The List for Wednesday, September 6th 2023

Welcome to The List,

What’s Gary Busey up to lately?  Well, He rear-ended a woman in Malibu last week, then fled the scene.  So she chased him down and eventually caught up to him at a restaurant parking lot, where she scolded him and tried to get his information.  He told her he has “Progressive insurance,” but refused to give her anything else because, quote, “I’m private.” Then he took off again.  The woman got the whole thing on video…Why is he still driving?

Oprah and The Rock thought they were doing a good thing when they teamed up to ask people to donate to Maui wildfire relief.  They even kicked off the fundraiser by dropping $10 million into the pot. But a lot of people think it’s RIDICULOUS for them to ask normal folks to donate . . . especially in this economy . . . when those two could give so much more.  And yes, they’re making their voices heard. One commenter said  “You have billions.  You could donate $100 million and still be as wealthy as before donating.  YOU give the money.” We’re seeing this reaction a lot more when celebrities ask regular people to donate.

With all the Yellowstone drama with Kevin Costner and his wife Christine and a questionable second half of season 5…Lainey Wilson tells Country Living magazine that she is unsure about her return to ‘Yellowstone’ for season five.  Realizing that the TV business is just as crazy, if not crazier, than the music business. She’s waiting for Taylor Sheridan to give her the green light and between tour and everything they’ll figure it out.”

Does Jelly Roll get “Star Struck” well, yes! He tells Music Mayhem magazine that he picked Garth Brooks up off of the floor the first time he met him. Saying “I was just so excited, the big kid in me was like, this is Garth Brooks! So I went and gave him the biggest hug I could muster. And then I get on TikTok, and my wife’s like, ‘There’s a video of you with 4 million views picking up Garth Brooks,’ and I was like ‘Oh no!’”
