The List for Wednesday, November 16th 2022

Welcome to The List,

Jay Leno told TMZ how he lit his face on fire.  He was fixing a clogged fuel line on a “Steam Car” and accidentally sprayed gasoline on his face and hands . . . and at the same time, a spark triggered an explosion that lit him up. Jay says a friend quickly jumped on him and smothered the flames, but he still suffered third-degree burns on his face and hands.  He might need skin grafts and is still in the hospital, and he might have to stay there into next week.

Mariah Carey got a bit of bad news…She just heard a word she’s probably not accustomed to hearing:  NO.  Her bid to trademark the phrase “Queen of Christmas” “Princes Christmas and Christmas Princes was DENIED.  She was hoping to lock them down for a variety of products.

—–

Brothers Osborne has partnered with Whistle Pig Whiskey to create a single barrel, limited-edition 100% Rye Whiskey.  It’s part of Whistle Pig’s PiggyBack Legends Series . . . and it’s “fun, warm, and inviting, with the perfect balance of sweet, spice, and smoke.” And alcohol…want to check it out go online to ‘shop dot whistle pig whiskey dot com’

TMZ says Denise Richards was involved in a road rage incident on Monday in LA. She was headed to a studio when a driver behind her started shouting and yelling because she did not know where she was going. The other driver opened fire as he passed Denise and her husband. No one was hurt. Denise made it to the studio and worked 12 hours…because that’s what you do after being shot at in LA….

Gwen Stefani tells Entertainment Tonight that she is going to get Blake Shelton a retirement gift when he leaves ”The Voice”. But she has no idea WHAT!!  Saying “He has everything. But I think his favorite thing would be a bag of corn, like honestly, he would be so thrilled. Or fertilizer or something like that.” ..yeah, fertilizer…that oughta work.

Jason Aldean tells CountryNow.com that his wife should NEVER drink and shop…She made some weird purchases after drinking wine. She ordered some sweet corn Squirrelog, deer feed and miniature picnic tables for squirrels off of Amazon. …at least it’s Amazon and not Oscar De La Renta or Brunello Cucinelli…

The List for Thursday, April 2nd 2026

Welcome to The List,

Horror fans, buckle up, because nightmare fuel just got a backstory. That creepy Aunt Gladys from Weapons is getting her own prequel. The same witch who basically ruined recess forever. Now we’re diving into her origin story. Cool, cool… just what we needed. Sleep is officially canceled this fall.

-----

ABC went full chaos for April Fool’s Day, announcing Miss Piggy as the next Bachelorette. Twenty-five men competing for love, drama, and probably karate chops. Jesse Palmer hosting, roses flying, egos bruised. And yes, they even joked about criminal records. Finally, a dating show where someone might actually get slapped on night one.

-----

Garth Brooks might be hitting the road, but apparently his nerves got there first. Reports say he’s stressed about touring and not having Trisha by his side. Because even country legends need emotional support spouses. Between legal drama and stage jitters, it’s a lot. Moral of the story, even Garth gets the pre-show butterflies.

-----

Taylor Sheridan says if critics are mad, he’s doing his job right. The guy behind Yellowstone is basically trolling reviewers on purpose. He wants them fired up, writing angry think pieces. Because nothing sells like outrage and cowboy drama. Imagine getting paid to annoy people… oh wait, radio.

The List for Wednesday, April 1st 2026

Welcome to The List,

Meghan Markle allegedly thought she could jump the royal line. A new book claims she believed she should be queen next. Said she was smarter, better, and worked harder than Kate. That’s not confidence, that’s skipping the entire family tree.

-----

Two Blackhawk helicopters hovering over Kid Rock’s house raised eyebrows fast. Army pilots got suspended while the investigation played out. Then the Defense Secretary stepped in and shut it down. Suspensions lifted, no punishment, case closed just like that.

-----

Keith Urban might be ready to say a little more. A report claims he felt iced out of Nicole Kidman’s interview. She talked family and life but didn’t mention him once. Now there’s talk he could finally tell his side. Nothing says romance like a possible press tour response.

-----

And if you saw Jason Aldean storm off Colbert… relax. That viral story is completely made up from top to bottom. Wrong show name, bad details, zero credible sources behind it. The internet really said “let’s just create chaos today.” Moral of the story, not everything trending is actually true…I know…surprise right??
