The List for Wednesday April 15th 2020

Reba McEntire has a new album in stores called “Stronger Than The Truth” and was On The Kelly Clarkson Show … Reba sends a message of hope to one of her fans that’s suffering from terminal breast cancer. and talks a little about what she would love to do next Reba wants to appear in a Western movie or TV show. They take a walk down memory lane were Kelly shows pictures from Reba’s past and talk about how Reba once won a car for six months…a Ford Torino..

Luke Combs tells The Times that his songs will always reflect beer and boring jobs. “Why do I sing about beer? Why do I sing about boring jobs? Because people who drink beer and have boring jobs are the fabric of our society. They’re also my fans … people who don’t like my music think it is bland, vanilla, songs for rednecks and moms in trucks. And if I’m honest, my music does have a lot of that because I had an everyday upbringing, living right in the middle of struggle and comfort, so I represent everyday people. Listen, man. Nobody who likes my music wants to get in their car after a job they maybe don’t love so much, and hear me tell them how terrible the world is or how they should feel or what to think. That is somebody else’s gig.”

Are you ready for a Capt jack Sparrow…..6? Pirates Of The Caribbean actor Lee Arenberg says a sixth movie is definitely being discussed. The star – who played bumbling pirate Pintel in the original trilogy – has not been involved in the franchise since 2007’s At World’s End, but he suggested a new film is on the horizon. “They’re definitely talking about it, as far as I know,” he told Kendall Talks TV about a sixth Pirates. It’s unclear whether the new installment will be another sequel or a reboot of the original franchise – which starred Johnny Depp as Captain Jack Sparrow – but last year, Disney brought Ted Elliot and Craig Mazin on board. Elliot co-wrote the first three films in the seafaring saga, while Mazin created Chernobyl.

The search for the next American Idol will continue, despite the COVID-19 pandemic.

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??
