The List for Tuesday, July 12th 2022

Welcome to The List,

Being star struck…it happens…when you meet Kenny Chesney or  Luke Combs, or Garth…it EVEN happens to the stars!! Take Carrie Underwood for example. In an interview she talked about HER moment…” Janet Jackson blew me a kiss, I was looking around to see who like who she…my friend who was with me was like blow one back!  I was like I froze!!! Now the moments passed, and it would be weird if I’m just over there like just waving or something like a weirdo.” The self-proclaimed ‘home body’ says she would never get out if it weren’t for her husband…so if you’re ever in Nashville try not to be to star struck!

Shark Week!! It’s back on Discovery, kicks off Sunday July 24th .  The 34th annual Shark week has for the FIRST TIME EVER a master of ceremonies Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson.  Some of this year’s crazier-sounding Shark Week specials include “Jaws vs. Kraken”,“Pigs vs. Shark”, and “Mechashark Love Down Under”.  No word on if there’s any of the Sharknado movies.

Tim McGraw says he is working on his 16th studio album. Billboard magazine quotes him as saying, “I’m in the middle of it. I’ve probably mixed eight so far and will record a few more soon. I’m sure we’ll have something off the new album here before too long. I don’t know when the album will drop.”

It seems Walker Hayes is ALWAYS on Tik Tok or doing some kind of dance video with his kids…that’s something you’ll NEVER see Country Star Randy Houser doing.  Saying he HATES the idea of posting stuff on TikTok just to go viral.  He’s ok with posting on social media, one look at his Instagram and you’ll see he does it all the time..but draws the line at Tik Tok.

BuzzFeed has a poll of which early 2000s celebrity heartthrobs are still crush-worthy.  Those who still got it include Orlando Bloom, Paul Rudd, and Chris Evans.  Those who don’t are Justin Timberlake, Ashton Kutcher, and Nick Lachey

Olympian Simone Biles was mistaken for a child on her flight home after receiving the Presidential Medal of Freedom.  A flight attendant even tried giving her a coloring book.  Probably because she’s 4-foot-8.

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.

-----

Zach Top Says He always wanted to be a cowboy when he was a kid…But…He realized early on the closest he could get to being a cowboy was singing about them.

-----

Taylor Swift is allegedly hiding and not speaking to friends because of the mess involving Justin Baldoni and her friend Blake Lively. A source says, 'She is still in touch with a select few but currently doesn't want to be dragging anyone else into this mess. She’s going to continue to lay low and is quite content playing house with the man she loves.’’

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”.
