Welcome to The List,
Could there be another Back To The Future movie? 84 year old Christopher Lloyd seems to think so. He also thinks Michael J. Fox could do it, too. Okay, in no way whatsoever do I want to sound rude or insulting. But have you seen Michael J. Fox lately? His Parkinson’s has REALLY taken hold and I would think Christopher Lloyd would be acutely aware of that. If the focus shifted so it was one of Marty’s kids doing the time traveling…that might work.

Kenny Chesney got Kelsea Ballerini to take a backstage ice bath with his band before their show in Lincoln, Nebraska this weekend. But there was one condition. She said only if he did a SHOT with her on stage for his song, “You and Tequila”. And so, the ice bath and the shot happened.

Cody Johnson tells CMT that he had to turn down a role in the show ‘Yellowstone’. He knows Taylor Sheridan, the creator of the show, would love to do it at some point but with only a couple months’ notice we weren’t able to do it with all the shows already on his schedule.

Tom Cruise is allegedly upset that Brad Pitt is going to star in an F1 racing movie. A lot of people don’t realize this, but Brad and Tom competed for so many roles; it’s ridiculous. Their rivalry is one of the industry’s best-kept secrets. Tom’s nose might be a bit out of joint over this. Brad is kind of stepping on his turf a little, No doubt that has ruffled a few feathers too. ‘You DON’T SAY…Tom Cruise is competitive?

Welcome to The List,
Shia LaBeouf went full Mardi Gras meltdown in New Orleans, getting arrested after a fight outside a bar and charged with simple battery. Paramedics showed up, Shia went to the hospital, and locals claimed he’d been “terrorizing the city.” But plot twist, after getting released, he was spotted dancing on Bourbon Street with his release papers in his mouth like it was a receipt from a wild night at Walgreens.

Miley Cyrus is dusting off the blonde wig for the Hannah Montana 20th Anniversary Special hitting Disney+ March 24th. They’re recreating the original sets, showing never-before-seen footage, Miley says Hannah will always be part of her, which makes sense, because that show launched her career and funded about half her wardrobe during the foam finger era. Somewhere Billy Ray just whispered, “Best of both worlds… and residual checks.”

Carrie Underwood might look like a country music superhero on stage, but at home she’s basically your Midwest grandma with better hair. She says she crochets, birdwatches, makes sourdough, brews kombucha, and even ferments her own hot sauce. Carrie says real life isn’t glam, it’s cleaning toilets, gardening, and doing laundry. So yes, America’s sweetheart could win a Grammy in the morning and yell at you in the afternoon for not using a coaster.

Jelly Roll and Bunnie XO just announced they’ve found a surrogate and are preparing to grow their family. Bunnie says after years of healing and getting stable, they’re ready to raise kids surrounded by love and give them everything they didn’t have growing up. Which means those kids will have emotional support, life wisdom, and probably the coolest bedtime stories ever told by a guy named Jelly Roll.
