Welcome to The List,
Country Music entertainers see there jobs differently sometimes..bringing the party…making memories…but I think they would all agree with Miranda Lambert when she Sees Her Job As Helping People Forget About Their Issues And The Problems In The World … “People don’t want to think about it. That’s what entertainment is for. I think people come to concerts because they want to cut loose for two hours of their life and drink a beer and listen to music and just be out of the problems, because they have to deal with that seven days a week. And my job is to try to make people have fun and not think about that stuff.” Good point…

In case you were wonderinig…NFL.com says Aaron Rodgers and Shailene Woodley are trying to repair their relationship AND he’s announced his return to the Packers on a four-year, $200 million deal. The extension makes him the highest-paid player in NFL history. $153 million is guaranteed. I’m not going to live this down at home….

Arnold Schwarzenegger tells Entertainment Tonight that he, Danny DeVito and Tracy Morgan are going ahead with plans to make a sequel to “Twins”. There was a small setback because the director Ivan Reitman had passed away. They were hoping for an October release, but for now they have to find a director.

This may have slipped by the other night. Miranda Lamberts’ Entertainer of the Year award made her a member of the ACM Triple Crown. That’s when you’ve won New Artist of the Year, Female or Male Artist of the Year, and, of course, Entertainer of the Year.

Uproxx says Golden State Warriors fans went wild last night when Will Ferrell took the court before the game. He was dressed as his ‘’Semi-Pro’’ character Jackie Moon. Will was wearing a Flint Tropics uniform and an orange and white headband. He took shots with Klay Thompson and Steph Curry. Will received the loudest cheer of the night when he hit a half court shot

Did you love or hate the crazy outfits Brothers Osborne wore while performing “Skeletons” at the ACMs? They wore white jumpsuits with randomly painted black lines. Either way, blame John Osborne. For the meticulous work it took for him to make them: saying, “We bought some coverall Dickies online. I spent two days painting [them] in my front yard.”

Welcome to The List,
Nicole Kidman is reportedly hitting the reset button on her love life. Insiders say she’s done with high-profile relationships and now wants something quieter, calmer, and way less tabloid-friendly. Along with that, she’s allegedly planning a full image refresh new look, possible cosmetic tweaks, the whole “new chapter” energy.

Adam Sanders was crowned the very first winner of The Road during the finale at the legendary Ryman Auditorium. And right after the big win, Keith Urban leaned in and whispered something Sanders says he’ll never forget: “You played this thing like a F’n fiddle.” Sanders beat out Cassidy Daniels and Channing Wilson and walked away with prize money, a record deal, a Stagecoach main-stage slot, and a Keith Urban quote that belongs in a frame.

Kate Gosselin is officially walking again just 82 days after a serious leg injury. She shared the update on TikTok, saying she’s easing back in stages 25 percent, then 50, then 100. She says it’s a huge step toward recovery and she’s excited. Which is great, because raising eight kids feels like a full-contact sport.

And finally… Tyler Farr admitted to one of the most country stories ever told. He says he once went skinny dipping and peed in Jason Aldean’s pool. Yes. That happened. Farr shared it like a proud memory, though Jason’s pool filter probably needed therapy afterward. Country music friendships are built different… and apparently so are their pools.

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.
