The List for Tuesday, January 17th 2023

Welcome to The List,

Lisa Rinna recently announced she’s leaving “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills”.  In a new interview, she said the Housewife Universe has become unhealthy and no longer works for her….nor has it worked for many others…for a long time…

Ron Howard wants “Backdraft” to be the next of his movies to get the TV series treatment.  That’s the 1991 firefighter movie starring Kurt Russell and William Baldwin.  He told “Entertainment Weekly”, that, “We could do it efficiently and safely . . .He clarified that a series is NOT in the works, but that producer Brian Grazer talks about it from time to time.  If it were to happen, it would be Ron’s third movie to become a series.

—–

Tyler Hubbard explains why he didn’t change the title of his song “5 Foot 9”, after finding out his wife Hayley is 5’10”.  First, it was already written, and you don’t change a finished product.  Plus, he wasn’t sure at the time if he would even record it, so it wouldn’t have made a difference.

—–

No doubt Maren Morris had good intentions when she apologized to the LGBTQ+ community on Friday’s episode of “RuPaul’s Drag Race”.  But it DID sound like she was trying to represent all of country music. And now, someone in “country music” . . . namely Thompson Square . . . has taken issue with that.  Yesterday they Tweeted, “Didn’t realize there was a spokesperson for all of country music these days.”  I’m not sure what was she apologizing for anyway,  did she take their skittles?

—–

The Grammy Awards are February 3rd, and Luke Combs has three nominations.  Somebody wondered how he feels about it, and he said this “I mean you know getting these Grammy nominations is awesome you know? You know they don’t come around too often. And so you know having the opportunity to just be to be thought of when that time comes is pretty unique and is always always awesome.“  The 65th Annual Grammy Awards hosted by Trevor Noah, Sunday February 5th at 6pm on CBS.

The NY Post says Lisa Marie Presley’s three daughters, Riley, Harper and Finley, will inherit Graceland. Lisa will be buried on the property. Elvis purchased the home in 1957 for $100,000. The estate is now worth $500 million. Lisa Marie once said, “Graceland was given to me and will always be mine. And then passed to my children. It will never be sold.”

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??
