The List for Friday, April 4th 2025

Welcome to The List,

Will Smith is trying to make a rap comeback, but hip-hop fans aren’t exactly getting jiggy with it. A source says he’s basically a senior citizen now, and today’s rap crowd just doesn’t think he’s relevant. So, Will is testing the waters overseas before hitting the U.S. Translation? If it flops in Europe, he can just pretend it never happened. Honestly, if anyone can make “Grandpa Rap” a thing, it’s probably Will Smith.

Morgan Wallen was on Theo Von’s podcast, and things got real when they started talking about bars. Morgan admitted he hasn’t stepped foot in one since… well, the last time—and let’s just say, we all remember how that went. Now, whether that’s a personal choice or a strong legal recommendation is up for debate. But hey, at least he knows when to walk away… even if it took a few tries.

Lainey Wilson has spent her entire life working on music, but what made her really blow up? Her butt. Seriously, she went viral on TikTok because of her curves—not her chords. She says at first, she thought it was funny, but then she realized people just wouldn’t stop talking about it. Lesson learned? Never read the comments. Unless, of course, they’re all raving about your rear end—then maybe just skim them.

Details about Val Kilmer’s health in his final days have been released.  He was bed-bound due to a lack of energy from his cancer treatments. Val’s declining health led to his body being unable to fight and him passing at age 65 after battling pneumonia.  Val, known for his intense method acting techniques, filled his bed with ice while filming ’Tombstone’ to mimic the feeling of dying from tuberculosis.

The List for Tuesday, October 7th 2025

Welcome to The List,

Just in time for Halloween! You can now stay overnight in the actual Poltergeist house from the 1982 movie. Yep the one with the TV that eats kids. It’s in Simi Valley, California, and it’ll only cost you about one to two grand a night. But here’s the kicker the house rules say no ghost hunting, no Ouija boards, no séances, and no dark rituals. So basically, you’re paying a thousand bucks a night to be terrified… quietly.

Kane Brown and his wife Katelyn are bringing their song “Thank God” to the Lifetime Network as a new Christmas movie called Christmas at Keller Ranch. They’re not starring in it probably too busy making another hit song or TikTok but they’re executive producing it. Expect love, faith, and enough holiday sparkle to make Santa blush.

-----

Dick Van Dyke is turning 100 this December yes, the man is basically a walking fountain of youth and dad jokes. At a fan event, he joked, “It’d be funny if I didn’t make it,” then added that if he’d known he’d live this long, he would’ve taken better care of himself. Same, Dick. He credits his 54-year-old wife, Arlene, for keeping him young. The man literally married a human multivitamin.

-----

CBS just announced the lineup for New Year’s Eve Live: Nashville’s Big Bash. Jason Aldean, Lainey Wilson, and Bailey Zimmerman are ready to rock Music City into 2026! You’ll also see CeCe Winans and the Fisk Jubilee Singers because nothing says “Happy New Year” like confetti, cowboy hats, and a high note that makes your champagne glass shake.
