The List for Thursday, June 16th 2022

Welcome to The List,

Even though Tim McGraw stars in 1883 a TV show about settlers. He tells HollywoodReporter.com that he doesn’t believe he would have made a good settler. “The first lush meadow I saw within three days of traveling, I would’ve said, ‘this is a good spot right here’.

This is kinda fun!!  With Father’s Day is THIS Sunday, “Sesame Street” is celebrating by unleashing a “Friends” parody.  Basically, it’s a fun song that re-works the show’s theme, “I’ll Be There for You”. It includes subtle “Friends” references, like a creative rendition of “Smelly Cat” . . . a puppet wearing Joey’s Thanksgiving turkey hat . . . and a nod to Ross’ “pivot!” You can check it out NOW

Carrie Underwood’s two little boys haven’t discovered her music.  Yet.  Isaiah is seven and Jacob is three, so you know they’ll eventually come around.  But as of right now, “I know the Blipie theme song, Isaiah would watch Power Rangers and then he’d be like could you play Power Ranger songs in the car. We’d go through that faze, like Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle songs.  Kids have terrible taste in music.” She played The Stagecoach Festival this year in California and says the best part for HER was when Axl Rose joined her to perform “Sweet Child O’Mine” and “Paradise City”

What’s more important than winning an Oscar?  To MOST actors the answer is NOTHING…but if you ask Samuel L. Jackson?  He’s over it!  He likes to GO to the Oscars…the gift baskets. But, he’d rather be Nick Fury or have fun being Mace Windu with a lightsaber in my hand.  He doesn’t care about the statue…he cares about the fans…

Chris Stapleton is getting his own exhibit at the Country Music Hall of Fame.  There will be tons of stuff to see, including instruments, clothes . . . and even his Waffle House Golden Waffle award as the most-played artist on their jukeboxes in 2019.  The exhibit will run from July 1st of this year, through May 14th of 2023.

The List for Thursday, March 13th 2025

Welcome to The List,

Imagine paying good money to see Chris Stapleton live… only to take a nap. That’s exactly what an Australian couple did—out cold in the middle of the concert! Their friends, being absolute menaces, surrounded them with empty beer cans. When the couple woke up, they had a full-blown hangover without the fun part.

The List for Wednesday, March 12th 2025

Welcome to The List,

We saw THIS coming a mile away…Jennifer Garner has reportedly been given an ultimatum by her boyfriend.  If he sees another picture like the one of Jennifer and Ben Affleck cuddling at paintball, he's out the door.

-----

Blake Shelton just can't seem to stop with all the onstage PDA.  First Trace Adkins told him no more kisses on the cheek.  Now this . . .A video of Blake bringing an 84-year-old lady on stage for a birthday hug is making the rounds online.  It was pretty cute.  It happened two weekends ago at his show in Greensboro, North Carolina.  She was out in the crowd with a sign that said, "May I hug you for my 84th birthday?" (WARNING:  He says the word "damn" early on in the video, and the song lyrics include the phrase "wild-a**."  She shows up on stage around 1:20.)

-----

RadarOnline.com says the Oscars bosses are considering offering Chris Rock a huge sum to host the 2026 Academy Awards in hopes he can inject excitement back into the show. It seems he has unfinished business following the Will Smith affair and he'd be a huge audience winner.

Brad Paisley recently wowed the crowd at Rodeo Houston by covering Prince's "Purple Rain”.
