The List for Thursday, May 26th 2022

Welcome to The List,

Eric Church talks about Celebrating Our Freedom and the people that provide those freedoms … “I’m very proud that we have the soldiers. I know there are a lot of other countries out there in the world that don’t want to live the way we do, and that’s fine, they can keep living the way they are, but I’m very proud of it. I think that’s a time to celebrate being proud to be an American and celebrate those freedoms…and celebrate the people that are over fighting for those freedoms” Adding it’s the soldiers he comes in contact with on the road, the ability to make the music he makes and to say what he wants to say.

Ellen’s final show today will be filled with tears and joy. Ellen tells The Hollywood Reporter, “It’s funny because the last couple of months I was more emotional than I was in the last week or two. She got really emotional about two months out, but that last week she just really wanted to enjoy it.

Luke Combs tells CMT that he’s getting nervous about the birth of his baby. “I’m a little nervous. You got a lot of stuff to do. I got a lot on my plate that I don’t even realize is on there yet. I’m uncovering things every day; I’m buying all kind of clothes I didn’t know existed. I mean, I just just learned what a bassinet was. Do you know if Columbia carries a newborn line?”

Tom Cruise tells Bella magazine that he hasn’t taken a day off in 40 years. “I’m just chillin’ now. I don’t have days off. Look, I’m fortunate, I’m lucky. I’ve spent my life on movie sets and travelling the world, which is what I always wanted to do. So this is not work – I’m living the dream.”

Josh Turner Is Ready For Summer … “I have a nice boat that I got a couple of years ago. I have it set up for saltwater and fresh water. I’m not much of a water skier. My legs are too skinny for that, but I just try to tube and have fun and just ride”

Madonna is auditioning new boyfriends. A source says she has zero interest in dating someone her age. What she wants is a hard-bodied, hot guy in his late twenties – someone who can keep up with her. She has requested that her team find her a handful of options – after signing a watertight NDA, of course.

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.
