The List for Tuesday, October 18th 2022

Welcome to The List,

Tis the season in October.. The first teaser for the “Christmas Story” sequel is here . . . but it doesn’t seem to include any new footage . . . just an extreme closeup of Peter Billingsley, as the adult Ralphie, putting on his glasses.  The movie is called “A Christmas Story Christmas”, and it hits HBO Max on November 17th.

James Corden is he as sweet and gentle as he seems on TV?  There’s at least one guy who doesn’t think so.  His name is Keith McNally, and he owns a restaurant called Balthazar in New York City. And yesterday, he posted on Instagram that he’s BANNING Corden because he’s, quote, “a tiny cretin of a man” and “the most abusive customer to my servers since the restaurant opened 25 years ago.”   No word yet from Corden.. if he’s so bad, why did it take 25 years.

Jason Aldean and his wife Brittany may never settle their beef with Maren Morris.  Why should they when both sides seem to be having a blast trolling each other.  Jason at his show on Friday in Nashville, told the crowd he might bring up a special guest.   I could call Luke Bryan.  I could call Kane Brown.  See if Kenny Chesney’s here and not at the beach.”  The crowd cheered after each name.  But when he said Maren Morris’ name they started booing.

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.

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.)
