The List for Friday, December 8th 2023

Welcome to The List,

A Christmas TRAGEDY almost occurred in Buffalo, New York on Wednesday night.  Chevy Chase attended a screening of “Christmas Vacation”. . . and when he came out to greet the crowd, he fell off the stage.  Chevy was actually wheeled onstage in a wheelchair, but then he got up and walked toward the edge of the stage.  That’s when he went down. He’s okay though.

Chris Janson tells Whiskey Riff that during a recent Oklahoma City concert, he accidentally threw his harmonica into the crowd. He asked a fan, “Oh, are you okay?” Fortunately, the fan wasn’t hurt…there is a difference between “tossing” and “fast pitching” Chris…for next time….

GQ Magazine says Ben Affleck recently wore a custom pair of Dunkin’ Donuts Nike sneakers in Los Angeles. These unique sneakers were commissioned by Dunkin’ Donuts to celebrate the release of a movie Affleck worked on.  I bet when he takes them off it’s the sweet aroma of freshly baked donuts….

This is what you call a missed marketing opportunity: There’s a new movie coming out called “No Way Up”.  It’s about a plane that crashes in the Pacific Ocean and ends up submerged, but in an air pocket.  The survivors have limited time to escape, but there’s something standing in their way:  A SHARK has made its way onto the plane!!! And the question I have for everyone who had even a limited part in making this movie happen is: Why on Earth is this movie not called “Sharks on a Plane” ???

Morgan Wallen has to wear disguises in public these days.  Sometimes after going hunting, he’ll leave ON his cap, camo top, and face paint . . . so he can “sneak around, and maybe even visit a Mexican restaurant.”

—–

Mariah Carey sent flowers and a note to Brenda Lee after her Christmas song “Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree” reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

The List for Thursday, June 5th 2025

Welcome to The List,

The guitar Michael J. Fox absolutely obliterates at the Enchantment Under the Sea dance? In Back to the Future? Yeah, it’s been missing since 1985—poof, gone, like Biff’s dignity. It’s a cherry red Gibson ES-345 and Gibson’s basically playing musical “Wanted” posters to get it back. Even Marty himself is pleading for its return in a video. Bonus fact: the guitar’s from the '60s, even though the scene was set in '55. So not only is it missing—it’s a time-traveling anachronism. Perfect...

-----

Jason Aldean just torched the whole encore charade. He said, “I’m not gonna leave the stage, make you beg, then stroll back out like it’s a surprise.” No, sir—he plays it all, drops the mic, and that’s it. Respect. None of this “Oh gee, did you really want to hear ‘Dirt Road Anthem?’” Dude, we know it's coming. This ain’t a magic show. It’s country music, not Criss Angel.

------

Allegedly, Blake Lively just got booted from Taylor Swift’s inner circle, and she’s forming her own squad—less pop stars, more...whoever’s available. Sources say Taylor’s over the drama, and Blake’s out here auditioning new friends like it’s The Real Housewives of Manhattan. No tears, just a chilled glass of “watch me glow up without you.” The pettiness? Vintage. The revenge arc? Chef’s kiss.

----

Headed to CMA Fest? Buckle up, honky-tonk hero. First, it's a clear bag only situation—so unless your purse is see-through like your ex’s promises, leave it at home. Ditch the cowboy boots too unless you’re into blisters and bad decisions. Oh, and plot twist—you don’t have to pay to see music. There’s free music all over the place. It’s like Coachella, but with more denim and less judgment.

The List for Wednesday, June 4th 2025

Welcome to The List,

Things just keep going so well for Meghan Markle, She tried to book Dolly Parton for her Netflix show With Love, Meghan... and Dolly’s team basically said, “Bless your heart, but no thanks.” Apparently, they didn’t want to “risk Dolly’s reputation” by being associated with Meghan. Basically: we're not trading rhinestones for royal drama, sweetie.

-----

Lainey Wilson owns well over a thousand pairs of bell-bottoms. A new pair for every show—for the past 15 years. Meanwhile, Luke Combs is out here reppin' the Columbia fishing shirt like it’s couture. One of them’s living in a fashion show, the other’s living in a Bass Pro Shop catalog. It’s all about balance…

-----

Tim McGraw and Faith Hill’s youngest daughter Audrey is stepping into the music biz, and the parents are all in their feelings. Word is, she looks and sounds exactly like Faith. So basically, they’ve created a clone with vocal cords—and now they’re just trying not to cry through every rehearsal. Adorable and mildly terrifying.

-----

Mike Flanagan is remaking Carrie AGAIN—this time as an 8-part Prime Video series. Yes, again. Carrie’s had more reboots than Batman at this point. Summer H. Howell is our new blood-soaked prom queen, and production starts this summer. No release date yet, but don't worry... she’ll be back. She always comes back.
