The List for Tuesday, May 2nd 2023

Welcome to The List,

How did YOU get introduced to music…the first song that struck a chord in you that you heard on the radio..maybe that first cassette tape? Hardy tells Substream magazine that his father introduced him to the world of music. “We were in my hometown of Philadelphia, Mississippi and he had a cassette and he said Hey son, check this out this is a band called Pearl Jam,”  “He put it in and ‘Alive’ started playing. I swear man it was something from a movie, that guitar that came in changed my life forever.”…Pearl Jam, man I feel old…

Access Hollywood says Blake Shelton is getting a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on Friday, May 12th. Gwen Stefani and Carson Daly will make speeches before Blake gets his star.

We’re heading into wedding season.  According to The Knot, they mostly happen between May and November.  And if you’re the one GETTING married, here’s some inspiration:  TasteOfCountry.com ranked the Top 40 best country songs for a first dance.  Here are the top three are “In Case You Didn’t Know” by Brett Young, “Die a Happy Man” by Thomas Rhett and at number one.. “When You Say Nothing at All” by Alison Krauss.

Kane Brown’s current tour will keep him on the road through the summer.  When it wraps, he’s going to take some time off to hang with his family and dip his toes a little further into the acting thing. Saying “Taking a couple months off, I don’t know what I’m going to do but whatever’s there I’m going to try to pursue it.” They just bought a house in Florida and his girls had their first time on the beach…

A couple different faces on this Sunday’s American Idol.  Alanis Morrissette and Ed Sheeran will replace Katy Perry and Lionel Richie. Because THEY will be in England performing at King Charles the Third’s Coronation Concert.

Stop the presses!!  Cher and her 37-year-old boyfriend broke up.  No word on why, but they split a few weeks ago…rumors are he was bleeding her dry….

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??
