The List for Wednesday, January 11th 2023

Welcome to The List,

Have we learned nothing from “Gigli”?  Apparently not, because Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez appear to be working together again.  Luckily, this time it’s only a commercial.  Possibly a Super Bowl commercial. Ben was spotted working the drive-thru at a Dunkin’ Donuts in Boston yesterday . . . and Jennifer was one of his “customers”.

You might remember back in 2019 Arnold Schwarzenegger said that O.J. Simpson was originally cast as the lead in “The Terminator”. Now, to refresh your memory, Arnold said, “Somehow James Cameron felt that he was not as believable for a killing machine.  So then they hired me.”  Well, on a recent episode of the HBO Max show, “Who’s Talking to Chris Wallace”, James shot down Arnold’s claims. He said, ‘I actually thought it was a bad idea.’  So, It didn’t go anywhere.”  Yeah, I can’t see O.J. Simson chasing down and killing an incent blonde woman….

George Strait never goes out of style, so when he even hints about recording new music, people listen.  “Cowboys and Indians” magazine asked what kind of lyrics he looks for in a song, He says he’s narrowing down his song choices now.” As for what he looks for in a song, it HAS to have a great melody, and if the lyrics are also good, then he’s interested. .” So, there WILL be new music, but it’ll be a while before we hear it because he’s still searching for songs.

Congratulations Jelly Roll, he hit up Facebook to celebrate “Son of a Sinner” becoming his first Number One country hit.  He thanked tons of people in the writeup, but this sums up his feelings.  Quote, “I’m so filled with gratitude as tears stream down my face while I type this.  I currently have the #1 song on country radio.”

“Titanic” is coming back to theaters next month for its 25th anniversary.  The film which clocks in at 3 hours and 15 minutes and won a record 11 Academy Awards in 1998, So, we can watch Jack sinks into the water this time it’ll be in 3D 4K HDR with high-frame rate. “Titanic” the 25th anniversary hits theaters February 10th.

Taking to Instagram on Wednesday, Faith Hill shared a video of her husband singing and dancing to Rodrigo’s No. 1 hit “Good 4 U” in the car, telling fans it’s a “rare” peek into his life. “This is a rare, very rare look into a side of my husband that only his girls and I get to see,” Check out the Instagram post.

The List for Tuesday, February 4th 2025

Welcome to The List,

With all the talk about the Grammy awards…even bigger conversations are being had about the red carpet.  Specifically, Kanye West’s wife, Bianca Censori, and her see-through dress.  She could face jail time for wearing it.  The Daily Mail says calls are being made to ban Kanye West and Bianca Censori from all red carpets after their nude stunt at the Grammys.  The shocking red carpet moment cost Kanye a $20 million deal in Japan. If you haven’t seen it…it’s not for children…and children from the Make A Wish foundation were there…for the whole thing…

Still no word on when Morgan Wallen's new album "I'm the Problem" will drop.  But it looks like it'll be a big one in more ways than one.  He posted a photo to his Instagram Stories that suggests it'll be another DOUBLE album.
