Welcome to The List,
Luke Bryan, at one time peanut farmer…Country music superstar…Judge for American Idol…tells The Tennessean that he spent a good portion of 2022 helping raise awareness for pig farming. Showcasing pig farmers in a better light and showed just how technologically-advanced pig farming operations are. Any time people can go purchase their food and feel good about how that process was, I think it helps farming and pig farmers everywhere.”

Get up early Christmas morning…and head for the tree…but FIRST…you have certain things that gotta happen right? It’s called tradition. Well Justin Moore shares his Christmas morning family traditions … “Our main thing that we do on Christmas morning is we have a Christmas brunch with my in-laws. They’re from Louisiana – they like to drink – so we have mimosas and Kate makes waffles and we make this big huge production of a brunch.” And then it’s breathalyzers all round…gumbo and presents…

AceShowbiz.com says many of Cher’s friends are worried about her dating habits…Cher, who is 76, is dating Alexander “AE” Edwards, who is 36. They think she is in way over her head and want her to see this for what it is a fun winter fling. They don’t want her to get carried away.”

Jackson Dean tells Songwriter Universe magazine that his debut album, “Greenbroke,” is full of songs that paint pictures of America. Saying “It’s a big sound, and there’s a lot going on at one time. Some of it is a little in your face, and some of it is a little space-ish, but it all really has a landscape. “Greenbroke” comes out March 11th.

Most have a favorite Christmas movie…The Grinch, Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer…Die Hard…Jordan Davis tells us about his favorite “The one Christmas movie I have to watch, which Elf has slowly taken over that spot, but I would have to say It’s a Wonderful Life. Then moving to Nashville, they play it at a theater here in town, and it’s something that I really look forward to going and seeing that movie. Man, it’s just a great movie.”

For the comic book movie lovers, the DC Universe just got blasted with many of the new movies being cancelled…The new Wonder Woman movie, The Flash…including the latest franchise with Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson’s Black Adam…but he tells US Weekly magazine. He believes his character, may yet have a future in the DC movie universe. Maybe not right away…but down the road in the DC multiverse chapters….Oh yeah….He’s The Rock and he can smell what Hollywood is cooking…so cheezy…

Welcome to The List,
Brantley Gilbert sang “Dirt Road Anthem” at the Turning Point USA halftime show, and Zach Bryan took it personally. So Zach dropped a parody called “Chili on a Hot Dog,” basically roasting the lyrics and celebrating double-fisted chili dogs like it’s a county fair championship. Brantley fired back by grabbing two foot-long chili dogs on stage and acting it out. Jason Aldean chimed in with, “Best song I’ve heard from that guy.” Nothing says country unity like processed meat.

Thomas Rhett admitted on a podcast he’s losing hearing in one ear at 35 and had to get hearing aids. Years of loud concerts… plus four kids and a fifth on the way. He wore them for a week and asked his wife, “Is this what you hear all day?” She basically said, welcome to marriage. Turns out the loudest tour of his life is at home.

There’s a new indie horror movie called ‘The House Was Not Hungry Then’, told entirely from the haunted house’s perspective. No close-ups. No dramatic reaction shots. Just the house silently watching a woman search for her missing father. It hits video on demand February 13th. So now even the drywall is judging you.

Producer Jerry Bruckheimer says he’s working on Top Gun 3 and Pirates of the Caribbean 6. He told Screen Rant it’s basically a horse race. Right now Top Gun is barely ahead, waiting on a script. So Maverick might fly again… or Jack Sparrow might stumble back in. Hollywood is saying…. originality is overrated.
