The List for Tuesday, November 15th 2022

Welcome to The List,

As reported late yesterday, Jay Leno suffered serious burns to his face on Saturday, when one of his cars burst into flames inside a garage in Burbank.  According to TMZ, Jay burned the left side of his face, but there was no damage to his eye or ear. He was taken by ambulance to a place called Grossman Burn Center, but it’s not clear if he’s still there.  He had to cancel a gig on Sunday in Las Vegas. He did release a statement yesterday saying, that he’s ok, and he’s taking a couple weeks to get back on his feet.

Christina Applegate made her first public appearance yesterday since being diagnosed with MS.  She was honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.  She used a walking stick and posed barefoot with her star. There were speeches from her “Married…with Children” co-stars Katey Sagal and David Faustino.  And “Dead to Me” co-star Linda Cardellini and creator Liz Feldman. And Katy stayed with Christina at the podium during her speech, for support.

Morgan Wallen didn’t win a CMA last week, but that’s okay, because he had a really good year.  He says it’s because he stayed focused and did the work. “I think we played like 75 shows or something this year.  And I did them all mostly in a sober state of mind.  I was really, really focused.”

Mike Tyson and Evander Holyfield are selling cannabis-infused edibles shaped like bitten ears.  They’re called Holy Ears.  Mike bit a chunk out of Evander’s ear during a fight in 1997. They say it’s all about helping people…

The people over at the CMA’s are happy today!!  They found out the ratings for this year’s CMA Awards were UP compared to last year.  According to the “Hollywood Reporter”, 7.6 million viewers tuned in this year, compared to 6.8 million last year.  The 2021 number was an all-time low, so the organizers are probably relieved that the show got a bump this year.  Probably had a lot to do with the hosts…Eli Manning and Luke Bryan…maybe…

Goin to Vegas next summer for vacation?  Win big money and see Garth Brooks too!!  The Las Vegas Review-Journal says Garth Brooks is going to do a Las Vegas residency. The shows at the Colosseum at Caesars Palace will take place in May, June, July, November and December of 2023.

The List for Thursday, March 19th 2026

Welcome to The List…

Hollywood’s biggest fear is officially here. Dead actors… still booking roles. A new movie is using A.I. to bring Val Kilmer back. Yeah. From the grave… straight to the premiere. The director says Val wanted this. His family signed off too. Which is great… until your Netflix suggestions start haunting you. Somewhere an Oscar just felt uncomfortable.

-----

Tom Brady says he wears a disguise to his kids’ games. Not kidding. Hoodie. Hat. Full undercover quarterback mode. Apparently the kids don’t want attention on them because… you know… their dad is TOM BRADY. Imagine trying to sneak into a gym when you’re built like a superhero statue. Sir… we still know it’s you.

-----

Rumor is Keith Urban might be going through a midlife crisis after the split. Sources say he wants to live the single life again. Totally different person now. Which honestly just sounds like every guy who suddenly discovers energy drinks and fitted jeans. Next step is obvious. Corvette. New Balance. Bluetooth headset.

-----

Kenny Chesney just launched his own record label. Big move. Real boss energy. It’s named after his boat… because of course it is. And the first artist he signed…drumroll… Kenny Chesney. Man skipped the middleman and hired himself. HR meeting must be real smooth.

The List for Wednesday, March 18th 2026

Welcome to The List,

Today we start with Wedding bells or preseason whistles. That’s the Taylor Swift Travis Kelce dilemma today. A source claims the couple may marry before NFL preseason kicks off. Apparently, they’re confident babies and blitz packages can peacefully coexist.

Because nothing screams romance like scheduling vows around training camp.

Love finds a way. Even through football drills.

-----

Hollywood’s favorite Spider couple might be spinning a new web. Sources say Zendaya and Tom Holland want a baby in 2026. They reportedly care more about family life than blockbuster fame. Meanwhile fans are just hoping their kid gets both accents. Tiny superhero incoming. Diapers with dramatic flair.

-----

Luke Combs just crushed every stylist’s wildest country fantasy. He told GQ you’ll never see him wearing a unitard on stage. He says he’ll stay himself. Hat, boots, and relatable dad vibes. How or WHY that question got brought up is a mystery…Then he pitched country stars for the Super Bowl halftime show. No spandex. Yes steel guitars. America wins.

-----

Country music meets coconut water survival tactics tonight. Zac Brown appears on Survivor for the reward challenge. He’s bringing legit spearfishing skills to impress hungry contestants. Because if you’re a country star you should be able to catch dinner barefoot. Vote him off? That seems deeply unwise.
