Welcome to The List,

Tom Hanks just launched a packaged goods company called Hanx for Our Troops.  And he’s giving 100% of its profits to organizations that provide aid to U.S. military veterans and their families. Their first product is coffee.  It comes in three different flavors. Tom said, quote, “By choosing our coffee, you help support those who chose to commit their time and efforts in defense of our liberties for the good cause that is the American Way . . .

Gabby Barrett is an addicted…and her drug of choice is SHOES!!  “I feel like I collect shoes but I just haven’t admitted it to myself yet. I have quite too many shoes… some that I have not even worn yet but swear I would have by now…so I think shoes.” It could be worse…it could have been Back Scratchers…

BuzzFeed put together a list of surprising jobs celebrities had before they were famous…can you imagine Whoopi Goldberg as a morgue beautician, Megan Fox working at a smoothie shop in Florida, which included dressing up as a giant banana. Or Christopher Walken He was a lion tamer trainee when he was 16. Matthew McConaughey Cleaned out chicken coops.

Here’s a quiz – Who said, “Before I go on stage, I smoke a Marlboro and drink a cup of coffee.” If you guessed Trace Adkins, you’d be right!! Sharing his process before he goes on stage, with Rob Lowe on his podcast. He added; “I took voice when I was in college, so I know the way you’re supposed to do it.  I know all the warm-up and breathing techniques, and things you do to loosen up and everything but like a lot of other things in my life . . . I just don’t do it.”

Tracy Lawrence celebrated “Giving Tuesday” by donating $60,000 to fight homelessness across Middle Tennessee.  It involved him hand-delivering $10,000 to six different charities through his “Mission: Possible” organization. On top of that, Tracy’s annual Turkey Fry and Benefit Concert fed over 9,600 of those in need and raised more than $250,000.

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??
