Welcome to The List,
Someone once said that major celebrity deaths come in THREES. It’s unclear who first said that . . . and if they’ve died, who were the other two people who died at the same time. We lost three beloved celebrity old-schoolers over the weekend. Nichelle Nichols from “Star Trek” . . . NBA legend Bill Russell . . . and actress Pat Carroll, who provided the voice of Ursula in “The Little Mermaid”.

Luke Bryan brought a little happiness to two boys at his show on Saturday. They were holding up a T-shirt that said, “Our dad died. Can we sing ‘Drink a Beer’ together?” Not only did he sing with them, but he also put on the shirt.

Britney Spears finished writing a tell-all, but it won’t come out anytime soon . . . because there isn’t enough paper. Lucky US…There’s apparently a global paper shortage, so until it’s resolved, there isn’t an estimated release date.

On Friday, Will Smith put out a five-minute video, where he apologizes for slapping Chris Rock at the Oscars. It seems sincere, but it also took him almost SIX MONTHS to put out. The video is titled “It’s been a minute,” and it HAS. Actually, it’s been about 244,000 MINUTES since the Oscars. In it he says, he’s reached out to Chris Rock and hasn’t heard anything back yet, Jada had nothing to do with it and that he is devoted to bringing joy into the world.

Tragedy struck Kenny Chesney’s show in Denver on Saturday when a fan fell off the side of an escalator and died. Police said she was sitting on the railing when it happened. Kenny was “devastated” by the news, and said he’s grieving for the woman and her family.

Twitter went wild over a fan page showing that George Jetson from “The Jetsons” was born . . . yesterday July 31st 2022…..
