The List for Friday, January 26th 2024

Welcome to The List,

The trailer for Jake Gyllenhaal’s remake of “Road House” is out…it looks pretty good too.  There’s already some controversy, though.  The director, Doug Liman, is boycotting the film’s premiere at the South by Southwest Film Festival.   Why?  Because Amazon has decided to stream it, rather than put it in theaters. Make yourself some toast and check out the trailer here.  The movie hits Prime March 21st.

The NY Times says a recent study reveals that Taylor Swift is shown for a very minimal amount of time during NFL games. Swift was shown just five times for a total of 24 seconds during the recent AFC Divisional round playoff game. In previous games, she was shown for even less time, with an average of just three to five times per game.  I wonder why they felt the need to research that….

We learned a few new things about Dolly Parton this week . . . She has a Dog Fashion show coming out on CBS . . .  her husband got a kick out of that Dallas Cowboy cheerleader outfit . . . and her go-to Taco Bell order.  A Taco Supreme in a soft-shell, a Mexican pizza, and an order of rice and beans.  Dolly says, “And I get mild sauce.  I don’t like to get it too hot and ruin everything.”

The List for Monday, February 23rd 2026

Welcome to The List,

Luke Combs just welcomed baby number three, and at this point he’s not running a family… he’s running a small football team. His new son is named Chet Wiley Combs, joining big brothers Tex and Beau, which also sounds like a law firm that only handles tractor-related lawsuits. Nicole is now outnumbered four to one, which means Luke finally achieved his lifelong dream… living in a non-stop WWE event with juice boxes.

-----

Matthew McConaughey says AI actors are coming for the Oscars, which means in five years the Best Actor speech will just be a laptop saying “Thank you… processing emotions.” The upside is AI doesn’t age, doesn’t argue, and doesn’t show up late. The downside… your favorite movie star might soon be a Dell Inspiron with better abs than you.

-----

Travis Kelce and Patrick Mahomes are getting sued over their restaurant “1587 Prime” by a sneaker company called “1587 Sneakers,” which proves two things… lawyers are undefeated, and apparently numbers are now copyrighted. Somewhere right now, the number 7 is hiring security and filing paperwork just to stay out of trouble.

-----

Keith Urban and Jennifer Lopez are reportedly texting late at night, which means somewhere Nicole Kidman is casually holding Keith’s phone like, “Oh look… Jennifer sent another smiley face.” Sources say matchmakers want them together, and honestly, if this happens, country and pop fans will unite faster than free beer at a wedding.
