Welcome to The List,
And the first day of Summer,
Justin Moore Enjoys his Summer and likes to go places where no one can find him … “My zen places, if you will, are either on the lake on my boat fishing or in a tree huntin’. be in the middle of nowhere where if somebody wanted to, there’s no way they could find me. That’s my favorite places to be.”..My favorite place is the dinning room with a box of Oreo’s…

“Top Gun: Maverick” star Glen ‘Hangman’ Powell tells the USA Today newspaper that he and the cast pigged out after filming was done. Saying ”We took down more tater tots than a human has ever eaten. We lived it up. Then we get a call right after dinner. It was like: ‘We got the vibe, but we need more. We’re going to have to reshoot in a couple of weeks.” Oops!

Jake Owen Says says HIS favorite summer activity is pretty simple…”I mean I like anything, I like just drinking beer. I like being with my friends, I like being on my boat.” Sometimes that’s all it’s about, keeping it simple. Jake’s career is ANYTHING but simple. He’s doing very well with his hit “Best Thing Since Back Roads” and he’s on his 34 date cross country ‘Up There Down Here’ Tour that will bring him through North Eastern Iowa to the Delaware County Fair in Manchester July 14th

A new movie about Elvis Presley is out this weekend and Tom Hanks will play Colonel Tom Parker, Elvis’ Manager/Promoter. “Was he a cheap carny…yes…did he have an artistic bone in his body? No…We were able to put together I think a realistic approach to what a genius the Colonel was up until 1968.” It looks to be a pretty good movie if you’re an Elvis fan it’s going to be a must see. We’ll take a look at ‘Elvis’ Thursday with ‘At The Movies’ during the Drive At Five. ‘Elvis’ is in theaters this weekend.

Will Kane Brown start wearing a cowboy hat? Maybe! He tells Music Mayhem magazine that a cowboy hat makes him feel powerful. Saying his stylist brought him one to wear. Adding, ‘No wonder Jon Pardi and Kenny Chesney feel… Just powerful’. I had to put it on, I feel like a bigger superstar!” it’s kinda why Tom Cruise wears lifts in his shoes…so he can be taller…and feel more…. well, never mind…

And finally, Sports Illustrated says Tom Brady promoted his new underwear line yesterday on Twitter. He posted a picture of himself standing next to a man in boxer briefs. The man was holding a sign that read; “Stop trying to promote your underwear, Tom.”….that’s a good place to end…

Welcome to The List,
Keith Urban just gave fans exactly what they’ve been begging for. His brand-new live album “High And A(live)” is officially out now, recorded straight from the High And Alive World Tour. You get 11 number-one hits, plus his cover of “You Get What You Give.” This isn’t a watered-down live album either it’s basically front-row energy without paying arena prices.

Brad Paisley just confessed what every guy already knows… he’s a last-minute Christmas shopper. Brad says he ends up at the mall on December 24th, panic-buying gifts he doesn’t fully understand. He admits it’s a waste of what should be a fun day, but somehow he still does it every year. Buying mystery gifts and hoping for the best… truly a man of the people.

Cher is catching heat for allegedly lip-syncing during her Saturday Night Live performance. Some fans compared it to Ashlee Simpson’s infamous 2004 moment which feels a little dramatic. Cher is 79 years old, it’s a taped show, and lip-syncing has been happening on SNL longer than the cold open.

Jake Paul revealed he had surgery after getting knocked out by Anthony Joshua. He says doctors had to install two titanium plates on each side of his jaw and remove some teeth. Jake says the surgery went well, but he’s on liquids only for seven days. Nothing humbles a YouTuber faster than being on a smoothie diet.

Welcome to The List,
Mike Tyson says he’s open to a rematch with Jake Paul after Jake’s recent loss to Anthony Joshua. Tyson claims this time he’s cracked the code on training, saying he went too hard before and “left most of the fight in the gym.” RadarOnline says Mike thinks a smarter camp would change everything. Which is wild, because the man is still Mike Tyson. If this happens, somebody hide the ear protection… literally.

Taylor Swift reportedly used to be hesitant about dating athletes until Travis Kelce showed up. A source says her mom encouraged her to give Travis a chance, and now Taylor’s outlook has completely changed. Not only that, insiders claim the relationship has boosted the Chiefs’ global presence. Turns out the tight end also unlocked international brand expansion.

Lainey Wilson told CMT she stays grounded by remembering where she came from. She said it’s about planting your feet, knowing who you are, standing up for what you believe in, and keeping your people close. Which explains why she can win everything, host award shows, and still sound like the most normal human in Nashville.

Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban are reportedly still neighbors in Nashville as they focus on co-parenting their daughters. Nicole stays in the family home, Keith lives nearby, and they’re even spotted shopping at the same stores…just separately. A source says their dedication to the kids is unwavering. Awkward? Maybe.
