Welcome to The List,
Getting out there for the first time can be scary, nerve racking but you have to start somewhere if you’re going to GET anywhere. Jake Owen talks about his FIRST job…”Well, I went to the local guitar shop and told this guy that I needed a guitar that plugs in because I have a gig tonight. He sold me a guitar and I went back that night. I think I played ‘Sweet Home Alabama’ four times. I made tips, I made friends, got phone numbers, called my dad and said…I got a job.” Someone once asked Jake how southern his family is…well, his mom was Florida Watermelon Queen…if that’s not southern I don’t know what is…yes, but could she do the ‘crawl’?

It’s getting a little warm in Hollywood at least around Mickey Rourke. He was doing an interview with Piers Morgan and allegedly slammed Tom Cruise for doing “Top Gun: Maverick”. “The guy’s been doing the same part for 35 years. I got no respect for that. I think he’s irrelevant in my world.”

Martin Lawrence tells Essence magazine that a fourth Bad Boys movie, with Will Smith, is in development. He says he and Will are making at least one more film for the franchise …Craig Morgan invited Jelly Roll to help him sing “Almost Home” at the Grand Ole Opry last week. The song is special to Jelly Roll because he was inspired to be a singer after seeing Craig perform it.

Don’t look for Luke Combs to be taking his newborn son on the road anytime soon…he’s not THAT guy…saying, “I think you need at least a year before the road thing. We don’t even take our dog on the road because we feel it affects his quality of life”. They want to make sure they have the parenting thing down first.

Someone came up with a list of the best country songs to put on when you need a good CRY. They include “Stay” by Sugarland . . . “Fire Away” by Chris Stapleton . . . and “I Will Always Love You” by Dolly Parton. The number ONE song on the list…Tim McGraw’s “Don’t Take The Girl”

Finally, “Travel & Leisure” put out its annual list of the best U.S. cities to visit on vacation. And Charleston, South Carolina is #1. They say it’s got the perfect balance of, quote, “Southern charm, knockout food and drinks, and walkability.” Not Hollywood or Nashville but thought it was good to know….

Welcome to The List,
Glen Powell from “Twisters” and “Top Gun Maverick” fame, called in to a lookalike contest of him in his home town of Austin, Texas. And he gave the winner the opportunity to put their parents or any family member in his next movie. Glen’s mom Cyndy was even in the crowd to give her approval and called up Glen on FaceTime to share a message. The winner was a physician's assistant from Austin. In addition to Glen's prize, he also got $5 . . . a cowboy hat . . . and free queso from Torchy's for a year.

Just bring it on…He makes enough food and knows there’ll be leftovers…he loves the fall, Football and is a huge Arizona Cardinals Fan…well…no one said he was perfect…

The Daily Star reports Diddy's plea for house arrest on his private island in Florida has been rejected by a New York City judge. Who saw that coming!!! Anyone? The rapper's legal team suggested he serve house arrest in his Manhattan apartment with added security. Diddy is facing charges of trafficking and other crimes, which he denies.

A bunch of country stars were asked, "Who is the most attractive person in country music?" Riley Green and Sam Hunt both said Carrie Underwood . . . Jordan Davis said Luke Combs . . . and Ella Langley said it was, quote, "Alan Jackson, still." Who would YOU add to the list…
