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.

The latest news on Jay Leno from TMZ…is reporting he’s back on the open road less than 2 weeks after he was severely burned in a car fire, and his first stop … the same garage where it happened. Tuesday, the comedian drove himself to his Burbank garage where he keeps most of his famous car collection. He briefly chatted with photogs as he pulled in at the gate … tellin’ them he’ll back onstage telling jokes as soon as this weekend. He also jokes around about a much-needed BBQ. Too soon, Jay!!!

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.”

Lainey Wilson performed a new song called “Smell Like Smoke” on Sunday’s episode of “Yellowstone” where she DID get her drink and a dance. If you know you know..and. If you’re interested, it’s been ADDED to her “Bell Bottom Country” album.
