The List for Friday, May 5th 2023

Welcome to The List,

King Charles’ coronation is Saturday…and it seams like the ONLY person that won’t BE there is Russell Crowe!!  Apparently, he wasn’t invited because he thinks in a former encounter, When he met Charles he did not call him “your highness”.  He said it’s quote, “not in my DNA . . .That doesn’t mean however that I meant any disrespect or discourtesy.”.. It may not be ‘In his DNA’ but you really don’t want to refer to Charles as ‘Mate’, which is why Russell thinks this happened. He does however think Charles was a “good bloke’.

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3 is in theaters this weekend.  Here Chris Pratt answers the question…”did you take anything from the set?”  “Oh Man! This is it!  I backed up the U-haul truck, I took it all.  I was past the point were it would be more expensive for them to fire me instead of just letting me take stuff.  That’s a dangerous position to put a man in”  Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3 is in theaters this weekend.

Dolly Parton’s Dollywood is launching its longest roller coaster EVER next week on the 12th.  It’s called Big Bear Mountain and has 3,990 feet of track.  The ride lasts for almost two minutes at a maximum speed of 48 miles per hour.  I want to know if Dolly has had a ride on it yet.

Talent riders can be a monster list of all kinds of goodies for the backstage…Meghan Moroney tells Billboard magazine that she has a small list of things she needs when she’s on the road. “Advil and Red Bull . Saying she probably drinks two Red Bulls a day when she’s on the road. She really needs to have her Airpods for sure, and don’t forget her flashy boots.”

Anti-Music says Miranda Lambert’s new cookbook ‘’Y’ALL EAT YET?” is No. 3 on the New York Times Best Selling List.”  She says, “I can’t actually believe that. I’m so grateful and just – I can’t believe it. It’s for my Nonny in Heaven. This is crazy. So, thanks to everybody who bought it and who is reading it. I love y’all.

And lastly, King Charles’ coronation will take place tomorrow in the U.K.. The Robb Report says one of the highlights of the coronation is going to be when Charles holds the Royal scepter. It contains the world’s largest clear-cut diamond, the Star of Africa. The 530-carat diamond was found in South Africa in 1905. Many South Africans want Charles to return the jewel.

The List for Monday, November 25th 2024

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.
