Welcome to The List,
Over the weekend, we learned the Aaron Carter the younger brother of Nick Carter of the Backstreet Boys was found dead in his bathtub Saturday morning…as of yet still no word on the cause. At the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony this weekend, Dolly Parton was inducted and shared a microphone with Judas Priest singer Rob Halford which by it’s self is a show stopper.

Here’s a turn…Carrie Underwood’s fans will be furious if she doesn’t win CMA Entertainer of the Year [EOTY] on Wednesday.

Carrie is up against Morgan Wallen, Chris Stapleton, Luke Combs, and Miranda Lambert.

Welcome to The List,
Sad news from the soap world. General Hospital icon Anthony Geary has passed away at age 78 due to complications from surgery in Amsterdam. Fans knew him forever as Luke Spencer, one of the most legendary characters daytime TV has ever seen. His longtime on-screen partner Genie Francis said, “No star burned brighter than Tony Geary,” adding that working with him was always unpredictable and exciting. A true original, and a massive loss for television history.

Radar Online says Mariah Carey is allegedly stressed that her Christmas anthem All I Want For Christmas Is You might not dominate the charts this year. Apparently Gen Z is flirting with other holiday jams. An insider says this song is basically Mariah’s financial Super Bowl. If it underperforms, the brand wobbles. Somewhere, Mariah is warming up her whistle register and threatening December itself.

Riley Green had a moment onstage when a fan tossed leopard-print granny panties at him mid-show. He kept singing like a pro while the internet absolutely did not. His tour crew has now started collecting bras, panties, and even hair extensions thrown on stage. Riley said they were going to donate the bras once he learned how expensive they are. Country concerts really are built different.

Blake Shelton told People magazine that Gwen Stefani is the head chef at home, especially when it comes to Italian food. Blake says her lasagna takes all day to make, but he’d eat it for the rest of his life. Somewhere, an Oklahoma grill is quietly weeping, but love is love. And apparently love tastes like lasagna.
