The List for Tuesday, October 10th 2023

Welcome to The List,

70’s “The Hulk” star Lou Ferrigno’s wife is divorcing him and accusing him of trying to trap her in the marriage so he can control their assets.  She’s been diagnosed with dementia, and she says he’s trying to establish a conservatorship against her will. Carla his wife is 74 years old.  Lou is 71.  They’ve been married 43 years. Hate to see it happen…

Been a while since we’ve giggled about a country star wardrobe malfunction.  Luke Bryan was performing with his zipper down for a good part of the show last week in Orlando, Florida. He was singing “That’s My Kind of Night” when someone in the crowd finally let him know.  He stopped singing, zipped it up . . . and then put his hands on his hips like he was disgusted with EVERYONE. He thanked the person who told him, and then ripped into the rest of the crowd, saying, quote, “Why didn’t none of you tell me?”

Speaking of Luke Bryan…The CMA Awards released a HI-larious promotional video of Luke Bryan and Peyton Manning choosing to host this year’s show, instead of riding off into the sunset.  (People.com has the video.  The show airs November 8th.)

Garth Brooks’ new Friends in Low Places Bar and Honky-Tonk in Nashville will open on November 24th, which is Black Friday.  And it’s going to be a big deal.  Garth just announced that he’ll perform at the opening . . . similar to his previous “dive bar” shows.  It’s unclear if any other artists will join him.  (Or if Chris Gaines will be on-hand to tend the bar.)

E! News says Vanna White thinks Pat Sajak’s daughter, Maggie Sajak, could be a good replacement for her on ‘’Wheel of Fortune’’. Pat is retiring as host after 40 years. Vanna believes Maggie, who is the show’s social media correspondent, has learned a lot from her father and can handle the job when the time is right.

The International News says Kansas City Chiefs No. 87 Tight End Travis Kelce, says he eats French Toast before games. He says the toast raises his blood sugar level and provides carbs for energy.  The breakfast treat has been a constant in Kelce’s pre-game routine for years.

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.
