The List for Thursday May 21st 2020

With everything that’s happening right now The tornado in Nashville, to COVID-19 Thomas Rhett’s new song “Be A Light” really touches a nerve for him… “I feel like now there is no better time to release a song like ‘Be A Light.’ I just feel like the world was in darkness for a minute, and so, I think a song like this can be really encouraging for people.” “Be A Light” also features vocals from Reba McEntire, Hillary Scott from Lady Antebellum and Keith Urban and Christian music singer Chris Tomlin

With Memorial Day weekend coming up fast Country music stars are paying tribute – Jordan Davis Thanks The Men And Women Who Serve And Protect Our Country … “You know, both my grandparents were in the service; my cousin was also a Marine, so the military hits close to home. I mean I can’t say enough about ’em. We live in the best country in the world, and it’s because of those guys and because of the people that came before ’em. So, I can’t thank ’em enough. I wish we had Memorial Day every day, but it is great to have one day to thank the men and the women that gave it all.”

Ace Showbiz says Game of Thrones star Jason Momoa and Peter Dinklage are going to star in a new vampire movie based on Van Helsing. Dinklage will play a vampire hunter, who teams with Momoa’s undead character to scam superstitious townspeople. Vampires decide to make an example of them for conning people.

Being on lockdown during a pandemic can sure bring out the creativity in people…Lady Antebellum’s Dave Haywood And His Wife Perform A Coronavirus-Inspired Parody Of Brian McKnight’s “Back At One” … Their version of the song is called “Back To Phase One.”

The List for Friday, November 22nd 2024

Welcome to The List,

Luke Combs was shocked to hear "People" magazine named him the sexiest 34-year-old on the planet.  He told a reporter that when he heard they put him on a list, he thought it was for eating the "most cheeseburgers."

-----

Keith Urban was doing an interview for a recent edition of Variety magazine when he said he has two sides to his personality. "I’ve got a dutiful, responsible, reliable side. And I’ve got this animalistic, wild, reckless, irresponsible, What does this button do?' side.  I constantly have to keep them both in check to make sure one side isn't taking more control than it should."

-----

Jay Leno recently suffered a 60-foot fall down a hill at a hotel resulting in injuries to his eyes and face that were left bruised along with a broken wrist.  Which has led to wild internet conspiracies that Jay has a “gambling problem” and debt collectors were sending a message…

-----

Lastly, remember Jussie Smollett? Well his conviction for allegedly staging a hate crime against himself has been overturned by the Illinois Supreme Court.  They ruled that he shouldn't have been prosecuted after making a deal with the D.A.
