The List for Wednesday, April 26th 2023

Welcome to The List,

Ryan Gosling didn’t really see himself as Ken before he was cast in the “Barbie” movie.  He says “If I’m being really honest, I doubted my Ken-ergy.  I didn’t see it.”  He added that one day he was just living his life, and the next day, “I was bleaching my hair and shaving my legs and wearing bespoke neon outfits and rollerblading down Venice Beach.  Well, we’ll see if movie goers doubt your Ken-ergy when the Barbie movie hits theaters July 21st.

Dolly Parton’s first ROCK album is coming this fall.  It’s called “Rock Star”, and now we know when we’ll hear the first single. She told “Good Morning America” it’ll debut May 11th at the end of the “ACM Awards”, which she’s co-hosting with Garth Brooks.  The song is called “World on Fire”.  She says it’s sort of a “rock anthem.

Luke Combs and his wife Nicole are having a “really difficult time” coming up with boy names for their second son, who’s due in September.  They have a hundred girl names on the list, but that’s no help.  He kind of expects it’ll come down to the last minute just like it did with their son, Tex Lawrence.

Flash back to 1983 and country songstress Crystal Gayle had back-to-back songs go No. 1 in just eight weeks apart. At that time it was unheard of. Now flash forward to this week and everyone’s favorite bell bottom queen just shattered that record.  Lainey Wilson’s two chart-topping hits came within three weeks of each other Of course, the two songs we are speaking of are Heart Like A Truck, and this week’s No. 1 song with friend HARDY wait in the truck.

Keith Urban tells Billboard magazine that his daughters don’t know what a boom box is. He says, “I was trying to recreate that scene from “Say Anything” where the guy was standing underneath his girl’s window with a boom box playing “In Your Eyes”. I was telling the family about my idea when my daughter looked at me and asked what a boom box was. I swear I aged 20 years right there. “I bet she knows what a record is though…

The List for Thursday, December 26th 2024

Welcome to The List,

Did you catch Beyonce’s performance during half-time on Wednesday’s game between the Baltimore Ravens and the Houston Texans? She performed a medley of songs off her album, “Cowboy Carter,” released earlier this year. Post Malone and Shaboozey, who are featured on “Cowboy Carter,” made special appearances during the Christmas Day performance.

Carly Pearce spent some time on tour with Tim McGraw earlier this year, and although she’s an avid runner and big into other fitness regimens like Orange Theory and spinning, one workout she has no plans to incorporate into her routine is Tim’s intense CrossFit training. “Yeah, I’m not gonna be a part of Tim McGraw’s workouts because quite frankly, I don’t think I could keep up. I did pull the tire up and I got it up, but he said that he will flip the tire the length of like a football field, y’all. And I’m just not going to do that. I will stick to running. If Tim McGraw wants to do a running challenge, let’s go.”

Some people may not know that one of Justin Moore’s favorite hobbies is cooking. He loves to try new recipes and often watches the Food Network for inspiration. We wondered if Justin has ever considered putting all those family recipes and his other favorites into a cookbook. “I would certainly be up for it. I’ve not ever thought about it, but I think it would be somethin’ that would be fun to do.”

The 42nd president is currency hospitalized after coming down with a fever that required medical attention. NBC News reports Bill Clinton is in a Washington, D.C. hospital on his own accord. An aide told the media outlet that Clinton,  who is 78, “Is in good spirits and grateful for the care he is receiving.  “The former president will be fine. “He developed a fever and wanted to be checked out. He is awake and alert.”
