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.”

Carly Pearce spent some time on tour with Tim McGraw earlier this year, and although she’s an avid runner and big into other fitness regimens like Orange Theory and spinning, one workout she has no plans to incorporate into her routine is Tim’s intense CrossFit training. “Yeah, I’m not gonna be a part of Tim McGraw’s workouts because quite frankly, I don’t think I could keep up. I did pull the tire up and I got it up, but he said that he will flip the tire the length of like a football field, y’all. And I’m just not going to do that. I will stick to running. If Tim McGraw wants to do a running challenge, let’s go.”

Some people may not know that one of Justin Moore’s favorite hobbies is cooking. He loves to try new recipes and often watches the Food Network for inspiration. We wondered if Justin has ever considered putting all those family recipes and his other favorites into a cookbook. “I would certainly be up for it. I’ve not ever thought about it, but I think it would be somethin’ that would be fun to do.”
