Welcome to The List,
Here’s someone we haven’t heard from in a while…Gene Hackman!! He hasn’t worked in almost 20 years, and he’s rarely seen in public. But he’s still the BA he’s always been. Someone snapped pictures of Gene . . . who’s 93 years old . . . doing yard work at his ranch in Santa Fe, New Mexico. But first, he went on a Wendy’s run and chowed down on a chicken sandwich and a Coke.

CMT’s “Hot 20 Countdown” asked a bunch of country stars to name the weirdest thing fans have thrown at them on stage. Thomas Rhett said a packet of breast milk . . . Jelly Roll said men’s tighty-whities . . . and Hardy said a prosthetic leg, then he drank a BEER out of it.

How fired up can one get after a screening of a movie…well, “Creed III” is the number one movie at the box office right now…The Daily Mail says a couple ladies took it to another level…after a screening in France….They started boxing each other!!! Some theatergoers crowded around them while others ran for the exit. No word on what sparked the brawl. The fight was quickly broken up.

Ireland Baldwin’s baby shower went down over the weekend . . . at a strip club. Ireland’s 69-year-old mother Kim Basinger was there…if you’re wondering no cinematographers were harmed….

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.
