The List for Thursday, December 22nd 2022

Welcome to The List,

Jelly Roll tells Entertainment Focus Magazine that inspiration for a song can come from anywhere.  If the magic isn’t there, you could have three of the best songwriters in the world together and if the magic isn’t there it just won’t happen.  But when it does, it could be 4 in the morning or my wife and I could be in the middle of a serious talk and she’ll get mad at me because I’ll go “Man, that would make a good song or song title!’ And I’ll reach for my phone to make a note of it!”

Well, its official! After sharing a snippet of the song a few weeks ago, Shania Twain’s “Giddy Up” has a release date! The track is the opening number from her forthcoming sixth album ‘Queen of Me’, due February 2023, which features the single Waking Up Dreaming. The award winner will also be going on her upcoming world tour kicking off in April 2023 in Spokane Washington.

ContactMusic.com says James Cameron is thinking about rebooting the ‘Terminator’ franchise. He says, “If I were to do another ‘Terminator’ film and maybe try to launch that franchise again, which is in discussion, but nothing has been decided, I would make it much more about the AI side of it than bad robots gone crazy.”

Morgan Wallen is ready for a new era. The country music superstar has been teasing new music all year, on the heels of his record breaking “Dangerous” album. Finally, fans are getting a glimpse of new music that will continue his “One Thing At A Time (Sampler)” The CMA nominee took to Instagram yesterday to share some intimate moments from the studio! Plus, Wallen’s young son Indigo seemed to be taking in the fun!  There has been no set date on an album release, however with the 2023 world tour approaching, we can guess soon!

Tori Spelling is in the hospital after she came down with a mysterious illness. The Beverly Hills, 90210 alum revealed in a since-deleted Instagram Story Wednesday that she was hospitalized Tuesday night after she began experiencing a variety of symptoms, including difficulty breathing. She explained that she was “low on oxygen” and began having a “hard time breathing, [with] high blood pressure and crazy dizziness.” However, Spelling shared that she hadn’t yet received a diagnosis and doctors were “running a battery of tests.”

And finally, Well, there’s ONE person that’s gonna make bank after the holiday season!! Mediaconfidential.Blogspot.com says Mariah Carey will earn over $1.5 million from her song ‘All I Want For Christmas Is You’. Billboard estimates Mariah’s royalties at $1.55 million from all of the airplay and downloads…It’s good to be the queen…

The List for Tuesday, February 10th 2026

Welcome to The List,

Will there be another Austin Powers? Rumors say Mike Myers is turning down massive offers to bring the franchise back. Sources claim he does not need the money, already made tens of millions, and still cashes in every Halloween. Apparently he is focused on dad life instead of shagadelic life. So no, baby… he is not desperate.

-----

Cody Johnson just confirmed he and Luke Combs finally cut a song together. Fans have been waiting years for this bromance to hit the studio. They toured Australia and New Zealand together, and now the friendship is officially on vinyl. And that is not all. Cody also says there is a track with Brothers Osborne on the new album. That record is about to be stacked.

-----

Ella Langley just hit number one on the all-genre Hot 100 with “Choosin’ Texas.”

That puts her in elite company with legends like Dolly Parton, Carrie Underwood, Taylor Swift, Kacey Musgraves, Jeannie C. Riley, and Beyoncé. She is also reportedly the first female artist to hold number one on Hot Country Songs, Country Airplay, and the Hot 100 at the same time. Released October 7th and it has been sprinting ever since. That is not just a hit. That is a takeover.

-----

And speaking of Taylor Swift, betting sites say there is a 50 percent chance her childhood friend Abigail Anderson is Maid of Honor. They also give a 25 percent chance that Vera Wang designs the dress. We are now gambling on bridal parties. This wedding might need its own sportsbook. Only in 2026, folks.
