Welcome to The List,
Getting out there for the first time can be scary, nerve racking but you have to start somewhere if you’re going to GET anywhere. Jake Owen talks about his FIRST job…”Well, I went to the local guitar shop and told this guy that I needed a guitar that plugs in because I have a gig tonight. He sold me a guitar and I went back that night. I think I played ‘Sweet Home Alabama’ four times. I made tips, I made friends, got phone numbers, called my dad and said…I got a job.” Someone once asked Jake how southern his family is…well, his mom was Florida Watermelon Queen…if that’s not southern I don’t know what is…yes, but could she do the ‘crawl’?

It’s getting a little warm in Hollywood at least around Mickey Rourke. He was doing an interview with Piers Morgan and allegedly slammed Tom Cruise for doing “Top Gun: Maverick”. “The guy’s been doing the same part for 35 years. I got no respect for that. I think he’s irrelevant in my world.”

Martin Lawrence tells Essence magazine that a fourth Bad Boys movie, with Will Smith, is in development. He says he and Will are making at least one more film for the franchise …Craig Morgan invited Jelly Roll to help him sing “Almost Home” at the Grand Ole Opry last week. The song is special to Jelly Roll because he was inspired to be a singer after seeing Craig perform it.

Don’t look for Luke Combs to be taking his newborn son on the road anytime soon…he’s not THAT guy…saying, “I think you need at least a year before the road thing. We don’t even take our dog on the road because we feel it affects his quality of life”. They want to make sure they have the parenting thing down first.

Someone came up with a list of the best country songs to put on when you need a good CRY. They include “Stay” by Sugarland . . . “Fire Away” by Chris Stapleton . . . and “I Will Always Love You” by Dolly Parton. The number ONE song on the list…Tim McGraw’s “Don’t Take The Girl”

Finally, “Travel & Leisure” put out its annual list of the best U.S. cities to visit on vacation. And Charleston, South Carolina is #1. They say it’s got the perfect balance of, quote, “Southern charm, knockout food and drinks, and walkability.” Not Hollywood or Nashville but thought it was good to know….

Welcome to The List,
TMZ says Jay Leno recently drove a tank down a residential street in L.A. The tank is outfitted with a massive gun, but it's unclear if it's functional. I would say probably not…Jay joked that he was on patrol and keeping everyone safe.. which…of course he drove a tank down his neighborhood…it’s Jay Leno!

Jada Pinkett Smith is not happy that Will passionately kissed a singer during a recent concert. A source says, “With Will out there strutting his stuff and acting like a single man, she's decided it’s time to mirror his antics. Will, on the other hand, insists he’s done nothing wrong and claims he was just 'putting on a show. But Jada feels he’s crossed a serious line.” Wait…what?

An underground explosion happened on the Texas Tech campus this past weekend that caused them to reschedule the Brooks & Dunn concert to this Thursday. Students were reporting green fire and purple smoke billowing out from pothole covers at different spots on campus. It looks like the Jokers plans are coming together nicely….

Apparently, Tom has a problem with being to head strong and it rubs people the wrong way…

Megan Moroney is unlucky in love. Whiskey Riff quotes her as saying, “I feel like I’ve always had bad taste in men. I had a really sweet boyfriend in fifth grade, and I broke up with him because I wanted to date the eighth-grade bad boy who had failed a bunch of times.”…I think I know why Megan…call me…
