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.

Welcome to The List,
Taylor Swift has officially entered her glittery legal era again. A Las Vegas performer says Taylor’s use of “The Life Of A Showgirl” is stomping all over her own brand, “Confessions of a Showgirl.” She’s suing for trademark infringement, wants damages, and an injunction too.

Only Kid Rock could turn a poolside salute into a military investigation. The Army says two Blackhawk helicopters near his Tennessee mansion were just on a Nashville training route, but now they’re checking into why they hovered there. Kid says nobody’s getting in trouble and called it pretty neat. Nothing says casual Tuesday like cannonballs, patriotism, and two black helicopters hovering near your house…

Riley Green is stacking side quests like a pro. He’s making his TV debut on Marshals in mid-April. And because sleep is for other people, he’s also reportedly opening a second Duck Blind bar in Gatlinburg. At this point Riley’s building a country music cinematic universe.

Thomas Rhett says one of his favorite parts of touring is trying wild new foods on the road, which sounds adventurous and expensive. Meanwhile Dylan Scott keeps it a little more backyard chaos at home, admitting he’ll wander into the kitchen at midnight and cook a full meal like it’s noon. His wife wakes up confused; he’s making dinner round two. That’s not a snack, that’s a second shift.
