The List for Friday, September 1st 2023

Welcome to The List,

Taylor Swift’s concert film, “The Eras Tour”, premieres October 13th at AMC Theatres.  It’s already earned $10 million in ticket presales.  It has so much hype that Universal moved the release of “The Exorcist: Believer” so it doesn’t have to compete.

This summer, a LOT of people got a kick out of the #Barbenheimer meme, which went viral as “Barbie” and “Oppenheimer” opened on the same day. And one of those people was:  Barbera Oppenheimer, a 68-year-old grandma in Massachusetts.  That IS her real name . . .

Famous people with kids will tell you they HAVE to hire nannies because they’re so darn busy.  Well, maybe that’s just an excuse. Luke Combs and his wife are expecting their second child very soon.  He says the plan is to raise the kids without nannies and give them a real home life.  Quote, “I’d rather them be riding bikes than riding a tour bus.”

If I asked you to name the worst job you’ve ever had AND the most boring job you’ve ever had . . . would they be the same?  They were for Jon Pardi.  He punched the timeclock at a grocery store when he was 15 and hated when they “sent him down the aisles to pull cans and turn ’em around.”

Labor Day reminds Nate Smith of his very first job, which was working on an alfalfa field where he moved pipes in the morning to make sure everything got watered properly.  As for Labor Day weekend, he says, quote, “That just means a lot of drinking.  Party on.”

And lastly, Contact Music reports Halle Berry was doing an Instagram chat with fans when she vowed to fight aging…get in line girl!  She says she’s of course aging but she’s going down swingin…

The List for Monday, April 6th 2026

Welcome to The List,

WKRP is finally becoming a real thing after 48 years, and radio people everywhere just felt a chill. The legendary sitcom made Cincinnati famous without even having a real station. Now the actual call letters are being sold, and someone’s bringing WKRP home. Somewhere, turkeys are nervous and DJs are smiling.

-----

Carrie Underwood says the secret to staying sane in fame is faith. She says the industry can make everything about you real fast. Faith keeps her grounded when everything else is trying to lift her too high. So basically, humility is her real number one hit.

-----

Zach Top says a bad round of golf can wreck his whole mood, which feels very relatable. Instead of throwing clubs, he writes songs about it like a classy human. Turns out his sadness already had a soundtrack, his own song “Between the Ditches.” Nothing like turning a bogey into a ballad.

-----

Britney Spears’ life is still headed to the big screen, even with recent drama swirling around her. Universal says they’re in it for the long haul and ready to tell the full story. Apparently, that includes love life chaos, music fame, and everything in between. Somewhere, Justin Timberlake is allegedly pacing and stress-eating popcorn.
