Kevin Spacey got a quick victory in court yesterday, when a civil jury took a little over an hour to decide he did NOT sexually assault fellow actor Anthony Rapp when he was underage in 1986.  Rapp was seeking $40 million in damages. Spacey didn’t speak to reporters after the verdict, but his attorney said, quote,  “That there was no truth to any of the allegations.”

Tom Brady denied speculation that he might re-retire before the end of the season.  He said, quote, “I love the sport, I love the teammates, and I want to go do a good job for this team like I always have.  So, no retirement in my future.” ..well, he better get on it The Tampa Bay  Buccaneers are 3 & 3 so far this season and it cost him his marriage…

People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) is threatening to place an ancient curse on Gordon Ramsay if he doesn’t remove octopus from his restaurant menus.  The ‘Octocurse’ painfully turns any human who kills, cooks, or consumes octopuses into a cephalopod, which is a marine Mollusk with tentacles So, there’s another reason never to eat seafood…

He is about a two year old tabby who came to the ARL as a stray. He came in with an injury to his hip, but thankfully it was the serious and has fully healed.

Since Pierre is the KIX Critter his adoption fee is half off the regular price of $50, you can make him your couch buddy for $25.00!! More info

The List for Monday, March 30th 2026

Welcome to The List,

Tiger Woods is back in the headlines after flipping his Land Rover in Florida trying to pass a truck with a trailer. The vehicle ended up on its side, he crawled out like it was no big deal, and somehow nobody was hurt. He blew a 0.00 on a breathalyzer but refused a blood test and was charged with DUI and property damage. So yeah, that “no alcohol” part isn’t exactly calming anyone down.

-----

Keith Urban is dealing with some awkward rumors linking him to younger Nashville singers, and apparently his daughters are not loving the headlines. Sources say it’s a bad look no matter what, because either he comes off like a womanizer or a guy striking out. Meanwhile, the women involved are flat-out denying everything.

-----

Country legend Charlie Daniels is making a return in hologram form for America’s 250th birthday celebration. The show is set for Fort Campbell and will feature performances from Aaron Tippin and others, along with a digital version of Charlie headlining. His son says it’s a dream come true, which is sweet… but also a little “we’re living in the future now.”

-----

Michael Jordan says he still dreams about making an NBA comeback… in his 60s. He told CBS that competitive fire never really leaves, and he’d love to pick up a basketball again at that level. Which is adorable, because most of us dream about getting off the couch without making a noise.
