The List for Thursday, January 22nd 2026

Welcome to The List,

Carrie Underwood is back at the judges’ table on American Idol, and she says season two feels way better than season one. Carrie told Music Mayhem she’s more confident now and no longer worries about whether she’ll have anything to say. She says once you’re actually in the chair, you figure out what kind of judge you are.

Ella Langley is absolutely not slowing down. After teasing that a full album is coming this year, fans noticed a countdown clock appear on her website once they signed up for updates. That clock hits zero on Tuesday. This all comes right after Choosin’ Texas hit number one on the Hot Country Songs chart. Ella thanked fans for the love and said they’re blowing her away every single day. Luke Combs used a countdown to announce a new album… so yeah, all signs point to something big.

Mystery solved. William Shatner was not just casually eating cereal behind the wheel. It turns out the photo was part of a Super Bowl commercial for Kellogg’s. Shatner says it’s one of the silliest photos he’s ever taken, and the actual commercial will feature him inside a spaceship. Other Super Bowl ads to watch for include Post Malone, Shane Gillis, and Peyton Manning returning as Bud Light’s “Big Men on the Cul-de-Sac,” this time headed to a wedding with a keg. Priorities.

Disney’s live-action Snow White and the War of the Worlds reboot are tied for the most Razzie nominations this year, with six each, including Worst Picture. The Razzie winners will be announced March 14, the night before the Oscars. Because Hollywood loves balance.

The List for Thursday, March 19th 2026

Welcome to The List…

Hollywood’s biggest fear is officially here. Dead actors… still booking roles. A new movie is using A.I. to bring Val Kilmer back. Yeah. From the grave… straight to the premiere. The director says Val wanted this. His family signed off too. Which is great… until your Netflix suggestions start haunting you. Somewhere an Oscar just felt uncomfortable.

-----

Tom Brady says he wears a disguise to his kids’ games. Not kidding. Hoodie. Hat. Full undercover quarterback mode. Apparently the kids don’t want attention on them because… you know… their dad is TOM BRADY. Imagine trying to sneak into a gym when you’re built like a superhero statue. Sir… we still know it’s you.

-----

Rumor is Keith Urban might be going through a midlife crisis after the split. Sources say he wants to live the single life again. Totally different person now. Which honestly just sounds like every guy who suddenly discovers energy drinks and fitted jeans. Next step is obvious. Corvette. New Balance. Bluetooth headset.

-----

Kenny Chesney just launched his own record label. Big move. Real boss energy. It’s named after his boat… because of course it is. And the first artist he signed…drumroll… Kenny Chesney. Man skipped the middleman and hired himself. HR meeting must be real smooth.
