John will always have his kids' love and Kelly's memory. But he's beginning to want a partner to share the rest of his life with."

Reba McEntire says her most embarrassing moment on stage was in the early '80s during a headlining show.  She tripped over a monitor and crawled off stage with ripped "britches".  She returned to the stage for "Sweet Dreams" acapella and kept her hand over the rip and said no one noticed.

-----

We all have regrets in our life at some point…Jelly Roll says he regrets 93% of his tattoos ... It's one of the few things in life he regrets besides his criminal record. He got some of them when he was 14…Jelly was also at a Nashville Predators hockey game where he helped a couple get engaged on the Jumbotron.

The List for Wednesday, January 3rd 2024

Welcome to The List,

90210 and Sharknado star Ian Ziering was attacked by a group of mini-bike riders in traffic in L.A. on Sunday, with his daughter in the car.  He says, quote, "I urge city officials and law enforcement to take decisive action against such lawlessness and provide the necessary resources to prevent future occurrences."

-----

CBS might be guilty of a little false advertising.  Because when Blake Shelton and Trace Adkins performed on the "New Year's Eve Live: Nashville's Big Bash" special . . . they weren't live. When Blake's segment aired, he was literally just MINUTES from taking the stage for his own New Year's gig at the WinStar World Casino in Thackerville, Oklahoma. Morgan Wallen's performance was also pre-recorded. should CBS have advertised it as "live" when two of the biggest performances were not?  What do YOU think about that….

-----

Snoop Dogg will assist NBC in covering this summer's Olympics in Paris, as part of their primetime coverage. Snoop will explore city landmarks, attend competitions and events, and visit with the athletes and their friends and families. The Summer Olympics start July 26th.  You can catch them on NBC and Peacock.

-----

John Michael Montgomery is kicking off his farewell tour this month, which will extend through 2025.  He's not retiring from music though, just tours.  Quote, "I've been fortunate and blessed to be able to do what I love for so many years.  Please join me as I say goodbye to the road life."

The List for Tuesday, January 2nd 2024

Welcome to The List,

With two wildly successful projects already under his belt for 2023, Zac Bryan took to X to share that a new album is in fact on the horizon! The Okie, who loves to chat with fans on the platform, responded to one fan with some BIG NEWS! “It’s about half done, so depending on the writing side who knows, God willing as soon as possible.” Zach also took to Instagram to share snippets of not one, but two new tracks. The first, he teased a while ago, called Great American Bar Scene, and confirmed it was his favorite off the upcoming project. The second, also features fellow Okie John Moreland and is titled Memphis, The Blues.  While little else is known about the project, you better set your social media alerts because you never know when Zac Bryan may strike.

Zac Brown and his new wife, Kelly Yazdi, are calling it quits after just four months of marriage.

Brown and Yazdi have always kept their relationship out of the public eye, and it's unclear how the two initially met. Many began to wonder what the status of their relationship was when Yazdi was spotted in a few photos and videos with a ring on her left finger. Eventually, she added Brown's name to her social media handle.

The couple, who wed in a secret ceremony in August, is now very public about   D-I-V-O-R-C-E They’ve released a joint statement confirming their divorce. And She’s removed his last name from her socials so….it’s official….

-----

And finally sad news on this new year, one of the founding members of the Dixie Chicks Laura Lynch was killed in a car accident you may have already heard involving a truck on Highway 62 near El Paso Texas. Now, criminal charges could be coming for the driver who was driving the truck involved in the crash. Authorities confirmed the driver had their blood drawn at the hospital,  but will wait to release the results until the subpoena. If these tests prove drugs or alcohol were involved, charges are likely to be filed. If the severe charges don't apply, the driver could still face charges for reckless driving and unsafe lane changes due to witness statements. The investigation is still ongoing, though. She is survived by her husband Mac Tull and their daughter. She was 65.
