The List for Wednesday, April 27th 2022

Welcome to The List,

Cary Elwes from “The Princess Bride” had to be airlifted to the hospital after getting bitten on the finger by a rattlesnake on Saturday.  He’s recovering well and commented “Bit not by a R.O.U.S. but a rattlesnake.   An R.O.U.S. is a creature from “Princess Bride”.  It stands for Rodents of Unusual Size.

 —–

A video of Darius Rucker shouting “[eff] Tennessee” has gone viral.  It was during a free concert on Sunday that honored the University of South Carolina women’s basketball team.  During his performance of “Wagon Wheel”  Instead of singing “from the Cumberland Gap to Johnson City, Tennessee” . . . they all belted out “from the Cumberland Gap to [Eff], Tennessee.”

Director James Gunn went to bat for Chris Pratt on Twitter when a bunch of people randomly called for Chris Pratt’s Star-Lord character from “Guardians of the Galaxy” to be recast.  Well, director James Gunn wasn’t having any of it.  James replied, “For what?  Because of your made-up, utterly-false beliefs about him?  For something that someone else told you about him that’s not true?  Chris would never be replaced as Star-Lord but, if he ever was, we would all be going with him.”

The Santa Fe County Sheriff’s Department has released police bodycam footage of the moments following the shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the set of Rust.  Search warrants later revealed that the film’s armorer, Hannah Gutierrez Reed, loaded the Colt .45 believing a real bullet was a dummy round. She then handed the weapon to first assistant director who skipped the customary safety run-through.

Strong will and determination to make it…that’s what it takes.  Just ask Luke Bryan about long hard days….  In an interview on Apple Music Country, Luke talked about working at his dad’s peanut mill after college.  They were 15-hour days that left him so wrung out it felt like he’d been in a gang fight.  And yet, he still played concerts on the weekends with his lungs full of peanut dust….

The Verge says famed director JJ Abrams is teaming with Warner Brothers for a new live action Hot Wheels movie. Plot details are being kept a secret

The List for Thursday, August 21st 2025

 

 

Welcome to The List,

Jelly Roll may need to slow his roll… literally. Word is, he’s risking his health by wrestling for the WWE. Friends are begging him to stop, but apparently this is his new “high.” He’s off the hard stuff, but now he’s hooked on body slams and suplexes. The problem? His friends say he loves the adrenaline and the fans way too much to quit.

-----

So, fun fact there’s a Rambo reboot in the works. Did you know that? Yeah, me neither. And apparently Sylvester Stallone is ticked because Ryan Gosling didn’t get the part. Nope, the studio went with Noah Centineo. Sly thinks Ryan had the grit, the depth, the “Rambo-ness.” But the studio wanted someone younger.  Raise your hand if YOU asked for a Rambo reboot. …Crickets.

-----

Brooke Hogan is still waving the “something’s fishy” flag about her dad’s death. Now she’s saying even cops and nurses are quietly backing her up. No word yet on what the “fishiness” is… but if Brooke’s right, Hulkamania might not be the wildest story here.

-----

Dolly Parton is officially soda-fied! Coca-Cola just announced “40th Pop Fizz” to celebrate Dollywood’s 40th anniversary. It’s a creamy cherry flavor, So basically cherry Coke got a Dolly wig and a rhinestone makeover.

The List for Wednesday, August 20th 2025

Welcome to The List,

Celebrity boxing is officially out of ideas now they want Kevin Federline and Sam Asghari to duke it out in “The Battle of Britney’s Exes.” Yes, a pay-per-view fight where the winner gets a belt and the loser… moves back in with Britney. This isn’t boxing, it’s daytime TV with punching. Somewhere, Jerry Springer is proud.

-----

Nicole Kidman is moving to Portugal… solo. And apparently that’s “marriage trouble” code for: Keith Urban didn’t pack his boots. Friends say it’s a bold signal their perfect marriage might not be so perfect.

-----

Kenny Chesney is writing his memoir and shocker, it involves beaches, waves, and Kenny reflecting on his “soul journey.” Expect 300 pages of him sitting shirtless by the ocean saying, “Life’s a magic carpet ride, man.” Basically, Jimmy Buffett, but with more biceps.

-----

Orlando Bloom wants everybody back for the new Pirates of the Caribbean reboot. His big idea? “If the script is good… let’s just bring back everyone.” Groundbreaking, Orlando. Sure, let’s roll the dice and see if Johnny Depp still remembers how to wobble like Jack Sparrow without falling over.
