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...

Speaking of Labor Day and "Jobs" what are some of the worse jobs you've ever had? Here's what Eric Church told me about his worst job... “I had an awful job. I’ve had a lot of awful jobs…my worst one was when I first came to Nashville. I got a job at the Shop at Home Network. I worked midnight, graveyard, midnight to eight. That was bad enough but then I would work all night, go home, shower and then I had writing appointments all day because I was trying to get a career started.

If you want to see the live action Disney movie 'Mulan' but don’t want to pay $30 to see it on Disney+, there’s another option…though it means waiting another three months.

Before then, subscribers will have to purchase a “Premier Access” pass for $29.99 to see the film, which will be released tomorrow.

It was our first single off the next record.
