thThe List for Thursday, May 8th 2025

Welcome to The List,

Reba McEntire is hosting the ACM Awards again—and she lives for the chaos of live TV. She said, “I love it!” Of course you do, Reba… you thrive on awkward jokes and camera mishaps like it’s your cardio. Meanwhile, Rascal Flatts—yes, the band that retired before my last oil change—somehow got nominated for Group of the Year. And here’s a twist: George Strait, the literal King of Country, has been nominated for Entertainer of the Year 14 times… and only won twice. That’s not a stat—that’s a roast. The ACMs air tonight at 8pm on Amazon Prime!

Some cardinals who will help pick the next Pope are reportedly watching the movie Conclave… to figure out how conclaves work. Yes—grown men in red robes are binge-watching a film for research on how to choose the Pope. What’s next? Picking a new Dalai Lama based on a BuzzFeed quiz?

The Diddy case just got even messier. Prosecutors might go to trial without a key witness—“Victim-3”—because they can’t find her. Yikes. But no worries, they’ve still got other witnesses, including his ex Cassie. So the courtroom might be short one witness, but it’ll have plenty of tea.

Chris Stapleton’s Traveller just hit its 10-year anniversary—and somehow, it’s STILL on the Billboard 200 after 500 weeks. That’s right, half a thousand weeks. That album’s got more staying power than your uncle’s ‘temporary’ garage couch. You can now pre-order the 10-year vinyl edition… and pretend you’re cooler than you actually are.

The List for Thursday, July 17th 2025

Welcome to The List,

Jelly Roll says he’s “obsessed” with training at the WWE Performance Center. Dude’s living there like it’s an Airbnb with dumbbells. He’s teaming up with Randy Orton at SummerSlam like this is the tag team we never knew we needed. Look out Drew McIntyre and Logan Paul, Jelly Roll's not just bringing the vocals, he’s bringing the violence.

-----

Ronnie Dunn got caught using a lyric cheat sheet while singing "Whiskey Glasses" with Morgan Wallen… and didn’t even flinch. He joked, “I’m still learnin’ Neon Moon!” I mean, We’ve all sung the wrong verse at karaoke and blamed the lighting.

-----

Jennifer Aniston is reportedly dating a hypnotist named Jim Curtis. Her friends always try to set her up and now one of them finally hit the jackpot. She loves his “perspective and insight”…which is code for “he made eye contact, didn’t talk about crypto, and didn’t call her Rachel.” Honestly? Hypnotized, romanticized, maybe even… monogamized?

-----

Ozzy Osbourne and Black Sabbath’s final concert just raised over $190 million, making it the highest-grossing charity concert ever. The Prince of Darkness just became Saint Ozzy. Somewhere Sharon is already planning the reboot: “The Retirement Tour... Part 2.”

The List for Wednesday, July 16th 2025

Welcome to The List,

Kim Kardashian is allegedly eyeing the White House! An insider says she’s got the law degree, the connections, and the ambition to run for office. Honestly, if reality TV can become reality politics... we’re just one selfie away from "State of the Union: Sponsored by SKIMS." America, are we ready for First Lady North West?

-----

Word is Blake Shelton’s pushing 300 pounds, and Gwen Stefani is not loving it. She’s worried about his fried-chicken-fueled lifestyle, calling it a ticking time bomb. When she’s there? He behaves. When she’s gone? It’s all brisket, biscuits, and barbecue. Man’s out here living like he’s at a state fair… daily.

-----

Thomas Rhett’s got four daughters—and apparently, they’re tougher music critics than Nashville radio. Forget lyrics or production—if it doesn’t get the living room jumpin’, they’re hitting SKIP. His oldest is starting to appreciate songwriting… the others? If it don’t bop, it drops.

-----

Since Superman hit theaters, Google searches for “adopt a dog near me” jumped 513%! Director James Gunn called it the biggest blessing to come from the movie and that’s saying something! So forget kryptonite, apparently the Man of Steel’s real superpower is turning you into a dog mom.
