Welcome to The List,

Were you a fan of “Blossom” back in the 90’s would you be interested in a reboot? As let’s say a drama and not a sitcom?  Mayim Bialik says it could happen. She wants to bring back all of the cast and the original creator and producers as well. We want to bring back these interesting, deep characters . . . a child of divorce, a recovering drug addict, an alcoholic . . . to see them in a whole new way."

“The Voice” is BACK and Reba says she can’t wait to see what happens! “Sometimes it’s spontaneous, sometimes it’s immediate and sometimes you get to tape things and look at it and redu, But, when it’s live…I do love it. So when we get to the live rounds and things like that, I really do love it.”  “The Voice” airs Mondays and Tuesdays on NBC…

The editor of ‘Saw X’ had the police called on him after neighbors thought he was torturing someone. The editor was working on a scene with loud screams at his North Hollywood office when the cops arrived. A source tells NME magazine, "The police came to his door, and he explained he was working on a movie. The cops started laughing!"  The movie finished second at the weekend box office with $18 million.

-----

Travis Kelce was seen leaving Taylor Swift's apartment yesterday morning.  Then SHE showed up to watch the Chiefs play the Jets.  She brought Sophie Turner, Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds, and Hugh Jackman.  It was a really good game in between the announcers fawning over Taylor for a lot of it…The Chiefs Beat the Jets 23 – 20.

-----

There was a rumor going around that Kelsea Ballerini lip synced while performing at the "People's Choice Country Awards".  Well, it's not true. She posted a video of herself joking about it AND explaining what happened.  NBC had her back too.  They posted a clip of her performing the song on the show . . . and they captioned it, "Flawless glitch-free performance.  Nobody does live vocals like her."

-----

And lastly, the new “Barney” movie has the “green light” and producers promise that it will not be an “odd movie” it’s a movie about a purple dinosaur…nothing odd about this at all…

Welcome to The List,

Well, today's the day that Netflix sends out its final DVDs.  Don't feel bad if you didn't even know Netflix still mailed out DVDs.  Fewer than a million subscribers held on this long. Those of you who refused to quit your plans get an extra bonus:  You get to KEEP whatever comes your way.  Some subscribers have been chosen to receive 10 discs as a parting gift. At its peak, the DVD service had 20 million subscribers, and a library of more than 100,000 titles. Netflix shipped its first DVD in 1998.  It was "Beetlejuice".

Dylan Scott tells People magazine that working with a jackhammer was the hardest thing he's ever done. “You would think ... let the thing do the work. But all the tendons in your hands and the muscles in your hands. He did it for two days, he can still feel it. That was the hardest two days of his life.”

-----

The producers of the new "Exorcist" movie had to change their release date to avoid going up against Taylor Swift's concert movie.  But they briefly considered going head-to-head, and trying to create another "Barbenheimer" . . . although this one would have been called "ExorSwift". And Cops did a welfare check on Britney Spears, after her video where she's dancing with knives.  Police talked to her security, who said she was okay, then left…yeah…Britney Spears is just….fine…no worries there….

-----

The inaugural "People's Choice Country Awards" went down last night in Nashville . . . and if you were busy watching football, "The Golden Bachelor", or "Lego Masters", I understand.  You didn't miss much.  If they're going to give us a fourth awards show in one calendar year, at least make it unique.  There was nothing fresh or new.  Morgan Wallen won the big award, People's Artist of 2023, and he wasn't there.   Neither was Jelly Roll after winning Male Artist.  Also not there? Carrie Underwood, Miranda Lambert, Jason Aldean, and Keith Urban . . . to name a few.

-----

Michael Gambon . . . who played Professor Dumbledore in the final six "Harry Potter" movies . . . died after a bout of pneumonia.  He was 82.  Daniel Radcliffe called him, quote, "one of the most brilliant, effortless actors I've ever had the privilege of working with."

-----

And lastly, you never have to worry about Luke Combs not getting enough exercise….He tells Music Mayhem Magazine that he burns a massive amount of calories during his concerts. "I wear a WHOOP band fitness tracker while on stage and burn around 2,600 calories per show and my band averages anywhere from four to five or six miles."

Welcome to The List,

Whether you like it or not, Taylor Swift is expected to be in the house when Travis Kelce and the Kansas City Chiefs take on the New York Jets at MetLife Stadium this Sunday. That's local for Taylor, because she owns a place in New York City.

