The List for Monday, February 26th 2024

Welcome to The List,

Dan +  Shay star Shay Mooney tells Billboard magazine that he and Dan will have a double seat…but only one button when they begin judging on “The Voice”.  How are they going to decide which artist to turn their chair for?  you’re miked up. You can’t really talk to each other that much. If one of us is really feeling it, we’ve given each other permission to go ahead and smash that button and turn that chair around..

Relationships are a give-and-take.  And it'll be interesting to see if Travis Kelce is cool with what Taylor Swift is taking from HIM.  According to the not-always-reliable British tabloids It includes his ability to visit ADULT CLUBS.  She also wants him to Facetime her instead of texting when they're apart, She supposedly gave him $500,000 to "step up" his wardrobe…They say Taylor isn't trying to CHANGE Travis . . . she's just helping him EVOLVE. And so it begins….

-----

Radar Online says Katy Perry was allegedly "pushed out" of her American Idol judging role due to non-stop drama behind the scenes. A source says, "Katy's saying she was painted as the harsh, evil judge on the show and that she's leaving of her own volition — but the truth is that she's much closer to that persona than she thinks, and everybody was tired of dealing with it.’’  ALSO, producers are allegedly considering replacing Luke Bryan with Jelly Roll.

-----

A new tribute album called "Petty Country: A Country Music Celebration of Tom Petty" drops on May 31st, and the lineup is amazing. It includes Willie Nelson . . . Dolly Parton . . . George Strait . . . Chris Stapleton . . . Lainey Wilson . . . Wynonna Judd . . . Luke Combs . . . Steve Earle, and more.

The List for Friday, February 23rd 2024

Welcome To The List,

Kenny Chesney tells Billboard magazine that you should always work to improve yourself. He says, “The one thing that I think that’s helped me sustain any kind of success is the idea that you either get better or you get worse. A wise man once told me, ‘You get 1% better or worse every day.’

-----

Talk show host Wendy Williams’ team issued a statement yesterday saying she has frontotemporal dementia, and also aphasia… which affects the ability to understand or express speech. These are basically the issues Bruce Willis is dealing with.

-----

Men's Journal says some entertainment and brand executives are worried about what will happen to Travis Kelce’s marketability should he break up with Taylor Swift. One CEO said If it doesn’t work out, Travis had better strategically plan what his messaging is.”..well, he’s a potential Hall of Fame Tight End for the Kansas City Chiefs!!

-----

Jelly Roll officially announced "The Beautifully Broken Tour" that's hosting 37 shows in 20 states this fall none of which are in Iowa or even Wisconsin, the closest is Chicago.  The tour opens in Salt Lake City, Utah on August 27th, and will close in Charlotte, North Carolina on October 27th.

The List for Thursday, February 22nd 2024

Welcome to The List,

An actor from the original "Top Gun" wants money for the sequel, because you can see his face in a photograph… Barry Tubb, who played Wolfman, they had no right to use his mug in "Top Gun: Maverick." By using his mug he means the photograph of the ’86 class of Top Gun used to sus out who Roosters ( Miles Tellers) father was…Goose.  The movie grossed $1.5 billion so he wants A LOT…

-----

Kane Brown tells Grammy.com that touring is different now that his children come on tour with him. "I would say the only difference is my youngest, Kodi. It's a little hard having her. Because at 7 o'clock the bus is dead quiet. No noise. I used to always bring my boys and party — hang out. Now, you make any noise, and my wife is throwing her flip-flop at you.”

Kevin Costner is building a Costner-themed restaurant in Utah. The restaurant will feature menu items like Bull Durham Burgers, Robin Hood Ravioli and Tin Cup Tostadas. Kevin is also building a movie studio in the area.

The List for Wednesday, February 21st 2024

Welcome to The List,

If you’re a Beatles fan…A biopic film series of The Beatles is in the works from "Skyfall" director Sam Mendes.  There will be four movies, one from the perspective of each member.

-----

Luke Combs' song "Where the Wild Things Are" just hit #1 on the country charts.  That makes it 18 straight number ones to start his career. Alabama still holds the record with 21 in a row from 1980 to 1987, but Luke's definitely making a run at it.

-----

A new movie version of Stephen King's "Salem's Lot" was filmed in 2021 . . . and it still hasn't been released.  And King wants to know why.  He's actually seen it, and he thinks it's "quite good."  The culprit here is Warner Brothers.  They've already shelved two major films that were completely finished . . . "Batgirl" and "Coyote vs. Acme" . . . and took tax write-offs. That could be what they're doing here.

-----

Jelly Roll wasn't able to accept the award for Male Country Artist of the Year at the People's Choice Awards because he was teaching kids how to sing at a juvenile detention center.
