Welcome to The List,
We waited a year for Chris Rock to respond to THE SLAP at last year’s Oscars . . . and to be honest, it was kind of worth it. Rock unloaded on Will Smith during his live Netflix special Saturday night. He mentioned Jada’s affair with one of her sons friends August Alsina, and said that since last year’s Oscars, quote, “Now I watch ‘Emancipation’ just to see [Will] get whooped.”

Morgan Wallen’s new album is HUGE . . . but instead of celebrating with a big industry bash, he went back to his roots, for real. Last Thursday . . . the day before his new album “One Thing at a Time” was released . . . he performed a surprise concert at his high school. The crowd included members of the senior class, faculty, and the baseball team. The show was about an hour long, and it took place on the baseball field. It included the first-ever live performances of several new tracks, Morgan also invited the principal on-stage, and presented him with a $35,000 donation to the school. It’s going to go toward musical instruments . . . and repairing the field after the concert.

Jake Gyllenhaal filmed some scenes for the upcoming “Road House” remake at this weekend’s UFC 285 event. Released by Amazon Studios with no date for release except for “sometime next year” has been announced. Jake is playing Dalton . . . although they’ve changed his first name from “John” to “Elwood”. ..Still, I thought he’d be…bigger…

Ryan Seacrest’s departure from Live With Kelly and Ryan was a surprise for fans of the show, but according to The Blast, Seacrest is leaving the morning show to focus on his other jobs, including one that recently opened up. The folks at Good Morning America and ABC News are kicking around having the American Idol star come in to replace T.J. Holmes and Amy Robach. The Blast’s sources allege that the folks at ABC News are courting Seacrest, offering to revamp the show completely to support his needs on the show and highlight his strengths.

Bailey Zimmerman talks about how he got his start in country music … Bailey says he was building gas pipelines when his first song blew up on Tik Tok. “I wrote my first song that I ever tried to write one night, like two weeks after trying to sing. Then I posted it to Tik Tok and it went viral so then the next morning I just quit my whole job and was like I’m just going to do music.” Which is something I would NEVER suggest….the music business can be fickle…

Post Malone and Shaboozey, who are featured on “Cowboy Carter,” made special appearances during the Christmas Day performance.

Carly Pearce spent some time on tour with Tim McGraw earlier this year, and although she’s an avid runner and big into other fitness regimens like Orange Theory and spinning, one workout she has no plans to incorporate into her routine is Tim’s intense CrossFit training. “Yeah, I’m not gonna be a part of Tim McGraw’s workouts because quite frankly, I don’t think I could keep up. I did pull the tire up and I got it up, but he said that he will flip the tire the length of like a football field, y’all. And I’m just not going to do that. I will stick to running. If Tim McGraw wants to do a running challenge, let’s go.”

Some people may not know that one of Justin Moore’s favorite hobbies is cooking. He loves to try new recipes and often watches the Food Network for inspiration. We wondered if Justin has ever considered putting all those family recipes and his other favorites into a cookbook. “I would certainly be up for it. I’ve not ever thought about it, but I think it would be somethin’ that would be fun to do.”
