Welcome to The List,
As Thomas Rhett says in his song, ‘It feels good to be country again’ it sure has been a long road for him. “It doesn’t feel like that long ago, yet at the same time it feels like a century ago that I felt like I was in college just trying to figure it out. Today he feels more centered, loves to be outside, or fishing or sitting by a fire on a back porch.
Cole Swindell says his one-time duet partner, Dierks Bentley, has always been one of his idols and credits HIM with the idea of writing his own songs. When Cole was singing covers in college he realized he needed to make other people feel that way and write his own stuff…
US Weekly Magazine claims Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez may do another rom-com together ..please no…anyone remember ‘Gigli”…..Hoda Kotb of The Today Show. Asked if there was going to be a return of ‘Bennifer’ JLo responded, “I am happy. I’m always happy when you see me, Hoda … you can call me. You have my number.”
Comedian Gabriel Iglesias Hasn’t Gotten To Meet His “Space Jam” Co-Star, LeBron James … Gabriel plays Speedy Gonzales in “Space Jam: A New Legacy.” ‘I’m hoping that’s gonna happen sooner than later, I missed the red carpet that happened at Magic Mountain. So, the first chance I get I’m going to tell LeBron who Speedy was if he doesn’t already know.”“Space Jam: A New Legacy” is in theaters and streaming on HBO Max now.

Welcome to The List,
Will there be another Austin Powers? Rumors say Mike Myers is turning down massive offers to bring the franchise back. Sources claim he does not need the money, already made tens of millions, and still cashes in every Halloween. Apparently he is focused on dad life instead of shagadelic life. So no, baby… he is not desperate.

Cody Johnson just confirmed he and Luke Combs finally cut a song together. Fans have been waiting years for this bromance to hit the studio. They toured Australia and New Zealand together, and now the friendship is officially on vinyl. And that is not all. Cody also says there is a track with Brothers Osborne on the new album. That record is about to be stacked.

Ella Langley just hit number one on the all-genre Hot 100 with “Choosin’ Texas.”
That puts her in elite company with legends like Dolly Parton, Carrie Underwood, Taylor Swift, Kacey Musgraves, Jeannie C. Riley, and Beyoncé. She is also reportedly the first female artist to hold number one on Hot Country Songs, Country Airplay, and the Hot 100 at the same time. Released October 7th and it has been sprinting ever since. That is not just a hit. That is a takeover.

And speaking of Taylor Swift, betting sites say there is a 50 percent chance her childhood friend Abigail Anderson is Maid of Honor. They also give a 25 percent chance that Vera Wang designs the dress. We are now gambling on bridal parties. This wedding might need its own sportsbook. Only in 2026, folks.
