The List for Wednesday, January 31st 2024

Welcome to The List,

As usual, Super Bowl ads are being either teased, or fully revealed online before the game.  Which really kills the surprise on game day, but that's where we are now, and it doesn't seem like it's going to change. So, here are the latest reveals: Edie Falco did an anti-dairy ad for PETA. Kate McKinnon and Pete Davidson appear in a Hellmann's mayonnaise ad that pokes fun at Pete's dating history.  David and Victoria Beckham are pretty funny in a teaser for their Uber Eats ad.  "Jessica" Aniston is going to be in it, too.

-----

Luke Combs' new Nashville bar opens later this year, and now it's got a name.  He's partnering with Opry Entertainment Group on it.  They're calling it "Category 10", inspired by his first #1 hit, "Hurricane".  It'll be in the same space as the old Wildhorse Saloon that just closed down this month.  They're planning to open it in stages.  First this summer, and then fully open by the end of the year.

-----

Country Rebel says Jon Bon Jovi  is being honored as the 2024 MusiCares Person of the Year. The event will feature performances by Lainey Wilson, Jelly Roll, Shania Twain, and more. Proceeds from the event will support MusiCares and their efforts to provide health and human services to professionals in the music industry. The show will take place on Friday night and will be hosted by Jim Gaffigan.

-----

According to the bookies, there's only an 8% chance that Travis Kelce will propose to Taylor Swift after the Super Bowl.  But there's a 66.7% chance of Taylor being shown during the national anthem.

The List for Tuesday, January 30th 2024

Welcome to The List,

Jelly Roll sure knows how to get clicks.  We just came across an interview from a few months ago where Jelly Roll made this very bold claim, that's sure to ruffle a few feathers. Jelly said, "I've always looked at beer as men's version of wine.  It's kind of like something, you know, girls would do."  What's funny is that later in the interview, his wife Bunnie XO threw him under the bus and said he can't drink beer because it "makes his tummy hurt."

Ace Showbiz says Shannen Doherty has seen a "miracle" breakthrough in her cancer treatment. The 90210 actress, who is battling stage four breast cancer, revealed that a new cancer infusion treatment has shown promising progress. She noticed a difference after the sixth or seventh treatment and described it as a miracle.

-----

"We Are the World" is a charity single originally recorded by the supergroup USA for Africa in 1985. . Written by Michael Jackson and Lionel Richie sang by numerous pop, rock and country stars…With sales in excess of 20 million copies, it is the ninth-best-selling physical single of all time… Halfway through the making of "We Are the World", Waylon Jennings left in a huff when they suggested everyone sing a Swahili verse.  Waylon said, "No good old boy sings in Swahili."

-----

It looks like the Britney Spears book is causing some waves…The Daily Mail reports she has apologized to Justin Timberlake for the comments she made about him in her memoir.  She took to Instagram to praise Justin's new songs and expressed her love for them. 'I wanna apologize for some of the things I wrote about in my book. If I offended any of the people I genuinely care about I am deeply sorry.

The List for Friday, January 26th 2024

Welcome to The List,

The trailer for Jake Gyllenhaal’s remake of “Road House” is out…it looks pretty good too.  There's already some controversy, though.  The director, Doug Liman, is boycotting the film's premiere at the South by Southwest Film Festival.   Why?  Because Amazon has decided to stream it, rather than put it in theaters. Make yourself some toast and check out the trailer here.  The movie hits Prime March 21st.

The NY Times says a recent study reveals that Taylor Swift is shown for a very minimal amount of time during NFL games. Swift was shown just five times for a total of 24 seconds during the recent AFC Divisional round playoff game. In previous games, she was shown for even less time, with an average of just three to five times per game.  I wonder why they felt the need to research that….

-----

We learned a few new things about Dolly Parton this week . . . She has a Dog Fashion show coming out on CBS . . .  her husband got a kick out of that Dallas Cowboy cheerleader outfit . . . and her go-to Taco Bell order.  A Taco Supreme in a soft-shell, a Mexican pizza, and an order of rice and beans.  Dolly says, "And I get mild sauce.  I don't like to get it too hot and ruin everything."
