Welcome to The List,
Everyone from time to time needs their space….Aaron Rodgers is no different. He’s reportedly doing a four-day darkness retreat to decide his future in the NFL. He’ll be in complete isolation four days of sensory deprivation, so no TV or music. But yes, he IS going to continue to play football.

In case you missed it, Ashton Kutcher and Reese Witherspoon had their red-carpet premiere for their upcoming Netflix movie, “Your Place or Mine”. And the photos are, well, AWKWARD. Ashton and Reese kept their distance and just stood side-by-side; Ashton wanted to avoid affair rumors. The rumor is we don’t like each other.” When in fact Reese and I are really good friends. We’re really close. I don’t have to defend that.”

Zach Bryan’s Twitter account mysteriously disappeared on Monday, and nobody knows why. This is a guy who loves Tweeting out his opinions and hot takes. He could be pulling a Taylor Swift, she wiped her social media before rolling out new music a few years ago. Whatever the reason, the timing is weird because he’s got a lot going on. “Something in the Orange” is a massive hit . . . his Burn, Burn, Burn tour is about to start . . . and his beloved Philadelphia Eagles are in the Super Bowl.

Maybe you saw it yesterday on social media, Luke Combs unveiling the track list to his new album “Gettin’ Old”. He had a hand in writing most of the tracks, but it also includes his cover of the Tracy Chapman classic “Fast Car”, “Gettin’ Old” is out March 24th.

The next Mission Impossible movie has been put on hold so Tom Cruise can attend King Charles’ coronation May 6th. ”Tom has been invited and there is no way he would have ever turned it down. It shocked some people on the film, because Tom is so dedicated and normally wouldn’t deviate from his intense production schedules. But something as important as King Charles’s Coronation is something he would not want to miss out on.

Welcome to The List,
Taylor Swift has officially entered her glittery legal era again. A Las Vegas performer says Taylor’s use of “The Life Of A Showgirl” is stomping all over her own brand, “Confessions of a Showgirl.” She’s suing for trademark infringement, wants damages, and an injunction too.

Only Kid Rock could turn a poolside salute into a military investigation. The Army says two Blackhawk helicopters near his Tennessee mansion were just on a Nashville training route, but now they’re checking into why they hovered there. Kid says nobody’s getting in trouble and called it pretty neat. Nothing says casual Tuesday like cannonballs, patriotism, and two black helicopters hovering near your house…

Riley Green is stacking side quests like a pro. He’s making his TV debut on Marshals in mid-April. And because sleep is for other people, he’s also reportedly opening a second Duck Blind bar in Gatlinburg. At this point Riley’s building a country music cinematic universe.

Thomas Rhett says one of his favorite parts of touring is trying wild new foods on the road, which sounds adventurous and expensive. Meanwhile Dylan Scott keeps it a little more backyard chaos at home, admitting he’ll wander into the kitchen at midnight and cook a full meal like it’s noon. His wife wakes up confused; he’s making dinner round two. That’s not a snack, that’s a second shift.
