The List for Wednesday, February 22nd 2023

Welcome to The List,

Straying from the country side for a moment…Fans of glam rock are in luck – Mr. Big is moving forward with plans for a reunion tour in 2023. The ‘To Be With You’ band has been promising a comeback for years, especially after the tragic death of original drummer Pat Torpey in 2018. Now, frontman Eric Martin says that they are ready to hit the road and honor their late friend.

Cobra Kai fans are in an emotional quandary right now as they wait for Season 6 to premiere on Netflix. Last month, Netflix officially announced that Season 6 was in the works, but also that it would be the final season of the show.  Cobra Kai has become one of the most popular Netflix original series in the entire catalog, and six seasons is a pretty good run by the streamer’s standards.

Blake Shelton is allegedly “miserable” in his marriage to Gwen Stefani. According to Radar Online, the pair were spotted not having a good time at NASCAR’s Busch Light Clash.  Stefani spent part of the event doing commentary for Fox. Later, however, sources claimed that the singer and her country star husband appeared unhappy…I would probably say ‘bored’…Do the cars get above 50 miles per hour in that small space?

Alan Jackson’s CMT disorder won’t be keeping him out of the studio.  During an interview on his daughter Mattie’s “In-Joy Life” podcast he said he doesn’t tour much, but the “creative part jumps out now and then” . . . and he feels like there WILL be new music on the way.

Radar Online claims 76 year old Cher is allegedly planning to elope with her 37 year old boyfriend Alexander Edwards…and the public reacts! (crickets)

—–

Jo Dee Messina is on tour right now, and as an ode to her 1996 hit, it’s called the “Heads Carolina, Tails California” tour.  It kicked off in North Carolina last week and will wrap up in California in November with a stop at Tailgates N’ Tallboys in Clinton Iowa June 9th.  She’s also releasing a greatest hits album next month.

The List for Tuesday, December 23rd 2025

Welcome to The List,

Keith Urban just gave fans exactly what they’ve been begging for. His brand-new live album “High And A(live)” is officially out now, recorded straight from the High And Alive World Tour. You get 11 number-one hits, plus his cover of “You Get What You Give.” This isn’t a watered-down live album either it’s basically front-row energy without paying arena prices.

Brad Paisley just confessed what every guy already knows… he’s a last-minute Christmas shopper. Brad says he ends up at the mall on December 24th, panic-buying gifts he doesn’t fully understand. He admits it’s a waste of what should be a fun day, but somehow he still does it every year. Buying mystery gifts and hoping for the best… truly a man of the people.

-----

Cher is catching heat for allegedly lip-syncing during her Saturday Night Live performance. Some fans compared it to Ashlee Simpson’s infamous 2004 moment which feels a little dramatic. Cher is 79 years old, it’s a taped show, and lip-syncing has been happening on SNL longer than the cold open.

-----

Jake Paul revealed he had surgery after getting knocked out by Anthony Joshua. He says doctors had to install two titanium plates on each side of his jaw and remove some teeth. Jake says the surgery went well, but he’s on liquids only for seven days. Nothing humbles a YouTuber faster than being on a smoothie diet.

The List for Monday, December 22nd 2025

Welcome to The List,

Mike Tyson says he’s open to a rematch with Jake Paul after Jake’s recent loss to Anthony Joshua. Tyson claims this time he’s cracked the code on training, saying he went too hard before and “left most of the fight in the gym.” RadarOnline says Mike thinks a smarter camp would change everything. Which is wild, because the man is still Mike Tyson. If this happens, somebody hide the ear protection… literally.

-----

Taylor Swift reportedly used to be hesitant about dating athletes until Travis Kelce showed up. A source says her mom encouraged her to give Travis a chance, and now Taylor’s outlook has completely changed. Not only that, insiders claim the relationship has boosted the Chiefs’ global presence. Turns out the tight end also unlocked international brand expansion.

-----

Lainey Wilson told CMT she stays grounded by remembering where she came from. She said it’s about planting your feet, knowing who you are, standing up for what you believe in, and keeping your people close. Which explains why she can win everything, host award shows, and still sound like the most normal human in Nashville.

-----

Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban are reportedly still neighbors in Nashville as they focus on co-parenting their daughters. Nicole stays in the family home, Keith lives nearby, and they’re even spotted shopping at the same stores…just separately. A source says their dedication to the kids is unwavering. Awkward? Maybe.
