Welcome to The List,
As reported late yesterday, Jay Leno suffered serious burns to his face on Saturday, when one of his cars burst into flames inside a garage in Burbank. According to TMZ, Jay burned the left side of his face, but there was no damage to his eye or ear. He was taken by ambulance to a place called Grossman Burn Center, but it’s not clear if he’s still there. He had to cancel a gig on Sunday in Las Vegas. He did release a statement yesterday saying, that he’s ok, and he’s taking a couple weeks to get back on his feet.

Christina Applegate made her first public appearance yesterday since being diagnosed with MS. She was honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. She used a walking stick and posed barefoot with her star. There were speeches from her “Married…with Children” co-stars Katey Sagal and David Faustino. And “Dead to Me” co-star Linda Cardellini and creator Liz Feldman. And Katy stayed with Christina at the podium during her speech, for support.

Morgan Wallen didn’t win a CMA last week, but that’s okay, because he had a really good year. He says it’s because he stayed focused and did the work. “I think we played like 75 shows or something this year. And I did them all mostly in a sober state of mind. I was really, really focused.”

Mike Tyson and Evander Holyfield are selling cannabis-infused edibles shaped like bitten ears. They’re called Holy Ears. Mike bit a chunk out of Evander’s ear during a fight in 1997. They say it’s all about helping people…

The people over at the CMA’s are happy today!! They found out the ratings for this year’s CMA Awards were UP compared to last year. According to the “Hollywood Reporter”, 7.6 million viewers tuned in this year, compared to 6.8 million last year. The 2021 number was an all-time low, so the organizers are probably relieved that the show got a bump this year. Probably had a lot to do with the hosts…Eli Manning and Luke Bryan…maybe…

Welcome to The List,
When Cole Swindell took a knee to propose to his now-wife Courtney Little, you’d think the nerves would be about the big question, right? Nope..It was her father…They tied the knot last summer in a swoony little ceremony in Sonoma.

Morgan Wallen just dropped the news that his new album “I’m the Problem” comes out May 16th—because apparently, self-awareness is in this season. But wait—there’s more! He’s also launching “The Shop Sessions” on YouTube, where he performs acoustic versions of songs from the album in an old auto shop. Because nothing says heartbreak and horsepower like crooning next to a rusty carburetor. First one’s called “Just in Case,” and it's out now!

Kanye West is back on Twitter, proving once again that his fingers need a chaperone. He’s now accusing Taylor Swift of having flings with Justin Bieber and Harry Styles. Naturally, Taylor sent him a cease-and-desist, but that might just be the beginning. A source says Travis Kelce wants to handle things “man-to-man.” Translation: Travis is ready to turn Kanye into Yeezy pâté. This isn't drama anymore—it’s defamation, harassment, and one very bad idea away from a tight end takedown.

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are reportedly investigating why Hollywood doesn’t love them. Because when in doubt, start your own royal detective agency. Apparently, missing out on an Emmy nomination was a huge blow, and they believe there’s a coordinated hate campaign. So they’ve called in the big guns—Oprah, Ellen, and probably Scooby-Doo—to crack the case. I mean, when the whole world’s a palace of haters, who else do you trust but daytime TV royalty?
