The List for Thursday, June 23rd 2022

Welcome to The List,

If you could go back in time and give your younger self a bit of advise…what would that advice be?  Thomas Rhett knows what he would tell HIMSELF  “You are not in control, and you might as well let the control go.  The anxiety and the wonder of, is this record gonna do well? Where’s my song at on the chart? How many streams do we have? I feel like I did that for like five years, and it was exhausting. I just started to kinda let go of control and create. And I’m just in a lot happier, if I could, that’s what I would say.” Sometimes to move forward ya gotta let go….

Tim McGraw with all the things going on in his life..music..movies..he says with all that ONE thing comes before his career…FAMILY “We made a conscious decision when we got married that no matter what, if we were gonna start a family, that that was gonna be our first priority and everything else was gonna sort of find its place, for better or worse. For our careers better or worse, or whatever, that’s always been our core understanding and our core principle, is putting our family first.

Carrie Underwood tells Country Heat Weekly that she doesn’t sing love songs. Saying she just loves the strong character that doesn’t take anything from anybody. Like in  “Ghost Story,” you know she’s not doing anything to get revenge on this guy. It’s just like, ‘I’m just telling you that you’re gonna want me back and I’m not gonna be there.’”

Michael J. Fox is going to receive an honorary Oscar statue later this year. The Academy says his advocacy for Parkinson’s research “exemplifies the impact of one person in changing the future for millions.”

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.

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.
