The List for Monday, August 2nd 2021

Welcome to The List,

Life & Style Weekly Magazine claims Blake Shelton is begging Gwen Stefani to move to Oklahoma. A source tells the magazine, “Most of Gwen’s work is based in L.A., and it’s close to Las Vegas, where her residency is starting up again this Fall. Plus, her family is in Cali. As much as she loves the country, Hollywood is her true home…uh oh….

Yahoo News says Brett Young and his wife, Taylor, are the proud parents of a new baby girl named Rowan Marie.  Brett says, he wanted a boy. “I think all men initially think they just want boys. But our across the street neighbors, we went over for, like, a play date, and we had just found out Taylor was pregnant again, but we didn’t know if it was gonna be a boy or a girl yet. And, their oldest daughter and my nine month-old daughter just sat on the couch very chill, hanging out, while the two boys chased each other around the coffee table for two hours straight and never stopped screaming and throwing things at each other. In my head, I was like, ‘Oh God, I hope the second one’s a girl!'”

Ok, ladies here comes “The Voice” are you ready? Vin Diesel used to be a breakdancer…kinda like being country before it was cool..here he explains it to Kelly Clarkson “Like in 1982 before MTV started using dancers, that’s when I was breakdancing. I remember talking to my buddies and saying, we’ve gotta transition if we’re going to make any money.  We’ll have to transition into Hip Hop”.

Last week on The List we reported that ”Better Call Saul” star Bob Odenkirk fell while on the set and 911 was called.  Today we find that he suffered a heart attack.  Odenkirk took to twitter to let us all know he is recovering well and that he’s taking some time to rest and will be back soon.  Apparently there was a blockage in his heart and they were able to fix it without surgery..We wish him a speedy recovery….

The List for Thursday, March 26th 2026

Welcome to The List,

Hookup shows come and go. Paychecks apparently stay forever. Taylor Frankie Paul will still get her full Bachelorette salary. TMZ says the payday lands in the low to mid six figures. The season got shelved after that viral domestic violence video resurfaced. Reality TV motto. Love fades. Direct deposit survives.

-----

Some guys jog. Some guys apparently brawl with neighbors. “Reacher” star Alan Ritchson reportedly got into a physical altercation. Sources say intense behavior is kind of his brand at this point. He doesn’t think he crossed a line. Neither does the authorities,

-----

Country star meets horsepower. This feels aggressively on brand. Darius Rucker is now a NASCAR Cup Series team owner. He invested in Legacy Motor Club which competes at the top level. From singing about wagons to literally owning fast cars. That is what we call career acceleration.

-----

If you like free music. Nashville just planned your summer. CMA Fest announced around 150 artists for daytime stages. Names include Ernest, Melissa Etheridge, Tucker Wetmore, more. The free shows run June fourth through seventh downtown. Wallet stays full. Voice will absolutely not.

The List for Wednesday, March 25th 2026

Welcome to The List,

Ella Langley is getting ready to drop album number two. She says Dandelion will hit fans deeper than anything she’s done before. You can vibe casually… or go full lyric detective mode. She even compared the songwriting layers to Fleetwood Mac. Mark April tenth. Sad girl spring incoming.

-----

Reacher star Alan Ritchson just lived his own action scene. Police say he will not face charges after a street fight. Bodycam shows a neighbor approaching while he sat on his motorcycle. Things escalated and Alan reportedly defended himself pretty aggressively. Moral of the story. Do not poke action heroes.

-----

American Idol judges have some… very specific pre-show rituals. Lionel Richie takes a spoonful of olive oil. Yes really. Luke Bryan snacks on ranch and carrots like a chaotic toddler. Carrie Underwood crochets backstage to stay calm and focused. Somewhere Simon Cowell just rolled his eyes.

-----

The Yellowstone universe keeps getting bigger than a Montana sky. A new spin-off called Dutton Ranch is officially on the way. There’s talk fans might finally see Beth and Kayce reunite. Execs say scheduling two productions is the biggest challenge. Premiere date May fifteenth. Cancel your plans now.
