The List for Tuesday, December 7th 2021

Welcome to The List,

A new trailer for the “Harry Potter 20th Anniversary: Return to Hogwarts” special, has been  released. The new look features Emma Watson, Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint and many more are expected to take part in the special that will “celebrate the legacy of the Harry Potter film franchise and its impact on families and fans around the world,” which will debut on HBO Max on Jan. 1.

Colin Farrell has agreed to play the Batman villain Oswald Cobblepot, also known as The Penguin, in a new HBO Max series. The show will be a spin-off of the upcoming The Batman movie, starring Robert Pattinson as the caped crusader. The Penguin series would follow the character’s rise to power in Gotham’s criminal underworld. Which I thought they did that with the Fox TV show “Gotham”.

Lauren Alaina can now add “Author” to her ever expanding list of things she’s just great at…TODAY Lauren releases her book ‘Getting Good At Being You.’  Saying THIS is the book she wished she had when she was 16. and hopes that her words can help at least one person out there who is struggling, and for them to know they are not alone. Saying about writing a book vs a song…’it’s being vulnerable in a completely different way.”

 Lauren is also climbing the country music chart with Jon Pardi and their song “Getting Over Him” – which is from her album, Sitting Pretty On Top Of The World…

Blake Shelton was doing an interview with Ellen yesterday when he revealed that he is stockpiling Christmas gifts for Gwen Stefani so he won’t feel guilty. He’s worried that Gwen will break their agreement to not buy anything for each other this Christmas…soooo..he’s gonna do it first.

The List for Monday, March 23rd 2026

Welcome to The List,

Keith Urban is officially boarding the yacht rock cruise. The country star says a full covers album is coming. It will feature classic yacht rock songs and only one original track. He even teased fans with a smooth cover of Stephen Bishop’s “On and On.” No release date yet. But apparently Keith brought boat shoes.

-----

ABC may be ready to dump The Bachelorette for good. Insiders claim executives now call the franchise “toxic.” Critics say the show stopped being about love and started chasing messy drama. Ratings have been sliding for years. The big question inside ABC now is simple. Is it finally time to pull the plug.

-----

Travis Kelce is apparently running an investigation. Someone has been leaking details about his wedding plans with Taylor Swift. Sources say Travis is trying to figure out who is talking. He is also trying to keep Taylor calm about the chaos. Because nothing says romance like a celebrity leak hunt.

-----

Luke Combs just turned Las Vegas into a country concert record book. His show at Allegiant Stadium pulled in 70,921 fans. That breaks the stadium record previously set by a massive boxing match. Country music just beat prize fighting in Vegas. Luke Combs basically threw the knockout punch.
