The List for Monday, November 7th 2022

Welcome to The List,

Over the weekend, we learned the Aaron Carter the younger brother of Nick Carter of the Backstreet Boys was found dead in his bathtub Saturday morning…as of yet still no word on the cause. At the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony this weekend, Dolly Parton was inducted and shared a microphone with Judas Priest singer Rob Halford which by it’s self is a show stopper.

Here’s a turn…Carrie Underwood’s fans will be furious if she doesn’t win CMA Entertainer of the Year [EOTY] on Wednesday.  Country Now was checking social media posts and found this from a fan, quote, “EOTY or we riot.”  Let’s hope they’re kidding.  Carrie is up against Morgan Wallen, Chris Stapleton, Luke Combs, and Miranda Lambert.

George Strait was at Saturday’s World Series game.  He signed a bunch of autographs, and there’s a pic of him GETTING an autograph from Astros pitcher Lance McCullers Jr.  He also did the traditional “Play ball” call before the game.

Black Adam is the number one movie in the country again…that make THREE weeks in a row…followed by some other movie…I just can seem to remember what they were…

—–

Luke Bryan is going to join the Monday Night Football broadcast on ESPN tonight. He will talk with Peyton and Eli Manning and promote the CMA Awards, which take place on Wednesday on ABC.

Ace Showbiz says Tom Cruise and Queen Elizabeth had tea before she passed away. ..it was something she had ALWAYS wanted to do it was a bucket list thing…. what would it take to get actor Sofia Vergara into a Walmart…well…they have to sell her clothing line….so for the first time ever she visited the store in Bentonville Arkansas… were she climbed onto a platform and pretended to be a mannequin while people walked by and still didn’t recognize her.

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??
