Welcome to The List,
Thinking about starting a band? Sometimes the hardest part is the promotions….Just ask Parmalee Star Matt Thomas On The Funny Ways The Band Promoted Themselves When They Were Starting Out … “We were relentless about promotions. We’d ride around with stickers on our cars, we even rented one of those signs in our front yard with the big flashing arrow that said Parmalee Friday night at the club. My dad would pull it around in his blue Ford pickup truck.”

The Hollywood Walk of Fame Class of 2023 was announced Friday. The list of 24 inductees includes Uma Thurman . . . Vince Vaughn . . . Ludacris . . . Jonas Brothers . . . and Lenny Kravitz… Amber Heard was spotted at a TJ Maxx in Bridgehampton, New York with her sister on Thursday. Is she getting frugal because she owes Johnny Depp more than $8 million? Or does she always shop there?

First jobs are..well let’s face it FIRST JOBS…and, their not always the most fun…Jon Pardi tells CMT that he hated working at a grocery store. Saying “The worst job he ever had was at the hometown grocery store. He didn’t want to work. He was 15 and didn’t want to work at the grocery store. bagging was fun. But going down the aisles and pulling up cans and turn them around and face them. Was the worst he would just get so bored…

In a surprise twist, Pixar and Disney’s new movie Lightyear lost Father’s Day weekend and failed to holdover Jurassic World Dominion at the domestic box office. Lightyear was expected to top the chart with a $70 million to $85 million opening. Instead, the Toy Story spinoff buzzed to a disappointing $51 million. That’s to bad, it looked like a fun movie…

The things that we do for art….and authenticity…In a new interview, Faith Hill said she was forced to let her armpit hair grow out before filming “1883”. “Taylor called my husband. We were at our nephew’s wedding, and he said, ‘Who’s gonna be the one to tell your wife that she has to stop shaving under her arms?’ “And I’m thinking, ‘What? We’re at a wedding. Can this wait?’ He goes, ‘No, stop tonight.’ That was three months before filming. She thought maybe they could just tape something on…but no…it really grossed her out.

Brad Paisley just confessed what every guy already knows… he’s a last-minute Christmas shopper. Brad says he ends up at the mall on December 24th, panic-buying gifts he doesn’t fully understand. He admits it’s a waste of what should be a fun day, but somehow he still does it every year. Buying mystery gifts and hoping for the best… truly a man of the people.

Cher is catching heat for allegedly lip-syncing during her Saturday Night Live performance. Some fans compared it to Ashlee Simpson’s infamous 2004 moment which feels a little dramatic. Cher is 79 years old, it’s a taped show, and lip-syncing has been happening on SNL longer than the cold open.

Jake Paul revealed he had surgery after getting knocked out by Anthony Joshua. He says doctors had to install two titanium plates on each side of his jaw and remove some teeth. Jake says the surgery went well, but he’s on liquids only for seven days. Nothing humbles a YouTuber faster than being on a smoothie diet.

Welcome to The List,
Mike Tyson says he’s open to a rematch with Jake Paul after Jake’s recent loss to Anthony Joshua. Tyson claims this time he’s cracked the code on training, saying he went too hard before and “left most of the fight in the gym.” RadarOnline says Mike thinks a smarter camp would change everything. Which is wild, because the man is still Mike Tyson. If this happens, somebody hide the ear protection… literally.
