The List for Monday, March 8th 2021

Welcome to The List –

We kick off International Women’s Day on The List with two very influential women in Country music; Carrie Underwood and Lauren Alaina.  But who inspired them?

Carrie Underwood Is Influenced By The Female Greats Of Country Music … “My biggest influences would have to be women like Reba, like Dolly, like Faith Hill, like Martina McBride. You see all of these women just juggle everything masterfully.   You know, you have the kids and the career and just trying to crush everything you do and being pulled in a million different directions. And to see women like that, who are just beautiful and smart and strong and talented is just such an inspiration to me

Lauren Alaina’s Female Inspiration Is Her Manager Trisha…  She’s constantly putting out fires. Trisha’s putting ‘em out and calming me down and helping me get to the next place, and she just does everything with such grace and poise, and she’s such a problem solver, and she’s always positive, and I just really admire that about her.”

And another name has been whispered to replace Daniel Craig as the new James Bond…would you believe Bear Grylls? He tells the Sun newspaper paper, that he HAS been approached and it’s a privilege to be considered.  But he’s got a lot on his plate right now and doesn’t want to appear too greedy.

Ace Showbiz says Eddie Murphy is working on a third Coming to America movie.  But it doesn’t happen for 16 years. He says he has to be 75 to do it. Not make me up like (I look) 75, but really be 75.”  Coming 2 America is steaming now on Amazon Prime.

Governor Matthew McConaughey OK Magazine says he continues to explore a run for Texas governor in 2022. A source tells the magazine, ”He has been putting out feelers to see if he’s got sufficient support.
