The List for Monday, February 21st 2022

Welcome to The List,

Kelly Clarkson wants to legally change her name and filed paperwork in a Los Angeles County court to do just that, using her middle name versus her sur name so ‘Kelly Brianne’.  The reason?  She says, “It more fully reflects who I am” A hearing on the matter is scheduled for March 28th.  The petition comes amid a bitter divorce battle between HER and Brandon Blackstock. After nearly seven years of marriage….

Today is Presidents day… Brad Paisley’s has a favorite President and it would have to be Abe Lincoln  “Abraham Lincoln for me is the great emancipator, and what amazing guy he was. I also liked Truman. I think Truman was a really good example of a President that was underappreciated, he had the hardest decision of all…and seemed to be from all accounts, a pretty good guy too.”

ALEC BALDWIN swears he didn’t pull the trigger on the gun that killed cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the set of the movie “Rust”.  And now there might be evidence to back him up. Santa Fe District Attorney did some “unofficial” testing of the gun in question.  And said, quote, “You can pull the hammer back without actually pulling the trigger and without actually locking it and then if you let it go, the firing pin can hit the primer of the bullet.” An FBI analysis of the weapon is still pending. Still doesn’t answer WHY the gun was out of it’s holster were it was placed…AND not pointed in a safe direction…

Someone did some pretty impressive research to determine just how hefty Norm’s bar tab would have been on the TV show “Cheers”.  It was estimated Norm drank 10 beers a day… both the average price of beer over the years AND several clues from the show about how much a beer cost at Cheers at various times brought the final tally to $124,406.90. without tip….

JON PARDI has been working on his next album, which will be out later this year.  What can we expect?  At least one love song, a few “she’s leaving and we’re moving on songs” . . . and “definitely a lot of drinking songs.” And sad news to report, MIRANDA LAMBERT is mourning the loss of her longtime guitarist and very good friend, Scotty Wray.  He passed away on Friday after battling heart issues.  Scotty is also the brother of Collin Raye

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!
