The List for Thursday, May 1st 2025

Welcome to The List,

Megan Moroney told Rolling Stone she considers herself a “Southern-belle Barbie”—you know, with 10 pounds of hair extensions and a hairspray helmet for special occasions. Because nothing says “authentic country” like a plastic head and a flammable updo.

CBS has a new show coming called The Road, where up-and-coming artists open for Keith Urban and Blake Shelton. And who’s their tour manager? Gretchen “Redneck Woman” Wilson. So yes—aspiring singers, prepare to get yelled at in a Southern accent while learning the fine art of shot-gunning a beer mid-guitar solo.

—

Back in ’83, Freddie Mercury and Michael Jackson were gonna record a duet—until Michael brought his pet llama into the studio. Freddie took one look and said, “I’m out.” Because even rock legends have limits, and apparently, surprise livestock is one of them.

—-

Eva Longoria says she’s not sure there’ll be a Desperate Housewives reboot. And somewhere, every guy who was forced to watch it in 2005 just exhaled like they avoided jury duty.

The List for Friday, March 20th 2026

Welcome to The List,

Hollywood lost a true action legend today. Chuck Norris, the martial arts star and longtime “Walker, Texas Ranger” icon, has died at age 86, according to statements from his family.  Beyond the screen, his larger-than-life reputation exploded online through viral “Chuck Norris facts,” turning him into one of pop culture’s most enduring memes.

-----

Arnold is back forging steel abs in Venice - Schwarzenegger is grinding at the legendary Gold’s Gym again, training for a Conan sequel. He wants real muscles on screen, even if Hollywood quietly sprinkles in some CGI seasoning.

-----

Luke Combs battled wings like a true warrior - Luke became the first country star on Hot Ones, turkey calling between bites and comparing spicy wings to a home invasion. Nashville just found a new extreme sport.

-----

Lainey, Riley, and Cody bringing stadium energy - The ACM Awards are heading to Vegas, and this trio is set to light up the MGM Grand stage. Rhinestones, roar, and probably at least one cowboy hat thrown in victory.
