The List for Wednesday, March 8th 2023

Welcome to The List,

Here’s someone we haven’t heard from in a while…Gene Hackman!!  He hasn’t worked in almost 20 years, and he’s rarely seen in public.  But he’s still the BA he’s always been. Someone snapped pictures of Gene . . . who’s 93 years old . . . doing yard work at his ranch in Santa Fe, New Mexico.  But first, he went on a Wendy’s run and chowed down on a chicken sandwich and a Coke.

CMT’s “Hot 20 Countdown” asked a bunch of country stars to name the weirdest thing fans have thrown at them on stage.  Thomas Rhett said a packet of breast milk . . . Jelly Roll said men’s tighty-whities . . . and Hardy said a prosthetic leg, then he drank a BEER out of it.

—–

Two big NFL rumors are going around.  Supposedly, Aaron Rodgers is interested in playing for the New York Jets, and Tom Brady is considering another unretirement to join the Miami Dolphins . . . which he’s already denied.

—–

The CMA Fest is celebrating its 50th year this June, and they’re going big. The initial lineup has been announced, and it’s pretty much everyone you could think of. They include Tim McGraw, Luke Bryan, Miranda Lambert, Keith Urban, Jason Aldean, Jimmie Allen, Dierks Bentley, Eric Church, Luke Combs, Dan + Shay, and Lainey Wilson.

How fired up can one get after a screening of a movie…well, “Creed III” is the number one movie at the box office right now…The Daily Mail says a couple ladies took it to another level…after a screening in France….They started boxing each other!!!  Some theatergoers crowded around them while others ran for the exit. No word on what sparked the brawl. The fight was quickly broken up.

—–

Ireland Baldwin’s baby shower went down over the weekend . . . at a strip club.  Ireland’s 69-year-old mother Kim Basinger was there…if you’re wondering no cinematographers were harmed….

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??
