The List for Wednesday, July 19th 2023

Welcome to The List,

Yesterday we reported that Miranda Lambert stopped her show in Vegas and scolded fans for taking selfies. Well, the woman has come forward, and she’s NOT apologizing.  they just wanted to have a good picture, because they “had the best seats in the house. It was 30 seconds at most.  We took the picture quickly and were going to sit back down” She didn’t like how Miranda made it seem like she and her friends were “young, immature, and vain.” They would have taken the pictures before the show, but the lighting wasn’t good…sounds a little vain to me…

Lately it seems like these breakup rumors have been coming true more often than not, so maybe it’s best we don’t ignore this one: The not-always-reliable Radar Online says that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are having issues, and they’re taking some time apart to figure things out.  Harry doesn’t fit in Meghan’s tacky Tinseltown world,” and he needs to “find himself.”

Blake Shelton will present Toby Keith with the Country Icon Award at the first-ever “People’s Choice Country Awards”.  He’ll be recognized for his 30-year career.  It airs live from the Grand Ole Opry on September 28th on NBC. In other Toby news, he stopped by a recent LoCash show in Orlando and joined them on stage for a cover of “Johnny B. Goode”.

If you didn’t get to go to CMA Fest this year in Nashville…well, they’re bringing the music event of the summer to you!! We asked Dierks what it’s like hosting. “Hosting the CMA Fest is the ultimate gig. It’s so fun. I mean, I’ve hosted some big awards show as well and those are great too, but this is a four-day festival, so I get to be there for four days.  It’s the greatest fans to play in front of, BUT I get to co-host this with two of the funniest people I know – Elle King and Lainey Wilson.” CMA Fest airs tonight at 7pm on ABC.

If you received your first Hollywood paycheck, what would you buy? A list of what some actors bought with their first Hollywood paycheck includes Oprah Winfrey buying fluffy Ralph Lauren towels, Tom Cruise paying for college tuition for one sister and a car for the other. Sylvester Stallone:  bought back his dog Butkus, whom he previously sold off when he was desperate for money.  Butkus ended up co-staring with him in the first two “Rocky” movies. Joe Keery from “Stranger Things”:  He went home to Chicago and bought a Chicago hot dog.

Did the new “Snow White” and “Wonka” movies give little people the shaft? At least that’s the opinion of one little person who says roles for people in his community are drying up.  Dylan Postl . . . who was also known as Hornswoggle in the WWE for many years . . . says “progressive” policies are the reason the dwarfs in “Snow White” are no longer dwarfs . . .And Hugh Grant is the Oompa Loompa in the upcoming “Wonka” movie.  Dylan says, quote, “These are roles made for actors of my stature . . . I can’t go for the Harrison Ford or the George Clooney roles.  He has a point.

The List for Friday, December 12th 2025

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.

-----

The lineup is out for New Year’s Eve Live: Nashville’s Big Bash and it is stacked. Lainey Wilson, Zach Top, Riley Green, Megan Moroney, and a whole parade of country hitmakers are ringing in the new year. So if you’re staying home on New Year’s Eve, congratulations Nashville already planned your soundtrack.

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.
