The List for Tuesday, June 17th 2025

Welcome to The List,

NBC was covering the Army’s big 250th bash, when surprise performer Warren Zeiders hit the stage—and the hosts? Clueless. One said, “I don’t know who this is,” and the other added, “Time for the Google.” Yikes. Country fans everywhere collectively screamed “IT’S WARREN, NOT WALLEN!” He was singing “Ride the Lightning” while the hosts were riding the struggle bus.

Kane Brown just pulled a very Kane Brown move. Dude grabbed a Walmart loudspeaker and straight-up said, “This is Kane Brown—I’m playing y’all my new song!” Mid-intercom concert, an employee rushes over like, “Sir, you can’t Kane here.” But instead of explaining, Kane just BOLTS—full-on supermarket sprint. The whole thing feels staged, but watching him escape like he stole a rotisserie chicken? Comedy gold. Click HERE to see the video.

Brad Pitt says he’s totally open to working with Tom Cruise again—as long as it doesn’t involve dangling off airplanes. He basically said, “If Tom wants to fly, he can fly solo.” Brad’s all about the acting, not the aerial acrobatics. Honestly, same. I don’t even want to hang off a rollercoaster, let alone a plane.

Arnold Schwarzenegger says gym life has changed since his son Patrick starred in White Lotus. He walks in, expecting attention, but now women are like, “Hey big guy, can you give this to your son?” Arnold’s fine with it, though—he says if Patrick outshines him, he’ll die happy. Translation: “I’ll be back…but as the dad of the hot guy.”

In Theaters this weekend: ‘Avatar: Fire and Ash’

Avatar: Fire and Ash picks up after The Way of Water and dives into darker territory, introducing a more aggressive Na’vi tribe tied to fire and volcanic regions. It cranks up the conflict, explores moral gray areas, and shows Pandora is a lot less peaceful than we thought.

The List for Thursday, December 18th 2025

Welcome to The List,

The Oscars are officially breaking up with ABC and moving in with YouTube. Starting in 2029, the Academy Awards will stream on YouTube, along with all the red-carpet chaos, through at least 2033. ABC still gets the show through the 100th Oscars in 2028, but after that, no channel flipping — you’re clicking a link.

Don’t expect to see Michael Bublé back in the spinning chair next season. He says he’s done with The Voice after dealing with online backlash and missing his family. An insider says the negative comments really took a toll, even though he loves the show and the crew. Sometimes the smoothest crooner in the room just wants to go home and be Dad.

Blake Shelton shared the first time he brought Gwen Stefani home to Oklahoma and it blew her mind. Gwen, raised in Anaheim, saw Blake’s land and asked, “You own this?” Then she spotted a creek and said, “You can have that?” She thought rivers only came with national park admission. Blake called it one of the joys of his life. City girl meets country acreage…

Morgan Wallen is now the highest-selling country artist of all time. He just picked up 80 new certifications and officially crossed 240 million units sold. Luke Combs comes in at number two, Garth Brooks at number three. Let that sink in. Skipped awards shows, topped streaming, and now sits on the mountain. Morgan let the numbers do the talking and they did….loudly.
