Welcome to The List –
Tom Cruise lost it on set of the “Mission Impossible 7” movie for breaking COVID-19 protocols during shooting in London and was caught on tape shouting that they’d be gone” if he found other lapses again. Tom: ”We are the gold standard! They’re back there in Hollywood making movies right now because of us! Because they believe in us and what we’re doing! I’m on the phone with every studio at night! Insurance companies! Producers! And they’re looking at us and using us to make their movies. I don’t ever want to see it again! Ever! And if you don’t do it, you’re fired! If I see you do it again, you’re gone.” The incident took place after Cruise saw two crew members failing to social distance at a computer screen on set.
Gwen Stefani tells Kelly Clarkson how Blake proposed to her. “My son was sitting by this fireplace, and Blake basically was getting down on his knees to start a fire and he says ‘Hey could you look in that cabinet over there and get me a fire starter.’ So, I opened the cabinet and there was a ring in a box, and I was like aaah! What!? are you serious!?”

Parker McCollum On His Favorite Childhood Xmas Gift… “It would be a Browning 270 Deer rifle I got when I was 13? So, I wanted it so bad, and I’d always had to use my older brothers’ or my Dad’s gun, you know? They wouldn’t even let me shoot anything then. So, I was probably 11 or 12 years old and a Browning 270 Deer rifle…bad son of a gun.”
Jimmy Fallon talks about people in New Jersey getting the coronavirus vaccine. “Well guys everyone is excited about the new COVID vaccine, and today New Jersey started giving out it’s first doses. People in Jersey were separated into two groups, blood type AAAAY and blood type OOOOH!”

Welcome to The List,
Country star Cole Swindell just admitted something we can ALL relate to—he used to hate the sound of his own voice. In a recent interview, he said, “Nobody really likes hearing themselves talk.” Well, Cole, join the club. If you've ever cringed at your own voicemail or nearly thrown your phone across the room after hearing yourself in a video, you get it. Luckily for Cole, he powered through the awkwardness and now has multiple hit songs. The rest of us? Still avoiding voice memos at all costs.

Kelsea Ballerini fans are dedicated—but one took it to the next level at her recent concert in Salt Lake City. The fan asked her to sign his actual divorce decree, thanking her for helping him through his breakup. Ballerini politely declined (probably a smart legal move), but the interaction quickly went viral. The real question is: Was his ex there, and did she demand joint custody of the concert tickets?

Kelly Clarkson is reportedly considering leaving The Kelly Clarkson Show to take over for Hoda Kotb on The Today Show. Why? Because talk show hosting is exhausting, and she wants more time with her kids. Honestly, fair. Running a daily talk show is like throwing a dinner party every single day—but with celebrity guests and an audience judging your every move. An NBC insider says the switch is a real possibility, meaning morning TV could soon have more Kelly and possibly… fewer impromptu Hoda dance breaks?

A new Netflix rom-com is doing the unthinkable—convincing people to make major life decisions. The Life List, starring Sofia Carson, follows a woman completing her late mother’s bucket list, and apparently, it’s inspiring real-life viewers to dump their toxic partners and quit their terrible jobs. So if you see a co-worker watching it on their lunch break, brace yourself—they might be handing in their two weeks’ notice by the end of the day.

People magazine says Val Kilmer, known for Top Gun, has passed away at 65 from pneumonia. The actor had battled throat cancer. Kilmer leaves behind his daughter, Mercedes, and son, Jack.

Welcome to The List,
CMA Fest is back, taking over Nashville from June 5-8 with ten stages, surprise collaborations, and country music’s biggest stars. Or, as locals call it, four days of honky-tonk traffic jams—but hey, at least the soundtrack’s good!

Parker McCollum just shook up RODEOHOUSTON by announcing his most personal album yet, dropping June 27. Meanwhile, Luke Combs hinted on Instagram about new music. Country fans, prepare yourselves—your playlists are about to get real emotional, real fast.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are reportedly "practicing for parenthood" by getting a puppy together. Because, as we all know, babies and dogs are basically the same—minus the teething, tantrums, and college tuition. Solid plan, guys!
-----
John Cena is retiring… kinda. The guy whose motto is "Never Give Up" is, well… giving up wrestling—but let’s be real, he’s probably just suplexing into another career. He’s calling it “closing a chapter,” but knowing Cena, that book’s getting a sequel. Meanwhile, catch WrestleMania 41 in Vegas, April 19th and 20th, streaming on Peacock!
