Welcome to The List –
Labor Day is just around the corner, and the Grand Ole Opry’s own network, Circle TV, will celebrate with a stacked lineup of country music-themed “Hard-Working Heroes.” Featured artists include Brad Paisley, Garth Brooks, Trisha Yearwood, Blake Shelton and many more. Labor Day programming kicks off at 7:00 a.m. ET with a 1980s-era episode of the classic country comedy show Hee Haw, featuring the late Charlie Daniels. To cap the night off, Blake will take the stage alongside Dustin Lynch and Trace Adkins. To learn more about the Grand Ole Opry’s “Hard-Working Heroes” event, visit Circle’s website.
Speaking of Labor Day and “Jobs” what are some of the worse jobs you’ve ever had? Here’s what Eric Church told me about his worst job… “I had an awful job. I’ve had a lot of awful jobs…my worst one was when I first came to Nashville. I got a job at the Shop at Home Network. I worked midnight, graveyard, midnight to eight. That was bad enough but then I would work all night, go home, shower and then I had writing appointments all day because I was trying to get a career started.
If you want to see the live action Disney movie ‘Mulan’ but don’t want to pay $30 to see it on Disney+, there’s another option…though it means waiting another three months. A help page on the Disney+ customer support website says that “Mulan” will be available for free to Disney+ subscribers starting on December 4. Before then, subscribers will have to purchase a “Premier Access” pass for $29.99 to see the film, which will be released tomorrow.
Carole Baskin will be one of the dancers on season 29 of Dancing With The Stars…She says she joined the cast because her life has been a nightmare since “Tiger King” premiered and tells us that while on the show she hopes the light that should have been shone on the cats during Tiger King will happen now. “Dancing With The Stars” returns September 14th.

Keith Urban was doing an interview for a recent edition of Variety magazine when he said he has two sides to his personality. "I’ve got a dutiful, responsible, reliable side. And I’ve got this animalistic, wild, reckless, irresponsible, What does this button do?' side. I constantly have to keep them both in check to make sure one side isn't taking more control than it should."
