The List for Thursday, December 14th 2023

Welcome to The List,

If you’ve seen Oprah Winfrey lately, it’s hard not to notice she’s had significant weight loss.  Well, it’s thanks to the assistance of a weight loss medication, but she didn’t say which one.  When she discovered a medication to help, it felt like “redemption” and “a gift”.  She only uses it as a maintenance tool though, especially during the holidays.

Luke Combs was sick to his stomach yesterday when he found out his lawyers sued a fan in Florida for selling unlicensed merch on Amazon.  A judge ordered her to pay him $250,000, and the $5,500 in her Amazon account got seized.  But yesterday, Luke sent her twice that to help with bills.  And he’s now selling a $20 tumbler on his website, with all proceeds going to help her out.

The List for Monday, November 25th 2024

Welcome to The List,

Game show host Chuck Woolery died on Saturday at his home in Texas. . . . TMZ reports that he went to lie down because he wasn't feeling well.

Chuck was the original host of "Wheel of Fortune" back in the late '70s . . . he went on to host the "Scrabble" game show in the '80s . . . and of course "Love Connection" from 1983 to 1994.

He also did some later shows, like "Lingo" on the Game Show Network, and "Greed" on Fox.

There's no word on a cause of death, Chuck Woolery was 83…

-----

"Billboard" put out their list of the Top 100 Country Singers of All Time . . . and some folks are less than pleased.  Specifically, because Taylor Swift was ranked above Brooks & Dunn, Hank Williams Jr., and Toby Keith.  Also, Jason Aldean didn't even make the list at all..what’s THAT all about…..

-----

Kansas City Chiefs superstar Patrick Mahomes is making around $50 million a year.  But now, his wallet will be 0.03% LIGHTER . . . thanks to FINGER GUNS.

The NFL has fined Patrick $14,069 for the "violent gesture" he made last week, while celebrating a touchdown.  He'd just scored on Buffalo, and Patrick used both hands to mimic firing dual pistols.

Let's be honest . . . he wouldn't have been fined for mimicking a bow and arrow . . . throwing knives . . . or dramatically acting out the extremely violent "finishing moves" from "Mortal Kombat".  (Although that would be amusing.)

-----

Chris Stapleton and Brooks & Dunn are now tied with the most CMA Awards in history.  They have 19 wins each.
