The List for Thursday, September 15th 2022

Welcome to The List,

The BBC has a dedicated, a live feed of Queen Elizabeth’s casket as she lies in state . . so that people can pay their respects without having to travel to London.  It ends Monday morning 6:30 a.m. London time, of course.  The Queen will be laid to rest later that day.

In nature…we learn things as we get older…Kelsea Ballerini turned 29 on Monday, so she made a list of everything she learned at 28.  It included, quote, “Being busy is my coping mechanism . . . Dirty martinis are delicious . . . I can keep a plant alive for 365 days . . . [and] not many things make me happier than playing Yahtzee.”

Ozzy Osbourne is currently battling Parkinson’s disease and is still recovering from a recent surgery. But, is determined to tour again, saying that his relationship with his fans is so important to him that he’s willing to be nailed to a board and wheeled out on stage.

We kinda touched on this yesterday but now It’s official:  Ashley McBryde is releasing a new album on September 30th called “Ashley McBryde Presents:  Lindeville”.  And if the album is half as fun to HEAR as it was to make, I’m in. She says It started a few years ago during songwriting sessions. adding “We stayed in Tennessee in this little house close to a lake.  It was eight bottles of tequila, two cartons of cigarettes, one kitchen table and six individuals out of their minds.”

Radar Online claims Will Smith has allegedly been banned from ”Saturday Night Live” because he slapped Chris Rock at the Oscars. A source tells the website, “Smith will never ever be invited back to SNL after what he did to Chris, Will won’t even be able to get a ticket to sit in the audience anymore. He’s not welcome” I don’t think even Chris Rock is holding that kind of grudge…

Without a doubt ”Top Gun: Maverick” has done a lot for the box office..and Reese Witherspoon tells the USA Today that ”Top Gun: Maverick” has inspired her and others to make ”Legally Blonde 3”. saying “I’m still hoping that Legally Blonde 3 is gonna come together in the right way. It’s just like Top Gun. They waited a long time to make another version of that movie, and I loved the nostalgia piece they incorporated in it…Yeah but Legally Blonde isn’t Top Gun…

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”.
