The List for Wednesday, December 22nd 2021

Welcome to The List,

Today on The List we celebrate favorite Christmas presents…I think MY favorite was waking up in the morning to a room FULL of toys and for one day I didn’t have to clean up my mess… But Brantley Gilbert? He got a new best friend…“The best gift I ever received as a child, I still gotta say, I think I was in third grade, and I got a miniature dachshund. My parents got me a dog, and that little dude was my best friend for eight years. His name was Max, and he was one of the best dogs ever. So that’s probably my best Christmas memory”

The Spice girls could soon be piling back into their infamous double decker bus for a Spice Girls reunion tour. Just two years after the beloved ’90s girl group reunited, minus Beckham, for a brief tour, Sporty Spice herself teased the possibility of yet another reunion, revealing that she and her former bandmates are “constantly” talking about another tour. But, it won’t happen any time soon…but if it did they say a World Tour would happen in 2023. Tell me whatcha want…what cha really, really want…..a Spice Girls reunion tour…

Florida Georgia Line’s Brian Kelley On His Best Christmas Present … “My best Christmas gift I ever received, probably as a child, had to be my G.I. Joe command post. It was basically like a big old castle, a fortress. I woke up on Christmas morning, it was all set up, had all the G.I. Joes, all the players, and it was incredible. I had a wonderful day playing with all my friends, and nothing like a good G.I. Joe as a child. It made for a very memorable experience”

Would you mistake Ryan Reynolds for Ben Affleck?  Well it happens almost every time Ryan walks into this New York pizzeria.  Ryan says “They believe I’m Ben Affleck and I’ve never corrected them. I feel it would not go over well if I revealed. I do everything normal like everybody else. ‘They’ll ask how J.Lo is and I’m like, “Great, good.” I get the pizza and off I go.” How could you ever mistake Batman for Deadpool….

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.
