The List for Tuesday, January 17th 2023

Welcome to The List,

Lisa Rinna recently announced she's leaving "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills".  In a new interview, she said the Housewife Universe has become unhealthy and no longer works for her….nor has it worked for many others…for a long time…

-----

Ron Howard wants "Backdraft" to be the next of his movies to get the TV series treatment.  That's the 1991 firefighter movie starring Kurt Russell and William Baldwin.  He told "Entertainment Weekly", that, "We could do it efficiently and safely . . .He clarified that a series is NOT in the works, but that producer Brian Grazer talks about it from time to time.  If it were to happen, it would be Ron's third movie to become a series.

-----

Tyler Hubbard explains why he didn't change the title of his song "5 Foot 9", after finding out his wife Hayley is 5'10".  First, it was already written, and you don't change a finished product.  Plus, he wasn't sure at the time if he would even record it, so it wouldn't have made a difference.

-----

No doubt Maren Morris had good intentions when she apologized to the LGBTQ+ community on Friday's episode of "RuPaul's Drag Race".  But it DID sound like she was trying to represent all of country music. And now, someone in "country music" . . . namely Thompson Square . . . has taken issue with that.  Yesterday they Tweeted, "Didn't realize there was a spokesperson for all of country music these days."  I’m not sure what was she apologizing for anyway,  did she take their skittles?

-----

The Grammy Awards are February 3rd, and Luke Combs has three nominations.  Somebody wondered how he feels about it, and he said this “I mean you know getting these Grammy nominations is awesome you know? You know they don’t come around too often. And so you know having the opportunity to just be to be thought of when that time comes is pretty unique and is always always awesome.“  The 65th Annual Grammy Awards hosted by Trevor Noah, Sunday February 5th at 6pm on CBS.

-----

The NY Post says Lisa Marie Presley's three daughters, Riley, Harper and Finley, will inherit Graceland. Lisa will be buried on the property. Elvis purchased the home in 1957 for $100,000. The estate is now worth $500 million. Lisa Marie once said, “Graceland was given to me and will always be mine. And then passed to my children. It will never be sold.”
