The List for Monday, November 14th 2022

Welcome to The List,

Here’s a twist….Alec Baldwin wants to make sure it’s on the record that he is NOT responsible for the death of “Rust” cinematographer Halyna Hutchins. And he’s doing that by SUING several crew members who had anything to do with the loaded gun that went off and killed her. One of the reasons Alec is doing this is because HE is being sued by script supervisor Mamie Mitchell, who was also hit by the bullet that discharged from Alec’s gun.

“Black Panther: Wakanda Forever” did about what everyone expected . . . making $180 million in the U.S. in its opening weekend. That’s a record for November, “Black Panther” made $150 million internationally, for a worldwide total of $330 million. The original “Black Panther” made $202 million in the U.S. in its opening weekend back in 2018.

Lainey Wilson has spent her whole life immersed in country music.  But there she was making her acting debut on last night’s “Yellowstone”.  And it looks like she may have a future there too. That’s according to Kelly Reilly, who plays Beth Dutton on the show.  She told Lainey it looked like she had been “doing it forever”. She did very well, I watched the two-hour season premier and all I can say is … wow…it’s going to be a good season…

Congratulations to Dolly Parton she was awarded $100 million as the recipient of Jeff Bezos’ 2022 Courage and Civility Award.  The money will be donated to organizations of her choice.  She said, quote, “When people are in a position to help, you should help.  I try to put my money where my heart is and will do good things with this.”

—–

The new Godzilla, King Kong movie has a new title… sort of…Now, it’s called Godzilla AND Kong…because now they’re friends.  To be fair, this title hasn’t been officially announced yet; so it’s always possible the movie will actually end up being called Godzilla Or Kong, or Godzilla But Kong.  Still, the whole “And” thing does tie into the already released synopsis for the film, which states that it pits “the almighty Kong *and* the fearsome Godzilla against a colossal undiscovered threat hidden within our world.”…We’re holding our breath….

—–

Parties are already being scheduled for spring of next year…it’s confirmed that Kenny Chesney, Shania Twain, Eric Church, Carly Pearce, Jake Owen, and Brett Young are some of the acts performing at next year’s Tortuga Music Festival.  It’s going down April 14th through the 16th in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

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??
