The List for Thursday, May 26th 2022

Welcome to The List,

Eric Church talks about Celebrating Our Freedom and the people that provide those freedoms … “I’m very proud that we have the soldiers. I know there are a lot of other countries out there in the world that don’t want to live the way we do, and that’s fine, they can keep living the way they are, but I’m very proud of it. I think that’s a time to celebrate being proud to be an American and celebrate those freedoms…and celebrate the people that are over fighting for those freedoms” Adding it’s the soldiers he comes in contact with on the road, the ability to make the music he makes and to say what he wants to say.

Ellen’s final show today will be filled with tears and joy. Ellen tells The Hollywood Reporter, “It’s funny because the last couple of months I was more emotional than I was in the last week or two. She got really emotional about two months out, but that last week she just really wanted to enjoy it.

Luke Combs tells CMT that he’s getting nervous about the birth of his baby. “I’m a little nervous. You got a lot of stuff to do. I got a lot on my plate that I don’t even realize is on there yet. I’m uncovering things every day; I’m buying all kind of clothes I didn’t know existed. I mean, I just just learned what a bassinet was. Do you know if Columbia carries a newborn line?”

Tom Cruise tells Bella magazine that he hasn’t taken a day off in 40 years. “I’m just chillin’ now. I don’t have days off. Look, I’m fortunate, I’m lucky. I’ve spent my life on movie sets and travelling the world, which is what I always wanted to do. So this is not work – I’m living the dream.”

Josh Turner Is Ready For Summer … “I have a nice boat that I got a couple of years ago. I have it set up for saltwater and fresh water. I’m not much of a water skier. My legs are too skinny for that, but I just try to tube and have fun and just ride”

Madonna is auditioning new boyfriends. A source says she has zero interest in dating someone her age. What she wants is a hard-bodied, hot guy in his late twenties – someone who can keep up with her. She has requested that her team find her a handful of options – after signing a watertight NDA, of course.

The List for Tuesday, August 19th 2025

Welcome to The List,

Luke Combs says Garth Brooks just casually bought him a Ford Bronco Raptor… for singing ONE song at the Songwriters Hall of Fame. ONE! Luke thought his manager was giving him his own car, but nope “Surprise, it’s from Garth.” Meanwhile, I can’t even get my neighbor to loan me his lawnmower without leaving a $20 security deposit.

-----

So apparently Travis Kelce regrets partying with Taylor Swift after losing the Super Bowl last year. Sources say all that spotlight and distraction messed with his focus and now he’s laser-focused on getting that edge back. Basically he realized you can’t win rings if you’re too busy making friendship bracelets with the Swifties.

-----

Big win in Texas this weekend the “Band Together Texas” benefit concert raised over 8.5 MILLION dollars for flood relief. Huge! And the moment everyone’s talking about? Cody Johnson belting out “How Great Thou Art.” Goosebumps, tears, and probably a few folks suddenly calling their mama.

-----

Remember Mama June? Yeah, she’s trending again, but not for anything good. She’s bragging online that she never tips more than 5% on DoorDash or Instacart. FIVE percent. She said she paid $176, gave the driver five percent, then complained about a $60 “convenience fee.” First off, drivers aren’t showing up to your house for a slice of pizza crust and a pat on the back, Mama!
