Welcome to The List,

Oscar and Tony-nominated actor Jake Gyllenhaal is officially set to star in ‘Roadhouse’ a reimagined take on the classic movie starring Patrick Swayze, for Amazon’s Prime Video.

We heard that Chris Stapleton’s Outlaw State of Kind Fund was helping Eastern Kentucky flood victims, but that’s only half the story.  Chris has been on the ground helping in every way possible. Somebody shared a photo of him posing with some law enforcement officers.  They wrote, “Chris wanted to help with anything, literally anything.  No job was too small or beneath him.  Someone else took a pic of him in Walmart buying supplies.

Have you ever been enjoying a nice, peaceful walk, and then been rudely interrupted by . . . Tom Cruise doing daredevil stunts?  Probably not.  But that’s what happened to a couple in the U.K.  They were out walking on a mountain when Tom arrived . . . on a helicopter at the top of mountain . . . to do a paragliding stunt. He apologized to them when he noticed them with their dog.  He said, “Sorry for disturbing your peaceful walk with all the noise.  I like your dog.”  And then “See you later, folks” and then JUMPED OFF THE CLIFF.

Tim McGraw is headlining Saturday’s concert at Nashville’s Music City Grand Prix.  You might see him driving too. “I’m hopin they’ll let me get in one of those cars, I doubt they’ll let me do that.  My people are lookin at me like no, no, no, because they know I want to.”  The self proclaimed adrenaline junky says he’s going to try his best though…

Rumors about Brad Pitt retiring are not true.  Brad is clarifying that he’s NOT retiring.  He’s just going to be extra selective on the roles he plays since he’s “past middle age.” He’s keeping his eyes open for “What feels right for the next project”  His NEXT stop is ‘Bullet Train’ looks like a fun bad guy kinda movie.  Is in theaters Friday.

Let’s preface this next story  by saying that if you’re ever too tired to drive, please pull over.  Here’s why we mention it . . .researchers came up with the country songs that are most likely to put you to SLEEP, and there’s actually some science behind it.  They compared the features of each song to different lullabies. At the top of the list, ‘Girl Crush’ by Little Big Town and Cam’s ‘Burning House” – two of Luke Combs songs made the list ‘Better Together’ and ‘Beautiful Crazy’…

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!

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.)
