The List for Tuesday, December 31st 2024

Welcome to The List,

Eric Church Shares His Best Hangover Cures ... "The best hangover cure – I’ve got two. One is 5-hour Energy, because of all the B-vitamins that are in it. You can start pounding those, and it’s either gonna work, or it’s gonna keep you up and prolong your misery. But the other one I have is just take two Advil and a beer in the morning. Hair of the dog, man – that works every time"

Keanu Reeves isn't ready for "John Wick" No. 5 just yet. The longtime action star told "CBS Mornings" that a new installment of the hitman series may have to wait for his body to recover. Saying "You can never say never, but my knees right now are saying 'You can't do another John Wick’. My heart does, but I don't know if my knees do," Reeves will return as Mr. Wick… in "Ballerina," a spinoff movie starring Ana de Armas set to premiere in 2025. His role is a mere cameo though.

-----

Sean 'Diddy' Combs allegedly had a meltdown at Brooklyn's Metropolitan Detention Center on Christmas. A source says, Diddy thought he'd be out on bail by now. He eventually managed to calm himself down with meditation.  Yeah, doing crime has a way of interrupting your plans sometimes.

-----

Jay Leno tells PEOPLE magazine that despite rumors, his recent injuries were not from getting beaten up by the mob due to gambling debts. "Well, I like the idea that they wouldn’t just take one of my cars for the gambling debt. I don’t gamble. Losing 100 bucks makes me feel stupider than winning one thousand makes me feel good. Because I go, ‘I could have taken my wife to dinner.' "

The List for Monday, December 30th 2024

Welcome to The List,

The official state funeral for former President Jimmy Carter will be held Jan. 9 at the Washington National Cathedral in Washington, D.C., the White House confirmed Monday.

He died, Sunday in his hometown of Plains, Georgia. The Nobel Peace Prize-winner's wife of 77 years, Rosalynn, also passed away in the modest house they built together in 1961…

President Joe Biden has declared that day as a National Day of Mourning and has ordered U.S. flags to fly at half-staff for 30 days. Jimmy Carter was 100...

There’s been a Smith sighting! For the first time since May, Will and Jada Pinkett Smith were spotted out together recently. The couple, who Jada revealed to have been separated for eight years, dined with friends in Calabasas. In one photo they’re chatting with one another while walking. In another shot, Jada leaned in and wrapped an arm around her estranged husband…. then flipped him…slapped him and told him to keep her name out of his mouth!!

-----

Yellowstone creator Taylor Sheridan's newest smash, Landman, features an impressive all-star cast, but if you have been paying close attention, you may have also noticed a very special guest star on the show. Tim McGraw and Faith Hill's daughter, Audrey, has popped up on Landman more than once in recent weeks.

Audrey McGraw first appeared on Landman during Episode 5, titled "Where Is Home." She played the role of Shelby, who lives next door to the house the main character Tommy (Billy Bob Thornton) lives…inviting his daughter “Ainsley” to a Patch Party…

-----

And lastly…If you're a DIEHARD FAN of Jelly Roll, you may have known this, but for everyone new to the bandwagon: Jelly recorded a song 10 years ago with Uncle Kracker… called "Sunday Morning" .  It was NOT about CHURCH . . . it was about waking up hungover after a wild weekend partying like they were in a "fraternity house. “.. you can find it if you search…

The List for Friday, December 27th 2024

Welcome to The List,

The last couple of years have been quite a whirlwind for Jackson Dean, and he’s had the opportunity to check off quite a few things on his career bucket list, including several venues he’s always dreamed of playing. But are there other venues he still dreams of performing in?  “I’ve already done the Ryman, I’ve already done the Opry, I’ve done Red Rocks. Now, the funny thing is like, where are we gonna go next? I mean, the next step is to headline these places for sure, but where’s the next place? It’s a really great question I haven’t been able to answer for a little while. And I’ve been thinkin’ about, you know, where’s the next goal? I’ve even thought about all the O2s over in Europe and stuff. And I’m sure there’s stadiums over there and places over there that I don’t know about that I’d love to go. But I mean, I’ve been three years tourin’ around this country and gotten to all the lower 48 and played so many places. But yeah, we’re gonna keep settin’ goals for ourselves, and we’ve just checked so many off at this point ,you know. It’s a funny little problem to have.”

With the New Year quickly approaching, a lot of people will be making resolutions to improve certain aspects of their life. Considering Tim McGraw is probably one of the fittest guys in country music, his resolution probably won’t have to do with working out or eating healthier. So, we wondered if there was something in Tim’s life that he feels could use some improvement. “Gosh, there’s way more things on my list that I need to get better at than there are things that I’ve gotten better at. You know, we’re all a work in progress and every day you’re trying to do something to make yourself a better person. Some days you fail at that and some days you don’t. It’s hard not to dwell on the things that you’ve done wrong, but if you dwell on those things you sort of get lost in the muck. And my philosophy, I don’t always accomplish it, but all you can do is try to do the next best thing. You know, if you do something wrong, just try to do the next best thing.”

About 65 million combined viewers watched the Kansas City Chiefs top the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Baltimore Ravens battle the Houston Texans, according to the NFL and Netflix. They report they were the most streamed NFL games in U.S. history, according to Nielsen. What do you know..no gliches…like with the Tyson-Paul fight…

-----

Speaking of Netflix…One of Netflix’s biggest shows is officially back. The second season of South Korean thriller Squid Game premiered on the streamer on Thursday, over three years after the show premiered in 2021. Additionally, there will be one more season, with the third and final season premiering sometime in 2025.

The List for Thursday, December 26th 2024

Welcome to The List,

Did you catch Beyonce’s performance during half-time on Wednesday’s game between the Baltimore Ravens and the Houston Texans? She performed a medley of songs off her album, “Cowboy Carter,” released earlier this year. Post Malone and Shaboozey, who are featured on “Cowboy Carter,” made special appearances during the Christmas Day performance.

-----

Carly Pearce spent some time on tour with Tim McGraw earlier this year, and although she’s an avid runner and big into other fitness regimens like Orange Theory and spinning, one workout she has no plans to incorporate into her routine is Tim’s intense CrossFit training. “Yeah, I’m not gonna be a part of Tim McGraw’s workouts because quite frankly, I don’t think I could keep up. I did pull the tire up and I got it up, but he said that he will flip the tire the length of like a football field, y’all. And I’m just not going to do that. I will stick to running. If Tim McGraw wants to do a running challenge, let’s go.”

Some people may not know that one of Justin Moore’s favorite hobbies is cooking. He loves to try new recipes and often watches the Food Network for inspiration. We wondered if Justin has ever considered putting all those family recipes and his other favorites into a cookbook. “I would certainly be up for it. I’ve not ever thought about it, but I think it would be somethin’ that would be fun to do.”

-----

The 42nd president is currency hospitalized after coming down with a fever that required medical attention. NBC News reports Bill Clinton is in a Washington, D.C. hospital on his own accord. An aide told the media outlet that Clinton,  who is 78, “Is in good spirits and grateful for the care he is receiving.  “The former president will be fine. “He developed a fever and wanted to be checked out. He is awake and alert.”
