The List for Thursday, October 17th 2024

Welcome to The List,

Justin Moore says he doesn’t mind people using cell phones at his concerts … “I don’t really care what they do as long as they’re there and they have a great time. If they bought a ticket to be there and that’s their idea of fun then have at it. It doesn’t make any difference. I just want them walking out of there feeling like they got their money’s worth. So, if that’s what they want to do, go for it.”

Henry Winkler is such a big Jelly Roll fan that he wrote him a note telling him that he’s great.  Jelly framed the letter and sent him a video saying, “Thank you.  I’m absolutely honored.  I can’t wait to see you and hopefully give you a hug.  I’m a big hugger.  I’ll squeeze you.”  Imagine getting a FAN note from The Fonz…

Peanut Butter and Onion sandwiches…are YOU a fan?  Liam Hemsworth tells Kelly Clarkson that HE is…Saying He knows it’s weird but,  he blames one of his favorite movies growing up “Little Monsters”  where the main character had one….

Sad news today former One Direction star Liam Payne died yesterday after falling from a three-story balcony at a hotel in Argentina.  There’s no word yet if it was an accident or intentional.  He was 31.

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??
