Welcome to The List,

The “Forbes” list of the richest self-made women in America is out.  Pop star Rihanna is the youngest billionaire on the list.  She’s 34 and valued at $1.4 billion.  Other celebrities who made the list include Kim Kardashian ($1.8 billion), Kylie Jenner ($600 million), and Madonna ($575 million).

Scotty McCreery tells People Magazine that he and his wife are ready for their first baby. Saying, “We got a little man on the way. We always knew we wanted kids, but we always knew we wanted to travel and have time on the road, to see things and experience life.  So seems like now’s a good time to settle down a little and expand the family.”

The numbers are staggering, how much will Tom Cruise make on his latest blockbuster?  He could earn up to $90 million for “Top Gun: Maverick”.  The movie has made $1.1 billion at the box office so far and he’s set to earn 10% of Paramount’s cut, not to mention what he’d get from the DVD and streaming release.

It’s International Kissing Day.  So what’s the best country song with the word “kiss” in the title?  An online poll gave the top spot to “This Kiss” by Faith Hill.  The top ten also include “Kiss an Angel Good Mornin'” by Charley Pride . . . “You Shouldn’t Kiss Me Like This” by Toby Keith . . . and “Just a Kiss” by Lady A.

Warner Bros. and Legendary Pictures made some scheduling announcements last week, including the release date for Godzilla vs. Kong 2. The sequel to the acclaimed 2021 monster flick will premiere on March 15, 2023. Of course, there’s plenty of time for more scheduling shakeups between now and then.

When your name is Hank Williams Jr., lets face it, fireworks are small potatoes.  So, Hank celebrated the 4th of July by firing his Civil War canon in his back yard. Being Bocephus’ neighbor has certain expectations. ABC is doing a two-hour live special for Disney’s “Beauty and the Beast” to celebrate its 30th anniversary. Kelsey Grammer said the script for a “Frasier” reboot is almost done saying he cried while reading the first part of it. Yeah,  Sounds hilarious!

The List for Friday, February 6th 2026

Welcome to The List,

Starting off with some royal news, and surprise, it’s awkward again. Reports say things are allegedly tense between King Charles and Prince William. An insider claims there’s real anger on both sides, with William being described as controlled, strategic, and very aware that he’s the future king. Translation for the rest of us. Two strong personalities, one crown, zero compromise.

The Super Bowl is fascinating because everyone watches it, but almost half of America claims they do not care who wins. A reported 47 percent of Americans have no opinion on the outcome. Among those who do care, more are pulling for the Seahawks than the Patriots. And me? I am rooting for a solid cheese dip and no commercials that make me cry.

-----

Luke Combs is sitting out the Madden Bowl concert ahead of the Super Bowl. Why? Because his wife is expecting their third child. Luke posted that family always comes first and apologized for missing the show. That is called priorities. And honestly, Dad mode beats Super Bowl mode every time.

-----

Jelly Roll is giving one of his Grammy Awards to the juvenile detention center where he once spent time. His wife Bunnie Xo says he wants to give the kids a little inspiration. That is not a publicity stunt. That is a full-circle moment. And possibly the most meaningful Grammy flex ever.
