The List for Tuesday, January 3rd 2023

Welcome to The List,

Happy New Year…I guess, 20-23 is making it’s presents known….Last night’s “Monday Night Football” game between the Buffalo Bills and the Cincinnati Bengals was postponed, after Bills safety Damar Hamlin collapsed on the field in the first quarter. Hamlin had just tackled receiver Tee Higgins.  He hopped back to his feet, then fell straight backwards.  CPR was administered for several minutes, before Hamlin was taken by ambulance to the University of Cincinnati Medical Center. As of now Hamlin who is 24 years old reportedly had a cardiac event and  is in critical condition.

The Daily Mail says Jeremy Renner is in critical, but stable condition following a snow plowing accident.  Jeremy was airlifted to a hospital on Sunday after First Responders were called to his mansion in the Sierra Nevada mountains. He was reportedly injured while using one of his industrial snow plows. Hollywoodlife.com says the snow plow ran over one of Jeremy’s legs. TMZ says one of Jeremy’s neighbors, who’s a doctor, placed a tourniquet on his leg in order to stop the massive bleeding. That’s when Medics arrived and airlifted Jeremy to the hospital. CNN says Jeremy has undergone two extensive surgeries to save his leg.  He has returned from surgery and remains in the intensive care unit in critical but stable condition.”

Jelly Roll tells Music Mayhem magazine that he plans to lose weight in 2023. “I’m going to spend the first couple months of the year just focusing on family and health. I lost some weight this year in 2022, but in 2023, I wanna finally conquer the demon. Jelly doesn’t have a big tour until about the middle of the year so,  he says he has a friend that owns a gym and we’re gonna start getting after it at the top of the year.

The National Enquirer claims Tom Cruise was allegedly upset after being snubbed by the Golden Globe Awards for a Best Actor nomination for ”Top Gun: Maverick.” A source tells the magazine, “Tom expected to walk away with the award for best actor, so you can imagine his reaction when he wasn’t even on the list – he totally blew a fuse! This was the first time in years that Tom was so sure he had a slam-dunk win he was fine-tuning his acceptance speech.”

For the second year in a row…Jason Aldean and wife Brittany rang in the  New Year at Mar-a-Lago.  Brittany shared some photos on Instagram. There’s a shot of them posing with Donald and Melania Trump, and a great pic of the former president kissing Brittany’s forehead.  The caption reads, “A fairytale ending to 2022.”

And finally, the best movies and TV shows of 2022 is out.  The most popular movie was “Top Gun: Maverick”.  The most popular show was a tie between “Wednesday”, and the fourth seasons of “Ozark” and “Stranger Things”.

The List for Wednesday, April 1st 2026

Welcome to The List,

Meghan Markle allegedly thought she could jump the royal line. A new book claims she believed she should be queen next. Said she was smarter, better, and worked harder than Kate. That’s not confidence, that’s skipping the entire family tree.

-----

Two Blackhawk helicopters hovering over Kid Rock’s house raised eyebrows fast. Army pilots got suspended while the investigation played out. Then the Defense Secretary stepped in and shut it down. Suspensions lifted, no punishment, case closed just like that.

-----

Keith Urban might be ready to say a little more. A report claims he felt iced out of Nicole Kidman’s interview. She talked family and life but didn’t mention him once. Now there’s talk he could finally tell his side. Nothing says romance like a possible press tour response.

-----

And if you saw Jason Aldean storm off Colbert… relax. That viral story is completely made up from top to bottom. Wrong show name, bad details, zero credible sources behind it. The internet really said “let’s just create chaos today.” Moral of the story, not everything trending is actually true…I know…surprise right??
