The List for Thursday, October 27th 2022

Welcome to The List,

Ask a country artist if they have a “road prank story” and they’ll give you one.  Jason Aldean remembers the time Tim McGraw hijacked his ear monitor, while he was on stage TRYING to perform. “He [got] the microphone where my ear monitor guy is, where he talks to us in our ears.  Tim got ahold of that.  “I’m trying to sing and all the sudden, I hear somebody talking or singing a different song, and I’m trying to hear my band and all I can hear is McGraw . . like right in the middle of my show.  [And] he’s singing like Indian Outlaw’.”, “I look over and he’s laughing on the side stage.”

In his new memoir, ”Friends, Lovers and the Big Terrible Thing”,  Matthew Perry writes that he and Cameron Diaz were fixed up in 2007 after she dumped Justin Timberlake. The couple was playing a game of Pictionary at a dinner party when Matthew flirted with Cameron. She went to punch his shoulder, but missed and ended up hitting him in the face…did she though…miss?

Lainey Wilson’s new album “Bell Bottom Country” is out tomorrow.  She says the title means “country with a flare.”  Her team put brightly-colored bell bottoms on a “bunch of mannequins located at Nashville’s Music Row Roundabout.

 —–

Travis Denning said one of his “most proud AND embarrassed” Halloween costumes was when he went as Terry from “Reno 911”.  “I had the roller skates the short-shorts, the tied-up shirt.  Looking back, it wasn’t the manliest thing I ever did, but it got a lot of laughs and I think that year my favorite candy was Busch Light.”

American idols Katy Perry tells The Cut that she meditates her hangovers away. “I try to meditate in the morning if I didn’t get enough sleep or if my sleep was like an Imax movie — I use it for jet lag, hangovers, creativity. Sometimes, I just slip away for 20 minutes in the middle of the day.

Music Row magazine says Miranda Lambert has debuted a new fragrance called Idyllwind Velvet Rodeo. She says, “This scent was created for all you strong-spirited, take no prisoners, queen of hearts. Saddle up… and go get ‘em girls!”

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

-----

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.
