The List for Tuesday, November 1st 2022

Welcome to The List,

At a time when it seems like every horror property is being dug up and re-animated, the one title that HASN’T come up is “Friday the 13th” until now.. A PREQUEL SERIES is in development at Peacock.  No plot details have been announced yet.  But there’s talk it could be something like the “Psycho” prequel series “Bates Motel”.  So if you’re hoping for the Jason with the hockey mask and the machete, that might not be what this is.

Jason and Brittany Aldean posted a very funny Halloween video of themselves doing a news report as “Anchorman” characters Ron Burgundy and Veronica Corningstone.  It’s filled with jokes about “woke culture” and their beef with Maren Morris.  They do a story about Luke Bryan “driving the country girls crazy” simply by eating peanut butter and Kane Brown on TikTok dancing, They close it off with Ron saying, “stay country” . . . and Veronica insisting everyone “stay woke”.

—–

Hardy and Caleigh Ryan got married on Saturday in Nashville.  And Lauren Alaina CAUGHT the bouquet.  She said, quote, “Hardy told me I was next before I even caught it.”  And no, she didn’t wear white, her dress was mint.

 —–

Epic stream says Ben Affleck is paying for Jennifer Lopez’s expensive tastes. A source tells the website, “He’s like her personal bank account. He pays for their private jet flights, their vacations, hotels, lavish gifts from clothing to jewelry, and fine dining whenever they go out. It’s pretty ironic since he’s not worth nearly what she is — but he knows he’s paying off an emotional, as well as financial, debt.”…so, a marriage of guilt?

—–

Mariah Carey has set a new standard for the start of the Christmas season, and she has claimed the season all for herself. The singer posted a dramatic video of herself dressed up for Halloween on Monday night, but when the clock struck midnight, she changed straight into her Christmas costume. The “All I Need for Christmas” singer continues to lean into her holiday stardom.

—–

Lee Brice got a head start on the holidays by releasing a new Christmas song.  It’s called “Santa Claus Was My Uber Driver” . . . and it was inspired by a real-life Uber driver who picked him up while dressed as Jolly Old St. Nick.

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.

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”.
