The List for Tuesday, December 23rd 2025

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.

The List for Monday, May 4th 2026

Welcome to The List,

Darth Vader just Force-choked his way to the top spot. It’s Star Wars Day, and a new list crowned him number one. Han Solo slides into second, Leia takes third, rebellion stays strong. Meanwhile, Yoda’s somewhere judging your life choices in silence. May the Fourth be with your bad decisions today.

-----

Charlize Theron just laid down the ultimate parenting reality check. She says her daughters will earn their own money, no shortcuts. And their first cars? Old-school Datsuns, because crashes are coming. Which is bold, considering Datsun hasn’t been a thing in years. Nothing builds character like a car you can’t Google.

-----

Tucker Wetmore just had a full “main character” moment overseas. He wins New Male Artist of the Year at the ACM Awards. Then, his mom walks onstage in London with the trophy. Thomas Rhett pops up on video like it’s a country music Avengers scene. Nothing says you made it like mom showing up internationally.

-----

Somewhere out there, confidence is doing a little too much. A woman says she’s marrying Riley Green, no doubts at all. Claims they met on Facebook and even talked on the phone. Yeah… so has half the internet and a guy named “Steve.” Love is blind, but this one might need Wi-Fi verification.
