The List for Thursday, February 16th 2023

Welcome to The List,

We start with sad news today…One of the greatest sex symbols of all time is no more.  Raquel Welch passed away yesterday. .  There’s no word yet on the cause of death. Raquel’s big break was the 1966 sci-fi classic “Fantastic Voyage”.  That same year, she wore her iconic animal skin bikini as the cavewoman Loana in the 1966 prehistoric classic “One Million Years B.C. It was even promoted as “Mankind’s first bikini.”  Raquel Welch was 82.

For the first time ever, adults in the U.S. will spend more time watching digital content on platforms like Netflix, TikTok, and YouTube, than traditional TV. “Linear TV” in 2023 will average under three hours a day . . . Netflix and YouTube are leading the way when it comes to digital video viewing.  People are watching about 33 minutes of each per day..We even Tic Tok more…Gone are the days of “Gunsmoke”.

Lindsay Ell was recently diagnosed with an eating disorder.  She’s been in denial about it for a long time, because she didn’t LOOK like someone who was sick.  But when it started “taking over her life” she knew it was time to confront it. She’s sharing her journey with fans in hopes that her experience can help someone else . . . just as other stories helped her.

“You, Me, And Whiskey” ..Is a great song from Justin Moore and Priscilla Block.  They just released the video for the song and Justin says it’s pretty spicy. “It’s definitely the spiciest, sexiest, most sultry, whatever you wanna say, video that we’ve done. And in talking to our team about what we wanted the video to look like, it just kind of lent itself to that, to me, and we haven’t done that. And so I thought it was kind of cool, and I didn’t have to take my clothes off and get in bed, so that’s even better. It wouldn’t be that had I had to.” which is why he hired two actors to play the married couple.

The new trailer for Disney’s live-action “The Little Mermaid” is out.  There’s a glimpse of Melissa McCarthy as Ursula at the end.  It hits theaters on May 26th, you can see it here…

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??
