,” which honestly sounds like Delta Airlines lost her twice already. No official release date yet, but she says it’s coming “real soon,” so prepare your playlists accordingly.

Bunnie XO just revealed she thought Jelly Roll was a jerk when they first met, which proves once again women love a fixer-upper. She said he had “teddy bear with teeth energy” and sad eyes, and she basically looked at him like a home improvement project from HGTV. Fast forward to now, they’re one of Country music’s biggest power couples. Moral of the story, sometimes the guy who ignores you becomes your husband.

The new Mummy reboot is ditching the Tom Cruise action vibe and going straight for emotional damage. This one’s from the director of Evil Dead Rise, so instead of running from explosions, you’ll be running from your own nightmares. It’s about a girl who disappears and comes back after spending quality time inside a 3,000-year-old coffin. It hits theaters April 17th, and I’ll be watching it from the safety of daylight and denial.

I was a bit caught off guard with question #1 do you know that is the nickname of Iowa?
