Welcome to The List,
Looking for something good to watch this holiday season? A list of the 25 best Christmas movies includes “A Muppet Christmas Carol”, “It’s a Wonderful Life”, and even the John Waters movie “Female Trouble”. But it does NOT include “A Christmas Story”. See the complete list HERE

Luke Bryan has a lot going on . . . in addition to his country music career, he’s wrapping up his Las Vegas residency, he’s a judge on “American Idol”, and he owns a bar in downtown Nashville. Oh, and he has two kids…BIT01 – ”I love working…but it’s time to just hit pause and sit in a duck blind or a deer blind for a while.” He’s been feeling the pressure for ole dad to be home for a while.

Leonardo DiCaprio has a history dating much younger women…recently it was reported he went on a date with Kate Moss’ half sister Lottie. Lottie is 25. And get this: Leo dated Kate 30 years ago, before Lottie was even born. Leo and Kate are 49 now…

Jon Pardi tells Country Heat Weekly that he has been sober for over 100 days. “I was pre-diabetic and I was just like, I gotta stop. But I will say I’m retired. Doesn’t mean I can’t come out of retirement, but for right now it’s been great. The weight just fell off my face.

Page Six says Madonna upset her fans by starting her Brooklyn concert three hours late. The “Material Girl” didn’t take the stage until 11 p.m., causing fans to take to social media to express their frustration. Some fans defended Madonna and said she was worth the wait while others demanded refunds.

Welcome to The List,
Country star Cole Swindell just admitted something we can ALL relate to—he used to hate the sound of his own voice. In a recent interview, he said, “Nobody really likes hearing themselves talk.” Well, Cole, join the club. If you've ever cringed at your own voicemail or nearly thrown your phone across the room after hearing yourself in a video, you get it. Luckily for Cole, he powered through the awkwardness and now has multiple hit songs. The rest of us? Still avoiding voice memos at all costs.

Kelsea Ballerini fans are dedicated—but one took it to the next level at her recent concert in Salt Lake City. The fan asked her to sign his actual divorce decree, thanking her for helping him through his breakup. Ballerini politely declined (probably a smart legal move), but the interaction quickly went viral. The real question is: Was his ex there, and did she demand joint custody of the concert tickets?

Kelly Clarkson is reportedly considering leaving The Kelly Clarkson Show to take over for Hoda Kotb on The Today Show. Why? Because talk show hosting is exhausting, and she wants more time with her kids. Honestly, fair. Running a daily talk show is like throwing a dinner party every single day—but with celebrity guests and an audience judging your every move. An NBC insider says the switch is a real possibility, meaning morning TV could soon have more Kelly and possibly… fewer impromptu Hoda dance breaks?

A new Netflix rom-com is doing the unthinkable—convincing people to make major life decisions. The Life List, starring Sofia Carson, follows a woman completing her late mother’s bucket list, and apparently, it’s inspiring real-life viewers to dump their toxic partners and quit their terrible jobs. So if you see a co-worker watching it on their lunch break, brace yourself—they might be handing in their two weeks’ notice by the end of the day.

People magazine says Val Kilmer, known for Top Gun, has passed away at 65 from pneumonia. The actor had battled throat cancer. Kilmer leaves behind his daughter, Mercedes, and son, Jack.
