The List for Friday, January 9th 2026

Welcome to The List,

Travis Kelce is allegedly in talks with Netflix for a major broadcasting role. Sources say the deal would make him Netflix’s exclusive sports correspondent, with a reported salary between $10 and $20 million a year. Kelce has also hinted at possibly retiring from football, which would make this timing very interesting. From tight end to talking head, the man is clearly building his post-football empire.

Conan O’Brien says comedians are letting anger ruin their comedy when it comes to President Trump. Conan said when comics choose anger over humor, they give up their best weapon, being funny. In other words Jimmy Kimmel,  jokes sound a lot like lectures. From one of the smartest guys in comedy, that’s a pretty solid reminder.

Yes, this is real. A lightsaber duel in the upcoming Star Wars: Starfighter was filmed by Tom Cruise. Cruise showed up to the set by helicopter while the Mission: Impossible theme blasted, then jumped behind the camera at the director’s suggestion. He went full Tom Cruise, standing ankle-deep in mud and water to get the shot and ruining his expensive shoes. The movie hits theaters May 28, 2027 and stars Ryan Gosling, Matt Smith, and Mia Goth. Casual flex.

Chris Stapleton is officially taking The All-American Road Show back on the road in 2026. And on select dates, he’s bringing help. Lainey Wilson and Zach Top will join him on certain stops. That lineup alone should come with a warning label.

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.

The List for Wednesday, March 18th 2026

Welcome to The List,

Today we start with Wedding bells or preseason whistles. That’s the Taylor Swift Travis Kelce dilemma today. A source claims the couple may marry before NFL preseason kicks off. Apparently, they’re confident babies and blitz packages can peacefully coexist.

Because nothing screams romance like scheduling vows around training camp.

Love finds a way. Even through football drills.

-----

Hollywood’s favorite Spider couple might be spinning a new web. Sources say Zendaya and Tom Holland want a baby in 2026. They reportedly care more about family life than blockbuster fame. Meanwhile fans are just hoping their kid gets both accents. Tiny superhero incoming. Diapers with dramatic flair.

-----

Luke Combs just crushed every stylist’s wildest country fantasy. He told GQ you’ll never see him wearing a unitard on stage. He says he’ll stay himself. Hat, boots, and relatable dad vibes. How or WHY that question got brought up is a mystery…Then he pitched country stars for the Super Bowl halftime show. No spandex. Yes steel guitars. America wins.

-----

Country music meets coconut water survival tactics tonight. Zac Brown appears on Survivor for the reward challenge. He’s bringing legit spearfishing skills to impress hungry contestants. Because if you’re a country star you should be able to catch dinner barefoot. Vote him off? That seems deeply unwise.
