The List for Wednesday, May 11th 2022

Welcome to The List,

Starting to feel a little more summertime and a lot less springtime…before you know it we’ll be singing along with Thomas Rhett’s hit song “Slow Down Summer”. Not trying to rush anything but how did that song come about?  “We were on a trip to Montana, and we were sitting in this house just staring out into this field and we noticed that the leaves were changing, and it was getting cooler outside. I was like, man I wish summer would just slow down.” Thomas’s ‘Bring the Bar To You Tour’ with opening acts Parker Mccollum and Conner Smith is on the road and will be in Moline. IL October 13th. But if you can’t wait that long you can ALWAYS head to Nashville and the CMA Music Festival this summer.

Hockey fan Dierks Bentley had an amazing moment this week when the NHL’s Stanley Cup happened to drop by for a visit to his house. Dierks not only got to experience this – but he got to introduce the cup to his daughters Evie, and Jordan…and his very surprised son, Knox. The beers might be on Dierks Bentley, Breland and Hardy – but we don’t think they’ll be drinking them out of the Stanley Cup.

Miranda Lambert and Elle King are going to perform at the Billboard Music Awards on Sunday night on NBC…If you’ve seen Keith Urban on stage you may have noticed how HARD he works…well he says it’s because he still feels he has to prove himself doing whatever it takes to get the crowd going.

Mandy Moore talk to Jimmy Fallon about some of the things SHE took from the This Is Us’ set on the last day of filming. “I took the Stealers jersey from the Superbowl episode, I took my wedding ring. My characters wedding ring.” Only 2 episodes left…the series finally airs May 24th on NBC.

The List for Thursday, March 13th 2025

Welcome to The List,

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! Their friends, being absolute menaces, surrounded them with empty beer cans. When the couple woke up, they had a full-blown hangover without the fun part.

The List for Wednesday, March 12th 2025

Welcome to The List,

We saw THIS coming a mile away…Jennifer Garner has reportedly been given an ultimatum by her boyfriend.  If he sees another picture like the one of Jennifer and Ben Affleck cuddling at paintball, he's out the door.

-----

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.)

-----

RadarOnline.com says the Oscars bosses are considering offering Chris Rock a huge sum to host the 2026 Academy Awards in hopes he can inject excitement back into the show. It seems he has unfinished business following the Will Smith affair and he'd be a huge audience winner.
