Welcome to The List,
Meeting our idols, it’s on a bucket list somewhere…what if you got to MEET a celebrity that you had a crush on when you were a kid? How would you handle it? Dustin Lynch recalls the first time he met HIS childhood crush Reba McEntire “First time meeting Reba, see saw me I didn’t actually see her. She was rehearsing for an award show and I hear Reba McEntire’s voice screaming my name. She comes running down from the catwalk and the stage and bends down and gives me a hug in the middle of her soundcheck. If I wasn’t in love enough…that was just awesome”

Welcome to The List,
Diddy is allegedly gearing up for a one-billion-dollar legal smackdown against Netflix over the docuseries Sean Combs: The Reckoning. His camp says there’s unauthorized personal footage in the series. The director fired back saying the footage came to them legally, with full rights, and added that Diddy has basically filmed himself obsessively for decades. She also says they repeatedly asked his legal team for comment and heard… nothing. I’ve watched it and let’s just say, this lawsuit is gonna need popcorn. We with him all the luck.

Lainey Wilson and Devlin Hodges are reportedly planning a big, expensive wedding and sources say Lainey wants the best of the best. Here’s the twist: neither one of them is swimming in mega-millions. But Lainey loves everyone, considers everyone a friend, and apparently invited half of Nashville. Rumored guests include Dolly, Blake and Gwen, Luke Bryan, Jelly Roll, Morgan Wallen, and more. At this point, it’s less a wedding and more a CMA after-party with vows.

And finally… when Leslie Nielsen died, he went out exactly how you’d expect. A fart machine was placed in his casket and anyone walking up to the bar at his funeral could push a button and make him fart. Even in death, the man committed to the bit. That’s not just comedy… that’s legacy planning.
