Welcome to The List,
Where is Richard Simmons!! Well, after being very cryptic on social media lately even posting that he was dying…he posted on Facebook about having skin cancer, and going to the doctor to have it removed. But after getting a huge response, he revealed that it actually happened years ago.

Screen Rant says the Rotten Tomatoes score for the ‘’Road House’’ remake, starring Jake Gyllenhaal, has surpassed the original. The remake, with Gyllenhaal playing a retired UFC fighter turned bouncer, has a 69% score compared to the 1989 original’s 41%. Critics are praising the remake for its fun approach and hard-hitting fist fights.

A series of movies based on “The Neverending Story” is in the works. The original came out 40 years ago, in 1984, and was followed by two sequels that didn’t do very well…so “Hey, lets make more”!

Garth Brooks’ bar opened in Nashville and while it has a pretty good rating overall, the people that don’t like it REALLY don’t like it. One lady was offended that they were playing “Apple Bottom Jeans”.

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.
