The List for Wednesday, May 25th 2022

Welcome to The List,

Time Magazine is out with their top 100 most influential people of 2022 But, Keanu Reeves is the “World’s Nicest Man” at least that’s what his Matrix co-star Carrie-Anne Moss writes “In this often unkind and shallow world, my friend Keanu gives others hope. The actions of this handsome, talented, successful, and fiercely committed actor have become a reprieve from the constant disappointment we have for those who get put on a pedestal.”

Blake Shelton got a phone call from Jimmie Johnson, it looks like Jimmie wants Blake to help design his Indy 500 Helmet “He goes, I want you to design my helmet.  Your punkin me right now, ok I get it. First of all, what an honor  especially with the American Legion involved and it’s his first Indy 500.  There’s so much that this helmet represents to me and Jimmie Johnson’s carrier.” Blakes father and brother both served in the military.  The helmet will pay tribute to the  American Legion and military.  The Indianapolis 500 airs on ABC on Sunday.

Ewan McGregor is back as Obi-Wan Kenobi!!  But it was hard keeping the secret.  “They want to keep everything a secret, The longer that can keep until they announce it the better I guess for them.  For a long time people were asking if I would play Obi-Wan again, I had to go ‘well you know if Disney wanted to do something, I’d be happy to do it and it was years of that.” Obi-Wan Kenobi’ premieres on Disney + on Friday.

 —–

Justin Moore has great respect for the men and women who serve “The thing that always kind of gets me is, no matter whether it be in a meet and greet or at the supermarket or whatever, when people come up to me who have served or currently serve, they always come up and thank me for our music. And I’m just kind of taken aback because I’m going, ‘No, no, no, no, we don’t do anything. You guys are the ones who should be thanked.’ Anytime we have the opportunity, we try to wave the flag for those men and women.”

Talk about buyers remorse….Carrie Underwood tells Glamour magazine that she once purchased a sweatshirt, which she ended up only wearing twice Saying “My first stupid purchase was an accident. I was in Paris and went into one of those big, name-brand, fancy-schmancy designers, and I picked up a sweatshirt. But when I went to check out, that sucker was $2,000.”…OUCH!

The List for Friday, July 11th 2025

Welcome to The List,

It’s been 40 years since Live Aid rocked the world—literally. Back on July 13, 1985, Wembley and JFK Stadiums tag-teamed a global concert watched by nearly 2 billion people. And now? CNN’s dropping a 4-part doc, and the UK is throwing it a full-blown birthday party. That’s right—Live Aid’s old enough to complain about back pain now!

-----

Ozzy Osbourne has officially hung up the bat wings. His last-ever concert—"Back to the Beginning"—went down July 5th in Birmingham with Black Sabbath and a parade of metal legends. It was epic, emotional, and charitable! When he sang “Mama I’m Coming Home,” even the devils in the mosh pit teared up.

-----

Jelly Roll clapped back HARD at people calling his wife a gold digger. He said, "She was a high-end escort when I met her—I was the broke one living in a van!" And honestly? The man married up! So maybe stop judging and start taking notes, huh?

-----

Parker McCollum was asked the most country thing he’s ever done… and buckle up: He said, “Rode a horse bareback. Naked. In Crocs.” I—what?! That is peak country chaos right there. And no, there are no plans for a repeat performance. His words, not mine.
