Welcome to The List,
If you ever find yourself in Hollywood…maybe pick up an autograph if your lucky? Well, there are a few celebrities that simply refuse to give them up!! Star Treks Captain Kirk William Shatner only does them at conventions, Paul McCarney says he’d rather have a conversation with a fan and Steve Martin we’re not sure what the policy is NOW but back in the 80’s he used to hand out pre-signed cards that said, “This certifies that you have had a personal encounter with me, and you found me warm, polite, intelligent, and funny.”

If you’re looking for something REALLY scary to watch this Halloween, a website called StudyFinds claims to have found the five SCARIEST movies. What they came up with were.. It Follows, The Shining, Paranormal Activity, Halloween (the original) and at number one…The Exorcist….you’re welcome.

Hardy is coming out with a second album called “The Mockingbird & the Crow” on January 20th. But to hold you over until then, he released THREE new songs. They’re called “Here Lies Country Music”, “Truck Bed”, and “The Mockingbird & the Crow”.

The debut episode of Netflix’s new horror series “The Midnight Club” was one for the record books. Literally. It set the Guinness World Record for the most JUMP SCARES in a premiere episode. There were 21. Which is interesting, because the show’s co-creator Mike Flanagan HATES jump scares. He says, “I thought, ‘We’re going to do all of them at once, and then if we do it right, a jump scare will be rendered meaningless for the rest of the series.’ but that didn’t happen. They were like, ‘Great! More [scares]!'”

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.

Welcome to The List,
Mike Tyson says he’s open to a rematch with Jake Paul after Jake’s recent loss to Anthony Joshua. Tyson claims this time he’s cracked the code on training, saying he went too hard before and “left most of the fight in the gym.” RadarOnline says Mike thinks a smarter camp would change everything. Which is wild, because the man is still Mike Tyson. If this happens, somebody hide the ear protection… literally.

Taylor Swift reportedly used to be hesitant about dating athletes until Travis Kelce showed up. A source says her mom encouraged her to give Travis a chance, and now Taylor’s outlook has completely changed. Not only that, insiders claim the relationship has boosted the Chiefs’ global presence. Turns out the tight end also unlocked international brand expansion.

Lainey Wilson told CMT she stays grounded by remembering where she came from. She said it’s about planting your feet, knowing who you are, standing up for what you believe in, and keeping your people close. Which explains why she can win everything, host award shows, and still sound like the most normal human in Nashville.
-----
Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban are reportedly still neighbors in Nashville as they focus on co-parenting their daughters. Nicole stays in the family home, Keith lives nearby, and they’re even spotted shopping at the same stores…just separately. A source says their dedication to the kids is unwavering. Awkward? Maybe.
