The List for Tuesday, July 16th 2024

Welcome to The List,

The investigation into the death of Richard Simmons has led to the conclusion that after he fell in his bathroom Friday night, and refused to see a doctor.  He went to bed instead, and was found dead the next morning.  There’s still no word on the particular cause of death.

Miranda Lambert stopped her concert in Big Sky, Montana to scold a fan for not paying attention. She called out other fans for causing drama and emphasized the importance of respecting each other at her concerts. Critics were divided on her actions, with some supporting her and others feeling she should allow fans to enjoy her shows their way.

Nicolas Cage lives in Las Vegas, but he doesn’t indulge.  He says, “If you really want to spiritually ascend, put yourself in the middle of Sin City and say no.  Say no to that whiskey on the rocks, say no to that strip club, say no to that casino.” In my case, live next to a Krisy Kreme and say no to the “Hot Now” sign…good luck!

Chase Matthew tells CountryNow.com that he once chose his truck over his girlfriend. “I was dating this girl and she told me, ‘all you ever do is work on that truck and I feel like you love that truck more than me.’ She gave me the ultimatum….I kept the truck and lost her. Don’t know if I’d do the same thing now.

Will Ferrell turns 57 today.  My favorite movie of his is the one where he plays that character that’s just like the characters he plays in all his other movies.  Remember that one?
