Welcome to The List,
It’s REALLY hard to imagine “Titanic” without Leonardo DiCaprio, but director James Cameron says he almost botched his audition. James says Kate Winslet was “fantastic” from the get-go, but when Leo first came in, he had an attitude. “We’ll run some lines, I’ll video it, he said ‘You mean I’m reading?” I said Yeah! He said I don’t read, and I shook his hand and said thanks for coming bye! He said wait, wait, you mean if I don’t read I don’t get the part? Just like that? I said Oh, yeah this is going to be a giant movie and it’s going to take two years of my life, so, you’re going to read or you’re not going to get the part.” He goes on to say every ounce of his entire being is just so negative right up to the point I said action…and he turned into Jack.

This won’t surprise you. Presale tickets for Garth Brooks’ year-long Vegas residency went on sale Monday . . . and sold-out that day. He talked about it on Monday’s “Inside Studio G”, quote, “What an unbelievable day this was for us. Every show in ’23 is pretty much . . . done. A whole year in one day.”
