The List for Monday, December 11th 2023

Welcome to The List,

Jada Pinkett Smith trying to stay in the news after her book unfortunately bombed…has now come out and said the Oscar slap was a good thing and that it actually “saved her marriage” .  In fact, she now calls it the “holy slap,” because “so many positive things came after it.”

Adding “After all those years trying to figure out if I would leave Will’s side, it took that slap for me to see I will never leave him.  Who knows where our relationship would be if that hadn’t happened?”  Well, we know you’ve been apart for 10 years thus far and if all of this is true, then who’s the new lady Will’s been hanging out with?

We all know the emotional roller coaster that comes with teaching the kids how to drive…country stars are no different…People magazine says Luke Bryan continues to teach his son Bo how to drive. The magazine quotes Luke as saying; “He’s grown up on the farm driving side-by-sides and stuff like that. I just assumed that it would translate to being on the highway. It did not.

Sad news, Ryan O’Neal died last week.  He was 82.  There’s no word on the cause of death, but he’s battled both leukemia and prostate cancer over the past two decades.

What if “The Hunger Games” was a real thing, right now . . . and every state was sending a pair of “tributes” to fight AND DIE in the games? What would those tributes look like?  As you probably know, in the book and the movies, the tributes are sent to the games dressed in outfits that are supposed to exemplify their particular regions. So somebody used A.I. to determine what Hunger Games tributes from each state in the U.S. would look like Wisconsin tributes covered in cheese squares?  Iowa is decked out in fall and corn colors browns and dark yellow…If you’d like to see for yourself

(Check ’em all out here.)

We asked Riley Green what his most prized possession would be right now. “Lately it’s become guitars. Guitars, I’ve realized that I don’t need near as many as I have but I look at them like it’s an investment. You know, it’s like a piece of art I can hang in my house. Plus, you know, I do make money playing one, so there’s no reason I can’t have a couple of nice ones I feel like.”

The fifth and final season of “Stranger Things” will start shooting next month.
