The List for Friday, February 3rd 2023

Welcome to The List,

Well the question has finally been put to rest…no not the “Is Die Hard a Christmas movie” obviously….it is….After an exhaustive experiment, James Cameron admits that Jack might have been able to survive at the end of “Titanic”, but he adds that there are a lot of variables.  Still, if he could go back, he would make the piece of floating debris smaller so there’s no debate…I think he just didn’t like Jack.

People magazine says Gisele Bundchen has no plans to reconcile with Tom Brady now that he’s retired. A source tells the magazine, “Gisele moved on with her life quite a while ago and is happy about whatever Tom chooses to do with his life now.

Reba McEntire said no to “The Voice” when it was still in development 12 years ago.  Somebody asked if she’d reconsider now that Blake Shelton has left.  Same answer.  Still not interested.

John Wick 4 is on the way….Keanu Reeves tells Total Film magazine that he is not sure if he is going to make a fifth.  He says I think we have to wait and see how the audience responds to it. Hopefully they’ll like it.”  John Wick chapter 4 hits theaters March 24th.

The history of the Duttons will continue to play out on the small screen. Paramount+ has officially renewed its Yellowstone prequel series 1923 for a second season after the Helen Mirren and Harrison Ford-starring drama scored massive ratings throughout the first half of its debut season. Deadline confirmed the news early Friday morning, though details about the upcoming season were not shared at this time. The renewal came just days before 1923 returns Sunday with a new episode.

Kelsea Ballerini will be featured on the third installment of “CMT Storytellers”, which will air on February 16th.  There’s an exclusive preview online, where she’s performing an acoustic version of “If You Go Down (I’m Goin’ Down Too)”.

The List for Tuesday, March 31st 2026

Welcome to The List,

Taylor Swift has officially entered her glittery legal era again. A Las Vegas performer says Taylor’s use of “The Life Of A Showgirl” is stomping all over her own brand, “Confessions of a Showgirl.” She’s suing for trademark infringement, wants damages, and an injunction too.

Only Kid Rock could turn a poolside salute into a military investigation. The Army says two Blackhawk helicopters near his Tennessee mansion were just on a Nashville training route, but now they’re checking into why they hovered there. Kid says nobody’s getting in trouble and called it pretty neat. Nothing says casual Tuesday like cannonballs, patriotism, and two black helicopters hovering near your house…

-----

Riley Green is stacking side quests like a pro. He’s making his TV debut on Marshals in mid-April. And because sleep is for other people, he’s also reportedly opening a second Duck Blind bar in Gatlinburg. At this point Riley’s building a country music cinematic universe.

-----

Thomas Rhett says one of his favorite parts of touring is trying wild new foods on the road, which sounds adventurous and expensive. Meanwhile Dylan Scott keeps it a little more backyard chaos at home, admitting he’ll wander into the kitchen at midnight and cook a full meal like it’s noon. His wife wakes up confused; he’s making dinner round two. That’s not a snack, that’s a second shift.
