Welcome to The List,
The actor’s union SAG-AFTRA will allow 39 productions to continue shooting during the strike, since they’re independent. They include “Death of a Unicorn” . . . starring Paul Rudd and Jenna Ortega as a father and daughter who run over a unicorn with their car…I would think these are the kinds of productions that PUT the writers out of a job to begin with.

Netflix is changing…again…they’re getting rid of its “Basic” plan, which is the $9.99 ad-free tier. The good news is, if you already have it, you can stay on it. But new subscribers will have to choose a more expensive plan, or the ad-supported tier for $6.99..

We’re in Day Two (give or take) of the Jason Aldean “Try That in a Small Town” controversy, and sides have been chosen. No surprise there. With Donald Trump Jr giving props calling out the B.S. and Roseanne Barr tweeting “Jason’s next song should be about virtue signaling white women freaking out over a country song while blasting gangster rap in their luxury SUVs as they drop their kids off at school.”

When you look at Jelly Roll, what is the FIRST thing you notice…His tattoo’s right? Well he tells Billboard magazine that he wishes he could get rid of a lot of them in fact he says “I’d get rid of around 96% of them I think. No one has more tattoo regrets than I do. How you think at 16 years old and how you think at 36 years old are so dramatically far apart from each other. It’s embarrassing.”

The International News says Joe Manganello is allegedly planning to ditch Hollywood now that he’s divorcing Sofia Vergara. A source tells the website, “Joe was ever really comfortable in a giant Los Angeles mansion or on the beaches of Saint Tropez. I would not be shocked if he found some modest small town to settle down in. He misses the backyard barbecues and friend group he had in the early days of his career, Well, Joe….we do that A LOT in Kix Country…the invite is open anytime.

Brad Paisley says his former California home was lost in the Pacific Palisades wildfire. Saying “It was the first house Kim and I bought together. Memories were made with some of our dearest friends. I would post a link to donate or raise awareness or something, but it all feels so much bigger than that. I don't know where to begin.
-----
Jennifer Lopez is allegedly relying on Kim Kardashian of all people following her split from Ben Affleck. A source tells the publication, "Kim has been a great support system for Jennifer during this tough time. She’s really stepped up to the plate and been not only a shoulder to cry on, but also a bona fide cheerleader and a stylist, too. It must be so hard being Jennifer Lopez….
