The List for Wednesday, October 26th 2022

Welcome to The List,

The scariest horror movie villains of all time were calculated using the average number of kills and jump scares.  The top three are Michael Myers, the Werewolf from “An American Werewolf in London”, and the creature from “The Grudge”….So uncle George from Pennsylvania didn’t make the list again this year.  But you’ll see him for Thanksgiving.

The actors on “Avatar: The Way of Water”, worked with specialists to learn how to hold their breath for underwater scenes.  Zoe Saldana got to the point where she could hold hers for almost five minutes.  Sigourney Weaver did six and a half minutes . . . and Kate Winslet, always the overachiever, went SEVEN minutes without taking a breath…meanwhile Tom Cruise is over here like ‘Hold  my beer”…

Scotty McCreery’s wife Gabi gave birth to their first child on Monday.  It’s a boy named Merrick Avery McCreery.  Scotty posted pics and wrote, “Next to his mother, he is the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen.  Gabi was a total rock star during Avery’s birth.  I could not be more proud of her.”

Marvel Studios is feeling the holiday spirit in the first trailer for The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special!! There’s even a surprise cameo from Kevin Bacon!!  The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special! Premiers on Disney+ November 25th

The CMAs announced the first round of performers, and they include Luke Bryan, Carrie Underwood, Morgan Wallen, Miranda Lambert, Hardy, Carly Pearce, Jimmie Allen, Kelsea Ballerini, and Zac Brown Band. They also announced that the show will OPEN with a “star-studded” tribute to Loretta Lynn.  I’m sure you’ll see several of those performers take part in that.  “The 56th Annual CMA Awards” is airing November 9th on ABC.

Chase Bryant married model Selena Weber in a hilltop ceremony in Texas on Saturday.  The venue overlooked 30 miles of Texas Hill County.  For Selena’s walk down the aisle, they had a string quartet perform “Can’t Help Falling in Love” by Elvis Presley play.

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??
