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.”

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….

Welcome to The List,
It’s been 40 years since Live Aid rocked the world—literally. Back on July 13, 1985, Wembley and JFK Stadiums tag-teamed a global concert watched by nearly 2 billion people. And now? CNN’s dropping a 4-part doc, and the UK is throwing it a full-blown birthday party. That’s right—Live Aid’s old enough to complain about back pain now!

Ozzy Osbourne has officially hung up the bat wings. His last-ever concert—"Back to the Beginning"—went down July 5th in Birmingham with Black Sabbath and a parade of metal legends. It was epic, emotional, and charitable! When he sang “Mama I’m Coming Home,” even the devils in the mosh pit teared up.

Jelly Roll clapped back HARD at people calling his wife a gold digger. He said, "She was a high-end escort when I met her—I was the broke one living in a van!" And honestly? The man married up! So maybe stop judging and start taking notes, huh?

Parker McCollum was asked the most country thing he’s ever done… and buckle up: He said, “Rode a horse bareback. Naked. In Crocs.” I—what?! That is peak country chaos right there. And no, there are no plans for a repeat performance. His words, not mine.
