The List for Wednesday, May 11th 2022

Welcome to The List,

Starting to feel a little more summertime and a lot less springtime…before you know it we’ll be singing along with Thomas Rhett’s hit song “Slow Down Summer”. Not trying to rush anything but how did that song come about?  “We were on a trip to Montana, and we were sitting in this house just staring out into this field and we noticed that the leaves were changing, and it was getting cooler outside. I was like, man I wish summer would just slow down.” Thomas’s ‘Bring the Bar To You Tour’ with opening acts Parker Mccollum and Conner Smith is on the road and will be in Moline. IL October 13th. But if you can’t wait that long you can ALWAYS head to Nashville and the CMA Music Festival this summer.

Ellen’s series finale will air on Thursday, May 26th. Between now and then, she will interview a slew of A listers including Zac Efron, Kate McKinnon, Justin Timberlake, Keith Urban, Sean “Diddy” Combs, Luke Bryan, , Brad Paisley, just to name a few.  The Daily Mail says Jennifer Aniston is going to be Ellen’s final guest

Hockey fan Dierks Bentley had an amazing moment this week when the NHL’s Stanley Cup happened to drop by for a visit to his house. Dierks not only got to experience this – but he got to introduce the cup to his daughters Evie, and Jordan…and his very surprised son, Knox. The beers might be on Dierks Bentley, Breland and Hardy – but we don’t think they’ll be drinking them out of the Stanley Cup.

Miranda Lambert and Elle King are going to perform at the Billboard Music Awards on Sunday night on NBC…If you’ve seen Keith Urban on stage you may have noticed how HARD he works…well he says it’s because he still feels he has to prove himself doing whatever it takes to get the crowd going.

Mandy Moore talk to Jimmy Fallon about some of the things SHE took from the ‘This Is Us’ set on the last day of filming. “I took the Stealers jersey from the Superbowl episode, I took my wedding ring. My characters wedding ring.” Only 2 episodes left…the series finally airs May 24th on NBC.

A number of the stars from Scream (2021) are officially returning for a new sequel. Deadline reports that Melissa Barrera (Sam), Jenna Ortega (Tara), Jasmin Savoy Brown (Mindy), and Mason Gooding (Chad) will all return for Scream 6.

The List for Thursday, August 7th 2025

Welcome to The List,

In a desperate bid to stay relevant, Blake Lively is reportedly terrified she’s about to become the next track on Taylor Swift’s breakup album  and not the love song kind. Sources say their friendship fizzled after Blake’s legal mess with Justin Baldoni… and now Taylor’s ghosting her! Blake’s smart enough to know when Swift goes silent, a savage rhyme is on the way.

-----

MTV just remembered country music exists! They've slapped a shiny new “Country Category” on the VMAs, and the nominees are stacked: Chris Stapleton, Cody Johnson, Carrie Underwood, Jelly Roll, Lainey Wilson, Megan Moroney, and Morgan Wallen. Took ‘em long enough… but hey, we’ll take the boots on the moonwalk!

-----

Post Malone’s stalker is back for the fifth time. Cherish Gomer, clearly not cherishing boundaries, was arrested after literally jumping in front of Posty’s car like it was the final scene of a rom-com. His driver had to swerve just to avoid turning her into roadkill. Someone get this girl a restraining order and a therapist!

-----

In the most Ozzy Osbourne thing ever… the flowers fans are leaving at his memorial in Birmingham? Yeah, those are gonna be mulched and scattered by his future gravesite. It’s giving “ashes to ashes, petals to compost.” Honestly, it’s poetic... and so metal.

The List for Wednesday, August 6th 2025

Welcome to The List,

The 2025 MTV Video Music Awards are coming this September and guess who's leading the pack? Lady Gaga with 12 nominations! Bruno Mars slides in with 11, and Kendrick Lamar’s got 10. And Beyoncé? She's only up for Entertainer of the Year… and not a single other category. Bold move, MTV. Watch the chaos unfold September 7th on CBS and MTV.

-----

Hold up country music has officially been shaken... Carrie Underwood is no longer blonde. I repeat Carrie is now a brunette. She posted a pic saying, “Last time I saw my natural color, I was 12.” Now she’s giving it another shot, and social media is absolutely here for it. Carrie, welcome to the dark side.

-----

Demi Moore is on a mission and no, it’s not another rom-com. She’s allegedly lobbying for Bruce Willis to get an honorary Oscar. Because let’s be real Die Hard is cinema history AND a Christmas movie. She wants him recognized while he can still accept it himself. The Academy’s dragging their feet, but Demi? She's not letting Bruce’s legacy go quietly.

-----

If you’ve ever dreamed of day drinking with Dolly Parton your weird little dream just came true. Dolly Wines now has a spot at Assembly Food Hall in Nashville. That’s right grab a glass, raise a toast, and celebrate the Queen of Country in her own hometown. Pinkies up, Dolly style.
