Welcome to The List,
Today on The List we celebrate favorite Christmas presents…I think MY favorite was waking up in the morning to a room FULL of toys and for one day I didn’t have to clean up my mess… But Brantley Gilbert? He got a new best friend…“The best gift I ever received as a child, I still gotta say, I think I was in third grade, and I got a miniature dachshund. My parents got me a dog, and that little dude was my best friend for eight years. His name was Max, and he was one of the best dogs ever. So that’s probably my best Christmas memory”

The Spice girls could soon be piling back into their infamous double decker bus for a Spice Girls reunion tour. Just two years after the beloved ’90s girl group reunited, minus Beckham, for a brief tour, Sporty Spice herself teased the possibility of yet another reunion, revealing that she and her former bandmates are “constantly” talking about another tour. But, it won’t happen any time soon…but if it did they say a World Tour would happen in 2023. Tell me whatcha want…what cha really, really want…..a Spice Girls reunion tour…

Florida Georgia Line’s Brian Kelley On His Best Christmas Present … “My best Christmas gift I ever received, probably as a child, had to be my G.I. Joe command post. It was basically like a big old castle, a fortress. I woke up on Christmas morning, it was all set up, had all the G.I. Joes, all the players, and it was incredible. I had a wonderful day playing with all my friends, and nothing like a good G.I. Joe as a child. It made for a very memorable experience”

Would you mistake Ryan Reynolds for Ben Affleck? Well it happens almost every time Ryan walks into this New York pizzeria. Ryan says “They believe I’m Ben Affleck and I’ve never corrected them. I feel it would not go over well if I revealed. I do everything normal like everybody else. ‘They’ll ask how J.Lo is and I’m like, “Great, good.” I get the pizza and off I go.” How could you ever mistake Batman for Deadpool….

Welcome to The List,
Rumors are flying that Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce have allegedly set a wedding date. A so-called source says the planning is “military-level precise,” which tracks, because Taylor hates surprises and Travis runs NFL playbooks for a living. Pop music, professional football, and Hollywood elite all in one room. Locked down, protected, unforgettable. Basically the most intense group project ever attempted.

Former Bachelor host Chris Harrison is launching a new dating show for people who want a “traditional, marriage-minded partnership built on commitment and shared values.” Which apparently is now considered edgy programming. Somewhere, reality TV just gasped. This is not roses and drama. This is compatibility and emotional maturity.

Before Luke Combs made it big, he had $200 left in his bank account. That money went toward mastering one song, “Hurricane.” He releases it, sells about 10,000 copies the first week, and uses the cash to finish the rest of the album. Then pitches it to labels. And that, kids, is how you bet on yourself and win.

Toby Keith, Kenny Rogers, and Ed Harris are being inducted into the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum. The ceremony happens in April in Oklahoma City. They’re joining legends like George Strait, Brooks & Dunn, Kurt Russell, and Burt Reynolds. That is a hall with serious swagger. Cowboy hats optional. Legends required.
