Welcome to The List,

The "Friends" cast issued a joint statement after Matthew Perry's death.  But yesterday, Matt LeBlanc and Courteney Cox each posted their own tributes on Instagram.  LeBlanc posted several pictures with Matthew and said, quote, "It is with a heavy heart I say goodbye.  The times we had together are honestly among the favorite times of my life. "It was an honor to share the stage with you and to call you my friend.  I will always smile when I think of you and I'll never forget you.  Never.  Spread your wings and fly brother.  You're finally free.  "Much love.  And I guess you're keeping the 20 bucks you owe me."

Could Jay DeMarcus and Joe Don Rooney from Rascal Flatts be working on music WITHOUT singer Gary LeVox?  They both posed for a selfie after hanging out in a recording studio. Rascal Flatts fans are still hoping that the trio will be able to reunite for their planned final tour, that they never got and that's not entirely off the table — at least, not for DeMarcus.

Cody Johnson is all tatted up.  Including one tattoo that's in a very weird spot:  The bottom of his FOOT.  Someone asked him if he has more tattoos than Jelly Roll.  He said he's not sure, because he's never seen Jelly with his shirt off.  Then he started listing all the places HE has them . . . including one on the ARCH of his foot. So, what's the tattoo, and WHY?  He answered the why question first:  Alcohol.  The tattoo itself has a story.  It was inspired by his favorite Waylon Jennings song, "I've Always Been Crazy".  Specifically, the lyric, "I've always been different, with one foot over the line." The tattoo is the number "1" . . . then an apostrophe for the word "foot" . . . and it's underlined.  So, "1 foot" over a line.

You've probably noticed in recent years that "A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving" hasn't aired on ABC.  Well, it's because Apple acquired the rights to the "Peanuts" catalog back in 2020. But to show some holiday spirit and in recognition of the special's 50th anniversary, Apple TV+ will allow non-subscribers to watch it for FREE this Saturday and Sunday, the 18th and 19th.

-----

And finally, NBC's annual "Christmas in Rockefeller Center" special air live November 29th.

Welcome to The List,

Apparently, someone wants Morgan Wallen to change his style!!  While performing in Atlanta over the weekend, singing “Wasted On You” someone thought it would be a good idea to throw a cowboy hat on stage.  It landed in his lap and he brushed it off without missing a beat. (Here's video.  He did a similar thing earlier this year when someone threw a cowboy boot at him.)

-----

So, what’s the latest on the “Seinfeld” reunion?  According to Jason Alexander…HE has no idea!!  He says no ones called him so apparently, they don’t need George or Elaine because no ones called Julia Louis-Dreyfus or Michael Richards.  So, it looks like either Jason is trying to keep a secret . . . Jerry is prematurely teasing something . . . OR the rest of the cast really isn't needed.

-----

Newsflash!! Jelly Roll like Morgan Wallen is Cutting His Mullet ... He got rid of his mullet and he misses it so much and thinks about it all the time.  “The right side it almost straightened out, I had natural curls it was awesome.“  He says it was almost straightened out because he was pulling on his curls like a girl.

He adds that he hasn’t been able to do it in a while but that’s right on the top of his list and one of his favorite things to do.
