The List for Wednesday, August 24th 2022

Welcome to The List,

Hollywoodlife.com says a third Top Gun movie is being discussed. Greg Davis, who played Coyote in ''Top Gun: Maverick'', tells the website, “You know, we’ve been basking in the glory of this championship. So maybe after the release on blue ray and DVD, we can discuss a Part 3.”

-----

Elite Daily says HBO is capitalizing on their new Game of Thrones spinoff “House of the Dragon’ by releasing a new line of wines inspired by new show. House of the Dragon Wines includes an Oregon Pinot Noir, a California Cabernet Sauvignon and a red blend from California. Each bottle sells for $20

-----

Luke Bryan is selling POPCORN now.  He recently grew a bunch of it on his farm in Tennessee.  Now he's doing a limited run and selling bags at BoldlyGrownGoods.com.  There are two flavors:  "Bold Butter" and "Chart Toppin' Churro".  $25,000 of the proceeds will go to the Future Farmers of America.

-----

Trace Adkins was out promoting his Fox TV series "Monarch" when someone asked about Anne Heche, who passed away earlier this month.  Trace and Anne were both in the movie "13 Minutes", and he loved working with her. "My time with Anne was way too short.  I got to work and [spend] a couple of weeks with her,  and enjoyed every minute.  The energy she brought into the room was infectious.  She brought everybody up a bit when she'd come on set."

-----

A Disney princess was arrested for disorderly conduct this past Friday outside Dayton, Ohio.  Irene Bedard, who provided the speaking voice for "Pocahontas".  Police saw her arguing with another woman, and then she, quote, "walked out into the street screaming, without any regard for traffic." Police said there was a strong odor of alcohol on Irene's breath, but she claimed she hadn't had anything to drink that day.  She was acting erratically, so they took her in.

-----

Blake Shelton’s new song ‘No Body’ is taking off and if you'd like to perform the line dance featured in the new video Blake has your back.  He posted an instructional clip on Instagram, and wrote, "Free line dancing lessons, so no excuses!"

The List for Tuesday, August 23rd 2022

Welcome to The List,

Venom Star Tom Hardy won two gold medals in a charity jiu-jitsu tournament in England.  It was in support of an organization that teaches the martial art as a form of therapy for veterans and members of the military and emergency services who experience depression and PTSD.

-----

Stadium tours can be intimidating, but not to Luke Combs.  Here's what he said when someone asked how he feels about them. Quote, "Honestly, [an] indescribable feeling . . . and hopefully I get to do it for a whole lot longer.  But yeah, there's really nothing like it."

-----

Keanu Reeves really IS John Wick.  A producer for the franchise said Keanu has done 90% of his own stunts in the first four movies. This statistic comes from a new book all about the series called "They Shouldn't Have Killed His Dog". To put Keanu's badassery into perspective, he turns 58 next week.  The first "John Wick" came out in 2014, making him like 49 or 50 when he started the series.  So yep, he's been doing all this stunt work throughout his 50s.

-----

Feathers are being ruffled, The new issue of "Rolling Stone UK" has Harry Styles on the cover, and it crowns him the, quote, "New King of Pop".  As you might expect, that isn't going over well with Michael Jackson fans. Michael's own nephew Taj Jackson Tweeted, "There is no new King of Pop.  You don’t own the title Rolling Stone, and you didn't earn it, my uncle did. Decades of dedication and sacrifice.  The title has been retired.  No disrespect to Harry Styles, he's mega talented.  Give him his own unique title."

-----

If you want to follow someone on Instagram that's always interesting, I suggest Kacey Musgraves.  She's been on tour in Japan . . . and has been sharing videos and pics on her Instagram stories. The one everyone's talking about is the clip of her eating a fried cricket.  She also posted a photo of the "deep-fried insects" section of the menu, and that features scorpions and tarantulas… ah…nope!! nope…and nope…

-----

And finally Delaware Online reports that Jimmie Allen is going to start a side hussle….he’s training for the WWE in January.

The List for Monday, August 22nd 2022

Welcome to The List,

Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez had a proper wedding at Ben's estate in Georgia on Saturday.  They didn't just throw a party to celebrate they got married all over again.  J-Lo wore a full-on wedding gown, train and all this time.  All their kids were there, along with celebrity guests including Matt Damon, Jimmy Kimmel, Kevin Smith, and Jason Mewes.

-----

Will Smith posted a video where he and his son Trey discover a tarantula in their home.  Will filmed the spider while standing on a chair, telling Trey to get rid of it because, quote, "you're young and strong, you can handle the bite." Eventually, they teamed up.  Trey put a glass bowl on top of the spider, and Will slipped a piece of paper under it… and like the manly men they are….hightailed it to a Holiday Inn…don’t really blame them….

-----

Craig Morgan received the wrong merchandise shipment for his shows last week.  He ended up with Adele's CDs,  but sold them at his booth anyway.  Craig thinks maybe the gods are saying they should do a duet.

-----

The milestones keep rolling in!

-----

Blake Shelton has new priorities in life…He tells Entertainment Tonight that Gwen Stefani, and not his career, is it. Saying ''Look, I love music and I love The Voice. I love all the cool things I get to do with my job, but those things all take a backseat now to Gwen and the kids and it’s just a new phase of my life.'' Thankfully it doesn’t include another mullet….

-----

Paramount Pictures is developing a ''Ferris Bueller's Day Off'' spin-off.  “Sam and Victor’s Day Off” is about the two valets that took Cameron's father's red Ferrari for a joy ride in Chicago.  The creators of ''Cobra Kai'' are developing this film
