The List for Friday, August 1st 2025

Welcome to The List,

Carrie Underwood is back for her 13th season of belting out the “Sunday Night Football” theme and honestly, at this point, she should be listed on the injury report as a starting vocalist. If you watched the Hall of Fame game last night, you got a sneak peek. First official SNF matchup? September 7th. Set your DVRs and your expectations.

-----

WELL WHATCHA GONNA DO, BROTHER—when you find out you’ve got a surprise $4 million in the bank?! Hulk Hogan’s buddy randomly discovered a hidden account at a Bank of America ATM linked to old merch deals and even Hogan himself didn’t know it existed. Meanwhile, his ex-wife Linda is somewhere flipping furniture.

-----

Eric Church says he avoids social media so his fans can do the talking for him. Because apparently nothing says “rock and roll rebel” like crowd-sourced tweets. He told Billboard it’s always been about the music not memes, not threads just music. Let the fans tweet, he’ll stick to guitars and sunglasses.

-----

Diddy wants his verdicts tossed out or a new trial altogether. His legal team says the charges don’t fit under the Mann Act and that the women involved chose to participate. The courtroom is now a remix of legal jargon, past behavior, and high-stakes lawyering. Stay tuned, because this legal drama has more twists than a Bad Boy beat.

The List for Thursday, July 31st 2025

Welcome to The List,

Football is right around the corner so… warm up those nachos because Carrie Underwood is back belting “Waiting All Day for Sunday Night” for lucky year thirteen. The new version kicks off September 7th when the Ravens tackle the Bills. Clear your throat, stretch your chips, and prepare to scream-sing along like it’s national cardio.

-----

Ozzy Osbourne just flipped the script on funerals no sobbing backstabbers, just a full-throttle rock-n-roll revenge party. Marching band blasting “Crazy Train” through Birmingham, dark jokes louder than the hearse, and a firm “no fake tears” sign for anyone who crossed Sharon. Even Elton John showed up, probably wearing earplugs.

-----

Miranda Lambert just clapped back at the internet gawking at her caboose. She posted a slow-mo strut video labeled, “Warned y’all ’bout my backyard swagger since 2014.” Basically saying: the view’s been scenic for a decade, folks kindly catch up, adjust your binoculars, and remember manners before ogling country royalty.

-----

Tim McGraw just went full cue-ball chic buzzed off the cowboy locks and rolled out a sharp gray goatee. The Country Wire’s photos prove it: he’s serving “silver-fox bouncer at a honky-tonk spa.” Saddle up, shampoo budget; Tim’s new look could cut wind resistance and maybe your heart rate.

The List for Wednesday, July 30th 2025

Welcome to The List,

Brad Paisley pulled a fast one in Bridgeport, Connecticut while singing Mr. Policeman, he handed guitar picks to actual cops on stage. Just casually trolling the guys who could literally arrest him mid-solo. The Bridgeport Police loved it, posted the video, and didn’t press charges…for now.

-----

Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau were caught on a dinner date in Montreal. Yes, that Justin Canada’s ex-PM. They sipped cocktails, devoured lobster, and whispered sweet nothings under government-level security. Because nothing says “I miss power” like flirting over shellfish. Thirsty, much?

-----

Kendall Jenner and Chris Stapleton teamed up to promote tequila and whiskey because nothing pairs better than influencers and hangovers. But it got deep: Kendall said she loves sad songs, and Chris hit her with, “It makes us feel less alone in sadness.” Who knew whiskey came with therapy?

-----

Brad Pitt’s filming The Adventures of Cliff Booth, a spinoff from Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. Meanwhile, Gremlins 3 is ready to roll…just waiting on Steven Spielberg to stop ghosting their texts. So yeah Brad’s back, and the Mogwai might be too. Popcorn, anyone?

The List for Tuesday, July 29th 2025

Welcome to The List,

Everybody wants to go viral with their ridiculous popcorn buckets, but Marvel just said “hold my butter.” The new Fantastic Four bucket is shaped like Galactus’ head… lights up… and holds 341 ounces of popcorn. It’s officially the world’s biggest popcorn bucket. Because apparently, movies now come with a side of Guinness Records.

-----

So a Miranda Lambert concert clip just blew up on TikTok—and not because of her voice. A fan caught a clear shot of her backstage passes and the top comment? “Now we know why the front row is so expensive.” I mean, she did say she was bringing the heat to Seattle.

-----

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s $25 million Netflix movie is stuck in development... limbo. No director, no cast, and apparently, no one with a wallet is touching it. One insider said, “This isn’t 2020. Meghan’s sparkle has dimmed.” Translation: Netflix is holding the bag, and the bag is empty.

-----

Beyoncé just broke the record for the highest-grossing country music tour of all time. Yeah, you heard that right—COUNTRY. She made over $407 million. Meanwhile, Zach Bryan—actual country dude—only pulled in $321 million. Somebody remind Queen B: rhinestones don’t make you Nashville.
