Welcome to The List,
Thomas Rhett may be one of country music’s biggest stars, but his biggest fears are probably pretty similar to yours mentioning that some of his phobias are a bit “strange.” But one that I can relate to!! Spiders! He doesn’t like spiders and roaches…you can keep those too. Something that I wouldn’t have thought, was that he doesn’t like to be in the dark by himself. He usually sleeps with the TV on when sleeping by himself.” All in all, not that strange or uncommon
People love country music for different reasons…Cole Swindell of course loves country music, he makes a living with it but beyond THAT.. “Because it tells a story it makes you feel something whether it’s a fun song getting you through a good time or a sad song getting you through a bad time it always makes me feel something that’s why I love country music.”
Matt Damon talks about letting Ben Affleck crash on his couch being the inspiration for ‘Good Will Hunting” “Instantly became untenable, all of his stuff in our living room. We Were like, we gotta change this. I think that’s what made us work so hard on the screenplay, we had to get out of that apartment.” Matt has a new movie ‘Stillwater’ in theaters Friday.
Bob Odenkirk has been hospitalized. The 58-year-old actor collapsed on the set of Better Call Saul and was rushed to the hospital on Tuesday. Odenkirk remains under medical care. No further update on his condition was shared. Odenkirk was filming on the Sony Lot in Culver City, California, when he fell and crew members called the ambulance, per TMZ who was first to report the news. Odenkirk is currently shooting the sixth and final season of Better Call Saul.

Welcome to The List,
Rumors are flying that Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce have allegedly set a wedding date. A so-called source says the planning is “military-level precise,” which tracks, because Taylor hates surprises and Travis runs NFL playbooks for a living. Pop music, professional football, and Hollywood elite all in one room. Locked down, protected, unforgettable. Basically the most intense group project ever attempted.

Former Bachelor host Chris Harrison is launching a new dating show for people who want a “traditional, marriage-minded partnership built on commitment and shared values.” Which apparently is now considered edgy programming. Somewhere, reality TV just gasped. This is not roses and drama. This is compatibility and emotional maturity.

Before Luke Combs made it big, he had $200 left in his bank account. That money went toward mastering one song, “Hurricane.” He releases it, sells about 10,000 copies the first week, and uses the cash to finish the rest of the album. Then pitches it to labels. And that, kids, is how you bet on yourself and win.

Toby Keith, Kenny Rogers, and Ed Harris are being inducted into the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum. The ceremony happens in April in Oklahoma City. They’re joining legends like George Strait, Brooks & Dunn, Kurt Russell, and Burt Reynolds. That is a hall with serious swagger. Cowboy hats optional. Legends required.
