The List for Monday, June 13th 2022

Welcome to The List,

This Sunday is Father’s Day….and we all remember dad for the things he’s do for us and the sage wisdom he would pass on from time to time. Brad Paisley shares some of the wisdom he got from HIS dad when it came to playing his guitar. “My dad used to say, and this is the best advice.  You don’t have to be good right now and that’s alright.  But, someday you’re not going to be that cute, You’re going to have to be pretty good or you’re just going to talk about the good ole days.”

Chris Evans tells Variety magazine that replacing Tim Allen as the voice of Buzz Lightyear was intimidating. Saying “The first time you have to do that iconic line, ‘To Infinity and Beyond…,’ you kind of just do a shameless Tim Allen impression.  Eventually you feel comfortable and find your own interpretation, while still using Tim Allen as the blueprint.” “Lightyear” staring Chris Evans, Taika Waititi and James Brolin is in theaters Thursday night

Walker Hayes Says Fatherhood Has Helped Him Better Understand His Father … “It definitely helps me forgive my dad for a lot things.  now, I’m that guy who’s too full to throw the football at night, which I never understood growing up. I was like ‘How are you too full and tired to throw a football?’ And now, that’s me, on the couch.”

Even though she wasn’t invited to the wedding, Lynne Spears congratulated her daughter Britney.  And Britney posted video of herself at the reception dancing to “Like a Virgin” . . . with Madonna. And in case you’re wondering,  no they didn’t….kiss… Jurassic World Dominion” knocked “Top Gun: Maverick” off the top of the box office heap with a $143.4 million opening.
