The List for Friday, April 15th 2022

Welcome to The List,

Actor Cuba Gooding Jr. pleaded guilty Wednesday to forcibly kissing a worker at a New York nightclub in 2018 in a deal that is likely to keep him out of jail.   Gooding also publicly apologized for the first time to two other women who accused him of similar behavior in separate encounters, calling himself a “celebrity figure” who meant no harm.  His admissions were part of a plea deal that came nearly three years after the Oscar-winning “Jerry Maguire” star was arrested in the case that saw several delays as his lawyers sought to get charges reduced or dismissed.

Walker Hayes tells ABC that his wife is the most important thing in his life. “Everywhere I go, my family goes with me. Every heartbreak I’ve ever endured, Laney, my wife, has felt it equally. When I read that moment that we had been nominated for a Grammy… that wasn’t a nomination for just me. In a very humble way, she would say she’s not surprised.  And all this time I thought he was trying to stay out of AA….

Cruising Tik Toc last night I came across a disturbing video.. Kevin Bacon was singing to his goats. Not just ONE but SEVERAL!!  He sings The Backstreet Boys’ Song ‘I Want It That Way’. What is it exactly that he WANTS  in that relationship…mutual respect or does he want to learn how to climb mountains.

Yesterday was LORETTA LYNN’s 90th birthday, and I’m sure one of the ways she celebrated was by watching a video that was posted on her Facebook page.  It featured a steady stream of country stars wishing her the best. Included are Garth Brooks, Trisha Yearwood, Tim McGraw, Faith Hill, Carrie Underwood, Alan Jackson . . . and Dolly Parton who sang “Happy Birthday”.  You can see the video below….

Josh Brolin this morning with Kelly And Ryan … Admits that he needs to get in shape for the upcoming “Dune” sequel. “I was with Javier at the Oscars, and Javier and I kind of like we just kinda showed each other our ponches.”  Remember when guys would just drink beer and compare lawns? The “Dune” sequel is due in theaters October of next year…

Tim McGraw has a unique way of starting his day….He says he starts his day with a jalapeño smoothie that is packed with  jalapeños, an avocado, ginger root, half a lemon, one apple, two cups of kale, and one cup of coconut water…Try coffee.. works for me…

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
