The List for Tuesday, March 22nd 2022

Welcome to The List,

Kids…ya gotta love ’em,  Especially the really young ones…in large numbers… Thomas Rhett knows all to well the chaos he went through just like most parents when he took his four of his kids out to eat. “I took all four to Chick-fil-A the other day. That was an act of God, because any time that you’re with an infant – not that every kid is not as important – but when you are literally strollering an infant into a restaurant, the other three are kinda like, ‘Hey, I hope I’ve taught you enough to where you don’t sprint into the street and you’re holding somebody’s hand, and we don’t start throwing French fries in Chick-fil-A.” Adding those are the moments that he’ll remember  when I’m like 55 or 60 years old.”

Jamey Johnson just got inducted into the Grand Ole Opry over last weekend and Carly Pearce remembers her FIRST visit.  “First time I actually got to go to the Opry, I think I was 15, 16. I just freaked out. My mom got us like second row tickets because she knew that I had to see it up close. And this is gonna be funny, but I wore a little white tank top because Dierks Bentley was there and he was a new artist, and he was singing ‘What Was I Thinkin’,’ which is funny. Maybe I’ll tell him that someday.”

We all know that Ben Stiller can do comedy.  But what about horror?  He’s going to get his chance, but on the STAGE. Ben will play Jack Torrance in a theater production of “The Shining”.  It’ll open next January in London. That’s the part Jack Nicholson played in the 1980 movie version, but the new play will stick closer to the original Stephen King novel.

Christina Ricci has returned to her “Addams Family” roots.  She’s going to be in the Netflix series, “Wednesday” that Tim Burton is making. To be clear, she will NOT be playing an older version of Wednesday.  She has a major role, but it’s being kept a surprise. Jenna Ortega is playing a teenage Wednesday, who is attending Nevermore Academy.  Catherine Zeta-Jones is playing Morticia and Luis Guzman is Gomez.

Eric Church went into Green Bay, Wisconsin last weekend as a country star . . . and left as part-owner of the Packers.  A couple of fans gifted him a tiny share of the team. It happened while he was on stage, and there’s video of it. You can check it out HERE.  You see Eric holding the official papers . . . and then showing them to a nearby camera so the crowd could see them up on the big screen.  The Packers are the only NFL team that is publicly owned.  There are over 360,000 stockholders.

Lastly, The Daily Mail says John Travolta is now licensed to fly a 737 in addition to a 707 and a 727. He owns seven planes. His Gainesville, Florida-area home has a runway for his small jet.  Some people collect Cars..others Baseball Cards dolls…John Travolta…jumbo jets…
