The List for Wednesday, October 19th 2022

Welcome to The List,

Kane Brown is a huge rock fan and wants to do a collaboration.  He says, “When I say rock, I mean Slipknot, I mean, I’m a Green Day fan too, but I’m a workout fiend so, like, heavy . . . Slipknot, Korn, crazy stuff.”  But don’t worry, he said he could never leave country because metal just isn’t his brand.

The “Charlie Brown” Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas specials will be exclusive to Apple TV+ again this year.  But there will be a brief window where non-subscribers can stream them for free..

—–

Matt Smith’s “House of the Dragon” character, Daemon Targaryen, is getting a lot of romantic attention from fans, even though his morals are a little sketchy.  And one of the producers thinks that might not last because, quote, “We will see a different side of him.”

The NFL found a day where there was no football, and they remedied that situation….Beginning next year, there will be a game on Black Friday . . . the day after Thanksgiving . . . on Amazon Prime. That’s good for Amazon, since “Thursday Night Football” doesn’t happen on Thanksgiving.  CBS and Fox have a lock on Turkey Day games.  So Amazon still gets to participate over Thanksgiving weekend . . . which, as a bonus, is also the kickoff to the holiday shopping season.

CMT’s “Hot 20 Countdown” had country stars ask questions of each other.  Cody Johnson asked Luke Combs how fatherhood is going, “Being a dad’s awesome.  It’s super fun.  It can be stressful at times, but a lot more good than bad, for sure.  It’s been really fun.” Luke’s son Tex is four months old today.  He was born on Father’s Day.

The NY Post says Johnny Depp’s Jack Sparrow outfit from the “Pirates of the Caribbean” movies is one of this year’s hottest Halloween costumes. The costume has seen a 90% increase in sales since Depp won his defamation trial against Amber Heard. High quality replicas of the costume sell for as much as $399.

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.
