The List for Monday, January 17th 2021

Welcome to The List,

Willie Nelson says he’s done smoking pot. Yep—he’s hung up the lighter and picked up the gummy bears. In a “Forbes” interview, he said his lungs officially filed a complaint, so now he sticks to edibles. Just picture it: Willie chillin’ on the bus, snacking like a stoned grandma at bedtime.

Liquid Death sold ten empty cans of iced tea... that Ozzy Osbourne drank from. They were $450 each, came with his DNA and a personal autograph. And YES—they sold out instantly. Because nothing says "collector’s item" like sipping what's basically Ozzy's rock 'n’ roll backwash.

-----

Jeff Gordon says Tom Cruise is doing Days of Thunder 2! Apparently, Tom saw Jeff at the “Mission: Impossible” premiere and opened with, “We’re doing it.” Because Tom Cruise doesn’t small talk—he sequel talks. Let’s hope the cars are fast and the acting is... well, Tom Cruise-ish.

Big love to Jelly Roll and Bunnie XO—she shared a video crying tears of joy after finally getting good news on their IVF journey. Five months of struggle, and then—bam—miracle moment. And somewhere, God whispered, “Alright already, here you go.” Man, pass the tissues and the happy dance.

Welcome to The List,

NBC was covering the Army's big 250th bash, when surprise performer Warren Zeiders hit the stage—and the hosts? Clueless. One said, “I don’t know who this is,” and the other added, “Time for the Google.” Yikes. Country fans everywhere collectively screamed “IT’S WARREN, NOT WALLEN!” He was singing “Ride the Lightning” while the hosts were riding the struggle bus.

-----

Kane Brown just pulled a very Kane Brown move. Dude grabbed a Walmart loudspeaker and straight-up said, “This is Kane Brown—I’m playing y’all my new song!” Mid-intercom concert, an employee rushes over like, “Sir, you can’t Kane here.” But instead of explaining, Kane just BOLTS—full-on supermarket sprint. The whole thing feels staged, but watching him escape like he stole a rotisserie chicken? Comedy gold. Click HERE to see the video.

Brad Pitt says he’s totally open to working with Tom Cruise again—as long as it doesn’t involve dangling off airplanes. He basically said, “If Tom wants to fly, he can fly solo.” Brad’s all about the acting, not the aerial acrobatics. Honestly, same. I don’t even want to hang off a rollercoaster, let alone a plane.

Arnold Schwarzenegger says gym life has changed since his son Patrick starred in White Lotus. He walks in, expecting attention, but now women are like, “Hey big guy, can you give this to your son?” Arnold’s fine with it, though—he says if Patrick outshines him, he’ll die happy. Translation: “I’ll be back…but as the dad of the hot guy.”
