Welcome to The List,
There’s a new “Karate Kid” movie coming in 2024 . . . but the details are a complete mystery. When they announced the movie, Sony would only say that it would mark the, quote, “return of the original ‘Karate Kid’ franchise.” But here’s the thing: It has nothing to do with the Netflix show “Cobra Kai”. . . So a return to the ORIGINAL franchise . . . which makes you think it won’t have anything to do with the 2010 remake starring Jaden Smith and Jackie Chan….back to the ole wax on wax off?

Luke Combs nailed his appearance on ESPN’s “College Game Day”. And like a real football fan, he did some pre-pregaming. Somebody handed him a can of beer as he was walking in the parking lot . . . and he chugged it in about eight seconds flat. About ten minutes earlier he did a selfie video while holding a travel mug and saying, “I got a whiskey drink, a windowful of Mountaineers, and I’m about to go make my picks. Couldn’t be more excited.” And in case you somehow didn’t hear, his Appalachian State Mountaineers beat the Troy Trojans on a last second Hail Mary TD.

Speaking of re-makes and sequels….Remember that 2005 supernatural movie “Constantine” with Keanu Reeves? In it he plays an occult investigator named John Constantine who communicates with angels and demons. It’s actually based on a DC Comic. Well, Warner Brothers announced they’re making a sequel with the same director. But the best part is Keanu is returning as Constantine. No word on when it’s expected to come out or who else will be in it.

Country Now is reporting Toby Keith had to cancel his appearance at a fundraiser yesterday because of his battle with stomach cancer. He was being honored with a Lifetime Achievement Award for his work with cancer patients. He accepted it through a pre-recorded video because he wasn’t feeling well enough to travel.

There’s a “tractor battle” brewing between Brantley Gilbert and Blake Shelton. Blake shared a video last month of himself driving his red tractor. Now Brantley posted a clip where he’s on his green tractor, and saying it’s better. He also promised “not to blow the surprise.” So maybe it’s not even about tractors?

Fox News says a group of sheep recently interrupted filming on ”Mission Impossible 8”. Tom Cruise stood by and watched the sheep pass before he started running again.. because that’s what he does….
