The List for Monday, November 14th 2022

Welcome to The List,

Here’s a twist….Alec Baldwin wants to make sure it’s on the record that he is NOT responsible for the death of “Rust” cinematographer Halyna Hutchins. And he’s doing that by SUING several crew members who had anything to do with the loaded gun that went off and killed her. One of the reasons Alec is doing this is because HE is being sued by script supervisor Mamie Mitchell, who was also hit by the bullet that discharged from Alec’s gun.

“Black Panther: Wakanda Forever” did about what everyone expected . . . making $180 million in the U.S. in its opening weekend. That’s a record for November, “Black Panther” made $150 million internationally, for a worldwide total of $330 million. The original “Black Panther” made $202 million in the U.S. in its opening weekend back in 2018.

Lainey Wilson has spent her whole life immersed in country music.  But there she was making her acting debut on last night’s “Yellowstone”.  And it looks like she may have a future there too. That’s according to Kelly Reilly, who plays Beth Dutton on the show.  She told Lainey it looked like she had been “doing it forever”. She did very well, I watched the two-hour season premier and all I can say is … wow…it’s going to be a good season…

Congratulations to Dolly Parton she was awarded $100 million as the recipient of Jeff Bezos’ 2022 Courage and Civility Award.  The money will be donated to organizations of her choice.  She said, quote, “When people are in a position to help, you should help.  I try to put my money where my heart is and will do good things with this.”

The new Godzilla, King Kong movie has a new title… sort of…Now, it’s called Godzilla AND Kong…because now they’re friends.  To be fair, this title hasn’t been officially announced yet; so it’s always possible the movie will actually end up being called Godzilla Or Kong, or Godzilla But Kong.  Still, the whole “And” thing does tie into the already released synopsis for the film, which states that it pits “the almighty Kong *and* the fearsome Godzilla against a colossal undiscovered threat hidden within our world.”…We’re holding our breath….

Parties are already being scheduled for spring of next year…it’s confirmed that Kenny Chesney, Shania Twain, Eric Church, Carly Pearce, Jake Owen, and Brett Young are some of the acts performing at next year’s Tortuga Music Festival.  It’s going down April 14th through the 16th in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

The List for Tuesday, December 23rd 2025

Welcome to The List,

Keith Urban just gave fans exactly what they’ve been begging for. His brand-new live album “High And A(live)” is officially out now, recorded straight from the High And Alive World Tour. You get 11 number-one hits, plus his cover of “You Get What You Give.” This isn’t a watered-down live album either it’s basically front-row energy without paying arena prices.

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.

The List for Monday, December 22nd 2025

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.

-----

Taylor Swift reportedly used to be hesitant about dating athletes until Travis Kelce showed up. A source says her mom encouraged her to give Travis a chance, and now Taylor’s outlook has completely changed. Not only that, insiders claim the relationship has boosted the Chiefs’ global presence. Turns out the tight end also unlocked international brand expansion.

-----

Lainey Wilson told CMT she stays grounded by remembering where she came from. She said it’s about planting your feet, knowing who you are, standing up for what you believe in, and keeping your people close. Which explains why she can win everything, host award shows, and still sound like the most normal human in Nashville.

-----

Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban are reportedly still neighbors in Nashville as they focus on co-parenting their daughters. Nicole stays in the family home, Keith lives nearby, and they’re even spotted shopping at the same stores…just separately. A source says their dedication to the kids is unwavering. Awkward? Maybe.
