The List for Friday, April 28th 2023

Welcome to The List,

Jelly Roll won’t let his soaring popularity get in the way of his main objective:  Helping people who are struggling, just like he was. Last year, Jelly donated $250,000 to support youth who were locked-up at Nashville’s Davidson County Detention Center . . . a facility where HE spent time as a teen.  And there’s more where that came from. In an interview with the “New York Times”, he says, “That’s not even scratching the surface of my plan.  I’m going to build halfway houses and transitional centers.  That’s my real heart.”

They announced the first-round performers for next month’s ACMs.  They include Luke Combs, Miranda Lambert, Jelly Roll, Morgan Wallen, Ashley McBryde, Keith Urban, Kane Brown, Lainey Wilson, and Cody Johnson. The “58th Academy of Country Music Awards” is going down May 11th.  It’s being held for the first time in Frisco, Texas and it’ll air on Prime Video.

Baller Alert says Floyd Mayweather is denying reports he recently purchased a diamond encrusted baseball cap, with his logo, for $1 million. He instagrammed,  “I don’t know who started the rumor that my hat was a million dollars. But it was 30K.” In another post, Mayweather added, “30K is still a pricey number for a Snapback.”

The Wrap says Vince Vaughn has agreed to star in the sequel to “Dodgeball”. The original film was released in 2004 and starred Vince and Ben Stiller as rival gym owners. (DROP) The sequel’s description reads: “It will continue the story of Vaughn’s prize-winning gym”. It was a fun movie, it was a reminder that if a wrench is flying toward you..you should duck.

John Krasinski is working on a movie right now called “If”.  It’s about a young girl who starts seeing everyone’s imaginary friends who’ve been left behind after their “humans” grew up. And it’s got a voice cast that’s RIDICULOUSLY stacked.  It includes: Matt Damon, Jon Stewart, Emily Blunt, Maya Rudolph, and many others.  John says, quote, “This cast is insane.  I know for a fact that I will never get a better cast.”. It sounds more interesting than a live action ‘Little Mermaid’.

And finally, with all the other things that are happening in the Judd family since Naomi’s suicide. NOW Pop Culture magazine says her former manager, Michael Dolan, is suing her estate for unpaid commissions. Judd’s estate has yet to comment on the lawsuit. Dolan says he’s owed a 6% commission for managing Judd’s career.

The List for Thursday, December 26th 2024

Welcome to The List,

Did you catch Beyonce’s performance during half-time on Wednesday’s game between the Baltimore Ravens and the Houston Texans? She performed a medley of songs off her album, “Cowboy Carter,” released earlier this year. Post Malone and Shaboozey, who are featured on “Cowboy Carter,” made special appearances during the Christmas Day performance.

Carly Pearce spent some time on tour with Tim McGraw earlier this year, and although she’s an avid runner and big into other fitness regimens like Orange Theory and spinning, one workout she has no plans to incorporate into her routine is Tim’s intense CrossFit training. “Yeah, I’m not gonna be a part of Tim McGraw’s workouts because quite frankly, I don’t think I could keep up. I did pull the tire up and I got it up, but he said that he will flip the tire the length of like a football field, y’all. And I’m just not going to do that. I will stick to running. If Tim McGraw wants to do a running challenge, let’s go.”

-----

Some people may not know that one of Justin Moore’s favorite hobbies is cooking. He loves to try new recipes and often watches the Food Network for inspiration. We wondered if Justin has ever considered putting all those family recipes and his other favorites into a cookbook. “I would certainly be up for it. I’ve not ever thought about it, but I think it would be somethin’ that would be fun to do.”

-----

The 42nd president is currency hospitalized after coming down with a fever that required medical attention. NBC News reports Bill Clinton is in a Washington, D.C. hospital on his own accord. An aide told the media outlet that Clinton,  who is 78, “Is in good spirits and grateful for the care he is receiving.  “The former president will be fine. “He developed a fever and wanted to be checked out. He is awake and alert.”
