The List for Monday, February 5th 2023

Welcome to The List,

What’s good for Dolly….well, is good for Carrie!!! Carrie Underwood may record a rock album. Wide Open Country quotes her as saying, “I mean, you never really know with me. I think, more than anything. I love going to rock concerts because it feels like freedom to me.”

Entertainment Tonight says Megan Fox attended several Grammy’s parties with Machine Gun Kelly even though she had a concussion and a broken wrist. She did not say how she suffered the injuries. We CAN say for sure…it didn’t come from a Transformers movie…

—–

Jordan Davis tells CMT that he tries to live his life by a movie quote. Saying “One of the deepest movie quotes I ever heard was from “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off.” It was “Life moves pretty fast. If you don’t stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.” I think we all need to slow down every once in a while, and appreciate the world around us and the people in it.”

Fox News says Mark Hamill is signing Star Wars posters to benefit the Ukraine. He says the money is going to help the country in their fight against Russia. Saying “They’re for real hardcore collectors — especially those that have disposable income — you can get way more money … than you would imagine.” I guess the $113 – Billion the U.S. Government has given Ukrain already just isn’t cutting it.

—–

Shania Twain’s favorite job before becoming a country star?. She tells Entertainment Tonight, “I worked at McDonald’s in several departments, but I loved the drive-thru. I always love, like, ‘Welcome to McDonald’s, can I take your order please?

—–

And we end with some movie news….M. Night Shyamalan’s “Knock at the Cabin” overtook “Avatar: The Way of Water” at the box office with a $14.2 million opening which at least $12 of that is mine. We saw the movie over the weekend and it was better than I thought it was going to be…Ridley Scott’s “Gladiator” sequel will hit theaters in 2024…Woody Harrelson will host “Saturday Night Live” on February 25th with musical guest Jack White.

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??
