The List for Friday, November 7th 2025

Welcome to The List,

Blake Shelton is spilling tea like he just found a new hobby. He says “The Voice” never made superstars because it was all about the coaches, not the singers. Translation: Nobody remembers who won, but we sure remember Blake’s hair, Adam’s vests, and Gwen sparkle-bombing the place. Blake claims the second someone wins, the show already moves on. Honestly, he’s not wrong. The show basically hands you a trophy and says good luck at your county fair.

The CMA Awards on November 19 are stacking the stage like a country music Thunderdome. BigXthaPlug, Luke Combs, Ella Langley, Megan Moroney, Shaboozey, Zach Top, Tucker Wetmore, Lainey Wilson and Stephen Wilson Jr will perform. Oh, and Lainey Wilson is hosting, because at this point she’s the Beyoncé of cowboy hats. Expect killer vocals, rhinestones, and at least one person pretending they know who BigXthaPlug is.

Tom Cruise is allegedly telling people Ana de Armas just wasn’t up to his standards. Okay, Maverick, calm down. Insiders say she’s the one who ended it and Tom is rewriting the script like it’s Mission Impossible 12. Sources say he thought she was perfect and now he’s acting like she couldn’t keep up. Sounds less like “she failed me” and more like “I got dumped and my ego is bruised.” Poor Tommy. Guess love really is the hardest stunt.

Journey is calling this their final tour, titled “Farewell Final Frontier.” Neal Schon says the band spirit will always remain and the music fire still burns. Translation: We’re leaving, but we’re also kinda not. The tour launches February 28 in Hershey, Pennsylvania and wraps July 2 in Laredo, Texas. So, if you’ve ever wanted to belt “Don’t Stop Believin’” with thousands of drunk strangers, this is your moment. Pack tissues. And maybe a chiropractor.

The List for Thursday, March 19th 2026

Welcome to The List…

Hollywood’s biggest fear is officially here. Dead actors… still booking roles. A new movie is using A.I. to bring Val Kilmer back. Yeah. From the grave… straight to the premiere. The director says Val wanted this. His family signed off too. Which is great… until your Netflix suggestions start haunting you. Somewhere an Oscar just felt uncomfortable.

-----

Tom Brady says he wears a disguise to his kids’ games. Not kidding. Hoodie. Hat. Full undercover quarterback mode. Apparently the kids don’t want attention on them because… you know… their dad is TOM BRADY. Imagine trying to sneak into a gym when you’re built like a superhero statue. Sir… we still know it’s you.

-----

Rumor is Keith Urban might be going through a midlife crisis after the split. Sources say he wants to live the single life again. Totally different person now. Which honestly just sounds like every guy who suddenly discovers energy drinks and fitted jeans. Next step is obvious. Corvette. New Balance. Bluetooth headset.

-----

Kenny Chesney just launched his own record label. Big move. Real boss energy. It’s named after his boat… because of course it is. And the first artist he signed…drumroll… Kenny Chesney. Man skipped the middleman and hired himself. HR meeting must be real smooth.
