The List for Wednesday, March 8th 2023

Welcome to The List,

Here’s someone we haven’t heard from in a while…Gene Hackman!!  He hasn’t worked in almost 20 years, and he’s rarely seen in public.  But he’s still the BA he’s always been. Someone snapped pictures of Gene . . . who’s 93 years old . . . doing yard work at his ranch in Santa Fe, New Mexico.  But first, he went on a Wendy’s run and chowed down on a chicken sandwich and a Coke.

CMT’s “Hot 20 Countdown” asked a bunch of country stars to name the weirdest thing fans have thrown at them on stage.  Thomas Rhett said a packet of breast milk . . . Jelly Roll said men’s tighty-whities . . . and Hardy said a prosthetic leg, then he drank a BEER out of it.

Two big NFL rumors are going around.  Supposedly, Aaron Rodgers is interested in playing for the New York Jets, and Tom Brady is considering another unretirement to join the Miami Dolphins . . . which he’s already denied.

The CMA Fest is celebrating its 50th year this June, and they’re going big. The initial lineup has been announced, and it’s pretty much everyone you could think of. They include Tim McGraw, Luke Bryan, Miranda Lambert, Keith Urban, Jason Aldean, Jimmie Allen, Dierks Bentley, Eric Church, Luke Combs, Dan + Shay, and Lainey Wilson.

How fired up can one get after a screening of a movie…well, “Creed III” is the number one movie at the box office right now…The Daily Mail says a couple ladies took it to another level…after a screening in France….They started boxing each other!!!  Some theatergoers crowded around them while others ran for the exit. No word on what sparked the brawl. The fight was quickly broken up.

Ireland Baldwin’s baby shower went down over the weekend . . . at a strip club.  Ireland’s 69-year-old mother Kim Basinger was there…if you’re wondering no cinematographers were harmed….

The List for Thursday, February 12th 2026

Welcome to The List,

We are saddened to report that James Van Der Beek has passed away at the age of 48 after battling stage 3 colorectal cancer. His family confirmed the news on social media, sharing that he had been fighting the disease since August 2023. Van Der Beek became a household name as Dawson Leery on Dawson's Creek, a show that defined a generation of television. He leaves behind his wife and six children. Our thoughts are with his family, friends, and fans.

Players on the winning Super Bowl team get $178,000 from the NFL. But Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold could reportedly lose money because of California’s “jock tax.” Out-of-state players get taxed based on duty days spent in the state. With his massive contract and bonuses, estimates say he could owe between $200,000 and $250,000. Win the ring, lose to taxes. Classic.

-----

Luke Combs just revealed the full 22-song tracklist for his new album The Way I Am. It includes a duet with Alison Krauss. And a song written by Cody Johnson. Twenty-two songs is not an album. That is a weekend.

-----

Kelly Clarkson is reportedly ending her talk show and says she has no regrets. Sources say it is about quality of life, not money. She is excited, but sad to leave staff she considers family. Sometimes success is not about doing more. It is about breathing again.
