The List for Thursday, January 5th 2022

Welcome to The List,

Super Bowl 57 airs on Sunday, February 12th on Fox.  The game takes place at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, with Rihanna headlining the halftime show. All that is good to know…but what about the commercials? For now we can confirm that Walter White isn’t dead after all.  He’s returning for a Super Bowl commercial for Frito-Lay’s PopCorners. Bryan Cranston shared a picture of himself as Walter holding a bag of chips, with the caption, “Breaking Soon.”

Entertainment Weekly put together a list of the 20 best guilty pleasure movies.  It includes “Overboard”“Twilight”, and “Point Break”. Others making that list include “Pretty Woman”, “Miss Congeniality” and “Showgirls”…so, if your favorite movie is on the list don’t feel bad…it’s a guilty pleasure. Well except for “Showgirls” shame on you.

Brantley Gilbert says he’s met a lot of people in the music business, but the one guy who has impressed him the most, is Blake Shelton.  He says Blake has always been “solid, kind, and welcoming.”  He adds, quote, “I don’t know that you’ll meet anybody that’ll say a whole lot of negative stuff about Blake.”

—–

In his new book, Prince Harry says Prince William once physically attacked him when they were arguing about his relationship with Meghan Markle.  He says William shoved him to the ground, but later apologized.   At least that’s what Harry says in his upcoming autobiography, “Spare”. “Spare” comes out next Tuesday.  The title refers to the fact that William is the HEIR to the throne, and Harry is the SPARE, in case anything happens to him.

Jimmie Allen will be a speaker at the undergraduate ceremony of his alma mater, Delaware State University, in May.  He said, quote, “I met lifetime friends there and learned so much about who I am as a Black man . . . [I] hope I can share something that will inspire the next generation of leaders.”

Shane Profitt met his mentor, Chris Janson, for the first time at a sushi restaurant, which is ironic because up to that point he had never eaten sushi and was pretty sure he didn’t like it. The “How It Outta Be’ singer was only at the restaurant because he was on a date with a girl who said she wanted sushi.  “The crunchy shrimp sushi roll is my go to if we go to a sushi restaurant. I still haven’t stepped into the raw aspect of the sushi side, but maybe one day I’ll expand my horizons and step into that raw sushi aspect. “

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??
