Welcome to The List,
I can sum up last night’s “People’s Choice Awards” in three words: Lizzo . . . Selma . . . Shania. Lizzo received the People’s Champion Award, “To be an icon isn’t about how long you’ve had your platform. Being an icon is what you do with that platform.” Then she brought 17 female activists onstage, introducing each one by name, and explaining the work they do Selma Blair won Competition Contestant of the Year for doing “Dancing with the Stars” while battling MS. Shania Twain picked up the Music Icon Award and proved exactly why she deserved it with a fantastic medley of her hits.

Kane Brown tells Music Mayhem magazine that he plans to do another duet with his wife. Saying, “The support me and my wife have gotten for our song warms both our hearts. There will definitely be another song with us in the future. We’re gonna write another song and release it. We just want it to be better than this one.”

Joe Rogan has issued a challenge to The Rock: Admit you’re on steroids. On a recent episode of his podcast, Rogan said, quote, “The Rock should come clean right now . . . “There’s not a chance in hell he’s clean, not a chance in hell as big as The Rock is at 50” ..Adding He is so massive and he’s so different than he was when he was 30.” And while he didn’t directly accuse them, he noted that Chris Hemsworth and Hugh Jackman got “super-jacked” for their superhero roles.

Showtime says “George & Tammy” was its most-watched premiere ever. Jessica Chastain stars as Tammy Wynette, and Michael Shannon plays George Jones. It aired Sunday on Showtime, Paramount+, and CMT, and pulled in 3.3 million combined viewers. You can probably catch it still on those streaming networks.

The Judd family is dropping their lawsuit over Naomi Judd’s death records. They were trying to block the release of the police files over privacy concerns. But now, they’re letting it go. A judge is expected to approve the voluntary dismissal.

Welcome to The List,
Glen Powell from “Twisters” and “Top Gun Maverick” fame, called in to a lookalike contest of him in his home town of Austin, Texas. And he gave the winner the opportunity to put their parents or any family member in his next movie. Glen’s mom Cyndy was even in the crowd to give her approval and called up Glen on FaceTime to share a message. The winner was a physician's assistant from Austin. In addition to Glen's prize, he also got $5 . . . a cowboy hat . . . and free queso from Torchy's for a year.

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.)

Chris Stapleton and Brooks & Dunn are now tied with the most CMA Awards in history. They have 19 wins each.
