Welcome to The List,

We start with sad news today…One of the greatest sex symbols of all time is no more.  Raquel Welch passed away yesterday. .  There’s no word yet on the cause of death. Raquel’s big break was the 1966 sci-fi classic “Fantastic Voyage”.  That same year, she wore her iconic animal skin bikini as the cavewoman Loana in the 1966 prehistoric classic “One Million Years B.C. It was even promoted as “Mankind’s first bikini.”  Raquel Welch was 82.

For the first time ever, adults in the U.S. will spend more time watching digital content on platforms like Netflix, TikTok, and YouTube, than traditional TV. “Linear TV” in 2023 will average under three hours a day . . . Netflix and YouTube are leading the way when it comes to digital video viewing.  People are watching about 33 minutes of each per day..We even Tic Tok more…Gone are the days of “Gunsmoke”.

Lindsay Ell was recently diagnosed with an eating disorder.  She’s been in denial about it for a long time, because she didn’t LOOK like someone who was sick.  But when it started “taking over her life” she knew it was time to confront it. She’s sharing her journey with fans in hopes that her experience can help someone else . . . just as other stories helped her.

“You, Me, And Whiskey” ..Is a great song from Justin Moore and Priscilla Block.  They just released the video for the song and Justin says it’s pretty spicy. “It’s definitely the spiciest, sexiest, most sultry, whatever you wanna say, video that we’ve done. And in talking to our team about what we wanted the video to look like, it just kind of lent itself to that, to me, and we haven’t done that. And so I thought it was kind of cool, and I didn’t have to take my clothes off and get in bed, so that’s even better. It wouldn’t be that had I had to.” which is why he hired two actors to play the married couple.

The List for Thursday, December 26th 2024

Welcome to The List,

Did you catch Beyonce’s performance during half-time on Wednesday’s game between the Baltimore Ravens and the Houston Texans? She performed a medley of songs off her album, “Cowboy Carter,” released earlier this year. 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.”

The 42nd president is currency hospitalized after coming down with a fever that required medical attention. NBC News reports Bill Clinton is in a Washington, D.C. hospital on his own accord. An aide told the media outlet that Clinton,  who is 78, “Is in good spirits and grateful for the care he is receiving.  “The former president will be fine. “He developed a fever and wanted to be checked out. He is awake and alert.”
