Welcome to The List,
This year marks the 100th anniversary of the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. The first character balloon in 1927 was Felix the Cat, and the character to make the most appearances is Snoopy, with over 40. This year’s parade is scheduled to begin at 8:30 A.M. Eastern tomorrow morning, on NBC as usual, along with streams on Peacock and Fubo. Savannah Guthrie, Hoda Kotb, and Al Roker of the “Today” show will return as hosts.

Welcome to The List,
So apparently, Sharon Osbourne wants to plant Ozzy in their English garden like a gothic tomato. A source says she might not be up for a huge public memorial just a quiet little backyard funeral. You know, next to the begonias and BBQ pit. Honestly, the man was the Prince of Darkness… seems fitting.

Carrie Underwood’s eyeballing a return to American Idol AND trying to break into acting. Apparently, she’s got a taste for the Hollywood life now. Next stop: romantic comedies, action flicks, maybe a gritty cop drama. Carrie, blink twice if Ryan Seacrest is holding you hostage.

‘Reacher’ star Alan Ritchson might be our next Batman! Director James Gunn says he’s a big fan, which is Hollywood speak for “we already bought the suit.” I mean, sure… he’s got the chin for it…and the attitude….the size…ok, I can see it…
