The List for Monday, May 23td 2022

Welcome to The List,

Last week Maren Morris tweeted that she might like to try out for the Broadway show for “Wicked” so, why not!  She shared her Video Audition Tape  of ‘The Wizard And I’, from the musical.  She said in the post that the video was a test shot for her audition for the musical. That would be cool…and something to add to the ole resume’

“Bad Boys 4″ is still in development despite Will Smith slapping Chris Rock at the Oscars.  Sony chairman Tom Rothman tells Screen Rant. That was a very unfortunate thing that happened, and I don’t think it’s really my place to comment, except to say that I’ve known Will Smith for many years, and I know him to be a good person. I believe his apology and regret is genuine, and I believe in forgiveness and redemption.” And of course the big payday when Bad Boys 4 hits theaters. That release date has not been announced.

Tim McGraw tells Variety magazine that Faith Hill forced him to shower on the set of ”1883”. “There were a few times that my wife forced me to take a shower while we were shooting , because I wanted to stay in character as best I could. She’s like, ‘I don’t care about Method. You stink!’”

American Idol Season 20 is over, and its winner has been crowned! The season finale aired live last night pitting the top three competitors against each other once and for all.  Leah Marlene, Hunter Girl and Noah Thompson. After the final vote tally Ryan Seacrest announced Noah Thompson and the American Idol!  ABC announced earlier this month that the singing competition will return for another season, and it’s likely that Katy Luke and Lionel will all return in addition to Seacrest.

Dylan Scott does NOT like doing music video’s “It’s a little uncomfortable for me, because you gotta act a little bit.  But it’s a cool thing to do.”   Adding, music videos and photo shoots are very critical with going along with the music, So, you just gotta suck it up and do it.

I’ve always heard Tom Cruise was…short, well he’s 5 ft 7 and stood eye-to-eye with Kate Middleton at the London premiere of “Top Gun: Maverick”.  SHE was wearing three-inch stiletto heels… Tom shall we say “padded” his shoes, with a stacked heel and placed elevating insoles inside of them which made HIM 6 foot tall…to which I say just OWN it…

‘Top Gun: Maverick’ opens in theatres on Thursday night

Welcome to The List,

Imagine paying good money to see Chris Stapleton live… only to take a nap. That’s exactly what an Australian couple did—out cold in the middle of the concert! Their friends, being absolute menaces, surrounded them with empty beer cans. When the couple woke up, they had a full-blown hangover without the fun part.

The List for Wednesday, March 12th 2025

Welcome to The List,

We saw THIS coming a mile away…Jennifer Garner has reportedly been given an ultimatum by her boyfriend.  If he sees another picture like the one of Jennifer and Ben Affleck cuddling at paintball, he's out the door.

Blake Shelton just can't seem to stop with all the onstage PDA.  First Trace Adkins told him no more kisses on the cheek.  Now this . . .A video of Blake bringing an 84-year-old lady on stage for a birthday hug is making the rounds online.  It was pretty cute.  It happened two weekends ago at his show in Greensboro, North Carolina.  She was out in the crowd with a sign that said, "May I hug you for my 84th birthday?" (WARNING:  He says the word "damn" early on in the video, and the song lyrics include the phrase "wild-a**."  She shows up on stage around 1:20.)

RadarOnline.com says the Oscars bosses are considering offering Chris Rock a huge sum to host the 2026 Academy Awards in hopes he can inject excitement back into the show. It seems he has unfinished business following the Will Smith affair and he'd be a huge audience winner.
