Welcome to The List,
We start today by wishing you a happy Thursday and May the 4th be with you and In recognition of “Star Wars” Day today, Fandom.com analyzed data from its site to determine which movie from the Skywalker Saga is the most popular in each state. In Iowa 1983’s ‘Return Of The Jedi’…was the favorite. It’s not so shocking that “A New Hope” has the highest number of states, with 11. But it IS shocking that it’s TIED at that number with “The Phantom Menace”. What’s even MORE shocking is that “The Empire Strikes Back”, which most people consider the BEST “Star Wars” movie, leads in only THREE states. I’m not sure these counts would hold up to legit scrutiny. Or, to put it another way . . . I detect a disturbance in the Force…

We have updated news on Jamie Foxx, he’s still in the hospital, more than three weeks after suffering what has still only been described as a “medical complication.” But yesterday, either he or someone on his team posted a message on Instagram, saying, quote, “Appreciate all the love!!! Feeling blessed.” Still, friends of the family are telling the media that he still needs all the prayers and well wishes his fans can give. Also, Jamie and his daughter Corrinne will not appear on Season 6 of “Beat Shazam”. Nick Cannon will take over as host.

Toby went through six months of Chemo, radiation and surgery and hopes to see fans sooner than later.

It’s still not official yet, but it’s really starting to look like Kevin Costner is leaving “Yellowstone”. “Entertainment Tonight” heard from a “source close to the production” that he’s done after Season 5. It’s supposedly because of drama between Costner and the show’s co-creator Taylor Sheridan. Speaking of Kevin . . . sources are telling TMZ that he was totally blindsided by his wife’s divorce filing, and he’s devastated.

Tim McGraw celebrated his 56th birthday on Monday, so Faith Hill made his favorite Southern meal of pot roast, rice and gravy, peas, cornbread, collard greens, and sweet tea. He was SO amped about it, he asked for it to be moved up earlier in the day, from dinner to lunch…the man had to get to the gym!!

And lastly, Thomas Rhett tells the Des Moines Register that three of his daughters can’t tour with him until the Summer. “As we have had a million kids … three of them are in school now so I think we’re kind of waiting until the Summertime until we bring them out on the road.”

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.)

Chris Stapleton and Brooks & Dunn are now tied with the most CMA Awards in history. They have 19 wins each.
