The List for Wednesday, May 5th 2021

Welcome to The List,

This week country stars are talking the praises of…mom…Lady A’s Hillary Scott says she got her heart from her mom…  “I watched her my whole life have such a heart for people. And I think that that’s part of who she was created to be. I think that’s part of who I was created to be. But I also got to have this beautiful example of that lived out by her. And so, I would say, a big wide open heart for people.”

 With nearly 30 number-one hits, and eighty million albums sold in 20 years, the time is likely right for a documentary-style miniseries chronicling just how country superstar Luke Bryan maintains his impressive run of success. Here he tells us a little about it. “If you live this life long enough, life’s gonna get you.  You can’t be living this long, beautiful life without some ups and downs and challenges. I think this documentary just really shows the struggles that you have to deal with from time to time.” Luke’s five-episode program; “Luke Bryan: My Dirt Road Diary”, is in production now and is expected to debut this summer.

Not only has Jennifer Lopez dumped Alex Rodriguez, but so has Hollywood. A source tells us that, “Alex got so used to the amazing world of Jennifer Lopez it never occurred to him that it would all end the moment they broke up. The access to A-list Hollywood, private events, and even world leaders was because of her. The little secret no one talked about while they were together was everyone wanted Jen, not Alex.  Ouch!!

Happy Birthday to Channing Tatum the ’21 Jump Street” actor turned 41  this past April 26th.  He and his family had a low-key celebration, used sidewalk chalk to draw a wolf with chicken legs, learned how to braid his daughter’s hair with the help of YouTube and got some advice from his daughter when it came to bedtime stories. ” When she was little, I would read trying so hard to be entertaining.  Doing all the voices, and she’d be like ‘could you just read it straight?’ and I’m like I’ve been training my whole life for this and you don’t want me to do the voices?”
