The List for Monday, December 20th 2021

Welcome to The List,

There’s something to be said about a ‘traditional Christmas’ and Alan Jackson likes to do just that… “Christmas is pretty traditional. We don’t let anybody open any presents until Christmas morning, everybody has to wait and kind of get situated, and maybe have a cup of coffee, and then we start all of the regular Christmas morning activities”  I still always get anxious and ready to get goin!

Yellowstone prequel 1883 debuted this week, and we already know that A-list actor Tom Hanks is going to have a surprise cameo in Episode 2. Hanks will be playing Union General George Meade, a real life American Civil War hero who is most well-known for defeating Robert E. Lee at the Battle of Gettysburg. Hanks’ scene was reportedly shot in just one day, and was somewhat a favor to Tim and Faith.

There’s nothing quite like the sights and sounds of Christmas…the music, usually the snow all mix to make a special season…Brett Young he loves the sights and smells of Christmas … “The first thing always is that the day after Thanksgiving all the Christmas decorations including the tree go up at my parents’ house and in my apartment.  And then anything kind of like ‘nutmeg’ I’ll be, ‘All right I’ve got to make some sort of holiday dessert to make the house smell like that.” And of course there are the Christmas movies every year..his big favorite which is a no brainer “Elf”

‘Director Matt Reeves tells Empire magazine that Robert Pattinson’s Batman is inspired by Kurt Cobain. Saying when he wrote the story he was listening to Nirvana’s ‘Something In The Way’ and started making connections as Bruce Wayne having this Kurt Cobain thing, where he looks like a rock star, but you also feel like he could be a recluse.

The List for Thursday, April 3rd 2025

Welcome to The List,

John Wick: The Franchise That Won’t Die! John Wick may have bitten the bullet in Chapter 4, but like a bad ex, he’s back for more! Not only is Keanu returning for "John Wick 5," but we’re also getting an animated prequel and a spin-off starring Donnie Yen’s blind assassin, Caine. At this point, the only thing that can actually kill John Wick… is nothing.

Blake Shelton’s “No-Frills” Rider Some artists demand rose petals and private chefs—Blake Shelton just wants Sprite Zero, vodka, and ice. No fancy snacks, no ridiculous requests. Just a man, his drink, and a guaranteed good time. Honestly, respect.

-----

Diddy’s Latest Lawsuit: What Even Is This?! A new accuser claims Diddy’s Miami “freak-off” party was more like a bad episode of Black Mirror. With big names like Jay-Z, Beyoncé, and LeBron James allegedly present, we’re all wondering… was this a lawsuit or an Illuminati fanflic? Diddy’s legal team denies everything, of course.

-----

J.Lo: Single and Picky Jennifer Lopez is trying to date again, but she’s still hung up on Ben Affleck. Meanwhile, A-Rod is sliding into her texts, hoping for a second chance. The real challenge? Finding a guy willing to meet her sky-high standards. Someone call NASA—we need astronauts for this one!
