Welcome to The List,
Award season is gearing up with the Grammy’s this Sunday and the ACM’s in April…
Miranda Lambert’s song “Bluebird” is up for Best Country Song and Best Country solo performance this year at the Grammy’s and she gets to perform her song. It must mean a lot for her to be there. “For music, you know we haven’t been able to do what we love to do so. Getting to come to the Grammy’s and perform and have your song celebrated, it means the world.” The Grammys air Sunday on CBS
Now, we turn to the ACM’s AND Keith Urban will be hosting. But he made a call to Mickey Guyton to ask a very special question. Would you be up to co-hosting with me..and she said “Yes, Yes! Do I have a pulse!! Of course! I’m trying to be really calm right now and professional,” It’s really hard to be calm when you get asked to co-host the ACM’s we get it…The 56th ACM Awards airs Sunday, April 18th on CBS.
This week we shared that Bear Grylls may have been placed on the list as one of a few that maybe stepping into the shoes of Daniel Craig to play James Bond. “I wish that I had the acting chops for it, but I’m very flattered to anyone that suggested it, thank you.” Bear is to busy doing real man stuff, like repelling off of mountains, surviving harsh environments and coming out the other side laughing…James Bond might take some lessons.
Rolling Stone magazine says props from classic movies like “Alien,” “Die Hard, and “Batman” are heading to the auction block. The “Hollywood Legends” auction is scheduled for April 28th in Beverly Hills..
– Sean Connery’s “James Bond” Walther P5 pistol
– Bruce Willis’ tank top from “Die Hard”
– Al Pacino’s pinstripe suit from “Scarface”

Welcome to The List,
Rumors are flying that Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce have allegedly set a wedding date. A so-called source says the planning is “military-level precise,” which tracks, because Taylor hates surprises and Travis runs NFL playbooks for a living. Pop music, professional football, and Hollywood elite all in one room. Locked down, protected, unforgettable. Basically the most intense group project ever attempted.

Former Bachelor host Chris Harrison is launching a new dating show for people who want a “traditional, marriage-minded partnership built on commitment and shared values.” Which apparently is now considered edgy programming. Somewhere, reality TV just gasped. This is not roses and drama. This is compatibility and emotional maturity.

Before Luke Combs made it big, he had $200 left in his bank account. That money went toward mastering one song, “Hurricane.” He releases it, sells about 10,000 copies the first week, and uses the cash to finish the rest of the album. Then pitches it to labels. And that, kids, is how you bet on yourself and win.

Toby Keith, Kenny Rogers, and Ed Harris are being inducted into the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum. The ceremony happens in April in Oklahoma City. They’re joining legends like George Strait, Brooks & Dunn, Kurt Russell, and Burt Reynolds. That is a hall with serious swagger. Cowboy hats optional. Legends required.
