Welcome to The List,
Tis the season in October.. The first teaser for the “Christmas Story” sequel is here . . . but it doesn’t seem to include any new footage . . . just an extreme closeup of Peter Billingsley, as the adult Ralphie, putting on his glasses. The movie is called “A Christmas Story Christmas”, and it hits HBO Max on November 17th.

James Corden is he as sweet and gentle as he seems on TV? There’s at least one guy who doesn’t think so. His name is Keith McNally, and he owns a restaurant called Balthazar in New York City. And yesterday, he posted on Instagram that he’s BANNING Corden because he’s, quote, “a tiny cretin of a man” and “the most abusive customer to my servers since the restaurant opened 25 years ago.” No word yet from Corden.. if he’s so bad, why did it take 25 years.

Jason Aldean and his wife Brittany may never settle their beef with Maren Morris. Why should they when both sides seem to be having a blast trolling each other. Jason at his show on Friday in Nashville, told the crowd he might bring up a special guest. I could call Luke Bryan. I could call Kane Brown. See if Kenny Chesney’s here and not at the beach.” The crowd cheered after each name. But when he said Maren Morris’ name they started booing.

Welcome to The List,
Will there be another Austin Powers? Rumors say Mike Myers is turning down massive offers to bring the franchise back. Sources claim he does not need the money, already made tens of millions, and still cashes in every Halloween. Apparently he is focused on dad life instead of shagadelic life. So no, baby… he is not desperate.

Cody Johnson just confirmed he and Luke Combs finally cut a song together. Fans have been waiting years for this bromance to hit the studio. They toured Australia and New Zealand together, and now the friendship is officially on vinyl. And that is not all. Cody also says there is a track with Brothers Osborne on the new album. That record is about to be stacked.

Ella Langley just hit number one on the all-genre Hot 100 with “Choosin’ Texas.”
That puts her in elite company with legends like Dolly Parton, Carrie Underwood, Taylor Swift, Kacey Musgraves, Jeannie C. Riley, and Beyoncé. She is also reportedly the first female artist to hold number one on Hot Country Songs, Country Airplay, and the Hot 100 at the same time. Released October 7th and it has been sprinting ever since. That is not just a hit. That is a takeover.

And speaking of Taylor Swift, betting sites say there is a 50 percent chance her childhood friend Abigail Anderson is Maid of Honor. They also give a 25 percent chance that Vera Wang designs the dress. We are now gambling on bridal parties. This wedding might need its own sportsbook. Only in 2026, folks.
