The List for Monday, August 1st 2022

Welcome to The List,

Someone once said that major celebrity deaths come in THREES.  It’s unclear who first said that . . . and if they’ve died, who were the other two people who died at the same time.   We lost three beloved celebrity old-schoolers over the weekend.  Nichelle Nichols from “Star Trek” . . . NBA legend Bill Russell . . . and actress Pat Carroll, who provided the voice of Ursula in “The Little Mermaid”.

Luke Bryan brought a little happiness to two boys at his show on Saturday.  They were holding up a T-shirt that said, “Our dad died.  Can we sing ‘Drink a Beer’ together?”  Not only did he sing with them, but he also put on the shirt.

—–

Britney Spears finished writing a tell-all, but it won’t come out anytime soon . . . because there isn’t enough paper.  Lucky US…There’s apparently a global paper shortage, so until it’s resolved, there isn’t an estimated release date.

—–

On Friday, Will Smith put out a five-minute video, where he apologizes for slapping Chris Rock at the Oscars.  It seems sincere, but it also took him almost SIX MONTHS to put out. The video is titled “It’s been a minute,” and it HAS.  Actually, it’s been about 244,000 MINUTES since the Oscars.  In it he says,  he’s reached out to Chris Rock and hasn’t heard anything back yet,  Jada had nothing to do with it and that he is devoted to bringing joy into the world.

Tragedy struck Kenny Chesney’s show in Denver on Saturday when a fan fell off the side of an escalator and died.  Police said she was sitting on the railing when it happened.  Kenny was “devastated” by the news, and said he’s grieving for the woman and her family.

—–

Twitter went wild over a fan page showing that George Jetson from “The Jetsons” was born . . . yesterday July 31st 2022…..

The List for Monday, March 30th 2026

Welcome to The List,

Tiger Woods is back in the headlines after flipping his Land Rover in Florida trying to pass a truck with a trailer. The vehicle ended up on its side, he crawled out like it was no big deal, and somehow nobody was hurt. He blew a 0.00 on a breathalyzer but refused a blood test and was charged with DUI and property damage. So yeah, that “no alcohol” part isn’t exactly calming anyone down.

-----

Keith Urban is dealing with some awkward rumors linking him to younger Nashville singers, and apparently his daughters are not loving the headlines. Sources say it’s a bad look no matter what, because either he comes off like a womanizer or a guy striking out. Meanwhile, the women involved are flat-out denying everything.

-----

Country legend Charlie Daniels is making a return in hologram form for America’s 250th birthday celebration. The show is set for Fort Campbell and will feature performances from Aaron Tippin and others, along with a digital version of Charlie headlining. His son says it’s a dream come true, which is sweet… but also a little “we’re living in the future now.”

-----

Michael Jordan says he still dreams about making an NBA comeback… in his 60s. He told CBS that competitive fire never really leaves, and he’d love to pick up a basketball again at that level. Which is adorable, because most of us dream about getting off the couch without making a noise.

The List for Friday, March 27th 2026

Welcome to The List,

Carrie Underwood says her boys can sing, but she is not handing out tiny little record deals just because Mom can hit a note. Her oldest is already a mini-Carrie, super into music, but she says the music business can wait until he is older and knows who he is. One minute Mom is on stage in sequins, next minute she is making dinner like nothing happened. Country queen by night, casserole ninja by six.

-----

Morgan Wallen says he is done hiding behind excuses, and that might be the most grown-up sentence he has ever said out loud. He told CMT that back then, there was always something to blame when things went sideways. Now he says if he messes up, it is on him. Accountability..

-----

Netflix just raised prices again, and at this point your streaming bill is starting to look like a car payment. The ad plan is now $8.99, standard is $19.99, and premium jumps to $26.99. Remember when cutting the cord was supposed to save money? Now we are all just paying cable prices with extra steps. Congrats, we played ourselves.

-----

The iHeartRadio Music Awards wrapped up last night, and if you are guessing who won everything, go ahead and say it with me. Taylor Swift. Again. Save everybody a few hours. Show up, wave, collect hardware, repeat.
