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.

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….

Trivial Pursuit was created in the 1970's. Do you know what year?
Welcome to The List,
Diddy is allegedly gearing up for a one-billion-dollar legal smackdown against Netflix over the docuseries Sean Combs: The Reckoning. His camp says there’s unauthorized personal footage in the series. The director fired back saying the footage came to them legally, with full rights, and added that Diddy has basically filmed himself obsessively for decades. She also says they repeatedly asked his legal team for comment and heard… nothing. I’ve watched it and let’s just say, this lawsuit is gonna need popcorn. We with him all the luck.

Lainey Wilson and Devlin Hodges are reportedly planning a big, expensive wedding and sources say Lainey wants the best of the best. Here’s the twist: neither one of them is swimming in mega-millions. But Lainey loves everyone, considers everyone a friend, and apparently invited half of Nashville. Rumored guests include Dolly, Blake and Gwen, Luke Bryan, Jelly Roll, Morgan Wallen, and more. At this point, it’s less a wedding and more a CMA after-party with vows.

The lineup is out for New Year’s Eve Live: Nashville’s Big Bash and it is stacked. Lainey Wilson, Zach Top, Riley Green, Megan Moroney, and a whole parade of country hitmakers are ringing in the new year. So if you’re staying home on New Year’s Eve, congratulations Nashville already planned your soundtrack.

And finally… when Leslie Nielsen died, he went out exactly how you’d expect. A fart machine was placed in his casket and anyone walking up to the bar at his funeral could push a button and make him fart. Even in death, the man committed to the bit. That’s not just comedy… that’s legacy planning.
