The List for Tuesday, October 4th 2022

Welcome to The List,

Will Smith’s new movie “Emancipation” will hit theaters on December 2nd . . . making it eligible for next year’s Oscars. Even if Will gets nominated, he can’t be there.  He’s serving a 10-year ban for slapping Chris Rock at this year’s ceremony. “Emancipation” is based on the true story of a runaway slave who escapes to the North and joins the Union Army.

“House of the Dragon” fans are up in arms over Episode 7 because scenes were so dark they could barely tell what was going on. Some viewers called the episode “unwatchable” . . . and one even claimed it was, quote, “literally a whole episode of black screen.” Well, HBO has responded to a fan saying quote, “We appreciate you reaching out about a night scene in House of the Dragon: Episode 7 appearing dark on your screen.  The dimmed lighting of this scene was an intentional creative decision.  Thanks!”

There’s still no word on Coolio’s cause of death.  But sources close to him say he had severe asthma, and that may have been a contributing factor. Apparently, he struggled with asthma over the years and traveled with several inhalers to keep it in check.  He would even use them onstage sometimes.  Coolio died in the bathroom of a friend’s house in L.A. last Wednesday.  The friend had to break down the door to get to him.  When paramedics arrived, they worked on Coolio for 45 minutes before pronouncing him dead. Coolio was 59.

Some have cats…some have dogs…some have Bison??  Chase Rice has…Bison!!  CMT’s “Hot 20” visited his Nashville farm . . . and when he opened a bag of feed, his herd of bison came trotting in for lunch. He said, quote, “During quarantine I had all this land, but I didn’t have any of the fencing.  I thought about cattle.  Didn’t really want to do that.  I love bison.  I love the west.  [These] are my pets.  It’s weird.  I get that.  But they’re awesome.”

The List for Thursday, March 6th 2025

Welcome to The List,

Page Six reports that Ben Affleck is allegedly open to rekindling things with Jennifer Garner—because apparently, he’s trying to complete the Jennifer Infinity Gauntlet.   But Garner is reportedly not interested, which makes sense—why go back to your ex when you’ve upgraded to a man who doesn’t look like he lost a fight with Dunkin’ Donuts?

Eric Church's bar, Chief's, now has a drink named after Morgan Wallen called "The Chair".  It’s a $19 Vodka drink, that features a small folding chair hanging over the rim. Chief's is where Morgan was arrested last year for throwing a chair off a six-story balcony.

Deadline Hollywood says a Randy Travis biopic is in the works. Clay Walker will play Travis in his 40s and 50s in the upcoming film. The movie, titled "Forever And Ever, Amen," will showcase Travis' legendary music career.  Travis and his wife Mary are executive producers.

-----

RadarOnline reports that celebrities are terrified they might go blind from using Ozempic—because apparently, nothing says “Hollywood” like risking your eyesight just to fit into a size zero.  Doctors say the drug has been linked to vision loss, which means some stars might finally have an excuse for their terrible movie choices.

An insider reveals, “She’s tried to get Mike to eat more salads and meat-alternative foods, but he’s a die-hard meat lover.  Mike is stubbornly refusing to change, and she’s none too happy about it because the smell of Mike’s steak searing in the pan makes her nauseated!”   File this under “Things you should have known BEFORE you got married”.
