The List for Thursday, June 2nd 2022

Welcome to The List,

—–

Kenny Loggins tells Entertainment Weekly that he recorded a new version of “Danger Zone” for “Top Gun: Maverick”. Saying he re-record ‘Danger Zone’ to make a 5.0 version that would wrap around the audience. But Tom Cruise really wanted to conjure up the original version, the original feeling. So in the long run, it turned out to be the old track coming back.  Which is just fine for me….

Miranda Lambert, Chris Stapleton, Morgan Wallen, and Shania Twain are some of the Special Award Honorees for this year’s “15th Annual ACM Honors”.  It’s going down August 24th in Nashville at the Ryman Auditorium.

Speaking of Top Gun the aviator sunglasses Tom Cruise wears in the new movie were custom-made. The movie’s costume designer, Marlene Stewart, says, “Tom is a stickler. And that they had a lot of fittings to get just the right look. Color, shape and fit all had to be correct. They had fittings with each character to see what’s gonna work for them, but they wanted to establish Tom’s first.”

As reported late yesterday a verdict was reached in the Johnny Depp Defamation trial. The jury found that Amber maliciously defamed Johnny. Amber was found liable and was ordered to pay $15 million to Johnny. Amber won on a single count and was awarded $2 million. Meanwhile Change.org is STILL trying to get Amber OFF of Aquaman 2.

Are you going to CMA Fest this year?  I hope you’ve ALREADY booked a place to stay.  If not, you better hope a friend or relative has a spare bed or couch because the 37,200 hotel rooms in Nashville’s Davidson County are nearing capacity.  CMA Fest is June 9th through the 12th. While you’re there, you might want to check out the Folds of Honor Celebrity Softball game. Jimmie Allen, Lee Brice, Mitchell Tenpenny, Chris Lane, Jameson Rodgers, Riley Green, Alexandra Kay, Jelly Roll, Hannah Cook, Shawn Johnson, and Tyler Braden are some of the stars that’ll be out there dodging softballs to the face and stealing bases. It’s set for June 6th at Nashville’s First Horizon Park.  Proceeds will benefit family members of America’s fallen and injured service members.

Did you know Alison Krauss is on the latest Def Leppard album?  She does guest vocals on two tracks, “This Guitar” and “Lifeless”.  The album is called “Diamond Star Halos” and it came out last week.

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”.
