The List, for Friday, April 23rd 2021

Welcome to The List,

 

Today a couple Country Music Superstars talk about their musical influences and how special the music is…we start with Jake Owen and his musical influences started in southern rock and his first CD? “I remember the first album I bought on CD, was the ‘Shake Your Money Maker’ Black Crowes record.  What I loved about it, was growing up in Florida..you know Florida is famous for Tom Petty, Lynyrd Skynrd, I’ve loved that southern rock I always did and so to me Black Crowes had that influence of southern rock.”

 Dylan Scott talks about his new single ‘Nobody’ he says he knew the song was special the moment he wrote it but why? “There’s nothing to crazy about it, it’s a real simple lyrical song.  The melody was catchy and so I felt really good about it from the beginning. Apparently, it’s turned out to be what I thought it was going to be.”

 After Blake and Gwen get married don’t expect to see much of them in the spotlight.  The Star Magazine reports that they’re looking at less work.  They don’t want to run the risk of burnout…and speaking of Blake, Snoop Dogg who is the Mega Mentor on this season of “The Voice” tell Entertainment Tonight that he and Blake may record a song together once this season of “The Voice” ends.

 The Academy Awards will not have a host this year. Fifteen Hollywood A-listers will work as presenters…and you can watch it Sunday at 7 on ABC…The Academy Awards means it time for the Razzie’s as well, honoring the worst in film, are going to be announced on Saturday night. Here at the nominees

The List for Monday, February 9th 2026

Welcome to The List,

Lainey Wilson says she would absolutely jump back into the saddle for upcoming Yellowstone spin-offs. She told creator Taylor Sheridan she would gladly reprise her role. Country star. Acting chops. Cowboy hats. Honestly, at this point Lainey just lives in fringe and Montana. And we are not mad about it.

-----

Adam Sandler says that viral video about his daughter getting humiliated in a Chanel store is completely fake. The AI clip shows him storming in and dropping $312,000 on handbags. He says the whole story is 100 percent insane and made-up. However… The midnight In-N-Out burger run rumor? He says that one is true. Priorities.

-----

Rumor alert. Reports claim Taylor Swift has allegedly decided not to invite Blake Lively or Ryan Reynolds to her upcoming wedding. Sources say she wants a drama-free day and still feels burned from being pulled into Blake’s legal mess. Allegedly. Emphasis on allegedly. Nothing says romance like a very selective guest list.

-----

Kelsea Ballerini and Chase Stokes have reportedly split. Again. That makes three times. At this point it is less “will they or won’t they” and more “we’ll circle back.” Call me when it sticks.

The List for Friday, February 6th 2026

Welcome to The List,

Starting off with some royal news, and surprise, it’s awkward again. Reports say things are allegedly tense between King Charles and Prince William. An insider claims there’s real anger on both sides, with William being described as controlled, strategic, and very aware that he’s the future king. Translation for the rest of us. Two strong personalities, one crown, zero compromise.

-----

The Super Bowl is fascinating because everyone watches it, but almost half of America claims they do not care who wins. A reported 47 percent of Americans have no opinion on the outcome. Among those who do care, more are pulling for the Seahawks than the Patriots. And me? I am rooting for a solid cheese dip and no commercials that make me cry.

-----

Luke Combs is sitting out the Madden Bowl concert ahead of the Super Bowl. Why? Because his wife is expecting their third child. Luke posted that family always comes first and apologized for missing the show. That is called priorities. And honestly, Dad mode beats Super Bowl mode every time.

-----

Jelly Roll is giving one of his Grammy Awards to the juvenile detention center where he once spent time. His wife Bunnie Xo says he wants to give the kids a little inspiration. That is not a publicity stunt. That is a full-circle moment. And possibly the most meaningful Grammy flex ever.
