Welcome to The List,
You wouldn’t know by looking at her but Miranda Lambert says she still gets nervous performing on television. ”I just try to think of it as, just go do what I do. I do one thing and when I get freaked out about what it is or who the audience is I just pretend that I’m up on a stage at Billy Bobs and doin what I do and it does calm me down.”
Blake Shelton Says “Minimum Wage” Was Meant To Be Performed Live … “I just thought wow you know I could just see us kickin off a concert and really milking that intro for a while. It’s not one of those song you have to think super hard about. It’s just a really great message and a great love song.”
Bad news on the set of Tom Cruise’s Mission Impossible 7, it looks like several of the cast and crew have tested positive for the coronavirus. A source tells the National Enquirer, that “The whole shooting crew, about 60 people, have all had to self-isolate for 14 days…With all the setbacks, accidents and temper tantrums this film is starting to look like a mission impossible.
Patrick Wilson talks about his new movie “The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It.” Patrick says the movie follows the previous films’ tradition of basing their plots on true stories. “The case is based on a true story, as all the Conjuring films are. It’s the first case in United States history, were demonic possession was used as an alibi for homicide. The question becomes, that he said that he was possessed.” We took a look at “The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It” yesterday, you can check it out at KIXWEB.COM under ‘At The Movies” “The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It” is in theaters and streaming today on HBO Max.

Welcome to The List,
Meghan Markle allegedly thought she could jump the royal line. A new book claims she believed she should be queen next. Said she was smarter, better, and worked harder than Kate. That’s not confidence, that’s skipping the entire family tree.

Two Blackhawk helicopters hovering over Kid Rock’s house raised eyebrows fast. Army pilots got suspended while the investigation played out. Then the Defense Secretary stepped in and shut it down. Suspensions lifted, no punishment, case closed just like that.
-----
Keith Urban might be ready to say a little more. A report claims he felt iced out of Nicole Kidman’s interview. She talked family and life but didn’t mention him once. Now there’s talk he could finally tell his side. Nothing says romance like a possible press tour response.

And if you saw Jason Aldean storm off Colbert… relax. That viral story is completely made up from top to bottom. Wrong show name, bad details, zero credible sources behind it. The internet really said “let’s just create chaos today.” Moral of the story, not everything trending is actually true…I know…surprise right??
