Welcome to The List –
Many of us have tried to stay active during the pandemic Florida Georgia Line’s Brian Kelley has too… “I was throwing baseball, getting my arm in shape for a while there. And I still throw here and there, but I was getting pretty serious on it. working in the yard, and just doing everything under the sun in between doing FGL stuff, Trying to stay physically healthy too, and bike rides, trail rides and all that stuff.” Sounds like he has a handle on it, I’ve been stayin in shape I think…round IS a shape right?
Rascal Flatts’ Jay DeMarcus says the band has had a real impact on the lives of some of their fans. “It was wonderful to see the outpouring of love for our music and what we’ve meant to their lives. And that’s been one of the great things about this band, I think, is we’ve always been able to find songs that really do resonate and last throughout the changing times.” Who hasn’t been to a graduation that they played ‘My Wish’ or a wedding that played ‘Broken Road’
Mark Wahlberg will turn 50 this June. He says he’s looking forward to partying with his family and friends. “You know it is a big one, I can’t believe I’m turning 50 but sometimes because of the grind and everything I passed 50 along time ago.” Even at 50 Mark still gets up at 2 am to workout in his gym, and support his like of health products that you see in HyVee.
a Superman comic recently sold for $3.25 million. The comic was published in 1938 and explains how Superman came to Earth from another planet. The previous record for a comic sale was $ 3.2 million.

Welcome to The List,
I did not know this, but Tom Cruise was almost cast as Jack Dawson in Titanic. Yes… imagine Jack sprinting across the bow yelling, “I’M THE KING OF THE WORLD!” Tom was 35 at the time, Jack was supposed to be 20, and apparently the salary demands, scheduling conflicts, and the lack of running scenes threw everything off. River Phoenix, Matthew McConaughey, and Jared Leto were also considered. But producers said Leo was the perfect fit. Cruise could have brought star power… but DiCaprio brought teenage hysteria and record-breaking box office. The more you know.

File this under “early-2000s fever dream”: Paris Hilton hosted a private birthday dinner for Britney Spears in Mexico. Candles, balloons, colorful banners the whole Y2K nostalgia starter pack. Britney’s gifts came in hot pink boxes, obviously. But RadarOnline says Brit injured herself on the trip after “doing a flip off a boat.” Now a family member is worried, saying her behavior is “disturbing,” but there’s only so much anyone can do since she’s, quote, “a grown woman.” The 90s are back… and they’re still chaotic.

Zac Brown apparently scared the cowboy boots off fans at his Las Vegas Sphere show. Some concert-goers were floored by the visuals giant skeletons, fiery imagery, the whole metal-album-cover experience. Responses ranged from “incredible!” to “Sir… WRONG audience.” One fan said, “Do you even know who your audience is?” Not sure Zac was trying to summon demons…

Kenny Chesney found out he’s the seventh most popular touring act of the entire millennium over 18 million tickets sold since 2001. His reaction? “I was shocked.” Shocked? Kenny, you sell more stadium seats than the NFL. The kid from East Tennessee is basically the mayor of summer now. Sunburns everywhere are celebrating.
