The List for Monday, December 19th 2022

Welcome to The List,

Eli Young Band’s Mike Eli speaks up about the one and ONLY thing he just HATES about the Christmas holiday….the glitter … “I live in a house full of girls and they like glitter and that’s just one of those things that is a part of the holidays. For better or for worse, when glitter starts floating around, I kind of give a little eye roll to Christmas. Because that is the only thing that I don’t like about Christmas is glitter.” Adding, it takes six to seven months before you ever get rid of all of it.

The world was shocked to learn the news of Kirstie Alley’s death, a couple weeks ago. Not long after, the 71-year-old actress’ representatives confirmed her cause of death was colon cancer, which she had secretly battled for a while. The rep revealed the type of cancer to PEOPLE on Tuesday morning; Alley’s children, True and Lillie Parker, had previously announced that she had “only recently discovered” the cancer.

Thomas Rhett tells E! News that he gets the best feedback from his family. He says “Family is the one who is going to tell you if the song [stinks] or not … whether they come over to the house to swim or we’re going to the farm to hang out, my brothers-in-law are big about, ‘Play me the new stuff! Keep playing these songs.'”

Jackson Dean tells Songwriter Universe magazine that his hit “Don’t Come Lookin’” started from NOTHING literally.  The song didn’t have any lyrics at all.  It had the stomp and the attitude but no words, as it turns out…it was something he used to say to his mom before he left the house for a couple of days or go out in the woods for a little while. She would say, ‘Stay within earshot or stay alive no matter what occurs.’ I’d go, ‘Momma, if I don’t come back, don’t come looking for me.’ It was one of those where it came together.”

TMZ says Sharon Osbourn recently fell ill while taping a TV show in Santa Paula, California. She was then transported to a local medical facility for treatment before being released. Sharon and her team have not made a statement on what the medical emergency was.  But over the weekend her son Jack posted that SHE will post to what  happend when she’s ready.

Ace Showbiz says Kate Hudson gave the gift of astrology for Christmas last year. She says, she gave everybody in her family their year in astrology. She gave them crystals; and gave them all a piece of jewelry they could wear that was very specific to them, and had someone give them each an astrological reading.”

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??
