The List for Thursday, April 27th 2023

Welcome to The List,

Jerry Springer, one of the most influential and controversial figures in TV history, has died … TMZ has confirmed.  Jerry hosted the smash hit syndicated talk show “The Jerry Springer Show” for 27 years … and it was never a boring moment on the raucous and wild show — which was known for its outrageous guests who usually got into crazy fights as the audience cheered, “Jerry, Jerry, Jerry, Jerry!”  A family spokesperson says Jerry was battling a “brief illness.” Our sources tell us it was pancreatic cancer that was diagnosed a few months ago, and this week he took a turn for the worse.  The spokesperson says he died Thursday morning, peacefully at his home in the Chicago area.  Jerry Springer was 79.

The internet has found plenty to criticize with these Disney live-action remakes.  But one of the most common gripes is that the CGI-created animal characters look TOO REAL. Disney released official photos of Ariel’s friends Flounder, Sebastian the crab, and Scuttle the seagull.  And they don’t look cute or relatable . . . just kind of unsettling. Check out the pics here.

One place you will never see Kenny Chesney perform is the Superbowl Halftime show…He says if he ever has a chance to perform at the Super Bowl, he might say NO, because it seems like the “kiss of death.”  It might be good for his career, but everyone who does it gets a lot of hate too.  So, all things being equal, he’d rather have a beer and watch the game with his dad.

Entertainment Tonight says Sam Hunt and his wife, Hannah, are expecting their second child together. The couple has a 10-month-old daughter named Lucy Lu.. he says life has changed for him…”It’s changed drastically. I mean, the way I experience everything on a day-to-day basis is drastically changed.”  He notices things more than before and is comfortable with Lucy just sitting on the floor playing while he has coffee and a book.

If Scotty McCreery comes off as a down home, respectful southern man who just LOVES southern food…you’d be right…He tells Music Mayhem magazine that he’s a big fan!  He loves his fried chicken, green beans, all of those things. Cracker Barrel is his restaurant of choice. He recently just found out about a peanut butter and jelly sandwich with Cap’n Crunch in the middle. It’s great!”

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.”

I’ve not ever thought about it, but I think it would be somethin’ that would be fun to do.”
