The List for Friday, June 2nd 2023

Welcome to The List,

Sometimes the “behind the scenes” can be more interesting than the movies themselves…take “Fast and the Furious” for example…FIRST Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson was feuding with Vin Diesel…NOW…Vin Diesel blames Jason Momoa of tanking “Fast X” which I thought they won the box office when it opened…NOW…The Rock and Diesel have made up and is returning for Pt. 2 of “Fast X” as Luke Hobbs…See…THIS is why I was “Rick and Morty” a lot less confusing.

Dierks Bentley is crazy about hockey, so this is a perfect match.  He’s hosting the 2023 NHL Awards.  They’re being held June 26th in Nashville, and will air on TNT, Sportsnet, and TVA Sports in the U.S. and Canada. He says, I’ve been to rinks all over the country with my travel hockey son.  [And] I am a proud member of a beer league team in Nashville.  To get to add NHL Awards host to this list is truly an honor.”

Billy Joel’s record-breaking residency at Madison Square Garden will end in July of 2024, after 10 years and 150 shows. He’s already played 60 more shows at MSG than any other artist.  He’s not LEAVING New York…he’s just going to be playing some shows elsewhere.

—–

Lauren Alaina has announced details of her new EP.  It’s called “Unlocked”, and it’ll be out one week from today.  She says the album “comes from my heart and my hometown”.  It also has a little bit of humor. There’s a song with Lainey Wilson called “Thicc As Thieves” . . . and the message is in the spelling.  There’s no “K” in thick.  It has two “C’s” . . . which is a reference to them being, well, not skinny.

—–

Radar Online says Jamie Foxx allegedly suffered a blood clot in his brain that has left him partially paralyzed and blind. Hollywood journalist AJ Benza is quoted by the website as saying, that they blame the covid vaccine. Adding that Jamie did not want the shot, but the movie he was on, pressured him to get it. Jamie Foxx’s daughter has said that her father has been rehabbing and playing Pickle-ball, so…what’s the truth here?

—–

Keith Urban is really loving his Vegas residency…he tells Fox News that It’s allowing him to try out a lot of new show elements things that you couldn’t possibly put in trucks and carry around on a tour, so we get to do stuff that we could never do if it wasn’t for that residency.”

—–

And lastly, I know it’s hard to believe, but Tom Brady STILL says he’s done playing football. He says he is looking forward to his Fox broadcasting job…We…shall..see Mr..Bond….

The List for Thursday, September 18th 2025

Welcome to The List,

Taking pain for your craft to a whole new level Eric Church told Billboard he wants the struggle. He said he actually puts himself in the most uncomfortable situations possible, makes sure it’s hard, makes sure it’s clumsy, all because he’s chasing that one thing that’s nearly impossible to catch. Sounds exhausting, but hey… better him than us.

-----

Darius Rucker’s fantasy football season is off to a brutal start. He’s in five leagues, and after week one, he’s 0 and 5. He joked, “How do you go 0-5? That’s not even mathematically possible!” Don’t worry, Darius, we’ll still let you sing the Monday Night Football song.

-----

The mystery continues for Morgan Wallen’s Sand in My Boots Festival. First, the website said “See you in 2026.” Now it just says “See you next time.” So… is it happening next year, or are we all just supposed to sit here in our boots and wait?

-----

A Cowboys fan went full Marvel mode he built a working Iron Man helmet in the team’s colors that opens whenever he needs a sip of beer. Somebody joked, “Jarvis, miss the playoffs.” That’s cold… but if you know, you know.

The List for Wednesday, September 17th 2025

Welcome to The List,

Keanu Reeves allegedly pulled off the most Keanu thing ever   secretly marrying Alexandra Grant in Europe earlier this summer. No Hollywood circus, no over-the-top spectacle, just a quiet, intimate “Matrix unplugged” kind of wedding. She’s his sounding board, he’s her biggest fan. The only shocking part is that someone this famous actually managed to keep it a secret.

------

So, Jackson Dean is out here talking about what his CB radio handle would be. Forget “Smokey and the Bandit,” ‘I don’t know, man.’ We came up with … one of ‘em was Peacock, somebody else had another one, and then mine was White Tiger. I have this giant blanket with a Siberian tiger on it that I’ve been sleepin’ on for the last four years, and they’re like, ‘There you go, White Tiger.’ So, I’m the White Tiger.”

-----

Robert Redford passed away at 89 and, in true Redford style, chose a private funeral. No Hollywood lights, no fanfare just peace at Sundance, the place he considered home. A source says it’s exactly who he was: no noise, no show, just authenticity. It’s rare in Hollywood that a star gets to exit the stage exactly the way they wanted.

-----

Before Riley Green was crooning hits, he was competing on the CMT reality show Redneck Island back in 2016. And get this he and his partner actually won the whole thing, splitting a cool $100K. From redneck games to country fame? Now that’s what you call a the most profitable mud fight in TV history.
