The List for Thursday April 9th 2020

Welcome to The List –

Some of your Country stars discuss what they are doing during the quarantining –

Florida Georgia Line Star Tyler Hubbard Talks About The Positives Of Quarantining … “It’s been fun to try to push yourself to do things that you typically wouldn’t do, like try to eat healthy for a week and then workout steady, and then also, just spending time with the family and investing in our marriage and investing in our children. It’s just been a lot of fun. We’re staying positive and we know this is eventually gonna be over and life will resume as it once was. And so, we’re just trying to learn from this and remember what we’re grateful for, and the things that we maybe took for granted before this.”

Sam Hunt Talks About What He’s Been Doing During The Coronavirus Quarantine … “We’re doing well. We’re stocked up on groceries and supplies and we live south of town. We just moved into a little cabin out in the woods about five months ago, so we’re getting some time in the new place, getting to know it a little bit. There’s some woods behind the house we can go and walk in, and we’re doing that now after we binged out on Netflix and You tube, and got some dogs. I’ve got a little bird dog puppy, I’ll get out in the yard, trying to train, so I’ll mess with him a little bit. But getting to spend some time around the house, taking it easy, but I’m hoping this thing passes sooner than later.”

Rita Wilson wants Tom Hanks to celebrate her life with “lots of singing and dancing” if she dies before him. Earlier this year, the couple became the first stars to be publicly diagnosed with the deadly coronavirus. And, after fighting off the illness, the star reflected on death in a pre-recorded segment on Tuesday’s installment of The Kelly Clarkson Show, where she said she and her husband have had “very serious discussions” about how he is to handle her passing. “I said to him, ‘Look, if something happens and I should go before you then I just want you to know that there’s a couple of things that I want. One is that I want you to be super sad for a really long time,’” Rita said. “The second thing was that I wanted a party. I wanted to have a celebration and I wanted to have a lot of singing and dancing and people telling stories and to feel like that was being celebrated,” she added. Back in 2015, Rita underwent a double mastectomy a month after being diagnosed with breast cancer and, in December, 2015, announced that she was “100 percent healthy.” “In some ways, cancer was a blessing,” she told Kelly. “It really taught me to live every moment to the fullest and every moment as if it were your last. We don’t know what tomorrow brings. We have to be able to live, and go out today going, ‘Wow, OK. I did it. I did everything that I wanted to do. I lived the life that I wanted to live today,’” Rita added.

The Sun newspaper says Macaulay Culkin is allegedly being paid $3 million for a walk-on cameo in the new “Home Alone” reboot. A source tells the newspaper, “No Home Alone is complete without the star of the show, Macaulay. Disney bosses were desperate to get him on board and they’ve opened their wallets in a big way to do so. His cameo is being planned and they’re working out the details – but it’ll cost them nearly $3 million for the privilege.”

The Daily Mirror says a woman from the Philippines has named her newborn son Covid Bryant after the coronavirus and the late Kobe Bryant. Over 50,000 people have liked the baby’s name on Twitter. Some people think the child is going to get bullied because of his name..The LA Lakers are working out a deal..
