The List for Friday, December 2nd 2022

Welcome to The List,

What do you do when you have more money than you know what to do with…well, if you’re Kim Kardashian you hire a pianist to wake up your kids every morning with Christmas songs. So, of course, people had to share their thoughts.  Here are some of the comments online: Amanda Hirsch from the “Not Skinny But Not Fat” podcast posted, quote, “I guess rich people don’t use Spotify,” with a video of herself playing a toy piano. Then someone commented, quote, “And this is why she needs that [$200,000 a month] child support.”

 Trailers for “Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny”“Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 3”, and “Transformers: Rise of the Beasts” came out yesterday.  They’re all hitting theaters next summer. Indiana Jones in June…Guardians of the Galaxy 3 in May…and Transformers in June.

Luke Bryan recently told a great behind-the-scenes story from “American Idol”.  He was on the set Face Timing with his 14-year-son “Bo” when Katy Perry made the mistake of eavesdropping.  Here’s Luke talking about it, “So [Bo] goes, ‘Dad, do we have any doe pee around here?’  Which is doe urine.  [Katy] was like, ‘Did your son just ask you, do you have any dope around the house?’  “I said, ‘Katy, he’s asking for doe pee,’ and she goes, ‘like urine from an animal?’  I was like, ‘yes, that’s what we use to bring the big bucks in.’  I feel sorry for her and Lionel [Richie] and the country education that they have to get from me.”

Morgan Wallen released a three-song set today called “One Thing At A Time – Sampler”.  All three tracks will be on his next album, whenever that drops.  Also, he announced the dates of his 2023 world tour.

Walt Disney World employees banded together to march for fair wages on Wednesday. The large group, many of whom were still dressed in costumes. Disney has not publicly commented on the Wednesday rally. The status of negotiations remains unclear at this time. But seeing Snow White with a sign that says “Magic doesn’t pay the bills”…might bring some people to the table.

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
