The List for Wednesday, January 25th 2023

Welcome to The List,

Comedian Kevin Hart is going on tour and his demands are very specific in his contract rider.  It was posted online yesterday, and it covers 46 pages of specific things he needs and wants.  Some of those things include. Listerine mouth wash, floss sticks, a 25-ounce container of Vaseline lip therapy in the “Original flavor,” four “Man scented candles” for the star’s dressing room and bathroom. and a very specific stool for on stage. The stool is SO specific they give the Amazon link where it can be purchased and add  quote, “substitutions will not be accepted.”…What is a ‘man scented” candle?  I bet it smells like what The Rock is cookin…

Blake Shelton would like “The Voice” to GIVE him the chair he’s been sitting in all these years . . . as a retirement present.  And if they’re not open to the idea, he’s willing to buy it.  He wants to put it in the house he build with the money he got from the show.  How much do you think something like that would cost?

Everyone wants to be a superhero now…Golden State Warriors guard Steph Curry thinks he should be cast in the next ‘Black Panther” movie.  He even tells them that he wants them to shoot in the Summer. And Richard Gere tells Comic Book Movie magazine that he’s open to playing a superhero. Saying if there’s something quirky and unexpected and it doesn’t just end up with a big fight at the end of the movie – which they all do – it might be of interest to me, sure!”

Do you watch TV before bed?  The numbers are out and they show most of us watch Family Guy, American Dad and Bob’s Burgers before shut eye.  Others making that list include Basketball, Modern Family and Baseball which seem to ME to be the ones that would put you to sleep the fastest.

Carly Pearce loves to run, but back during quarantine, she got a lot of walking in because of a very unlikely walking companion. Her cat Emmylou. “I found her in quarantine when I was staying with my parents in Alabama, she likes to be walked. And about 3 o’clock every day she would literally like, look at the door, like, ‘Are you gonna walk me?’ And she’s huge. She’s so fat. Her fat hangs to the ground. And I would take her and put her on a leash, and she would just walk down the road, and wanted to walk.”  Carly has been spending most of her time in Nashville lately, working on her next album and rehearsing to hit the road with Blake Shelton on his Back to the Honky Tonk Tour, which kicks off February 16th.

Country music WILL be represented at this year’s Super Bowl.  Chris Stapleton is going to perform the National Anthem.  The game starts at 6:30 p.m. Eastern, so tune in a little early to make sure you don’t miss it.

The List for Wednesday, April 1st 2026

Welcome to The List,

Meghan Markle allegedly thought she could jump the royal line. A new book claims she believed she should be queen next. Said she was smarter, better, and worked harder than Kate. That’s not confidence, that’s skipping the entire family tree.

-----

Two Blackhawk helicopters hovering over Kid Rock’s house raised eyebrows fast. Army pilots got suspended while the investigation played out. Then the Defense Secretary stepped in and shut it down. Suspensions lifted, no punishment, case closed just like that.

-----

Keith Urban might be ready to say a little more. A report claims he felt iced out of Nicole Kidman’s interview. She talked family and life but didn’t mention him once. Now there’s talk he could finally tell his side. Nothing says romance like a possible press tour response.

-----

And if you saw Jason Aldean storm off Colbert… relax. That viral story is completely made up from top to bottom. Wrong show name, bad details, zero credible sources behind it. The internet really said “let’s just create chaos today.” Moral of the story, not everything trending is actually true…I know…surprise right??
