The List for Thursday, May 26th 2022

Welcome to The List,

Eric Church talks about Celebrating Our Freedom and the people that provide those freedoms … “I’m very proud that we have the soldiers. I know there are a lot of other countries out there in the world that don’t want to live the way we do, and that’s fine, they can keep living the way they are, but I’m very proud of it. I think that’s a time to celebrate being proud to be an American and celebrate those freedoms…and celebrate the people that are over fighting for those freedoms” Adding it’s the soldiers he comes in contact with on the road, the ability to make the music he makes and to say what he wants to say.

Ellen’s final show today will be filled with tears and joy. Ellen tells The Hollywood Reporter, “It’s funny because the last couple of months I was more emotional than I was in the last week or two. She got really emotional about two months out, but that last week she just really wanted to enjoy it.

Luke Combs tells CMT that he’s getting nervous about the birth of his baby. “I’m a little nervous. You got a lot of stuff to do. I got a lot on my plate that I don’t even realize is on there yet. I’m uncovering things every day; I’m buying all kind of clothes I didn’t know existed. I mean, I just just learned what a bassinet was. Do you know if Columbia carries a newborn line?”

Tom Cruise tells Bella magazine that he hasn’t taken a day off in 40 years. “I’m just chillin’ now. I don’t have days off. Look, I’m fortunate, I’m lucky. I’ve spent my life on movie sets and travelling the world, which is what I always wanted to do. So this is not work – I’m living the dream.”

Josh Turner Is Ready For Summer … “I have a nice boat that I got a couple of years ago. I have it set up for saltwater and fresh water. I’m not much of a water skier. My legs are too skinny for that, but I just try to tube and have fun and just ride”

Madonna is auditioning new boyfriends. A source says she has zero interest in dating someone her age. What she wants is a hard-bodied, hot guy in his late twenties – someone who can keep up with her. She has requested that her team find her a handful of options – after signing a watertight NDA, of course.

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”.
