The List for Tuesday, August 9th 2022

Welcome to The List,

Olivia Newton-John died yesterday morning, after a 30-year on-and-off battle with cancer.  After 25 years in remission, she announced in 2017 that it had spread to her lower back. Since her diagnosis, she helped raise hundreds of millions of dollars through the Olivia Newton-John Cancer and Wellness Centre.  Olivia was born in England, but raised in Melbourne, Australia. She was 73.

Keith Urban shared a video of himself before a concert driving a drift kart around the venue.  He’s having so much fun that pouring rain doesn’t slow him down.  He captioned it, “While you are tailgating outside the venue.”

—–

Kanye celebrated the breakup of Kim Kardashian and Pete Davidson in a now-deleted post.  It was a fake newspaper that said, quote, “Pete Davidson dead at age 28.”  He apparently took it down because it made Kim pretty upset. Twitter’s suggestions of who Pete Davidson should date next include Queen Elizabeth, Oprah, maybe a Minion.

—–

Carrie Underwood came out of the audience last Saturday to help a Tom Petty cover band do “Stop Draggin’ My Heart Around”.  It was at a place called Fox & Locke in Leiper’s Fork, Tennessee.

—–

TMZ is reporting that Anne Heche is fighting for her life, currently in a coma and dealing with significant injuries in the wake of driving her car through a home in Los Angeles.  She has a significant pulmonary injury requiring mechanical ventilation and burns that require surgical intervention.”  Police  believe Heche was under the influence of drugs and/or alcohol when she committed at least 2 hit-and-runs before barreling through a home, igniting a massive blaze.

Alabama donated $25,000 to the flood relief efforts underway in Kentucky.  They did a show in Sharpsburg, Kentucky on Saturday and presented a check to The Foundation for Appalachian Kentucky . . . a non-profit that provides assistance to Kentucky families and businesses.

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??
