Welcome to The List,
Actor Cuba Gooding Jr. pleaded guilty Wednesday to forcibly kissing a worker at a New York nightclub in 2018 in a deal that is likely to keep him out of jail. Gooding also publicly apologized for the first time to two other women who accused him of similar behavior in separate encounters, calling himself a “celebrity figure” who meant no harm. His admissions were part of a plea deal that came nearly three years after the Oscar-winning “Jerry Maguire” star was arrested in the case that saw several delays as his lawyers sought to get charges reduced or dismissed.

Walker Hayes tells ABC that his wife is the most important thing in his life. “Everywhere I go, my family goes with me. Every heartbreak I’ve ever endured, Laney, my wife, has felt it equally. When I read that moment that we had been nominated for a Grammy… that wasn’t a nomination for just me. In a very humble way, she would say she’s not surprised. And all this time I thought he was trying to stay out of AA….

Cruising Tik Toc last night I came across a disturbing video.. Kevin Bacon was singing to his goats. Not just ONE but SEVERAL!! He sings The Backstreet Boys’ Song ‘I Want It That Way’. What is it exactly that he WANTS in that relationship…mutual respect or does he want to learn how to climb mountains.

Yesterday was LORETTA LYNN’s 90th birthday, and I’m sure one of the ways she celebrated was by watching a video that was posted on her Facebook page. It featured a steady stream of country stars wishing her the best. Included are Garth Brooks, Trisha Yearwood, Tim McGraw, Faith Hill, Carrie Underwood, Alan Jackson . . . and Dolly Parton who sang “Happy Birthday”. You can see the video below….

Josh Brolin this morning with Kelly And Ryan … Admits that he needs to get in shape for the upcoming “Dune” sequel. “I was with Javier at the Oscars, and Javier and I kind of like we just kinda showed each other our ponches.” Remember when guys would just drink beer and compare lawns? The “Dune” sequel is due in theaters October of next year…

Avatar: Fire and Ash picks up after The Way of Water and dives into darker territory, introducing a more aggressive Na’vi tribe tied to fire and volcanic regions. It cranks up the conflict, explores moral gray areas, and shows Pandora is a lot less peaceful than we thought.
