The List for Tuesday, February 21st 2023

Welcome to The List,

Four former presidents of the United States are going into space later this year . . . or at least parts of them are. Hair samples from George Washington, JFK, Dwight Eisenhower, and Ronald Reagan will be shot into space by Celestis, a company that specializes in blasting human remains into space. They’ll share the ride with a hair sample from “Star Trek” star DeForest Kelley . . . and the ashes of his co-star Nichelle Nichols….why?  Because they’re Hollywood and it doesn’t take a lot to send stuff into space on a model rocket...

Have you even made it in country music, if you haven’t been given a nickname?  A list of the best nicknames in country music includes “King George” for George Strait, “Chief” for Eric Church, and “Toad” for Blake Shelton.  Others include, Big Dog Daddy: Toby Keith, Possum:  George Jones and Duckman: Riley Green…

Jimmie Allen talks to Sherri Shepherd on her show about why he would never sing the National Anthem at the Super Bowl.  “I am a country artist ok?  Let alone I am a BLACK country artist, if I mess up the National Anthem…I am DONE, I better get a new career!!” He would rather learn sign language and sign it…

The NY Post says a firearm enhancement charge against Alec Baldwin has been dropped. He is accused of shooting cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the set of their movie “Rust”. The dropping of the charge means Alec now faces a maximum of 18 months in prison for manslaughter.  He was facing five years, if convicted, Apparently the charge they initially filed wasn’t on the books when the incident happened…

Luke Bryan and Lionel Richie were brought to tears by 18-year-old Iam Tongi as the aspiring artist brought a heart-wrenching tribute to his late father to the Season 21 premiere of American Idol Sunday. Tongi himself got emotional as he introduced himself to Bryan, Richie and Katy Perry during his audition, revealing his father was the one who taught him everything he knows about music. If you didn’t see it live…you can see it here…I’ll warn ya, I had to stop the video after only a couple minutes….

Kane Brown tells Music Mayhem magazine that there’s nothing better than being a girl dad. “My girls are my world. I love being a girl dad. I’m gonna make sure they have everything to succeed in life. Those girls are my world.”

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??
