Welcome to The List,
A fan asked Nic Cage what his favorite Keanu Reeves movie was. Nic said it’s difficult . . . he has “mixed emotions” about Keanu, because he “kicked his [butt] at billiards one night.” But if Nic HAD to answer? He said, “I like some of the early stuff like ‘Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure’. I thought he was great in ‘River’s Edge’.” Nicholas Cage’s Dracula movie “Renfield” is in theaters April 14th.

Welcome to The List,
Game show host Chuck Woolery died on Saturday at his home in Texas. . . . TMZ reports that he went to lie down because he wasn't feeling well.
Chuck was the original host of "Wheel of Fortune" back in the late '70s . . . he went on to host the "Scrabble" game show in the '80s . . . and of course "Love Connection" from 1983 to 1994.
He also did some later shows, like "Lingo" on the Game Show Network, and "Greed" on Fox.
There's no word on a cause of death, Chuck Woolery was 83…

"Billboard" put out their list of the Top 100 Country Singers of All Time . . . and some folks are less than pleased. Specifically, because Taylor Swift was ranked above Brooks & Dunn, Hank Williams Jr., and Toby Keith. Also, Jason Aldean didn't even make the list at all..what’s THAT all about…..

Kansas City Chiefs superstar Patrick Mahomes is making around $50 million a year. But now, his wallet will be 0.03% LIGHTER . . . thanks to FINGER GUNS.
The NFL has fined Patrick $14,069 for the "violent gesture" he made last week, while celebrating a touchdown. He'd just scored on Buffalo, and Patrick used both hands to mimic firing dual pistols.
Let's be honest . . . he wouldn't have been fined for mimicking a bow and arrow . . . throwing knives . . . or dramatically acting out the extremely violent "finishing moves" from "Mortal Kombat". (Although that would be amusing.)
