Luke Combs being the positive person he is looks at the bright side of the pandemic – “I think it’s the perfect opportunity to be writing the best songs you’ve ever written, to be engaging with your fan base more that you’ve ever done. That’s all I’ve ever tried to do over the last seven or eight months, that’s all any of us can do. But, just write songs, connect with your fans, get in the studio do whatever you can to keep moving forward and you know adapt to the situation.”

America’s Funniest Home Videos” returns Sunday on ABC.
SNL star Colin Jost was a contestant on the ‘Weakest Link’ and tells Ellen how awful he was on the show – “I never watched the show so I didn’t know how game worked. It was communal so it would come to you and had to say the word ‘bank’ to bank all the money all the money the other contestants has been winning before it got to you. Every time they would call me, I’d say ‘yes?’ they’d say ‘you didn’t bank the money’ every other contestant must have hated me, I lost all their money.” Colin wants Michael Che and Ellen to ‘object’ at his wedding when he marries Scarlett Johansson..

Welcome to The List…
Hollywood’s biggest fear is officially here. Dead actors… still booking roles. A new movie is using A.I. to bring Val Kilmer back. Yeah. From the grave… straight to the premiere. The director says Val wanted this. His family signed off too. Which is great… until your Netflix suggestions start haunting you. Somewhere an Oscar just felt uncomfortable.

Tom Brady says he wears a disguise to his kids’ games. Not kidding. Hoodie. Hat. Full undercover quarterback mode. Apparently the kids don’t want attention on them because… you know… their dad is TOM BRADY. Imagine trying to sneak into a gym when you’re built like a superhero statue. Sir… we still know it’s you.

Rumor is Keith Urban might be going through a midlife crisis after the split. Sources say he wants to live the single life again. Totally different person now. Which honestly just sounds like every guy who suddenly discovers energy drinks and fitted jeans. Next step is obvious. Corvette. New Balance. Bluetooth headset.

Kenny Chesney just launched his own record label. Big move. Real boss energy. It’s named after his boat… because of course it is. And the first artist he signed…drumroll… Kenny Chesney. Man skipped the middleman and hired himself. HR meeting must be real smooth.
