Welcome to The List,

Comedian Kevin Hart is going on tour and his demands are very specific in his contract rider.  It was posted online yesterday, and it covers 46 pages of specific things he needs and wants.  Some of those things include. Listerine mouth wash, floss sticks, a 25-ounce container of Vaseline lip therapy in the “Original flavor,” four “Man scented candles” for the star’s dressing room and bathroom. and a very specific stool for on stage. The stool is SO specific they give the Amazon link where it can be purchased and add  quote, "substitutions will not be accepted."…What is a ‘man scented” candle?  I bet it smells like what The Rock is cookin...

Blake Shelton would like "The Voice" to GIVE him the chair he's been sitting in all these years . . . as a retirement present.  And if they're not open to the idea, he's willing to buy it.  He wants to put it in the house he build with the money he got from the show.  How much do you think something like that would cost?

Everyone wants to be a superhero now…Golden State Warriors guard Steph Curry thinks he should be cast in the next ‘Black Panther” movie.  He even tells them that he wants them to shoot in the Summer. And Richard Gere tells Comic Book Movie magazine that he’s open to playing a superhero. Saying if there’s something quirky and unexpected and it doesn’t just end up with a big fight at the end of the movie – which they all do – it might be of interest to me, sure!”

Do you watch TV before bed?  The numbers are out and they show most of us watch Family Guy, American Dad and Bob’s Burgers before shut eye.  Others making that list include Basketball, Modern Family and Baseball which seem to ME to be the ones that would put you to sleep the fastest.

Carly Pearce loves to run, but back during quarantine, she got a lot of walking in because of a very unlikely walking companion. Her cat Emmylou. “I found her in quarantine when I was staying with my parents in Alabama, she likes to be walked. And about 3 o’clock every day she would literally like, look at the door, like, ‘Are you gonna walk me?’ And she’s huge. She’s so fat. Her fat hangs to the ground. And I would take her and put her on a leash, and she would just walk down the road, and wanted to walk.”  Carly has been spending most of her time in Nashville lately, working on her next album and rehearsing to hit the road with Blake Shelton on his Back to the Honky Tonk Tour, which kicks off February 16^th.

Welcome to The List,

Thomas Rhett has a foot in two different worlds.  He's a country star dealing with all the pressures around that.  And he's a father of four girls ages seven to one.  Yes, he loves it . . . when he's able to come up for air.  “It's one thing to be responsible for your own schedule and well-being, but it's a whole other thing when you're in charge of four other humans.  Quote, "It's your fault if your kids are late, if their lunch isn't packed correctly, if their homework isn't finished.  We're trying to keep up with that and extra-curricular activities . . . gymnastics, dance, and all these things.  It's a blast though, I'm lovin' it."

Pop Culture magazine says Prince Harry slams Elvis Presley and Graceland in his new memoir "Spare". He writes, "People variously called the house a castle, a mansion, a palace.  I stood in one tiny room with loud furniture and shag carpet and thought, 'The King's interior designer must have been on acid.'"

Some ladies my view Brett Young as the perfect husband because he tells Music Mayhem magazine that he does what he's told when he's at home. "That's her house man. She's the leader of the household. When I'm home, her word is law. I just say "Yes ma'am" and do what I'm told."

Blake Shelton Admits that he is just a "goofy" step-father. “I don’t think they’ve ever seen me be serious. Maybe a handful of times. I want to be a positive influence, but I also want to be a lot of fun.  That’s the kind of parent I want to be.”Even though he says he’s pretty goofy.. They have a mom and a dad and now they have a Blake and I want that to be fun for them.

Justin Moore recently shared how a couple of his daughters are doing in school, but we also wondered how his son South, who is his youngest, is doing. But he seems to be doing good. He’s writin’ his name, and he seems to be enjoying school, which I was concerned about, cause he’s used to hangin’ out with me all day every day when I’m home. But he’s done really good. I think it was harder on me initially than it was him, quite frankly.”  His son just turned 5 years old before going into kindergarten.

Here's something every young country artist should know.  Shania Twain would like to be their "auntie".  "In Style" asked if she's okay with sharing all the stuff she's learned in the business. She said, quote, " I enjoy it.  I'm a nurturing person and I like to share my experiences.”  When she was just starting out, she would have liked to just sit and chat with Dolly and ask questions.

We’ve learned more information today regarding Alec Baldwin and his charge of   involuntary manslaughter in the shooting death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the set of the movie "Rust". The Santa Fe district attorney is also charging the movie's armorer, Hannah Gutierrez-Reed.  They're facing two counts EACH of manslaughter. As for why each face two counts is because one of them includes a "firearm enhancement." Which basically means did they know the weapon could “go off” at the time of the incident.  The version with the enhancement comes with a mandatory five-year prison sentence. Otherwise, it's a much more lenient 18 months in jail and a $5,000 fine.  A preliminary hearing is about two months away.

Parker McCollum Says when he sits down to write he loves writing music with Thomas Rhett “He definitely is one of my favorite people to write with. He loves to hunt, he loves to fish, and he loves really good country songs. And so, any time we get into a room together, even from the first time we ever hung out and tried to write, we had a lot in common.  Every time we’ve written, I’ve walked away really digging whatever came out of that session.”

And finally, "The Mockingbird & the Crow", Hardy.  This is his second album.  It includes "Wait in the Truck", his duet with Lainey Wilson. the song "Red" with Morgan Wallen and a track called "Radio Song" featuring A Day to Remember singer Jeremy McKinnon.
