Welcome to The List,
Disney’s live-action “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs“ will modernize the character of Snow White. She’ll be played by Rachel Zegler, who said she’ll be more independent and not waiting for a man. A release date hasn’t been announced yet, but it’ll hit theaters sometime in 2024 and feature Gal Gadot as the Evil Queen….yeah, they changed The Little Mermaid too…and it’s not working out to well….

Ladies, is there a certain song that puts you in the fightin’ mood? Does it happen to be “Mama’s Broken Heart“ by Miranda Lambert? Miranda had to stop playing it early in her shows because the fights would disrupt everything. It’s now the first song in what she calls “the final push.” It’s where she really kicks it into gear. She does “Mama’s Broken Heart”, then “Gunpowder & Lead”, “Little Red Wagon”, and “Drunk (And I Don’t Wanna Go Home)”. Quote, “We do this final push at the end of the show. So, if the girls are fighting, they [can] just fight through the rest of the set.”

Still on the fence about tonight’s “ACM Honors”? Here are some highlights. Eric Church will be surprising Morgan Wallen with the ACM Milestone Award. Shania Twain will be given the ACM Poet’s Award. Chris Stapleton receives the ACM Spirit Award, and Miranda Lambert gets her Triple Crown Award for winning ACM Entertainer of the Year, Female Vocalist of the Year, and New Artist of the Year.

Carly Pearce talks about The Performances At This Year’s ACM Honors Show … “Loved Vince [Gill]. He honored Stapleton, which just, anytime Vince Gill sings I die for. Shania just in general, getting to see everybody and their performances.. But I think that my favorite performance of the night was Brooks & Dunn honoring Miranda Lambert, singing ‘Kerosene. ’”The ACM Honors airs tonight on Fox.

OK! magazine says King Charles is considering making Prince Harry and Meghan Markle part-time Royals in order to end their family feud. A source tells the magazine, “Charles wants to fix the Harry and Meghan problem. The only way he’s going to stop them being a problem is to give into them, which it looks like he is going to do. But part of the deal would be Harry’s book needs to disappear in order for this to work.”

Getting a little background on Jackson Dean, he tells EverettPost.com that his entire family worked construction. The ‘Don’t come Lookin’ singer says he and his brothers, from birth, worked for their father. He always worked construction. Just manual labor. Never worked in a restaurant, never did anything like that. It was hard, but rewarding work.”

Welcome to The List,
Brantley Gilbert sang “Dirt Road Anthem” at the Turning Point USA halftime show, and Zach Bryan took it personally. So Zach dropped a parody called “Chili on a Hot Dog,” basically roasting the lyrics and celebrating double-fisted chili dogs like it’s a county fair championship. Brantley fired back by grabbing two foot-long chili dogs on stage and acting it out. Jason Aldean chimed in with, “Best song I’ve heard from that guy.” Nothing says country unity like processed meat.

Thomas Rhett admitted on a podcast he’s losing hearing in one ear at 35 and had to get hearing aids. Years of loud concerts… plus four kids and a fifth on the way. He wore them for a week and asked his wife, “Is this what you hear all day?” She basically said, welcome to marriage. Turns out the loudest tour of his life is at home.

There’s a new indie horror movie called ‘The House Was Not Hungry Then’, told entirely from the haunted house’s perspective. No close-ups. No dramatic reaction shots. Just the house silently watching a woman search for her missing father. It hits video on demand February 13th. So now even the drywall is judging you.

Producer Jerry Bruckheimer says he’s working on Top Gun 3 and Pirates of the Caribbean 6. He told Screen Rant it’s basically a horse race. Right now Top Gun is barely ahead, waiting on a script. So Maverick might fly again… or Jack Sparrow might stumble back in. Hollywood is saying…. originality is overrated.
