The List for Thursday, May 18th 2023

Welcome to The List,

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle almost met the same fate as Harry’s mom Princess Diana.  At least that’s what Harry’s people are saying. On Tuesday night, Meghan received an award at a ceremony in New York City.  Meghan, Harry, and Meghan’s mom left the ceremony at about 10:00 p.m., got into an SUV and drove off, with a police escort. The paparazzi followed, and things got dangerous.  Harry’s rep says, quote, “This relentless pursuit, lasting over 2 hours, resulted in multiple near collisions involving other drivers on the road, pedestrians and 2 NYPD officers.” Sources say photographers were driving on the sidewalk, running red lights, and driving the wrong way on one-way streets.

Alec Baldwin’s next movie will be “Kent State”, about the deadly confrontation between Ohio National Guardsmen and student protesters during the Vietnam War.  Interesting choice for a guy known for his own gun tragedy.  Alec will play Kent State president Robert White.

If you missed it, Megan Moroney made her morning television show debut on Monday.  She performed “Tennessee Orange” on “Today with Hoda & Jenna”. And you can check by clicking HERE

Jelly Roll tells The New York Times newspaper that he used to tell his daughter’s friends that he drew his tattoos on when he came to see them. “When my daughter was in kindergarten, it was so funny. All of her little friends would go, “What is all that stuff on your face?” I was like, “You won’t believe this, I only draw this on when I come see y’all so y’all are excited about it.” So they believed it, right? It was so precious.”

A new Pink Panther film is in the works with Eddie Murphy in talks to play the iconic inspector Jacques Cluseau.  The movie will see a human cast break an animated Pink Panther out of prison in order to complete another heist.

Yesterday we reported that Arnold is hanging up the terminator, but the one roll he really wants to revisit. Conan the Barbarian.  There’s been back and forth as far as the rights…and scripts for the last 10 years and whispers of Netflix picking it up.  At this point we’re at a wait and see.

The List for Wednesday, February 18th 2026

Welcome to The List,

Shia LaBeouf went full Mardi Gras meltdown in New Orleans, getting arrested after a fight outside a bar and charged with simple battery. Paramedics showed up, Shia went to the hospital, and locals claimed he’d been “terrorizing the city.” But plot twist, after getting released, he was spotted dancing on Bourbon Street with his release papers in his mouth like it was a receipt from a wild night at Walgreens.

Miley Cyrus is dusting off the blonde wig for the Hannah Montana 20th Anniversary Special hitting Disney+ March 24th. They’re recreating the original sets, showing never-before-seen footage, Miley says Hannah will always be part of her, which makes sense, because that show launched her career and funded about half her wardrobe during the foam finger era. Somewhere Billy Ray just whispered, “Best of both worlds… and residual checks.”

-----

Carrie Underwood might look like a country music superhero on stage, but at home she’s basically your Midwest grandma with better hair. She says she crochets, birdwatches, makes sourdough, brews kombucha, and even ferments her own hot sauce. Carrie says real life isn’t glam, it’s cleaning toilets, gardening, and doing laundry. So yes, America’s sweetheart could win a Grammy in the morning and yell at you in the afternoon for not using a coaster.

-----

Jelly Roll and Bunnie XO just announced they’ve found a surrogate and are preparing to grow their family. Bunnie says after years of healing and getting stable, they’re ready to raise kids surrounded by love and give them everything they didn’t have growing up. Which means those kids will have emotional support, life wisdom, and probably the coolest bedtime stories ever told by a guy named Jelly Roll.

The List for Tuesday, February 17th 2026

Welcome to The List,

Keith Urban is reportedly planning a Bahamas getaway with Nicole Kidman and their daughters to reconnect as a family. Because nothing fixes family tension like sunshine, ocean views, and drinks with tiny umbrellas. Sources say the Bahamas is neutral territory, not tied to Nashville, LA, or lawyers.

-----

AJ McLean says it’s time for a ‘90s pop Super Bowl halftime show featuring Backstreet Boys, Britney Spears, NSYNC, and 98 Degrees. Basically, he wants the halftime show to look like your middle school dance playlist. And honestly, I’m not mad. One “Bye Bye Bye” dance break and half of America is throwing out a knee.

-----

Megan Moroney is doing something shocking in 2026…charging affordable ticket prices. Her new “Cloud 9” pop-up tour is nine shows in nine cities for just nine bucks a ticket. Nine dollars. That’s less than a beer, less than parking, and definitely less than your emotional support concert hoodie.

-----

Hollywood legend Robert Duvall has passed at 95, and Tim McGraw paid tribute to his Tender Mercies co-star and friend. Tim said they even texted each other over the years about movies and memories. Which is wild, because somewhere out there was Robert Duvall…just casually texting Tim McGraw like, “Hey man, Tender Mercies is on again.”
