Welcome to The List,
I can sum up last night’s “People’s Choice Awards” in three words: Lizzo . . . Selma . . . Shania. Lizzo received the People’s Champion Award, “To be an icon isn’t about how long you’ve had your platform. Being an icon is what you do with that platform.” Then she brought 17 female activists onstage, introducing each one by name, and explaining the work they do Selma Blair won Competition Contestant of the Year for doing “Dancing with the Stars” while battling MS. Shania Twain picked up the Music Icon Award and proved exactly why she deserved it with a fantastic medley of her hits.

Joe Rogan has issued a challenge to The Rock: Admit you’re on steroids. On a recent episode of his podcast, Rogan said, quote, “The Rock should come clean right now . . . “There’s not a chance in hell he’s clean, not a chance in hell as big as The Rock is at 50” ..Adding He is so massive and he’s so different than he was when he was 30.” And while he didn’t directly accuse them, he noted that Chris Hemsworth and Hugh Jackman got “super-jacked” for their superhero roles.

Showtime says “George & Tammy” was its most-watched premiere ever. Jessica Chastain stars as Tammy Wynette, and Michael Shannon plays George Jones. It aired Sunday on Showtime, Paramount+, and CMT, and pulled in 3.3 million combined viewers. You can probably catch it still on those streaming networks.
