85 year-old Jane Fonda was recently doing an interview with the ‘Absolutely Not’ podcast when she allegedly said she will not date any men older than 20. She prefers younger partners because she doesn’t like “old skin.” Some Internet users wished her luck while others mocked her and said she will remain single for the rest of her life.

Miranda Lambert posted a bunch of pics from her big 40th birthday party at Billy Bob’s honky-tonk in Fort Worth last month. Ashley Monroe, Dierks Bentley, Lainey Wilson and many others came out for it. Miranda said it took her three weeks to post the photos, because there were so many to sift through. She started posted them in bunches yesterday. (Here’s Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, and Part 4.)

It’s going to get harder for Tiger Woods to find a date…Thirsty for News says Tiger is now considered a “bad apple” by women after his messy breakup with Erica Herman. Women see him as trouble and are avoiding him. A source says, Tiger has this reputation as a total cheater, which he’ll never be able to shake. It’s not hard to see why women are avoiding him like the plague.“ OUCH!

Parker McCollum grew up in Conroe, Texas and he and all of his family and extended family would go to his grandmother’s house on Christmas. One of his favorite childhood memories on Christmas Day was playing football in the front yard. His favorite Christmas gift as a kid? “It would be a Browning 270 Deer rifle I got when I was 13? So, I wanted it so bad, and I’d always had to use my older brothers’ or my Dad’s gun, you know? They wouldn’t even let me shoot anything then. So, I was probably 11 or 12 years old and a Browning 270 Deer rifle…bad son of a gun.” Man, he had cool parents….

Welcome to The List,
Game show host Chuck Woolery died on Saturday at his home in Texas. . . . TMZ reports that he went to lie down because he wasn't feeling well.
Chuck was the original host of "Wheel of Fortune" back in the late '70s . . . he went on to host the "Scrabble" game show in the '80s . . . and of course "Love Connection" from 1983 to 1994.
He also did some later shows, like "Lingo" on the Game Show Network, and "Greed" on Fox.
There's no word on a cause of death, Chuck Woolery was 83…

"Billboard" put out their list of the Top 100 Country Singers of All Time . . . and some folks are less than pleased. Specifically, because Taylor Swift was ranked above Brooks & Dunn, Hank Williams Jr., and Toby Keith. Also, Jason Aldean didn't even make the list at all..what’s THAT all about…..

Kansas City Chiefs superstar Patrick Mahomes is making around $50 million a year. But now, his wallet will be 0.03% LIGHTER . . . thanks to FINGER GUNS.
The NFL has fined Patrick $14,069 for the "violent gesture" he made last week, while celebrating a touchdown. He'd just scored on Buffalo, and Patrick used both hands to mimic firing dual pistols.
Let's be honest . . . he wouldn't have been fined for mimicking a bow and arrow . . . throwing knives . . . or dramatically acting out the extremely violent "finishing moves" from "Mortal Kombat". (Although that would be amusing.)
