The List for Tuesday, August 6th 2024

Welcome to The List,

Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are no longer speaking. This is slowing down their divorce process. The couple have a prenup so the only asset they have to divide is their Beverly Hills mansion. The couple is having their business managers rather than divorce lawyers hammer out their split.

-----

Luke Bryan says Carrie Underwood is probably going to need extra therapy to deal with him and Lionel Richie on "American Idol".  He even joked that he should get her a therapy GIFT CARD...

-----

The Hangover 4 is in the works…kinda, they gotta get past the $20 Million payday that Bradley Cooper is asking for.  The big problem here is that all three leads, Bradley, Ed Helms and Zach Galifianakis each made $15 million-plus for the third movie in the series, and that was 10 years ago. Suddenly this becomes a very expensive proposition, especially for an R-rated comedy in 2025.’’

-----

The country music website "The Boot" asked a bunch of Country stars, "What's the best concert you've ever been to?"  Cody Johnson said, "People are gonna laugh . . . but I watched Nickelback live one time in Houston, and it was incredible."
