The List for Thursday September 10th 2020

Welcome to The List -

It's officially football season and Billy Currington Is A Big Football Fan, Thanks To The Dallas Cowboys "I’m a big football fan. I mean, when I was growing up, if you asked me who my favorite team was now, I couldn’t tell you. But when I was a kid, it was the Dallas Cowboys. And I don’t know if it was because my mom bought my brother a Pittsburgh Steelers pennant for some reason, and bought me a Dallas Cowboys pennant, and of course over the year, I fell in love with the Cowboys, and then I wanted a jersey the next Christmas, and then the next one, I wanted [more Cowboys stuff]. So, I became a long-term fan with those guys. But I like it all now that I’m older. I’ll watch any game, it doesn’t matter who’s playing. But [I] love football"

Hardy's new album "A Rock" is available today and his buddy Morgan Wallen had this to say about his favorite track "I think that my favorite is the title track, 'A Rock.' I don't know that song it's just special to me in the way that he connects those things. I mean Hardy is just a genius anyway in the way he writes songs. I really- I look up to and I think he's the best songwriter that I know. And I've met all kinds of them. I think if you- if you haven't heard his new album, then you should go check it out right now.

You know what they say about all good things....AMC announced yesterday that its flagship series The Walking Dead will be coming to an end following an expanded, two-year 11th season. Season 10 is receiving six extra episodes in early next year, which means that 30 episodes are left of the zombie drama. AMC has also ordered a spin off series that will focus on star Norman Reedus' Daryl and Melissa McBride's Carol that will premiere in 2023.

Last night Jimmy Kimmel Live Brad Paisley was sitting in the hosting chair and had Rainn Wilson from "The Office" on and got to the bottom of what a Zonky is "It looks super adorable but, in actuality, a Zonky is kinda the worst characteristics of a Donkey and a zebra. Has all of like the wild kind of biting tantrums of a wild Zebra, and then all the dopey stubbornness of a Donkey so....He has just the worst personality in the world" Sounds like my high school ex-girlfriend...she used to spit alot too...

The List for Wednesday September 9th 2020

Welcome to The List -

Thomas Rhett has been grilling alot during the lockdown... "Ribs have been my favorite thing to make. I follow this account called 'Meat Church' and they make a lot of great rubs. And if you have the time to do it, let those ribs sit on there for five to six hours and wrap ‘em in aluminum foil with some butter and brown sugar, some good ol’ Meat Church rub and you’re good to go."

Paging Dr. Matt Stell!! While many of our Country Music stars had dreams of playing sports before the music bug bit'em.  Matt Stell tells Songwriters Universe that he came very close to being a doctor. He applied to a pre-med program through Harvard and got accepted and was headed there until six weeks before leaving, he got the opportunity he was really hoping for...a publishing deal so he stayed in Nashville..

Derek Hough is coming back to "Dancing With The Stars" but this time as a judge ... He plans to be a "fair and honest" judge. "I think I'll be a fair judge a fun judge, but more importantly, I want to try to inspire and motivate these celebrities to have the best possible time so they get better each week. So, it's going to be fun, I'm excited" "Dancing With The Stars" returns Monday night.

Actor Sacha Baron Cohen was spotted filming something as his famous Borat character last month in Long Beach which made people wonder if there's another Borat movie in the works...well, the answer is no, it's not in the works....it's already been filmed.  Borat 2 has already been filmed and screened for “a select few industry types,” according to a new report from Collider....

The List for Tuesday September 8th 2020

Welcome to The List  -

Today we start off with Georgia Line star Tyler Hubbard, he injured his ankle recently while riding his dirt bike...He's recovering nicely at home getting cards and messages of "get well soon" but nothing will top the voice mail he got from his daughter Olivia Rose - She said; "Daddy, I love you so much ... I hope your ankle feels better and I hope it heals." Aw! right in the feels....

Maren Morris Hasn't minded being at home right now. So, what's the best part? "Well, of course, getting to spend so much time with my husband and my baby. You know, if I had been on tour I would have had my kid out with me, but then Ryan (Hurd) would be out on tour as well. It just wouldn’t have been this really condensed family time that we are getting right now. So, that’s probably the best part. And, I’m also like- you know, off the road, I’m the laziest person. I just watch constant Netflix and Bravo and do nothing with my life except Postmates food. I’ve loved doing that in my free time."

The wheels are turning slowly for The Matrix 4 movie. While a number of stars from The Matrix trilogy have returned for the latest installment of the franchise...one of the most glaring omissions was Hugo Weaving, The 60-year-old actor, who played Agent Smith in all three of The Matrix movies, says he was approached to return but scheduling complications couldn't be ironed out..

You'll be relieved to know Pamela Anderson has moved on from her marriage to Mr. Jon Peters... her 12-day marriage. A source close to the couple tells People that Pamela and her new man have been riding out the pandemic together and began dating shortly after she split from Peters in February when the COVID-19 pandemic began in North America. “She's very happy," ....Oh! who is she dating? well, it's Pamela Anderson...so you know he's got to be rich, maybe famous...naw...she's dating her security guard...who pulled the short straw there....maybe HE did...

The List for Friday September 4th 2020

Welcome to The List -

Chris Stapleton was asked how HE is keeping centered during the pandemic "You know there's good days and bad days. My birthday this year in April, my wife's like what do you want and I said I think I want a bicycle. So, I started riding a mountain bike. I go out in the woods and ride a bicycle through the woods, and it helps tremendously" Stapleton announced that his fourth studio album, 'Starting Over', would be released on November 13, 2020.

The Sun reports Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton have finally moved into their new $13 million Los Angeles home. A source tells the newspaper, “They are very happy to be settled at last in their family home. ...the next question, obviously...when will they set the date!!

A couple movie things out of Hollywood today....

“No Time To Die” — the 25th movie in the James Bond franchise — dropped a new trailer via Twitter yesterday morning. Simply captioned, “The mission that changes everything begins … #NoTimeToDie,” the two-and-half-minute promo clip features Daniel Craig in his swan song as 007. The film is finally set to race into cinemas in November — The official release date is now set for November 20.

Looks like "The Batman" movie will be halting production...again...this time unfortunately it's because it's main star Actor Robert Pattinson has tested positive for Covid, just days after it resumed following lockdown. So, now...they are back on lockdown Robert will self-isolate for two weeks before filming resumes.
