The List for Tuesday, April 18th 2023

Welcome to The List,

When King Charles is crowned on May 6th, it’ll be only the second televised coronation in U.K. history, and the first to be streamed.  A 17th Century crown will be placed on his head, and he’ll be presented with some of the Crown Jewels. Live coverage begins at 7:00 a.m. local time, There will be a procession to Westminster Abbey, where the coronation will begin at 11:00 a.m. Charles’ wife, Queen Consort Camilla, will also be crowned . . . and she gets a ring and two scepters of her own. Then they head back to Buckingham Palace in the Gold State Coach, which has been used for every coronation since King William the Fourth’s in 1831.

There are NEW reports of trouble on the set of “Yellowstone” . . . and if you’re a fan, you won’t want to hear them. So-called “sources” are saying that the show will END after the second half of Season 5 . . . because Kevin Costner just can’t get along with the show’s creator, Taylor Sheridan. But it sounds like it’s not Kevin’s fault.  The first half of Season 5 ended in January. There’s no word when the second half will air . . . or even when it’ll start filming.

Kenny Chesney was asked when we’ll be hearing new music.  He said he’s working on it, but NOT rushing things.  After all, he’s earned the right to take his time. “It’s easy to rush it and it’s easy to put music out when people think it might be time, but I think I’ve earned the right to get it right.  I mean, I love it now, but I want to be in love.”  Adding he feels lucky not to have a lot of ‘yes’ people in his camp. He has a lot of people around him that have really good song sense.

There comes a time for some artists that it doesn’t look like music will pan out…but you keep pluggin…just ask Corey Kent…“Luckily, I had a family that had an opportunity for me to go work at a pavement company.  I took that opportunity, the way I was raised you always take the work that’s given to ya.. so I was working and writing down shows trying to juggle both things and trying to build back up to a point where music could be sustainable again”.  So, no matter how bad it gets…never give up on a dream.

Tyler Hubbard tells Billboard magazine that it was hard to adjust to being on his own.  Saying after 12 years of being a ‘WE’ to a just ME I have to take full responsibility for every decision, full responsibility for my own destiny, I don’t have anybody else to blame anything on.  There’s a lot of freedom and fun in stepping into this new season.

And lastly, Kelly Ripa tells Entertainment Weekly that she has been thinking about retirement. “Every time you get a new cohost, it’s like a little jolt of energy. But to be clear, I am always thinking about retiring.
