The List for Wednesday, April 27th 2022

Welcome to The List,

Cary Elwes from “The Princess Bride” had to be airlifted to the hospital after getting bitten on the finger by a rattlesnake on Saturday.  He’s recovering well and commented “Bit not by a R.O.U.S. but a rattlesnake.   An R.O.U.S. is a creature from “Princess Bride”.  It stands for Rodents of Unusual Size.

 —–

A video of Darius Rucker shouting “[eff] Tennessee” has gone viral.  It was during a free concert on Sunday that honored the University of South Carolina women’s basketball team.  During his performance of “Wagon Wheel”  Instead of singing “from the Cumberland Gap to Johnson City, Tennessee” . . . they all belted out “from the Cumberland Gap to [Eff], Tennessee.”

Director James Gunn went to bat for Chris Pratt on Twitter when a bunch of people randomly called for Chris Pratt’s Star-Lord character from “Guardians of the Galaxy” to be recast.  Well, director James Gunn wasn’t having any of it.  James replied, “For what?  Because of your made-up, utterly-false beliefs about him?  For something that someone else told you about him that’s not true?  Chris would never be replaced as Star-Lord but, if he ever was, we would all be going with him.”

The Santa Fe County Sheriff’s Department has released police bodycam footage of the moments following the shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the set of Rust.  Search warrants later revealed that the film’s armorer, Hannah Gutierrez Reed, loaded the Colt .45 believing a real bullet was a dummy round. She then handed the weapon to first assistant director who skipped the customary safety run-through.

Strong will and determination to make it…that’s what it takes.  Just ask Luke Bryan about long hard days….  In an interview on Apple Music Country, Luke talked about working at his dad’s peanut mill after college.  They were 15-hour days that left him so wrung out it felt like he’d been in a gang fight.  And yet, he still played concerts on the weekends with his lungs full of peanut dust….

The Verge says famed director JJ Abrams is teaming with Warner Brothers for a new live action Hot Wheels movie. Plot details are being kept a secret

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.
