The List for Thursday April 9th 2020

Welcome to The List -

Some of your Country stars discuss what they are doing during the quarantining -

Florida Georgia Line Star Tyler Hubbard Talks About The Positives Of Quarantining ... "It’s been fun to try to push yourself to do things that you typically wouldn’t do, like try to eat healthy for a week and then workout steady, and then also, just spending time with the family and investing in our marriage and investing in our children. It’s just been a lot of fun. We’re staying positive and we know this is eventually gonna be over and life will resume as it once was. And so, we’re just trying to learn from this and remember what we’re grateful for, and the things that we maybe took for granted before this."

Sam Hunt Talks About What He's Been Doing During The Coronavirus Quarantine ... "We’re doing well. We’re stocked up on groceries and supplies and we live south of town. We just moved into a little cabin out in the woods about five months ago, so we’re getting some time in the new place, getting to know it a little bit. There’s some woods behind the house we can go and walk in, and we’re doing that now after we binged out on Netflix and You tube, and got some dogs. I’ve got a little bird dog puppy, I’ll get out in the yard, trying to train, so I’ll mess with him a little bit. But getting to spend some time around the house, taking it easy, but I’m hoping this thing passes sooner than later."

Rita Wilson wants Tom Hanks to celebrate her life with “lots of singing and dancing” if she dies before him. Earlier this year, the couple became the first stars to be publicly diagnosed with the deadly coronavirus. And, after fighting off the illness, the star reflected on death in a pre-recorded segment on Tuesday’s installment of The Kelly Clarkson Show, where she said she and her husband have had “very serious discussions” about how he is to handle her passing. “I said to him, ‘Look, if something happens and I should go before you then I just want you to know that there’s a couple of things that I want. One is that I want you to be super sad for a really long time,’” Rita said. “The second thing was that I wanted a party. I wanted to have a celebration and I wanted to have a lot of singing and dancing and people telling stories and to feel like that was being celebrated,” she added. Back in 2015, Rita underwent a double mastectomy a month after being diagnosed with breast cancer and, in December, 2015, announced that she was “100 percent healthy.” “In some ways, cancer was a blessing,” she told Kelly. “It really taught me to live every moment to the fullest and every moment as if it were your last. We don’t know what tomorrow brings. We have to be able to live, and go out today going, ‘Wow, OK. I did it. I did everything that I wanted to do. I lived the life that I wanted to live today,’” Rita added.

The Sun newspaper says Macaulay Culkin is allegedly being paid $3 million for a walk-on cameo in the new "Home Alone" reboot. A source tells the newspaper, “No Home Alone is complete without the star of the show, Macaulay. Disney bosses were desperate to get him on board and they’ve opened their wallets in a big way to do so. His cameo is being planned and they’re working out the details – but it’ll cost them nearly $3 million for the privilege.”

The Daily Mirror says a woman from the Philippines has named her newborn son Covid Bryant after the coronavirus and the late Kobe Bryant. Over 50,000 people have liked the baby's name on Twitter. Some people think the child is going to get bullied because of his name..The LA Lakers are working out a deal..

I know we’re catching up on some movies and some TV shows and also just spending a lot of time with my daughter and my wife, trying to get back into catching up on some books and just kind of re-centering and slowing down a little bit. I hope everybody’s kind of doing that. I hope everybody, like I said, stays healthy and safe, and I look forward to being back out and playing music for you guys."

But that’s kind of the things that we’re watching right now. I’ll tell you what we just started that we’re way behind on, that we never watched when it was out but we’re way into it now, is 'The Sopranos.' I think we’re, like, halfway through the first season or something like that, so that’s the new one we’re on."

The List - For Monday April 6, 2020

Welcome to another edition of The List -

Staying safe at home Keith Urban is self-quarantined during the pandemic, but the singer says he’s making the most of the unexpected downtime. “It’s early days, still, in a lot of ways, but it’s been a very vibrant house,” Keith tells ET. The singer’s household includes his wife, actress Nicole Kidman, and their two daughters: 11-year-old Sunday and 9-year-old Faith. In their house, family time means a whole lot of board games, like Apples to Apples, Uno, and What Do You Meme? Keith adds that the family is staying active, explaining that the time at home includes “a lot of music around the piano, dancing and getting out in our backyard.” Fans have gotten to get a few peeks into the star’s more musical at-home pursuits, since Keith's been live-streaming performances from home with help from Nicole. Like his musical peers, Keith misses performing live for his fans, but he appreciates having the ability to stay connected with virtual shows. "Country music is many things to many people, but the one thing I've always felt it is community… Music is the great connector, so I've been elated to see so many at-home concerts," Keith explains. "Everybody's getting incredibly creative with how they can express and create and connect with everybody."

The Rock Wanted To Be A Country Music Singer ... He says "I actually had this dream about being a country music singer. True story. When I was in Nashville, one fateful night on Music Row on Broad Street when I was fifteen years old. Changed my mind." When he was younger he lived in Nashville. He says, "I used to spend a lot of time down on Music Row and I did, I wanted to be a traditional country music singer. Had a decent voice, I could carry a tune. But I wound up buying a car from a crackhead. It was the best thing that never happened to me. It's just like me making it in the NFL. Me making it to the NFL was the best thing that never happened."
