The List for Tuesday, July 16th 2024

Welcome to The List,

The investigation into the death of Richard Simmons has led to the conclusion that after he fell in his bathroom Friday night, and refused to see a doctor.  He went to bed instead, and was found dead the next morning.  There’s still no word on the particular cause of death.

Miranda Lambert stopped her concert in Big Sky, Montana to scold a fan for not paying attention. She called out other fans for causing drama and emphasized the importance of respecting each other at her concerts. Critics were divided on her actions, with some supporting her and others feeling she should allow fans to enjoy her shows their way.

Nicolas Cage lives in Las Vegas, but he doesn’t indulge.  He says, “If you really want to spiritually ascend, put yourself in the middle of Sin City and say no.  Say no to that whiskey on the rocks, say no to that strip club, say no to that casino.” In my case, live next to a Krisy Kreme and say no to the “Hot Now” sign…good luck!

Chase Matthew tells CountryNow.com that he once chose his truck over his girlfriend. “I was dating this girl and she told me, ‘all you ever do is work on that truck and I feel like you love that truck more than me.’ She gave me the ultimatum….I kept the truck and lost her. Don’t know if I’d do the same thing now.

Will Ferrell turns 57 today.  My favorite movie of his is the one where he plays that character that’s just like the characters he plays in all his other movies.  Remember that one?

The List for Monday, April 21st 2025

Welcome to The List,

Morgan Wallen just dropped the tracklist for his new album I'm the Problem—and surprise! He wrote 22 of the 37 songs. Yup, thirty-seven. Man’s working harder than a coffee machine on Monday! He’s got his first-ever collab with a woman—Tate McRae—and some familiar voices like Post Malone, Eric Church, Hardy, and Ernest. It’s already breaking records before it's out May 16th, and his tour kicks off June 20th in Houston. This thing’s about to explode like a beer can in a bonfire!

Aaron Rodgers says football’s not the only drama in his playbook—he’s got personal issues stealing the spotlight. On The Pat McAfee Show, he spilled that life’s been “interesting” since the Jets said buh-bye in February. These days, he’s lifting weights, soul-searching, and spooning with his dog, Apollo. As for retirement? He’s not ruling it out, saying, “I’m open to anything, attached to nothing.” Translation: he might throw one more pass... or start doing yoga in the woods with Shailene again.

-----

The Daily Mail says Johnny Depp might be swash bucklin’ his way back into that eyeliner and rum breath as Captain Jack Sparrow in a brand-new Pirates of the Caribbean flick! Disney’s reportedly close to sealing the deal—yeah, even with all the past drama. Word is, the script’s done and this is a full-on reboot. Translation? More Jack. More chaos. And probably way more guyliner.

-----

Brooks & Dunn will be honored the night before the 60th ACM Awards during the "Play Something Country" gala.  Eric Church . . . Cody Johnson . . . Megan Moroney . . . Keith Urban . . . and Lainey Wilson will all be on-hand performing renditions of Brooks & Dunn's biggest hits.
