The List for Friday, July 1st 2022

Welcome to The List,

Keith Urban is celebrating his 15 year marriage to Nicole Kidman. While on the Today Show yesterday Crain Melvin asked what the secret to a successful marriage really is?  “Oh, I have no idea, I’ll let you know in thirty years.  Really loving and being together.  That’s it yeah.” Keith kicked of the Today Shows Concert series yesterday with a few of his hits and a brand NEW song called ‘Brown Eyes Baby’

The Oxford Mail says Tom Cruise’s upcoming birthday party in the UK is allegedly going to cost $243,000. James Corden, Mission Impossible star Simon Pegg and David and Victoria Beckham are all on the guest list. Partygoers will enjoy food, drinks and accommodations. Tom turns 60 on Sunday.  Here I was just hoping for a day at Adventureland for MY birthday.

Miranda Lambert’s Favorite time of year is summer and the 4th of July… “I love holidays in general, but Fourth of July is…summer is my favorite time of year, so Fourth of July is probably one of my favorites because I…my favorite firework is sparklers. Always it brings out the little girl in me. I always ask for sparklers (laughs) for Fourth of July.”

Luke Combs says there were many different people that really shaped his singing or taught him how to sing early on.  Vince Gill and Clint Black and Garth (Brooks) and stuff like that.  But surprisingly he says As he got to be 10, 11, 12, it was more like Boyz II Men, Backstreet Boys, *NSYNC kind of thing. Well, I bet HE’S the influence on many young singer today.

”Top Gun: Maverick” star Miles Teller should be cast as the next James Bond according to his 82-year-old grandmother Leona Flowers. She tweeted, ”They’re looking for an actor to replace Daniel Craig for future 007 movies. I think my grandson, Miles Teller, has proven that he has everything they’re looking for- talent, looks, strength, worldwide appeal & oh, so cool. He can be that guy!! Wouldn’t he be great?” Actually, they’re looking to quote “reinvent” the Bond character…I have NO IDEA what THAT could mean..but thanks grandma for you input.

Legendary and Warner Bros. announced new theatrical release plans for two of their high-profile films Thursday. Dune: Part Two is being pushed back less than a month from Oct. 20, 2023, to Nov. 17, 2023. That means the sequel will have the advantage of playing over the Thanksgiving holiday.  It also means it’ll face competition at the box office from Lionsgate’s The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes with also opens that weekend.  If you were a fan of Godzilla vs Kong…The next installment in the franchise will hit theaters March 15, 2024.

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.
