The List for Tuesday, March 7th 2023

Welcome to The List,

There’s a fungus-killing bacteria named after Keanu Reeves because he’s “extremely deadly in his roles.”  during an Ask Me Anything forum on Reddit on Saturday, a user asked Keanu what he thought about it, and he seemed pretty into it.  He said, quote, “They should’ve called it John Wick . . . but that’s pretty cool . . . and surreal for me.  But thanks, scientist people!  Good luck and thank you for helping us.”

It’s pretty obvious from Chris Rock’s Netflix special over the weekend that he hasn’t forgiven Will Smith.  But apparently, Will is trying to make things right. A “source” says,  “He’s tried unsuccessfully to make amends in the best way he could with Chris.  But beyond that, family is important to him and [Smith] leaned on them.” adding that Will feels he has become a better person since then.  Quote, “He is better but still remorseful.”

People have been wondering about a phrase in Chris Janson’s new song “All I Need Is You” it’s the one about “a bigger one on the wall” . . . What’s that about? He says “I think people read too much into things that are very obvious.  “It’s about a bigger fish or a bigger buck, or any kind of wild game. As a hunter and a fisher and a conservationist, we always want the next biggest greatest thing, so that’s where that line came from.”

Another ‘Alien’ movie is in the works…it’ll be the ninth in the franchise.  The press release says of the film. “a group of young people on a distant world [who] find themselves in a confrontation with the most terrifying life form in the universe,”.  The new ‘Alien’ film begins production in Budapest March 9th.

Blake Shelton tells Entertainment Tonight that he has been getting emotional while filming episodes for his final season on “The Voice”. “I don’t think it’s really gonna hit me until the last episode, because when you’re in it, you’re in it.  But there’s been a few moments. I mean, it’s been 23 seasons, 12 years. I met my wife on there. Everything good that could come from something like that, I maxed it out.”

Lastly, more Keanu Reeves news…Giant Freaking Robot says Keanu Reeves was recently doing a Q&A session on Reddit when he said he would like to do a John Wick crossover with Denzel Washington’s franchise, “The Equalizer”. “That would be crazy. Crazy good!” I would agree…

The List for Monday, April 6th 2026

Welcome to The List,

WKRP is finally becoming a real thing after 48 years, and radio people everywhere just felt a chill. The legendary sitcom made Cincinnati famous without even having a real station. Now the actual call letters are being sold, and someone’s bringing WKRP home. Somewhere, turkeys are nervous and DJs are smiling.

-----

Carrie Underwood says the secret to staying sane in fame is faith. She says the industry can make everything about you real fast. Faith keeps her grounded when everything else is trying to lift her too high. So basically, humility is her real number one hit.

-----

Zach Top says a bad round of golf can wreck his whole mood, which feels very relatable. Instead of throwing clubs, he writes songs about it like a classy human. Turns out his sadness already had a soundtrack, his own song “Between the Ditches.” Nothing like turning a bogey into a ballad.

-----

Britney Spears’ life is still headed to the big screen, even with recent drama swirling around her. Universal says they’re in it for the long haul and ready to tell the full story. Apparently, that includes love life chaos, music fame, and everything in between. Somewhere, Justin Timberlake is allegedly pacing and stress-eating popcorn.

The List for Friday, April 3rd 2026

Welcome to The List,

Taylor Swift’s wedding guest list is already causing drama, and we’re not even at the cake yet. Apparently, Kim Kardashian is a hard no after all that Kanye chaos. Sources say Taylor wants zero bad vibes on her big day. Which honestly makes sense, nobody wants awkward small talk at the open bar. Moral of the story, bring a gift… not baggage.

-----

Megan Moroney just proved pre-show routines don’t have to be all zen and candles. She says it’s loud, messy, and basically a backstage sleepover. Music blasting, friends everywhere, chaos level high. Because if it gets too serious, she starts overthinking everything. So yeah, sometimes the best prep is just controlled madness.

-----

Jo Dee Messina is leveling up her tour snacks. Gone are the soda and basic chicken, hello protein everything. We’re talking shakes, bars, Quest chips, hydration. And yes, still a glass of wine because balance matters. Fitness goals…

-----

Julia Roberts might be heading back to rom-com land, and fans are ready. She and Richard Gere have said no to Pretty Woman 2. But a fresh romantic comedy reunion is back on the table. Because sometimes you just need that classic chemistry again.
