Welcome to The List,
A Christmas TRAGEDY almost occurred in Buffalo, New York on Wednesday night. Chevy Chase attended a screening of “Christmas Vacation”. . . and when he came out to greet the crowd, he fell off the stage. Chevy was actually wheeled onstage in a wheelchair, but then he got up and walked toward the edge of the stage. That’s when he went down. He’s okay though.

Chris Janson tells Whiskey Riff that during a recent Oklahoma City concert, he accidentally threw his harmonica into the crowd. He asked a fan, “Oh, are you okay?” Fortunately, the fan wasn’t hurt…there is a difference between “tossing” and “fast pitching” Chris…for next time….

GQ Magazine says Ben Affleck recently wore a custom pair of Dunkin’ Donuts Nike sneakers in Los Angeles. These unique sneakers were commissioned by Dunkin’ Donuts to celebrate the release of a movie Affleck worked on. I bet when he takes them off it’s the sweet aroma of freshly baked donuts….

This is what you call a missed marketing opportunity: There’s a new movie coming out called “No Way Up”. It’s about a plane that crashes in the Pacific Ocean and ends up submerged, but in an air pocket. The survivors have limited time to escape, but there’s something standing in their way: A SHARK has made its way onto the plane!!! And the question I have for everyone who had even a limited part in making this movie happen is: Why on Earth is this movie not called “Sharks on a Plane” ???

Morgan Wallen has to wear disguises in public these days. Sometimes after going hunting, he’ll leave ON his cap, camo top, and face paint . . . so he can “sneak around, and maybe even visit a Mexican restaurant.”

Welcome to The List,
Dolly Parton’s taking over the Country Music Hall of Fame, and it’s shinier than a disco ball at a rhinestone rodeo. This new exhibit is full of glitter, glam, and six decades of fabulous. Dolly even teared up, saying, “It’s a long way from the Smoky Mountains to the top of the world.”

So apparently, we’re canonizing craft brews now? Chicago’s Burning Bush Brewery just dropped a new beer called “Da Pope,” inspired by Pope Leo XIV—because nothing says holiness like hops. It's an American mild ale with fruity notes. So yeah, if you’ve ever wanted to drink the spirit of Chicago’s papal pride... now’s your chance to get buzzed and blessed.

Morgan Wallen’s new rap-cover of “Miami” is catching heat—and not the good kind. People say it sounds like he teamed up with Alvin and the freakin' Chipmunks. The chorus? High-pitched and autotuned within an inch of its life. Once you hear it, you can’t unhear it. It’s giving... helium karaoke. Bless his autotuned little heart.

Shakira’s hips don’t lie—but apparently someone’s immune system did. Someone with measles showed up at her MetLife Stadium show in New Jersey. No confirmed cases yet, but symptoms could pop up through June 6th. So if you went... congrats, you didn’t just get a concert—you might’ve got a souvenir virus. Thanks for the germs, mystery patient zero!
