The List for Tuesday, October 22nd 2024

Welcome to The List,

Jelly Roll’s weight loss goals are right on track..He tells Life & Style Weekly that he’s working out, walking, and what he’s learned as he’s losing weight, by nature he says that he WANTS to walk, has more energy because he’s lighter and plays basketball three times a day.  He’s lost 100 pounds…

Toby Keith was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame on Sunday, along with John Anderson and guitarist James Burton.  There were performances from Post Malone, Eric Church, Blake Shelton, and Keith Richards.

An update on the death of former One Direction star Liam Payne…toxicology tests found Pink cocaine in his system when he died.  It’s a mixture that generally includes meth, ketamine, and molly . . . but not necessarily cocaine.

This is interesting! The “New York Post” matched up each zodiac sign with the appropriate horror movie.  For Taurus it’s “Midsommar”, for Gemini it’s “Scream”, and Scorpios match up with “Halloween”…Hey! I’m a Scorpio, what are they trying to say? If your birthday is in October and you’re a Libra…”Get Out”.. Libra seek to call out injustice and balance the scales, so to speak.

The List for Wednesday, April 1st 2026

Welcome to The List,

Meghan Markle allegedly thought she could jump the royal line. A new book claims she believed she should be queen next. Said she was smarter, better, and worked harder than Kate. That’s not confidence, that’s skipping the entire family tree.

-----

Two Blackhawk helicopters hovering over Kid Rock’s house raised eyebrows fast. Army pilots got suspended while the investigation played out. Then the Defense Secretary stepped in and shut it down. Suspensions lifted, no punishment, case closed just like that.

-----

Keith Urban might be ready to say a little more. A report claims he felt iced out of Nicole Kidman’s interview. She talked family and life but didn’t mention him once. Now there’s talk he could finally tell his side. Nothing says romance like a possible press tour response.

-----

And if you saw Jason Aldean storm off Colbert… relax. That viral story is completely made up from top to bottom. Wrong show name, bad details, zero credible sources behind it. The internet really said “let’s just create chaos today.” Moral of the story, not everything trending is actually true…I know…surprise right??
