The List for Tuesday, April 4th 2023

Welcome to The List,

Disney is becoming more and more about turning their animated hits into live-action.  The latest is “Moana”. Dwayne Johnson will be returning as the demigod Maui.  He will also produce.  He made the announcement yesterday with a short video filmed in Oahu, Hawaii with his two younger daughters. Saying “This story is my culture and is emblematic of our people’s grace and warrior strength.  I wear this culture proudly on my skin and in my soul . . .

Tyler Hubbard’s song “Dancing In The Country” his first solo project is doing well…He got to perform is at the CMT music awards.  If you’ve seen the video for the song you can tell EVERYONE is having a great time, including “America’s Got Talent” star Terry Crews. “He’s one of the coolest dudes in the world, super laid-back and down-to-earth and funny and humble and just everything you hoped he would be. He came in and crushed it.” Adding it was probably one of his favorite video’s he’s ever been a part of.

Kelsea Ballerini is catching heat AND being praised for performing with “Drag Race” stars at Sunday’s CMTs.  But someone reminded people she’s not the first country star to do it.  One of the best stories Dolly Parton tells is when she secretly entered a Dolly Drag Queen contest and LOST.

—–

“Harry Potter” TV series is in the works, and if it happens, it’ll probably end up at HBO Max. This won’t be a spin-off series like the “Fantastic Beasts” movies.  Instead, each season will be related to one of the “Harry Potter” books.  It’s not clear what, if any, characters we already know will be involved. J.K. Rowling WILL have some creative input, but she won’t be the primary creator or showrunner.

—–

Even if remakes and reboots aren’t your thing, the new “Fatal Attraction” series that’s coming to Paramount+ might be worth watching, because it has a compelling twist.  In addition to showing the affair between Dan Gallagher and Alex Forrest that causes so much chaos, and the boiling of a bunny no less, it also flashes forward to 15 years later, when Dan is getting out of prison for Alex’s murder. In a new trailer, Dan . . . played by Joshua Jackson . . . says, quote, “Every day that I have been in [prison] I have thought about Alexandra Forrest, because I need to understand what I did, how she died and why.” He also says, quote, “I did not kill that woman, and I’m going to prove it.”

—–

And lastly, Last week The Band Perry announced they’re going on hiatus. Well, shocker, yesterday Kimberly Perry shared that she’s starting her solo career.

The List for Thursday, December 26th 2024

Welcome to The List,

Did you catch Beyonce’s performance during half-time on Wednesday’s game between the Baltimore Ravens and the Houston Texans? She performed a medley of songs off her album, “Cowboy Carter,” released earlier this year. Post Malone and Shaboozey, who are featured on “Cowboy Carter,” made special appearances during the Christmas Day performance.

Carly Pearce spent some time on tour with Tim McGraw earlier this year, and although she’s an avid runner and big into other fitness regimens like Orange Theory and spinning, one workout she has no plans to incorporate into her routine is Tim’s intense CrossFit training. “Yeah, I’m not gonna be a part of Tim McGraw’s workouts because quite frankly, I don’t think I could keep up. I did pull the tire up and I got it up, but he said that he will flip the tire the length of like a football field, y’all. And I’m just not going to do that. I will stick to running. If Tim McGraw wants to do a running challenge, let’s go.”

Some people may not know that one of Justin Moore’s favorite hobbies is cooking. He loves to try new recipes and often watches the Food Network for inspiration. We wondered if Justin has ever considered putting all those family recipes and his other favorites into a cookbook. “I would certainly be up for it. I’ve not ever thought about it, but I think it would be somethin’ that would be fun to do.”

The 42nd president is currency hospitalized after coming down with a fever that required medical attention. NBC News reports Bill Clinton is in a Washington, D.C. hospital on his own accord. An aide told the media outlet that Clinton,  who is 78, “Is in good spirits and grateful for the care he is receiving.  “The former president will be fine. “He developed a fever and wanted to be checked out. He is awake and alert.”
