The List for Friday, June 2nd 2023

Welcome to The List,

Sometimes the “behind the scenes” can be more interesting than the movies themselves…take “Fast and the Furious” for example…FIRST Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson was feuding with Vin Diesel…NOW…Vin Diesel blames Jason Momoa of tanking “Fast X” which I thought they won the box office when it opened…NOW…The Rock and Diesel have made up and is returning for Pt. 2 of “Fast X” as Luke Hobbs…See…THIS is why I was “Rick and Morty” a lot less confusing.

Dierks Bentley is crazy about hockey, so this is a perfect match.  He’s hosting the 2023 NHL Awards.  They’re being held June 26th in Nashville, and will air on TNT, Sportsnet, and TVA Sports in the U.S. and Canada. He says, I’ve been to rinks all over the country with my travel hockey son.  [And] I am a proud member of a beer league team in Nashville.  To get to add NHL Awards host to this list is truly an honor.”

Billy Joel’s record-breaking residency at Madison Square Garden will end in July of 2024, after 10 years and 150 shows. He’s already played 60 more shows at MSG than any other artist.  He’s not LEAVING New York…he’s just going to be playing some shows elsewhere.

—–

Lauren Alaina has announced details of her new EP.  It’s called “Unlocked”, and it’ll be out one week from today.  She says the album “comes from my heart and my hometown”.  It also has a little bit of humor. There’s a song with Lainey Wilson called “Thicc As Thieves” . . . and the message is in the spelling.  There’s no “K” in thick.  It has two “C’s” . . . which is a reference to them being, well, not skinny.

—–

Radar Online says Jamie Foxx allegedly suffered a blood clot in his brain that has left him partially paralyzed and blind. Hollywood journalist AJ Benza is quoted by the website as saying, that they blame the covid vaccine. Adding that Jamie did not want the shot, but the movie he was on, pressured him to get it. Jamie Foxx’s daughter has said that her father has been rehabbing and playing Pickle-ball, so…what’s the truth here?

—–

Keith Urban is really loving his Vegas residency…he tells Fox News that It’s allowing him to try out a lot of new show elements things that you couldn’t possibly put in trucks and carry around on a tour, so we get to do stuff that we could never do if it wasn’t for that residency.”

—–

And lastly, I know it’s hard to believe, but Tom Brady STILL says he’s done playing football. He says he is looking forward to his Fox broadcasting job…We…shall..see Mr..Bond….

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
