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….
