Welcome to The List,
Britney Spears has written a book…it’s actually a autobiography and it’s got A LOT of A-listers nervous. SO, nervous that they are sending legal letters to her over what they’re afraid she’s going to say. So far the book has been put on hold because of that. I would imagine some of those “nervous A-listers” also have the last name “Spears”. Another might have the initials “J.T.”

When Brantley Gilbert and Jelly Roll first got together to record their song, “Son of the Dirty South,” they realized pretty quickly that they were kindred spirits who work really well together. Then they went on tour together, and they decided to make more music together, which Brantley says they hope to share with fans sooner than later. “We’re working on a EP with Jelly Roll. We went and got in the studio and basically live there for a week, and a lot of good stuff came out of that. I don’t know that we’ll release all of ‘em right now, but we are working on like kind of a little EP to put out. There is no specific release date for Brantley and Jelly Roll’s new project yet. But, he’ll be releasing the Deluxe Edition of his ‘So Help Me God’ album on April 21st.

The new James Bond Search continues… casting director Debbie McWilliams says she and the producers are no longer looking at young actors for the role of 007. Even though they looked at a lot of great actors none had the life experience or the gravitas to pull off such a massive responsibility…So we kind of scrubbed that idea and went back to the drawing board and started again.”

Brad Paisley just confessed what every guy already knows… he’s a last-minute Christmas shopper. Brad says he ends up at the mall on December 24th, panic-buying gifts he doesn’t fully understand. He admits it’s a waste of what should be a fun day, but somehow he still does it every year. Buying mystery gifts and hoping for the best… truly a man of the people.

Cher is catching heat for allegedly lip-syncing during her Saturday Night Live performance. Some fans compared it to Ashlee Simpson’s infamous 2004 moment which feels a little dramatic. Cher is 79 years old, it’s a taped show, and lip-syncing has been happening on SNL longer than the cold open.

Welcome to The List,

Tyson claims this time he’s cracked the code on training, saying he went too hard before and “left most of the fight in the gym.” RadarOnline says Mike thinks a smarter camp would change everything. Which is wild, because the man is still Mike Tyson. If this happens, somebody hide the ear protection… literally.
