The List for Thursday, March 24th 2022

Welcome to The List,

Some things you can see and understand like Blake Shelton on stage…Blake Shelton on The Voice…Blake Shelton in a bar…drunk…but can you imagine Blake Shelton in the kitchen?  Well, it happens and he says he likes helping Gwen when she’s cookin  “I feel like I’m a good Sous-chef for her, because I’m like ‘tell me what I can do to help you’ cause she tries to take it all on. So, she’ll say ‘chop that onion’ or bowl this or whatever so I have a blast. I can drink and help her cook.”

Sandra Bullock and Channing Tatum were on with James Corden last night and  talks about seeing Channing on ‘Magic Mike’ for the first time. “I went, ‘Oh my God!’  but it was in a different way. It’s was like kind were ladies you know when you’re twisting in your seat and you like oooh…stop!!…because it’s…it’s to much coming at you.” Sandra Bullock and Channing Tatum’s new movie ‘The Lost City’ is in theaters this weekend.

83 year-old Maury Povich has hosted the longest-running daytime talk show in broadcast history. It was recently announced that “Maury” will finally end after 31 seasons.  We asked Maury about his favorite moment on the show. “That is when a woman was accusing a guy of being the father of her twins. So, I open up the envelope, and I say ‘you are the father of ONE but not the OTHER’. I look at my staff and they said ‘it’s a million to one shot with fraternal twins if someone is pretty active in a 24 to 48 hour period you can have two fathers.” Maury says the one thing he will miss the most is the “storytelling.”

Sam Hunt’s estranged wife, Hannah Lee Fowler, is allegedly done with him for cheating. “She was hopeful this pregnancy would bring them closer together, but it didn’t stop him.  He’s living his best SINGLE life with his buddies. At this point, she isn’t even taking his calls .And he thought ‘Breaking up was easy in the 90’s’…

Tim McGraw revealed the secret to a successful emotional song and how he does it.  In an interview with “Big Machine Label Group”, he said, “For him, it all comes from a piece of his soul.  “Every time I sing a song, I feel like I’m tearing out a piece of my soul, and I want it to feel that way.  I don’t try to over-sing anything . . .”You can tell somebody how you feel, but when you can tell somebody how THEY feel, and they didn’t know they felt that way until they heard it in a song or they felt it, I think that’s when there’s something really special.” Tim also added that he’s been fortunate to have made really great songs in his career that have allowed him to find that “emotional well.”

Finally, Jake Gyllenhaal, Jason Momoa, Josh Brolin and Venus and Serena Williams have been added as presenters for Sunday night’s Academy Awards.

The List for Thursday, April 10th 2025

Welcome to The List,

Bailey Zimmerman Says The Fans Inspire Him To Write And Perform Music ... “For me, it’s always been the stories, like, the stories you hear from people when I’m out on the road…watching people cry really gets me when I’m, like, playing and stuff. That’s really that’s just like…that’s why I write music, Adding – We’ve all been kinda through the same stuff!!

-----

Jason Aldean says the worst karaoke move ever is when artists sing their own songs. According to him, if you’re gonna grab the mic, don’t flex—have fun. He prefers belting out stuff he’d never do on stage—like Neil Diamond. Because nothing says “hardcore country boy” like a drunk “Sweet Caroline” with jazz hands and a beer.

-----

Cuba Gooding Jr. is reportedly stressed over his connection to Diddy’s upcoming trafficking trial. Sources say Cuba’s trying to live the straight-and-narrow—no more headlines, no more grabby hands. But now he’s worried he’ll be pulled back into court like it’s a bad sequel. He's sweating bullets and praying the only role he plays next... isn’t “surprise witness.”

-----

A People Magazine staffer is leading a full-blown campaign to crown Jack Black as the next Sexiest Man Alive. She calls him a triple threat with jungle cat moves and “a devilish grin”—honestly, she sounds in heat. He’s funny, charitable, loves his fans, and may or may not be hotter than Jude Law in ‘The Holiday’. Honestly? We support this beefcake energy.

The List for Wednesday, April 9th 2025

Welcome to The List,

Carrie Underwood hit the stage with Papa Roach in Vegas, belting out “Last Resort” and their duet “Leave a Light On.” Sounds fun, right? Well, not so much for the fans, who clearly didn’t want a mashup of country and rock. Guess some lights were left on... just not for the right reasons.

-----

Jennifer Garner’s boyfriend, John Miller, is allegedly in therapy because Ben Affleck just won’t stop showing up. Holidays? Ben’s there. Dinner? Ben’s there. It’s like he’s got a VIP pass to their relationship. John’s starting to feel like the other guy in his own love story. Maybe Ben should start paying rent at this point.

-----

Luke Combs is all about quality over quantity with his music—no 20-song albums here! He’s got 40-50 songs ready, but he’s not into watering it down. Last time? Just 12 tracks. He’s basically saying, “Less is more, folks”—and we’re here for it. Who needs fillers when you’ve got hits?

-----

Tom Cruise is back in Mission: Impossible doing what he does best: hanging upside down from an airplane at 62! Yeah, he’s still got it—one-handed, no less. And rumor has it, he’s planning to do this crazy stunt stuff until he’s 80. At this point, he’s more Mission: Improbable than impossible!  The trailer for Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning, is out now…the movie is in theaters May 23rd.  See the trailer HERE
