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?

Carly Pearce spent some time on tour with Tim McGraw earlier this year, and although she’s an avid runner and big into other fitness regimens like Orange Theory and spinning, one workout she has no plans to incorporate into her routine is Tim’s intense CrossFit training. “Yeah, I’m not gonna be a part of Tim McGraw’s workouts because quite frankly, I don’t think I could keep up. I did pull the tire up and I got it up, but he said that he will flip the tire the length of like a football field, y’all. And I’m just not going to do that. I will stick to running. If Tim McGraw wants to do a running challenge, let’s go.”

I’ve not ever thought about it, but I think it would be somethin’ that would be fun to do.”
