Even the most famous can experience bad service…Chris Janson taking to Twitter of the weekend “Just tried to feed the family after the show in Brentwood TN at the Waffle House and got asked to leave for wearing overalls.

The list of ‘Most Annoying Celebs of 2022” is out and some may THINK it’s “A Kardashian” or JLo…but no…out of the top 10 ranked.

The List for Friday, April 29th 2022

Welcome to The List,

Last year when Morgan Wallen got into some hot water and was ‘cancelled’ Jason Aldean stepped in to help his friend. Saying "Where I'm from, when you got a friend that's down, you help them get back on their feet and teach 'em, and try to help them be better. He does think Morgan's punishment was "a little excessive" . . . but at the same time he learned from it, and that's always good.

The anticipated Walking Dead Spin-off that focuses on Daryl and Carol will happen…but not with Carol….It's going to film in Europe, and unfortunately Melisa McBride can't commit to the move just yet.
