The List for Tuesday, June 7th 2022

Welcome to The List,

—–

You better go see Top Gun: Maverick while you can, a copyright lawsuit is seeking to have “Top Gun: Maverick” pulled from theaters.  The original film was based on a magazine story, and the heirs of the writer say they’ve regained the rights to that story, so the sequel is unauthorized….with a domestic box office take of over $900 Million globally after five weeks, I think you can pay out a little bit.

When you want to make it in the music industry you would be surprised the things you would go through to make that dream happen. Lainey Wilson remembers living in a camper with a broken furnace when she was trying to get noticed in Nashville.  She believes it was God’s way of preparing her to work even harder . . . so when she did break through, she’d have a lot to say and share. Boy does she…

Matthew McConaughey supports the Second Amendment, but believes in common sense reform because, quote, “Business as usual isn’t working.”  He’s advocating for things like universal background checks and red flag laws.  Something tells me he’s not going to do so well in Texas.

—–

We should probably get used to seeing Kenny Chesney posing with NFL stars as he hits the stadiums on his ‘Here and Now’ Tour.  He performed at AT&T Stadium in Texas on Saturday and posted pics of himself on stage with Cowboys’ quarterback Dak Prescott and coach Mike McCarthy.

—–

Neve Campbell will not be in “Scream 6” due to a pay dispute.  Saying she felt the offer that was presented to her did not equate to the value she’s brought to the franchise.  This will be the first “Scream” movie she’s not in. Filming could get underway very soon with a projected release date of March 2023.

—–

 Kacey Musgraves says she encountered hostile behavior from an American Airlines employee on a recent flight.  She shared the story on social media, saying she felt “unsafe and upset to the point of crying.”  The airline heard about it and told “Billboard” they’ve reached out to Kacey.

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”.
