The List for Thursday, October 20th 2022

Welcome to The List,

Friends star Matthew Perry gets candid about his drug use . . . and how it almost killed him . . . in his upcoming book “Friends, Lovers and the Big Terrible Thing”.  In a new interview with “People”, he says he almost DIED when his colon burst due to opioid abuse four years ago.  At one point Matthew was taking 55 Vicodin a day, season 9 was the only year he was sober all the way through. His book comes out in November.

One of the few bad things about “Cobra Kai” is that Mr. Miyagi isn’t a part of it.  But they’re not done telling his story . . . because a prequel series centered on him is in the works. Ralph Macchio says, “It’s in the discussion stages . . . It’s a project that I’m cheering for personally, because [Pat Morita] always wanted to do more with where Miyagi came from, so that would be wonderful to see that realized.”

Congratulations to Chris Lane the ‘Take Back Home Girl’ singer and his wife Lauren have welcomed their second child.  Lauren posted an update on social media saying that a baby boy arrived on Sunday, and they shared video of him meeting his older brother Dutton, who’s 16 months old.  There’s no word on the baby’s name.

Garth Brooks finally got inked…He spent the first 60 years of his life with NO tattoos.  Then he went to Ireland last month and got all inked up!! Fulfilling a promise he made to his daughter Allie back in 2014.  Garth says ‘I have the five women of my life.  My mom, Miss Yearwood, and my three daughters.’

The Rock tells Turner Classic Movies that he cries every time he watches Mel Gibson’s movie, ”Braveheart.” “I watched that movie about a month ago. Got “misty-eyed.” I have in my possession the sword that Mel Gibson uses in Braveheart. It is a massive sword, and one of the few that a Scottish blacksmith and his family, generational blacksmiths, have been commissioned to make that sword from the Wallace family.”

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.

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.
