The List for Friday, February 18th 2022

Welcome to The List,

Carly Pearce talks about writing her and Ashley McBryde’s hit single “Never Wanted To Be That Girl”  ” I just wanted to do something that was a little unexpected, and I didn’t know if she would ever be up for writing. It’s really the only other artist, other than Luke Combs, that I’ve ever asked to write a song with me, and we speak the same country music language.” The second single from Pearce’s third studio album, 29: Written in Stone. Is a top 20 hit for Carly and Ashley…

Would you be interested in seeing photos of GEORGE STRAIT on his tour bus at 2:00 A.M.. . doing tequila shots with former Skid Row singer SEBASTIAN BACH?  Yeah, you heard that right.  Sebastian posted them a couple days ago. It happened earlier this month after one of George’s shows in Vegas.  The whole thing got started because they share a drummer.  Check out the Instagram pic below….

A photographer while taking pictures of the L.A. Rams victory celebration fell off a stage and fractured her spine. . It happened right in front of  MATTHEW STAFFORD and his wife.  While Matthew did a 180 and walked away his wife Kelly went to help the photographer. It’s being reported that Matthew and the team are covering her medical bills

The Tom Holland and Mark Wahlberg video game movie “Uncharted” is in theaters today.  It’s up against the Channing Tatumroad-trip movie “Dog”and a horror movie called “The Cursed”

LUKE COMBS will be a dad pretty soon, and when that happens, he’s going to be all-in.  He says family is very important to him, so he plans on bringing the whole crew on tour so he can “be the guy throwing the football to them.”

And finally – Coca-Cola is introducing a new drink inspired by space. The drink is called Starlight and is red and purple when held up to the light. Starlight they say tastes like a combination of Coke Zero and S’mores.

The List for Thursday, June 19th 2025

Welcome to The List,

Lainey Wilson's getting her own exhibit at the Country Music Hall of Fame called “Tough as Nails.” It opens July 18th and runs through next June. From Louisiana farm girl to CMA queen — it’s like Cinderella, but with bell bottoms and a banjo.

-----

Dolly Parton just roasted the real-life Jolene like a Thanksgiving turkey. She said, “She’s not so hot now... used to be a D-cup, now she’s in Depends.” I mean, dang Dolly — that wasn't shade, that was a total eclipse.

-----

Word is Travis Kelce is cracking under the pressure of juggling touchdowns and Taylor Swift. He's trying to live two lives: NFL beast by day, Swiftie arm candy by night. And apparently? It’s catching up with him. Rumors say he might hang up the cleats early — or just pass out from exhaustion mid-rom-com marathon.

-----

Troy Aikman just bought a place near Prince Harry and Meghan in Montecito — but don’t expect royal backyard BBQs. Troy says he hasn’t seen 'em, doesn’t plan to, and doubts they’re fans of light beer anyway. Translation: “I live near them, but I ain’t with them.” Iconic.

The List for Wednesday, June 18th 2025

Welcome to The List,

Willie Nelson says he’s done smoking pot. Yep—he’s hung up the lighter and picked up the gummy bears. In a “Forbes” interview, he said his lungs officially filed a complaint, so now he sticks to edibles. Just picture it: Willie chillin’ on the bus, snacking like a stoned grandma at bedtime.

-----

Liquid Death sold ten empty cans of iced tea... that Ozzy Osbourne drank from. They were $450 each, came with his DNA and a personal autograph. And YES—they sold out instantly. Because nothing says "collector’s item" like sipping what's basically Ozzy's rock 'n’ roll backwash.

-----

Jeff Gordon says Tom Cruise is doing Days of Thunder 2! Apparently, Tom saw Jeff at the “Mission: Impossible” premiere and opened with, “We’re doing it.” Because Tom Cruise doesn’t small talk—he sequel talks. Let’s hope the cars are fast and the acting is... well, Tom Cruise-ish.

-----

Big love to Jelly Roll and Bunnie XO—she shared a video crying tears of joy after finally getting good news on their IVF journey. Five months of struggle, and then—bam—miracle moment. And somewhere, God whispered, “Alright already, here you go.” Man, pass the tissues and the happy dance.
