The List for Wednesday, May 21st 2025

Welcome to The List,

George Wendt, the beloved actor known for playing Norm Peterson on Cheers, has passed away at the age of 76. Wendt’s publicist confirmed the news, stating that he died peacefully in his sleep at home. Fans of the TV show ‘’Cheers’’ descended upon the Bull and Finch Pub in Boston yesterday to honor George.  The sitcom was based on the pub. Fans drank a beer in honor of George’s character Norm.

Jennifer Lopez is getting sued by paparazzi… for posting photos of herself. That’s right—J.Lo threw some pics on Instagram from a Golden Globes pre-party, and now a photo agency is crying, “Copyright!” They claim she used the pics for self-promo without permission. Her team? Silent so far. So remember, folks: If you’re famous, you can be sued for using your own face. Cool world.

Jelly Roll is out here living all our wildest dreams—because he just brought out Eminem in Detroit! It happened during Post Malone’s Big [Butt] World Tour. Jelly was hyping the crowd with “Lose Yourself,” and BOOM—Slim Shady pops out from behind the curtain. Crowd lost their minds, Jelly lost his mind, and called it the best night of his life.

Morgan Wallen might’ve thrown some country boy shade with his new track “I’m a Little Crazy.” The lyric? “I’m a coyote in a field of wolves.” Ooooh. When asked, Morgan didn’t hold back: “I know I wasn’t invited, but I’m still eatin’ and I’m still fed.” Translation: Keep your awards—I’ve got fans, money, and a mic.

The List for Thursday, June 12th 2025

Welcome to The List,

Roseanne Barr says they asked her to come back to The Conners... as a ghost. She told Female First, “You killed me off, stole my show, and NOW you want me back ‘cause your ratings are in the toilet?” Her official response? “I’ll be busy… bowling.” Translation: hard pass, Casper.

Jason Aldean’s wife Brittany just lived out every Southern girl’s nightmare. She posted a video of a snake just chillin’ at their front door like it was there to sell cookies. You hear her go, “This is what nightmares are made of!” No ma’am. That’s what FLAMETHROWERS are made for.

-----

If you're a Stranger Things junkie and haven’t emotionally recovered from Season 4 yet, good news! A new animated spinoff called Tales from '85 is coming next year. It fills in the winter gap between Seasons 2 and 3. Same Hawkins weirdness—just now with cartoons and probably fewer nosebleeds.

-----

Wanna drink where the country stars pretend to be regular people? The top-rated bars are in! We got Old Dominion’s Odie’s, Luke Combs’ Category 10—which sounds like a hurricane and a hangover—and of course Blake Shelton’s Ole Red. Honky tonk? More like honky bougie.
