The List for Friday, July 19th 2024

Welcome to The List,

First, we pay tribute to Bob Newhart who passed away yesterday…you might remember his sitcoms “The Bob Newhart Show” and “Newhart”, but recently he’s probably best known for playing Will Ferrell’s Papa Elf in “Elf”. …Bob Newhart was 94

Lainey Wilson teased her return to “Yellowstone” Season 5 with an (attempted) wink.  She says she doesn’t know when filming will be, but she will prioritize it with her busy schedule.

Travis Kelce’s dream of appearing in a Top Gun movie may have to wait until he retires from the NFL. “Top Gun: Maverick” star Miles Teller says Kelce’s build doesn’t quite fit that of a fighter pilot. “You gotta be…there’s no pilot that looks like Travis Kelce. He can play the role] when he retires and loses a bunch of muscle mass, then yeah, maybe.”

Billy Ray Cyrus is allegedly panicking over his finances due to his third divorce. An insider says, “He’s going through an ugly divorce and probably blew a lot of money while married to Firerose. Now he’s panicked and desperate to get a show on the road and build up. He’s constantly watching his wallet and concerned he may be on a downward trajectory that’s not easy to fix….

The List for Monday, February 23rd 2026

Welcome to The List,

Luke Combs just welcomed baby number three, and at this point he’s not running a family… he’s running a small football team. His new son is named Chet Wiley Combs, joining big brothers Tex and Beau, which also sounds like a law firm that only handles tractor-related lawsuits. Nicole is now outnumbered four to one, which means Luke finally achieved his lifelong dream… living in a non-stop WWE event with juice boxes.

-----

Matthew McConaughey says AI actors are coming for the Oscars, which means in five years the Best Actor speech will just be a laptop saying “Thank you… processing emotions.” The upside is AI doesn’t age, doesn’t argue, and doesn’t show up late. The downside… your favorite movie star might soon be a Dell Inspiron with better abs than you.

-----

Travis Kelce and Patrick Mahomes are getting sued over their restaurant “1587 Prime” by a sneaker company called “1587 Sneakers,” which proves two things… lawyers are undefeated, and apparently numbers are now copyrighted. Somewhere right now, the number 7 is hiring security and filing paperwork just to stay out of trouble.

-----

Keith Urban and Jennifer Lopez are reportedly texting late at night, which means somewhere Nicole Kidman is casually holding Keith’s phone like, “Oh look… Jennifer sent another smiley face.” Sources say matchmakers want them together, and honestly, if this happens, country and pop fans will unite faster than free beer at a wedding.
