Welcome to The List,

Shaquille O’Neal is a giver.  He says, “My favorite thing to do when I’m in a Best Buy, or Walmart, is if I see a kid, I get them something that I see he’s looking at. Of course, I make them ask their parents first. Someone videoed him giving a homeless woman in front of a restaurant a plate of food…that video went viral and it allowed the woman’s family to find her.

Welcome to The List,

Imagine paying good money to see Chris Stapleton live… only to take a nap. That’s exactly what an Australian couple did—out cold in the middle of the concert!

Blake Shelton just can't seem to stop with all the onstage PDA.  First Trace Adkins told him no more kisses on the cheek.  Now this . . .A video of Blake bringing an 84-year-old lady on stage for a birthday hug is making the rounds online.  It was pretty cute.  It happened two weekends ago at his show in Greensboro, North Carolina.  She was out in the crowd with a sign that said, "May I hug you for my 84th birthday?" (WARNING:  He says the word "damn" early on in the video, and the song lyrics include the phrase "wild-a**."  She shows up on stage around 1:20.)
