The List for Thursday, March 24th 2022

Welcome to The List,

Some things you can see and understand like Blake Shelton on stage…Blake Shelton on The Voice…Blake Shelton in a bar…drunk…but can you imagine Blake Shelton in the kitchen?  Well, it happens and he says he likes helping Gwen when she’s cookin  “I feel like I’m a good Sous-chef for her, because I’m like ‘tell me what I can do to help you’ cause she tries to take it all on. So, she’ll say ‘chop that onion’ or bowl this or whatever so I have a blast. I can drink and help her cook.”

Sandra Bullock and Channing Tatum were on with James Corden last night and  talks about seeing Channing on ‘Magic Mike’ for the first time. “I went, ‘Oh my God!’  but it was in a different way. It’s was like kind were ladies you know when you’re twisting in your seat and you like oooh…stop!!…because it’s…it’s to much coming at you.” Sandra Bullock and Channing Tatum’s new movie ‘The Lost City’ is in theaters this weekend.

83 year-old Maury Povich has hosted the longest-running daytime talk show in broadcast history. It was recently announced that “Maury” will finally end after 31 seasons.  We asked Maury about his favorite moment on the show. “That is when a woman was accusing a guy of being the father of her twins. So, I open up the envelope, and I say ‘you are the father of ONE but not the OTHER’. I look at my staff and they said ‘it’s a million to one shot with fraternal twins if someone is pretty active in a 24 to 48 hour period you can have two fathers.” Maury says the one thing he will miss the most is the “storytelling.”

Sam Hunt’s estranged wife, Hannah Lee Fowler, is allegedly done with him for cheating. “She was hopeful this pregnancy would bring them closer together, but it didn’t stop him.  He’s living his best SINGLE life with his buddies. At this point, she isn’t even taking his calls .And he thought ‘Breaking up was easy in the 90’s’…

Tim McGraw revealed the secret to a successful emotional song and how he does it.  In an interview with “Big Machine Label Group”, he said, “For him, it all comes from a piece of his soul.  “Every time I sing a song, I feel like I’m tearing out a piece of my soul, and I want it to feel that way.  I don’t try to over-sing anything . . .”You can tell somebody how you feel, but when you can tell somebody how THEY feel, and they didn’t know they felt that way until they heard it in a song or they felt it, I think that’s when there’s something really special.” Tim also added that he’s been fortunate to have made really great songs in his career that have allowed him to find that “emotional well.”

Finally, Jake Gyllenhaal, Jason Momoa, Josh Brolin and Venus and Serena Williams have been added as presenters for Sunday night’s Academy Awards.
