The List for Friday, May 26th 2023

Welcome to The List,

Arnold Schwarzenegger's new series, FUBAR, started streaming yesterday on Netflix. The reviews were hilariously terrible ..The Daily Beast: "called it an Embarrassing Stain on His Action-Hero Legacy" The Chicago Sun-Times: Says, the premise is tired and the comedy stinks." Oh, now I HAVE to see it…sound like with reviews like this it’ll only get one season.

-----

67-year-old Hulk Hogan is trying to be relevant again!! He tells The MMA Hour podcast that he wants to wrestle 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin at WrestleMania because he feels like he's 25 again.  Admitting You'd have to be crazy to get back in there at my age anyway, and I haven't talked to him about anything like that ever.

I sit there to finish waking up. inside of me, I say, I give thanks for this feeling.  It’s a feeling of wellness, free, no schedule, no body bothering you.  NOTHING in the way…just that moment of you sitting there where you want to be.” Tina Turner TWO time inductee into the Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame…passed quietly at her home in Switzerland yesterday…Tina Turner was 83 and will be missed.

The List for Wednesday, May 24th 2023

 

Welcome to The List,

It's pretty obvious that Jamie Foxx and his family don't want to talk about his recent health issue yet.  But that's not stopping Mike Tyson In a recent podcast interview, Mike said, quote, "He's not feeling well.  They said a stroke."  He didn't say who told him that, and he doesn't sound 100% sure, because he added, "I have no idea what happened to him, If we don't know about it by now, they don't want us to know." Which kinda sounds like Mike’s brain went “oops, shouldn’t have said that”.

-----

Jordan Davis says Memorial Day hits close to home for him because both of his grandparents served, and so did a cousin. I mean I can’t say enough about ‘em. We live in the best country in the world, and it’s because of those guys and because of the people that came before ‘em”.

-----

Last night was Blake Shelton’s LAST night on The Voice, and he went out with a bang…He later posted a love letter to "The Voice" on Instagram, and said, "Can't believe it's been 23 seasons . . . it's bittersweet . . . I've made lifelong friends and memories . . . Thank you to everyone."  If you missed the season finale last night, It was a walk down memory lane with every team Blake winner from the last 23 seasons showing up to send him off…and yes, he GOT to keep his chair.

-----

Katy Perry has been getting some bad press this season for supposedly being the MEAN JUDGE on "American Idol".  And now she's considering quitting the show.  Katy has been on the show for six seasons, and she actually got BOOED earlier this year for critiquing one contestant's outfits.  She was also dragged online for slut-shaming a 25-year-old female contestant who had three kids.

-----

Dierks Bentley, whose own father was a World War II veteran, talks about the sacrifices made by U.S. servicemen and women… “I think, for me on the road, I just think about being gone two, three days at a time, maybe a couple of weeks at a time, you know. That seems like a long time when you have kids and family, but these soldiers, they’re gone for months and years at a time – they’re doing 12 to 15 to 18 months — and they have family back home. That, in itself, is such a huge sacrifice, and that’s just the beginning of it. That’s just scratching the surface of what these guys [and gals] are doing every day.”

 -----

And finally, yesterday we reported Vin Diesel has some Fast and Furious spinoffs in his head…well don’t count on Michelle Rodriguez to have any part of them. She Variety magazine that she has no plans to star in any of the upcoming Fast and the Furious female spin-offs. “You pass the baton on. You take the back seat. You go passenger side. When it [be]comes the next generation, you have to. It’s the only way to let them define the future.”

The List for Tuesday, May 23rd 2023

Welcome to The List,

Jude Law plays Henry the 8th in the new historical thriller "Firebrand" and Jude decided that in order to really inhabit the role, he should SMELL like Henry. As it turns out Henry smelled AWFUL . . . partly because of leg ulcers.  So Jude found a perfume specialist who made him a concoction that mixed the odors of blood, sweat, and fecal matter. Some actors take it kinda far….it’s called acting, can’t you just ACT like you smell bad?   Blood, Sweat and Fecal Matter I’m going to make that the name of my next punk band.

-----

Woody Allen to the rescue!!  He was having dinner in Manhattan when his friend started choking.  Woody jumped up and performed the Heimlich.  The guy says, quote, "If it wasn’t for his quick thinking, I fear I may have died.  I owe him my life."

-----

Justin Moore doesn't understand why his 13-year-old daughter never leaves her room.  Quote, "I've seen the room.  It's not that spectacular to stay in there eight hours a day." She’s a 13 year old girl….and there’s this think called Tik Tok…

-----

Old Dominion star Matthew Ramsey tells Forbes magazine that the band travels with their own 'gourmet chef'. It’s a member of their crew, she learned how to cook and started cooking big family meals.  It really brings us together more like a family than a crew.

-----

Megan Moroney tells Billboard magazine that she doesn't consider what she writes to be love songs. Saying she doesn’t write love songs, she writes sad songs for sad people. If they happen to be about people in love..that’s just a happy accident.  She wants people to feel when they hear her songs…so…she wants people to be sad?

-----

There may be Fast and the Furious spinoffs in the wings…Vin Diesel tells Variety magazine that he wants to make several Fast and the Furious spin-offs.  He’s already developed a female spinoff…he says the sooner he can deliver the concepts the sooner he can launch them…
