The List for Tuesday, August 23rd 2022

Welcome to The List,

Venom Star Tom Hardy won two gold medals in a charity jiu-jitsu tournament in England.  It was in support of an organization that teaches the martial art as a form of therapy for veterans and members of the military and emergency services who experience depression and PTSD.

Stadium tours can be intimidating, but not to Luke Combs.  Here’s what he said when someone asked how he feels about them. Quote, “Honestly, [an] indescribable feeling . . . and hopefully I get to do it for a whole lot longer.  But yeah, there’s really nothing like it.”

—–

Keanu Reeves really IS John Wick.  A producer for the franchise said Keanu has done 90% of his own stunts in the first four movies. This statistic comes from a new book all about the series called “They Shouldn’t Have Killed His Dog”. To put Keanu’s badassery into perspective, he turns 58 next week.  The first “John Wick” came out in 2014, making him like 49 or 50 when he started the series.  So yep, he’s been doing all this stunt work throughout his 50s.

—–

Feathers are being ruffled, The new issue of “Rolling Stone UK” has Harry Styles on the cover, and it crowns him the, quote, “New King of Pop”.  As you might expect, that isn’t going over well with Michael Jackson fans. Michael’s own nephew Taj Jackson Tweeted, “There is no new King of Pop.  You don’t own the title Rolling Stone, and you didn’t earn it, my uncle did. Decades of dedication and sacrifice.  The title has been retired.  No disrespect to Harry Styles, he’s mega talented.  Give him his own unique title.”

—–

If you want to follow someone on Instagram that’s always interesting, I suggest Kacey Musgraves.  She’s been on tour in Japan . . . and has been sharing videos and pics on her Instagram stories. The one everyone’s talking about is the clip of her eating a fried cricket.  She also posted a photo of the “deep-fried insects” section of the menu, and that features scorpions and tarantulas… ah…nope!! nope…and nope…

—–

And finally Delaware Online reports that Jimmie Allen is going to start a side hussle….he’s training for the WWE in January.

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”.
