Welcome to The List,
Well, can’t wait for this one to hit theaters…Chuck Norris can cure a zombie by biting it. I don’t know if that was ever an official Chuck Norris Fact, but it might be soon. Because someone was FINALLY smart enough to put Chuck in a zombie movie. It’s called “Zombie Plane”, and Chuck will actually be playing HIMSELF. So will Vanilla Ice. In the movie, the government has trained celebrities to be undercover agents . . . which explains Vanilla Ice being able to kick zombie butt. Obviously, there was never any doubt about Chuck. There’s no word when we’ll be able to bask in the glow of its cinematic brilliance.

Some people want a fast car…others a nice new home…Chris Janson? Well, he’s kind of a bird of a different feather…he tells CMT that HIS dream is to own a civil war cannon! In fact he’s actively looking for one. Saying “I don’t know what I’ll do with one if I get it…I just know I want one.”

“Top Gun” is now a reality show. “Top Gun: The Next Generation” is coming to Nat Geo, but a premiere date hasn’t been announced yet. The show will follow Navy student pilots “every step of the way” during training, as they embark on, quote, “some of the most challenging flight tests possible, including landing on an aircraft carrier at sea.” This will reportedly be the first time this level of access has been given to the pilot training program.

Welcome to The List,
Game show host Chuck Woolery died on Saturday at his home in Texas. . . . TMZ reports that he went to lie down because he wasn't feeling well.
Chuck was the original host of "Wheel of Fortune" back in the late '70s . . . he went on to host the "Scrabble" game show in the '80s . . . and of course "Love Connection" from 1983 to 1994.
He also did some later shows, like "Lingo" on the Game Show Network, and "Greed" on Fox.
There's no word on a cause of death, Chuck Woolery was 83…

"Billboard" put out their list of the Top 100 Country Singers of All Time . . . and some folks are less than pleased. Specifically, because Taylor Swift was ranked above Brooks & Dunn, Hank Williams Jr., and Toby Keith. Also, Jason Aldean didn't even make the list at all..what’s THAT all about…..

Kansas City Chiefs superstar Patrick Mahomes is making around $50 million a year. But now, his wallet will be 0.03% LIGHTER . . . thanks to FINGER GUNS.
The NFL has fined Patrick $14,069 for the "violent gesture" he made last week, while celebrating a touchdown. He'd just scored on Buffalo, and Patrick used both hands to mimic firing dual pistols.
Let's be honest . . . he wouldn't have been fined for mimicking a bow and arrow . . . throwing knives . . . or dramatically acting out the extremely violent "finishing moves" from "Mortal Kombat". (Although that would be amusing.)
