The List for Friday, November 28th 2025

Welcome to The List,

It’s Black Friday and Chris Young Says ‘Black Friday’ Doesn’t Seem As Fun As It Used To Be … “This is kind of a weird thing ’cause I feel like Black Friday doesn’t really exist anymore. 8 of the 14 major retailers that are all opening on Thursday, and it’s like, man, it just kind of kills it for me a little bit. Cause that’s somethin’ that in the past I have done. Me and my family would totally get up and go early, even when we weren’t lookin’ for anything. Just like the whole madness and the rush of everybody shopping and I thought was really, really cool, and I don’t think you get that anymore. I don’t think it’s the same.”

Brett Young Loves The Sights And Smells Of Christmas … “The first thing always is that the day after Thanksgiving all the Christmas decorations including the tree go up at my parents’ house and in my apartment.  There’s a movie, A Christmas Story, and that’s been my family’s thing that you know TBS does the marathon every year and we watch it until they stop playing it. And then a new one snuck in in the last couple of years that I’m obsessed with that I watch year round pretty much, and that’s Elf. So both of those movies also are like I don’t need to wait for December for that. And then anything kind of like ‘nutmegy’ I’m not a big baker but like every once in a while I’ll be, ‘All right I’ve got to make some sort of holiday dessert to make the house smell like that.’  And so I usually get myself into trouble with something like that too.”

Will Smith is reportedly gearing up for a massive Hollywood comeback and has signed a major deal with Paramount. The National Enquirer says he wants action comedies, thrillers, big sci-fi spectacles — basically all the stuff that turned him into The Fresh Prince of the Box Office. A source says he’s cracking down on his team and demanding the best scripts, directors, writers… because “failure is not an option.” Translation: Will is done apologizing. He wants his summer-blockbuster crown back.

Ben Affleck is allegedly crushed after hearing that his ex-wife Jennifer Garner is planning her wedding to longtime boyfriend John Miller. Sources say Jen is glowing, happier than she’s been in years, and believes John is the one she was meant to be with. Meanwhile, Ben is apparently sitting there with a Dunkin’ cup and a broken heart. They’re not together, he’s not invited, but somehow he’s still catching feelings like it’s 2005 again.

The List for Thursday, April 2nd 2026

Welcome to The List,

Horror fans, buckle up, because nightmare fuel just got a backstory. That creepy Aunt Gladys from Weapons is getting her own prequel. The same witch who basically ruined recess forever. Now we’re diving into her origin story. Cool, cool… just what we needed. Sleep is officially canceled this fall.

-----

ABC went full chaos for April Fool’s Day, announcing Miss Piggy as the next Bachelorette. Twenty-five men competing for love, drama, and probably karate chops. Jesse Palmer hosting, roses flying, egos bruised. And yes, they even joked about criminal records. Finally, a dating show where someone might actually get slapped on night one.

-----

Garth Brooks might be hitting the road, but apparently his nerves got there first. Reports say he’s stressed about touring and not having Trisha by his side. Because even country legends need emotional support spouses. Between legal drama and stage jitters, it’s a lot. Moral of the story, even Garth gets the pre-show butterflies.

-----

Taylor Sheridan says if critics are mad, he’s doing his job right. The guy behind Yellowstone is basically trolling reviewers on purpose. He wants them fired up, writing angry think pieces. Because nothing sells like outrage and cowboy drama. Imagine getting paid to annoy people… oh wait, radio.

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??
