The List for Monday, May 9th 2022

Welcome to The List,

Luke Combs is a busy guy these days…trying to come up with a name for his yet to be born baby AND has made a huge Announcement… His Fall Tour … “Yeah I’m announcing an arena tour this fall  “So. It’s going to be called The Middle of Somewhere Tour. A great name for a tour, just because of, you know, the people that I feel like we get to play music for”  The first leg of the tour will have Jordan Davis and Morgan Wade.. the Second half will include Lainey Wilson

”Cobra Kai” is back for Season 5 on September 9th.

Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez spent the weekend touring a $68 million Los Angeles mansion. The home has 12 bedrooms, 24 bathrooms and a massive pool THAT way I guess if there’s an argument, they can go to their respective zip codes in the house….

—–

9 months in and Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani are having typical marital “discussions”.  A source tells OK magazine, Gwen decides what they’re going to have for dinner, she’s a vegetarian and Blake likes his meat and potatoes….and never squeezes the toothpaste from the bottom…ah…true love…

—–

Sam Hunt and Hannah Lee Fowler have reportedly reunited. While it was previously reported that the pair were set to divorce, they have since called it off,   She originally accused him of infidelity…and is pregnant with the pair’s first child.  Revealing on Country Countdown USA that they are having a baby girl and like Luke Combs is waiting to give her a name.

—–

This weekend Kelsea Ballerini returned to Knoxville, TN and Central High School, where she attended her Freshman and Sophomore years for a reunion – with everything shut down last year, the 10 year reunion in 2021, became the 11 year reunion in 2022….Technically she didn’t graduate from there…she moved to Nashville to chase the dream.. but felt THIS was the place she had those friendships, crushes, music and heartbreak.  If you’re familiar with Kelsea and Kenny Chesney’s number-one hit “Half of My Hometown” you’re familiar with her move from Knoxville to Nashville.

Country singer and actor Mickey Gilley, known for launching the Urban Cowboy movement in Country music and hit songs including “Stand By Me,” “Room Full of Roses” and “Lonely Nights,” died Saturday, May 7th, in Branson, Missouri at the age of 86.

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??
