Welcome to The List,
More Yellowstone programing is on the way…the latest news is that. If you’re waiting to see how “Yellowstone” ends, you’ve got a year to wait. The conclusion of the fifth and final season won’t premiere until November of 2024…by then will anyone really care? And, as you probably already know, Kevin Costner won’t be part of it. Two new “Yellowstone” shows have been announced though: A new prequel called “1944”, and a modern-day spinoff called “2024”. There are already two prequel series, “1883” and “1923”. Are you keeping track? Who’s naming these shows, Taylor Swift?

Dolly Parton told “The Hollywood Reporter” that she’s been asked several times to headline the Super Bowl Halftime Show, but she says no because her concerts are not big productions. But that might change with her upcoming “Rockstar” album. She “could do a production show” around that.

Geo TV says Prince Harry allegedly sees himself as Matthew Perry’s character ‘Chandler’ from ‘’Friends’’. Funny, no one else does…but he says he relates to Chandler’s personality and claims to be ‘just like Chandler’ in his memoir, ‘’Spare’’. Prince Harry watched ‘Monica and Chandler’s Wedding’ while folding his underwear.

Mariah Carey is leaning into this whole “Queen of Christas” thing. Yesterday she unveiled a brand new Christmas shirt. It has a picture of her on it, with the phrase “It’s Time!”. She’s selling it on Amazon, along with some other Christmas merch.
It includes her Christmas Funko Pop, a deluxe edition of her “Merry Christmas” album, and her children’s book, “The Christmas Princess (The Adventures of Little Mariah)”. . . which came out last year. On a slightly different note, Mariah is also the star of Victoria’s Secret’s new holiday campaign.

Garth Brooks will headline the first-ever “Amazon Music Live” special on November 24th, which is Black Friday. He’ll be performing live from the grand opening of his new ‘Friends in Low Places Bar and Honky-Tonk’ in Nashville. It’s a pretty small venue, so he didn’t make tickets available. But you can watch it live for free exclusively on the Prime Video app and the Amazon Music Channel on Twitch. (You do NOT have to be a Prime member.)

Did you know that Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt were making a movie based on that old Lee Majors TV show “The Fall Guy”? Well, they did . . . and now there’s a trailer. (WARNING: The video contains profanity.)

Welcome to The List,
Eric Dane, best known as McSteamy on Grey’s Anatomy, has passed away at 53 after battling ALS. He first revealed his diagnosis last April, but symptoms began earlier in 2024. His family says he spent his final days surrounded by his wife, daughters, and close friends, and he used his fight to raise awareness for ALS research.

William Shatner is officially going metal…because apparently retirement is for people without a spaceship. The 94 year old icon is releasing a heavy metal album featuring covers of Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, and Judas Priest, plus original songs with 35 metal legends. He says metal is where imagination gets loud, which explains a lot about Captain Kirk. There’s nothing more metal than a man eligible for social security since Nixon.

Jelly Roll is officially becoming a member of the Grand Ole Opry on March 10th, and Lainey Wilson will be there to welcome him in. He first found out back in December when Craig Morgan surprised him with the invitation, and now Craig will perform at the induction too. It’s one of country music’s highest honors, and proof that redemption stories hit harder than any guitar solo.

Kane Brown is the latest country star to plant his flag on Broadway in Nashville with his own entertainment venue. Kane Brown’s on Broadway will feature a full restaurant, bar, and live music, which basically guarantees fans will spend money while singing his songs badly. Every country star gets a bar eventually, it’s practically a rite of passage. At this point, Nashville Broadway is less a street and more a country music theme park.
