The List for Tuesday, February 7th 2023

Welcome to The List,

Buzzfeed tossed out the names of 50 celebrities . . . and asked people if they have a POSTIVE or NEGATIVE opinion of them at the moment.  Some of the most highly regarded celebrities are not surprising. Keanu Reeves and Danny DeVito, Dolly Parton and Ryan Reynolds were at the top of the ‘Positive” opinion list and at the very bottom? Mark Zuckerberg from Facebook, Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos from Amazon.

AMC will soon start charging different prices for movie tickets, depending on where your SEAT is.  The good ones in the middle will cost more, while the worst ones, like the front row, will cost less.  Here I thought they were trying to get people to come BACK to the theater.

Is “Yellowstone” ending this summer?  Kevin Costner might be leaving “Yellowstone”, due to scheduling conflicts. That could lead to the original “Yellowstone” coming to an end when Season Five wraps later this year.  For now, it’s just a rumor, but if that happens there’s talk of a possible spinoff with Matthew McConaughey.

When you’ve been in a men’s magazine, were part of a TV show, a movie, and married to one of the biggest rockstars in the world…you then get a documentary made about you…a book based off the same documentary…what’s next?  The Daily Mail says Pamela Anderson is getting her own cooking show titled ”Pamela’s Cooking With Love”. The series will originate from her home in Canada. The Food Network has ordered eight episodes. Pamela will be cooking plant-based meals.

You may remember Lainey Wilson’s awesome New Year’s resolution when she vowed to “maintain her big back side so more people can kiss it.”  Well, a line has formed.  It’s actually an Instagram account filled with pics of Lainey’s backside.

—–

A couple of lawmakers want to add Steve Earle’s 1988 hit “Copperhead Road” to the list of State Songs of Tennessee.  They proposed a bill to be voted on during the legislative session.

The List for Wednesday, April 1st 2026

Welcome to The List,

Meghan Markle allegedly thought she could jump the royal line. A new book claims she believed she should be queen next. Said she was smarter, better, and worked harder than Kate. That’s not confidence, that’s skipping the entire family tree.

-----

Two Blackhawk helicopters hovering over Kid Rock’s house raised eyebrows fast. Army pilots got suspended while the investigation played out. Then the Defense Secretary stepped in and shut it down. Suspensions lifted, no punishment, case closed just like that.

-----

Keith Urban might be ready to say a little more. A report claims he felt iced out of Nicole Kidman’s interview. She talked family and life but didn’t mention him once. Now there’s talk he could finally tell his side. Nothing says romance like a possible press tour response.

-----

And if you saw Jason Aldean storm off Colbert… relax. That viral story is completely made up from top to bottom. Wrong show name, bad details, zero credible sources behind it. The internet really said “let’s just create chaos today.” Moral of the story, not everything trending is actually true…I know…surprise right??
