Welcome to The List,

So, is it true that Kane Brown working at Lowe’s used to sing at work? “Yes I got to ah, it’s kinda were my music career started. I used to sing in the halls and the aisles. All of my co-workers used to tell me to sing louder, and I remember always being around that was my family.”

The Drinks Business website says rapper 50 Cent recently attended a wine auction and dinner in Houston. He wore a black cowboy hat and purchased a $125,000 bottle of wine. After buying the 2017 Hye Meadow Winery Boooom Red, he tweeted,  “You’re a nobody till you win a bid at the wine auction. Now I have a bottle of wine that costs more than a Rolls Royce.”  And the world rolls there eyes…

Miranda Lambert tells EW.com that the pandemic was hard for her. “The first six months of 2020, I didn’t write anything. I didn’t do anything. I painted and cooked. Like everyone else, I ate too much and tried out all the wine and found all the places we had it hidden.

MovieWeb says Chris Hemsworth is going to play a villain in the next Mad Max movie, ‘Mad Max Furiosa’. He says, ”Pretty damn fired up to be a part of a franchise that meant the world to me as a kid growing up in Australia. I’ll do my best to continue the tradition of cinematic badassery.”

A career search website called Zippia.com posted a list of each state’s most famous movie star. Some of those choices were questionable to say the least. For example, for Arkansas.  They chose:  Wes Bentley.  They could have chosen:  Mary Steenburgen or Billy Bob Thornton. Missouri.  They chose:  Evan Peters from “American Horror Story”.  They could have chosen:  John Goodman, Don Cheadle, Dick Van Dyke, Jon Hamm, Don Johnson, and for Iowa it HAD to be Ashton Kutcher

The List for Thursday, December 18th 2025

Welcome to The List,

The Oscars are officially breaking up with ABC and moving in with YouTube. Starting in 2029, the Academy Awards will stream on YouTube, along with all the red-carpet chaos, through at least 2033. ABC still gets the show through the 100th Oscars in 2028, but after that, no channel flipping — you’re clicking a link.

Don’t expect to see Michael Bublé back in the spinning chair next season. He says he’s done with The Voice after dealing with online backlash and missing his family. An insider says the negative comments really took a toll, even though he loves the show and the crew. Sometimes the smoothest crooner in the room just wants to go home and be Dad.

Blake Shelton shared the first time he brought Gwen Stefani home to Oklahoma and it blew her mind. Gwen, raised in Anaheim, saw Blake’s land and asked, “You own this?” Then she spotted a creek and said, “You can have that?” She thought rivers only came with national park admission. Blake called it one of the joys of his life. City girl meets country acreage…

Morgan Wallen is now the highest-selling country artist of all time. He just picked up 80 new certifications and officially crossed 240 million units sold. Luke Combs comes in at number two, Garth Brooks at number three. Let that sink in. Skipped awards shows, topped streaming, and now sits on the mountain. Morgan let the numbers do the talking and they did….loudly.
