The List for Friday, March 24th 2023

Welcome to The List,

Last year, the people behind the latest “Halloween” trilogy announced they were giving the same treatment to “The Exorcist”.  Yes, a new “Exorcist” movie is in the works. Pretty early on, they announced that Ellen Burstyn was returning to play Chris MacNeil.  But nobody said anything about Linda Blair coming back to play her daughter Regan. Even though she was on set for a few days, all they’ll say is that she, quote, “served as an advisor.”

Chris Lane shared footage of himself crashing his riding mower into a parked car in his driveway.  He was kinda asking for it though because he was attempting to drive around said car WHILE holding a lawn trimmer, rake, and hoe he wrote in the caption:  “The yard work is gonna have to wait.  I now have a car to fix.” You can see the video here…(Warning:  There are profanities toward the end of the video.)

I thought this was funny, Someone accused rocker Eddie Van Halen’s son Wolfgang Van Halen of exploiting his name for publicity.  So he asked followers to choose his new name from the following:  Wolfgang Led Zeppelin . . . Wolfgang AC/DC . . . Wolfgang The Who . . . and Wolfgang Paul McCartney.  They chose Zeppelin.

With Corey Kent’s current single “Wild As Her” climbing the country charts does his children understand what dad does for a living? “They don’t really understand the gravity of what’s happening. But my oldest is now kind of to the age where she’s starting to ask questions about why I’m gone and when I’m coming home. And you know, we’ve been really working on them understanding the fact that I play music, dad plays music to take care of his kids and his wife, and the family.” Corey’s oldest is four, then he has a two and then a five month old little boy.

Giant Freakin Robot says Tom Cruise and Steven Spielberg are teaming for a new action movie called ‘Nomad’.  The duo have worked together twice before on ‘’Minority Report’ and ‘The War of the Worlds’. ‘’Nomad’s’’ plot is being kept a secret  It’s speculated to be a Sci-Fi movie…. whatever it is you know you’re going to get two things…Great FX and Tom running…alot…

Lastly, The Boot reports Brothers Osborne wiped their entire Instagram account clean . . . leaving just one post that says, “Big things coming.  Join the family fan club.”  It’s not clear what it means, but it’s probably something music-related.

The List for Thursday, April 2nd 2026

Welcome to The List,

Horror fans, buckle up, because nightmare fuel just got a backstory. That creepy Aunt Gladys from Weapons is getting her own prequel. The same witch who basically ruined recess forever. Now we’re diving into her origin story. Cool, cool… just what we needed. Sleep is officially canceled this fall.

-----

ABC went full chaos for April Fool’s Day, announcing Miss Piggy as the next Bachelorette. Twenty-five men competing for love, drama, and probably karate chops. Jesse Palmer hosting, roses flying, egos bruised. And yes, they even joked about criminal records. Finally, a dating show where someone might actually get slapped on night one.

-----

Garth Brooks might be hitting the road, but apparently his nerves got there first. Reports say he’s stressed about touring and not having Trisha by his side. Because even country legends need emotional support spouses. Between legal drama and stage jitters, it’s a lot. Moral of the story, even Garth gets the pre-show butterflies.

-----

Taylor Sheridan says if critics are mad, he’s doing his job right. The guy behind Yellowstone is basically trolling reviewers on purpose. He wants them fired up, writing angry think pieces. Because nothing sells like outrage and cowboy drama. Imagine getting paid to annoy people… oh wait, radio.

The List for Wednesday, April 1st 2026

Welcome to The List,

Meghan Markle allegedly thought she could jump the royal line. A new book claims she believed she should be queen next. Said she was smarter, better, and worked harder than Kate. That’s not confidence, that’s skipping the entire family tree.

-----

Two Blackhawk helicopters hovering over Kid Rock’s house raised eyebrows fast. Army pilots got suspended while the investigation played out. Then the Defense Secretary stepped in and shut it down. Suspensions lifted, no punishment, case closed just like that.

-----

Keith Urban might be ready to say a little more. A report claims he felt iced out of Nicole Kidman’s interview. She talked family and life but didn’t mention him once. Now there’s talk he could finally tell his side. Nothing says romance like a possible press tour response.

-----

And if you saw Jason Aldean storm off Colbert… relax. That viral story is completely made up from top to bottom. Wrong show name, bad details, zero credible sources behind it. The internet really said “let’s just create chaos today.” Moral of the story, not everything trending is actually true…I know…surprise right??
