The List for Thursday, July 29th 2021

Welcome to The List,

We all have our country music hero’s…the ones that the moment they release a CD or even a song to stream on-line no matter WHAT it is we’re right there ..Miranda Lambert is no different I loved from Patti Loveless to Faith (Hill), Shania (Twain), Sara Evans. Then also the pop side, you know, Beyoncé, Destiny’s Child. I was loving people that had something different, that did something a little bit different”.  She says those aren’t necessarily my musical influences of course, but they’re influences to me as far as what they did later on in their careers versus when they started.

Luke Bryan is STILL looking for the perfect wedding gifts for Blake and Gwen…it’s on going and doesn’t look like it’s going to stop any time soon “It will be many many gifts in a big package, I’m just havin to get out there and go searching but ah…yeah, it’ll be like ‘Mullet Stimulator’ or something for Blake.  Probably gonna have to send Gwen some glasses.”

Sad news to report, ZZ Top Bassist Dusty Hill passed away in his sleep just days after taking a leave of absence because of a hip issue at his home in Texas AND Infomercial King Ron Popeil has passed the man who created the Pocket Fisherman and Hair in a Can, ‘The Bedazzler and the Chop O Matic and catch phrases like “But wait there’s more” and “Set it and forget it’  Ron was worth $200 million at the time of his death he was 86

US Weekly Magazine claims Alex Rodriguez loves being single now that he and Jennifer Lopez have broken up. A source tells the magazine, “A-Rod is living his best single life. He’s really enjoying [being] a bachelor. Meanwhile Kim Kardashian is STILL looking for someone that will date HER.

It seems to be a trend these days to have celebrity biopics, so it should come as no shock that Mark Wahlberg would be up for a biopic of his own. While the 50-year-old may not have one just yet, but, if a biopic does take place, the Ted star already knows who he would want to play him on screen Tom Holland…yep, Spider-Man…I KNEW Mark was a Marvel fan!!

They don’t know how to be in public places."
