The List for Wednesday, December 21st 2022

Welcome to The List,

Sharing Christmas memories today with Lauren Alaina, one of HER’S is one from when she was six years old… “When I got my Barbie bike when I was six years old, and I thought I ruled the world because it had a horn and it had Barbie’s picture on it.” So Barbie had a bike? Well, if she can have a townhouse, Corvette.. she can have a bike…my G.I. Joe was the best because IT had Kung Fu Grip!

Luke Bryan Recalls The Most Meaningful Christmas Gift His Wife Ever Gave Him … “My wife, Caroline, went and found my brother’s old pickup truck from 1996. it was down in Louisiana, and it was still on the road. her and my dad went down, they picked it up, brought it to Nashville and Christmas Eve night pulled into the driveway with it, and let’s just say that yes, the tears were flowing and it will never be topped.” Luke lost his brother Chris tragically in a car accident in 1996, Chris was 26 years old.

Pirates of the Caribbean producer Jerry Bruckheimer tells The Hollywood Reporter that he hopes Disney allows him to cast Johnny Depp as Jack Sparrow again. “You’d have to ask them. I can’t answer that question. I really don’t know. I would love to have him in the movie. He’s a friend, a terrific actor, and it’s unfortunate that personal lives creep into everything we do. We tried to kill him. It didn’t work.”

Jon Pardi Says His Grandmother’s Elvis Christmas Ornament Sparked His Love For The King … “One of my favorite memories of my grandmother’s tree, and I think maybe why I love Elvis so much, She had an ornament and it was Elvis, and it was always on her tree. You’d go and you’d hit a button, and it would sing ‘Blue Christmas. And I’d just always hit it, and he’d be doing his pose with a microphone, so yeah, ‘Blue Christmas’ and that ornament, I think that’s probably why I like Elvis so much.”

Carly Pearce is already lookin down the road to New Years Eve!! She says it’s a time for reflection, “I think that every year I try to look back on the year and see what has happened, what I achieved, what I felt like I could do better at, and just try to set quarterly goals. I try to set yearly goals just to make sure that I’m continuing to try to get better.”

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??
