The List for Wednesday, April 17th 2024

Welcome to The List,

Pamela Anderson has joined the cast of the "Naked Gun" remake. Liam Neeson is taking over the role of Lieutenant Frank Drebin, who was played by Leslie Nielsen in the three original movies.   Pam will be playing the love interest . . . who was played by Priscilla Presley back in the day.  The new "Naked Gun" is scheduled to hit theaters in July of 2025.

-----

Tom Cruise has allegedly been deemed "undateable" due to his strict requirements for romantic partners. A source says, “He has a list of conditions for his romantic partners. One of them is that they can’t have chatty friends or relatives who might go to the media. They have to be open to joining his faith, marriage is a must, and, apparently, there’s a height issue, so his partner’s heels can’t be too high! His demands may have become a hurdle for him in finding a suitable match, commenting, “At this point, he could be undateable.”

-----

Caitlin Clark is one of the most famous athletes in the world right now, male OR female.  And she just got picked #1 overall in the WNBA draft by the Indiana Fever.  So she's on her way, right? Well, financially speaking, not so much.  As a WNBA rookie, her salary will be pretty pitiful.  Over the next four years, she'll make $338,056.  which is significantly less than three of the NBA MASCOTS make which is around $600,000...These mascots also make more than ANYONE in the WNBA…OOF

-----

As far as rules in marriage goes Sam Hunt has one very important rule and it's that he never has to sleep on the couch.  He said, quote, "She's gonna have to shoot me before I don't sleep in my own bed."

The List for Tuesday, April 16th 2024

Welcome to The List,

What would you pay for a 1993 Ford Bronco?  I think you know where I'm going with this . . .We're talking about O.J. Simpson's infamous white Bronco.  It's currently on loan to the Alcatraz East Crime Museum in Tennessee, but its owners are thinking about selling, and they're hoping to get at least $1.5 MILLION for it.  They claim the plan was always to sell this year, because it's the 30th anniversary of the chase.  O.J.'s death was just a coincidence.  And possibly a lucrative one.

-----

Jelly Roll is down almost 70 pounds.  And on top of that, he just said he is quote, "planning on losing another 100-something pounds."  It's going to be crazy when he debuts his new skinnier self. Back in January, he was challenged to compete in a race called the "Two Bears 5K" that takes place in May with comedians Bert Kreischer and Tom Segura.  And he’s taking the challenge seriously. Saying "I don't know if 'running' is going to be the word, but I'm definitely going to get the 3.1 miles done . . . probably a brisk power walk.  My goal is to be able to do a 15-minute mile."

-----

Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, the armorer on the set of the Alec Baldwin movie "Rust", has been sentenced to 18 months in prison for involuntary manslaughter.  That's the maximum she could have received. It's still not clear how live rounds ended up on the "Rust" set. . Alec Baldwin's involuntary manslaughter trial is scheduled to begin in July.  He could also get 18 months.

-----

Jimmy Buffett was honored last week with a tribute show at the Hollywood Bowl.  Eric Church led a star-studded performance of "Margaritaville", that included Sheryl Crow, Paul McCartney, and the Eagles.

The List for Friday, April 12th 2024

Welcome to The List,

Morgan Wallen plans to open his own bar in Nashville after his recent arrest for throwing a chair off a rooftop. Wallen is serious about the venture and is naming his six-story bar "This Bar". PR experts believe his arrest will only enhance the bar's popularity due to Wallen's rowdy image…of course it won’t have any chairs…

-----

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles…THERE’S a name we haven’t heard in a while…Well, there's a new, animated "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" movie in the works, but this one will be R-rated. It's called "The Last Ronin", and it's based on a story that ran in the comics recently. It's pretty dark:  In a totalitarian future, Master Splinter and the Turtles are being killed off one-by-one by the grandson of Shredder and his gang of synthetic ninjas. Only one Turtle survives, and vows bloody revenge, using the weapons of all four Turtles.

-----

Life & Style Weekly claims  Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton are allegedly struggling to find a surrogate to expand their family.  A source says, "Gwen and Blake have been wanting a baby of their own for years now. They’ve had surrogates on board, but something always seems to fall through at the last minute. It’s been a struggle.

-----

A new "Scary Movie" is in the works.  And yes . . . you guessed it . . . it's a reboot.  Paramount says it'll film in the fall and hit theaters sometime next year. It's been 11 years since "Scary Movie 5", so there's plenty of NEW material to parody, like anything from "The Conjuring" universe, "M3GAN""Hereditary", or "Terrifier".  (The list could go on . . .) No word if any of the original cast will return.

The List for Thursday, April 11th 2024

Welcome to The List,

A video from 2019 showed Morgan Wallen challenging a guy in a bar to a headbutting contest . . . tourists are going to Chief's looking for the infamous chair . . . and a legal expert doesn't see Morgan doing a long sentence, but also doesn't think they'll let him get away scot-free either.

-----

Kevin Costner says he would be willing to return to "Yellowstone" to give his character a proper sendoff.  Quote, "Maybe this will circle back to me.  If it does and I feel really comfortable with [it], I'd love to do it."  The second half of season 5 is set to premier this November.

-----

Jelly Roll had a chance to meet Diddy backstage on "Kimmel" but he declined.  He said, "I don't even know if that's a picture I want."  Jelly's intuition was right because this happened before all of the Diddy allegations
