The List for Tuesday, August 23rd 2022

Welcome to The List,

Venom Star Tom Hardy won two gold medals in a charity jiu-jitsu tournament in England.  It was in support of an organization that teaches the martial art as a form of therapy for veterans and members of the military and emergency services who experience depression and PTSD.

Stadium tours can be intimidating, but not to Luke Combs.  Here’s what he said when someone asked how he feels about them. Quote, “Honestly, [an] indescribable feeling . . . and hopefully I get to do it for a whole lot longer.  But yeah, there’s really nothing like it.”

—–

Keanu Reeves really IS John Wick.  A producer for the franchise said Keanu has done 90% of his own stunts in the first four movies. This statistic comes from a new book all about the series called “They Shouldn’t Have Killed His Dog”. To put Keanu’s badassery into perspective, he turns 58 next week.  The first “John Wick” came out in 2014, making him like 49 or 50 when he started the series.  So yep, he’s been doing all this stunt work throughout his 50s.

—–

Feathers are being ruffled, The new issue of “Rolling Stone UK” has Harry Styles on the cover, and it crowns him the, quote, “New King of Pop”.  As you might expect, that isn’t going over well with Michael Jackson fans. Michael’s own nephew Taj Jackson Tweeted, “There is no new King of Pop.  You don’t own the title Rolling Stone, and you didn’t earn it, my uncle did. Decades of dedication and sacrifice.  The title has been retired.  No disrespect to Harry Styles, he’s mega talented.  Give him his own unique title.”

—–

If you want to follow someone on Instagram that’s always interesting, I suggest Kacey Musgraves.  She’s been on tour in Japan . . . and has been sharing videos and pics on her Instagram stories. The one everyone’s talking about is the clip of her eating a fried cricket.  She also posted a photo of the “deep-fried insects” section of the menu, and that features scorpions and tarantulas… ah…nope!! nope…and nope…

—–

And finally Delaware Online reports that Jimmie Allen is going to start a side hussle….he’s training for the WWE in January.

The List for Monday, February 9th 2026

Welcome to The List,

Lainey Wilson says she would absolutely jump back into the saddle for upcoming Yellowstone spin-offs. She told creator Taylor Sheridan she would gladly reprise her role. Country star. Acting chops. Cowboy hats. Honestly, at this point Lainey just lives in fringe and Montana. And we are not mad about it.

-----

Adam Sandler says that viral video about his daughter getting humiliated in a Chanel store is completely fake. The AI clip shows him storming in and dropping $312,000 on handbags. He says the whole story is 100 percent insane and made-up. However… The midnight In-N-Out burger run rumor? He says that one is true. Priorities.

-----

Rumor alert. Reports claim Taylor Swift has allegedly decided not to invite Blake Lively or Ryan Reynolds to her upcoming wedding. Sources say she wants a drama-free day and still feels burned from being pulled into Blake’s legal mess. Allegedly. Emphasis on allegedly. Nothing says romance like a very selective guest list.

-----

Kelsea Ballerini and Chase Stokes have reportedly split. Again. That makes three times. At this point it is less “will they or won’t they” and more “we’ll circle back.” Call me when it sticks.

The List for Friday, February 6th 2026

Welcome to The List,

Starting off with some royal news, and surprise, it’s awkward again. Reports say things are allegedly tense between King Charles and Prince William. An insider claims there’s real anger on both sides, with William being described as controlled, strategic, and very aware that he’s the future king. Translation for the rest of us. Two strong personalities, one crown, zero compromise.

-----

The Super Bowl is fascinating because everyone watches it, but almost half of America claims they do not care who wins. A reported 47 percent of Americans have no opinion on the outcome. Among those who do care, more are pulling for the Seahawks than the Patriots. And me? I am rooting for a solid cheese dip and no commercials that make me cry.

-----

Luke Combs is sitting out the Madden Bowl concert ahead of the Super Bowl. Why? Because his wife is expecting their third child. Luke posted that family always comes first and apologized for missing the show. That is called priorities. And honestly, Dad mode beats Super Bowl mode every time.

-----

Jelly Roll is giving one of his Grammy Awards to the juvenile detention center where he once spent time. His wife Bunnie Xo says he wants to give the kids a little inspiration. That is not a publicity stunt. That is a full-circle moment. And possibly the most meaningful Grammy flex ever.
