The List for Wednesday, May 24th 2023

Welcome to The List,

It’s pretty obvious that Jamie Foxx and his family don’t want to talk about his recent health issue yet.  But that’s not stopping Mike Tyson In a recent podcast interview, Mike said, quote, “He’s not feeling well.  They said a stroke.”  He didn’t say who told him that, and he doesn’t sound 100% sure, because he added, “I have no idea what happened to him, If we don’t know about it by now, they don’t want us to know.” Which kinda sounds like Mike’s brain went “oops, shouldn’t have said that”.

Jordan Davis says Memorial Day hits close to home for him because both of his grandparents served, and so did a cousin. “I mean I can’t say enough about ‘em. We live in the best country in the world, and it’s because of those guys and because of the people that came before ‘em”.

Last night was Blake Shelton’s LAST night on The Voice, and he went out with a bang…He later posted a love letter to “The Voice” on Instagram, and said, “Can’t believe it’s been 23 seasons . . . it’s bittersweet . . . I’ve made lifelong friends and memories . . . Thank you to everyone.”  If you missed the season finale last night, It was a walk down memory lane with every team Blake winner from the last 23 seasons showing up to send him off…and yes, he GOT to keep his chair.

Katy Perry has been getting some bad press this season for supposedly being the MEAN JUDGE on “American Idol”.  And now she’s considering quitting the show.  Katy has been on the show for six seasons, and she actually got BOOED earlier this year for critiquing one contestant’s outfits.  She was also dragged online for slut-shaming a 25-year-old female contestant who had three kids.

Dierks Bentley, whose own father was a World War II veteran, talks about the sacrifices made by U.S. servicemen and women… “I think, for me on the road, I just think about being gone two, three days at a time, maybe a couple of weeks at a time, you know. That seems like a long time when you have kids and family, but these soldiers, they’re gone for months and years at a time – they’re doing 12 to 15 to 18 months — and they have family back home. That, in itself, is such a huge sacrifice, and that’s just the beginning of it. That’s just scratching the surface of what these guys [and gals] are doing every day.”

And finally, yesterday we reported Vin Diesel has some Fast and Furious spinoffs in his head…well don’t count on Michelle Rodriguez to have any part of them. She Variety magazine that she has no plans to star in any of the upcoming Fast and the Furious female spin-offs. “You pass the baton on. You take the back seat. You go passenger side. When it [be]comes the next generation, you have to. It’s the only way to let them define the future.”
