The List for Monday, June 5th 2023

Welcome To The List,

Yellowstone is such a hit for Kevin Costner, what do you think would be next for the A-lister…how about mortgaging your home, your 10-acre estate in Santa Barbara to help fund a four-part Western franchise.  He’s reportedly raised $100 million budge all by himself and has been trying to get this going for the last 30 years. Some people are speculating this helped lead to the end of his marriage.

Put September 6th of 2024 on your calendar for the release of the new Beetlejuice movie!!  If you’re skeptical about the sequel, Michael Keaton has provided an update that might get you on board.  He says he and Tim Burton are determined to make it, as close to the way they made it the first time. That includes improvising and riffing, but literally handmade stuff like people creating things with their hands and building something.  Beetlejuice 2 is in theaters September 6th of next year.

Tanya Tucker is the FIRST…to ride a horse onto the stage of at the Grand Ole Opry on Friday.  Historians say that in 97 years, no one had ever done that.  It was the same black stallion she rode through downtown Nashville in April after she made it into the Country Music Hall of Fame. Her new album “Sweet Western Sound” came out on Friday, and there’s a horse on the cover.  So that’s why she did it.  It’s the 26th studio album of her career.

Jordan Davis is going to be a papa…again, this will be number THREE! To say he’s excited is an understatement. he’s getting ALL the feels.  “Yeah, I think you’re kind of all the emotions – excited and scared, nervous. There’s no love like a new baby, and so being able to hold him or her for the first time is always pretty special.” Adding, he loves to see them grow up and their eldest daughter who is three Eloise he says knows what’s going on he’s ready to see HER face when the baby comes home.

Harrison Ford has held  MANY honors, Academy Awards nominee for Best Actor, BAFTA Award nominee for Best Actor. People’s Choice Awards and the list goes on…but nothing can compare to having a new ant and a new spider species named after you. Harvard University scientist Edward Wilson named the ant Pheidole harrisonfordi. The spider is named Calponia harrisonfordi. Wilson bestowed the honor upon Ford because of his conservation efforts..at least it wasn’t a snake…

Katy Perry tells BuzzFeed that she wants to record with Carrie Underwood. Saying she hasn’t done a collab with any female country stars yet. She’s like the queen of country, so that’s cool. The lineup for Luke Bryan’s 14th Farm Tour has been announced, and it’s loaded.  His guests will include Kameron Marlowe from “The Voice”, former “American Idol” winner Chayce Beckham, the Peach Pickers, and DJ Rock.  Tickets are on sale now …He’ll be in Colfax Iowa September 21st

The List for Thursday, June 19th 2025

Welcome to The List,

Lainey Wilson's getting her own exhibit at the Country Music Hall of Fame called “Tough as Nails.” It opens July 18th and runs through next June. From Louisiana farm girl to CMA queen — it’s like Cinderella, but with bell bottoms and a banjo.

-----

Dolly Parton just roasted the real-life Jolene like a Thanksgiving turkey. She said, “She’s not so hot now... used to be a D-cup, now she’s in Depends.” I mean, dang Dolly — that wasn't shade, that was a total eclipse.

-----

Word is Travis Kelce is cracking under the pressure of juggling touchdowns and Taylor Swift. He's trying to live two lives: NFL beast by day, Swiftie arm candy by night. And apparently? It’s catching up with him. Rumors say he might hang up the cleats early — or just pass out from exhaustion mid-rom-com marathon.

-----

Troy Aikman just bought a place near Prince Harry and Meghan in Montecito — but don’t expect royal backyard BBQs. Troy says he hasn’t seen 'em, doesn’t plan to, and doubts they’re fans of light beer anyway. Translation: “I live near them, but I ain’t with them.” Iconic.

The List for Wednesday, June 18th 2025

Welcome to The List,

Willie Nelson says he’s done smoking pot. Yep—he’s hung up the lighter and picked up the gummy bears. In a “Forbes” interview, he said his lungs officially filed a complaint, so now he sticks to edibles. Just picture it: Willie chillin’ on the bus, snacking like a stoned grandma at bedtime.

-----

Liquid Death sold ten empty cans of iced tea... that Ozzy Osbourne drank from. They were $450 each, came with his DNA and a personal autograph. And YES—they sold out instantly. Because nothing says "collector’s item" like sipping what's basically Ozzy's rock 'n’ roll backwash.

-----

Jeff Gordon says Tom Cruise is doing Days of Thunder 2! Apparently, Tom saw Jeff at the “Mission: Impossible” premiere and opened with, “We’re doing it.” Because Tom Cruise doesn’t small talk—he sequel talks. Let’s hope the cars are fast and the acting is... well, Tom Cruise-ish.

-----

Big love to Jelly Roll and Bunnie XO—she shared a video crying tears of joy after finally getting good news on their IVF journey. Five months of struggle, and then—bam—miracle moment. And somewhere, God whispered, “Alright already, here you go.” Man, pass the tissues and the happy dance.