-----

Madame Tussauds in Nashville will be unveiling their new wax figure of Kacey Musgraves tomorrow.  There's a video of Kacey seeing it for the first time, and it's pretty cool to witness her reaction. Not only did she approve, she says they nailed it.  And she explained HOW they nailed it.  It took twenty London-based artists about six months to create the figure.

-----

Now that the writers’ strike is over, Jimmy Fallon, Jimmy Kimmel, Seth Meyers, and Stephen Colbert are all returning to late night on Monday.  HBO's "Real Time with Bill Maher" returns Friday, and "Last Week Tonight with John Oliver" returns Sunday.

-----

The Daily Mail says Sharon Osbourne recently had another facelift after a previous one made her look like "Quasimodo." She needed more surgery to fix her face. Osbourne says, "This last one was a kind of fix-it job from the guy that did it before. I looked like Quasimodo, because I had one eye here, one eye there. It was wicked.’’

-----

Kelsea Ballerini did one of her photo dumps that featured pics of her at a waterfall, buying pumpkins, grabbing a bite outside somewhere . . . and onstage doing karaoke with Karen Fairchild. They sang the Little Big Town classic "Girl Crush", and Kelsea called it "a new core memory." Click HERE for pics.

-----

Kevin Bacon wanted to be taken as a serious actor in the '80s, so he rejected the fame that came with being in "Footloose".  He tells Penn Badgley on the podcast “Podcrushed” He was “Horrified” – “The last thing I wanted to be was a popstar. I was very very uncomfortable with photoshoots and magazines and all of these things that I had dreamed of as a kid.” He wanted to work with Scorsese..he wanted to BE Di Niro… Everything that he dreamed of as a kid gave himself doubt and anxiety. Somehow I feel closer to Kevin Bacon now...at least by 6 degrees...

And finally, Here's your reminder that tonight's "People's Choice Country Awards" starts at 8:00 p.m. Eastern on NBC.

Welcome to The List,

"Rolling Stone" put together a list of the 50 Worst Decisions in Movie History.  Will Smith made it on the list twice . . . for slapping Chris Rock AND for turning down "The Matrix" to make "Wild Wild West". Burt Reynolds turns down James Bond, "The Godfather", "Star Wars", "Pretty Woman", and "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest".  Now that’s an EPIC run of bad decisions. Their top spot went to the 1956 movie "The Conqueror".  Not only did it star noted white guy John Wayne as the Asian warlord Genghis Khan. . . they also filmed it at nuclear testing sites in Utah.

Football traditions can be deadly.  And not just for Buffalo Bills fans. There's a family of Miami Dolphins fans who take a shot of tequila every time their team scores a touchdown. Well, on Sunday, the Dolphins crushed the Denver Broncos 70 to 20.  For those of you who need help with the math, 70 points is 10 touchdowns.  Meaning everyone in the family had to take 10 TEQUILA SHOTS in about three and a half hours. One of them Tweeted that it might be time to rethink the tradition.

-----

If you haven't seen Jelly Roll Grand Marshalling NASCAR's playoff race on Sunday, check it out. It was at Texas Motor Speedway in Fort Worth.  People don't always get fully into it when they say "drivers, start your engines."  But he WENT for it.  He screamed so hard, you could actually see him shaking at one point. NASCAR posted the video on X, formerly known as Twitter, and said, "The energy has been brought." Jelly retweeted it and joked that he "understood the assignment."  (Here's the video.)

-----

Garth Brooks and Trisha Yearwood will host President Jimmy Carter's Habitat for Humanity project next week.  It takes place October 1st through the 6th in Charlotte, North Carolina. This will be the first event the Carters won't be able to attend because of health reasons.

-----

Luke Combs has had his share of crossover hits.  In fact, his cover of "Fast Car" peaked higher on the Billboard Top 200 than Tracy Chapman's original.  But don't worry about Luke switching over to pop.  He's not interested. He said,  quote, "Country music is enough.  I don't want to be a pop star.  I love our genre and I love writing country songs with my songwriting buddies and singing them with the guys that I like to make records with."

-----

And lastly, The Taylor Swift / Travis Kelce relationship already has MERCH a lot of it on Esty…mostly in the form of different shirts going for between $10 to $38, plus some luggage with a $206 price tag.
