Welcome to The List,
One of the funniest comedy franchises of all time is getting a reboot. A new “Naked Gun” movie is in the works, starring Liam Neeson. That’s an interesting choice, because his name is so similar to the star of the original movies, Leslie Nielsen. And, just like Leslie, Neeson goes into it having been known primarily for serious roles. This isn’t official, but there’s word that Neeson will play the SON of Leslie Nielsen’s character, Lieutenant Frank Drebin. I want to know who’s going to play Nordberg…if you know…you know….

Maren Morris tells ABC that she doesn’t want her son becoming a musician. “As a parent, you support any of their dreams. But my husband and I are like, ‘please don’t end up in the music industry!’ We joke that we want him to be, like, an accountant.” Does she really not like what she does that much?
