Welcome to The List,
As usual, Super Bowl ads are being either teased, or fully revealed online before the game. Which really kills the surprise on game day, but that’s where we are now, and it doesn’t seem like it’s going to change. So, here are the latest reveals: Edie Falco did an anti-dairy ad for PETA. Kate McKinnon and Pete Davidson appear in a Hellmann’s mayonnaise ad that pokes fun at Pete’s dating history. David and Victoria Beckham are pretty funny in a teaser for their Uber Eats ad. “Jessica” Aniston is going to be in it, too.

Luke Combs’ new Nashville bar opens later this year, and now it’s got a name. He’s partnering with Opry Entertainment Group on it. They’re calling it “Category 10“, inspired by his first #1 hit, “Hurricane”. It’ll be in the same space as the old Wildhorse Saloon that just closed down this month. They’re planning to open it in stages. First this summer, and then fully open by the end of the year.

Do you remember who played the part of Marty McFly in the movie "Back To The Future"?
Welcome to The List,
Eric Dane, best known as McSteamy on Grey’s Anatomy, has passed away at 53 after battling ALS. He first revealed his diagnosis last April, but symptoms began earlier in 2024. His family says he spent his final days surrounded by his wife, daughters, and close friends, and he used his fight to raise awareness for ALS research.

William Shatner is officially going metal…because apparently retirement is for people without a spaceship. The 94 year old icon is releasing a heavy metal album featuring covers of Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, and Judas Priest, plus original songs with 35 metal legends. He says metal is where imagination gets loud, which explains a lot about Captain Kirk. There’s nothing more metal than a man eligible for social security since Nixon.

Jelly Roll is officially becoming a member of the Grand Ole Opry on March 10th, and Lainey Wilson will be there to welcome him in. He first found out back in December when Craig Morgan surprised him with the invitation, and now Craig will perform at the induction too. It’s one of country music’s highest honors, and proof that redemption stories hit harder than any guitar solo.

Kane Brown is the latest country star to plant his flag on Broadway in Nashville with his own entertainment venue. Kane Brown’s on Broadway will feature a full restaurant, bar, and live music, which basically guarantees fans will spend money while singing his songs badly. Every country star gets a bar eventually, it’s practically a rite of passage. At this point, Nashville Broadway is less a street and more a country music theme park.
