The List for Monday, June 23rd 2025

Welcome to The List,

Alright, Gen X and Millennials—remember those “Choose Your Own Adventure” books that left you emotionally scarred at 10? Plot twist: the guy who wrote them, Edward Packard, is literally the grandfather of the new Superman, David Corenswet. Yup. Grandpa wrote alternate endings, grandson wears a cape. Choose that adventure. “Superman” hits theaters July 11th

Missed the CMA Fest in Nashville? It’s cool, we all can’t live off bachelorette energy and pulled pork. But you can catch all the performances on “CMA Fest Presented by SoFi” this Thursday, June 26th at 8 on ABC. Over 30 performances, no porta-potties. Also hits Hulu the next day.

Keifer Thompson from Thompson Square is NOT having it with Beyoncé’s Grammy win for Best Country Album. He says folks out here living country got beat by someone who “ain’t even in the genre.” Ouch!!

Apparently, Kelly Clarkson’s life is falling apart faster than a dollar store lawn chair. Sources say her talk show’s hanging on by dental floss, she’s drowning in drama, and New York’s got her stressed. She’ll finish out the season ‘cause she’s a pro—but sounds like she’s eyeing the emergency exit for next year.

And speaking of unexpected turns: Jelly Roll is about to guest host Jimmy Kimmel Live! while Jimmy takes a summer nap.  – now reading cue cards in a suit. Somewhere, late-night TV just ordered a double whiskey and said, “Let’s roll.”

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.
