Welcome to The List,
Yesterday we reported that Miranda Lambert stopped her show in Vegas and scolded fans for taking selfies. Well, the woman has come forward, and she’s NOT apologizing. they just wanted to have a good picture, because they “had the best seats in the house. It was 30 seconds at most. We took the picture quickly and were going to sit back down” She didn’t like how Miranda made it seem like she and her friends were “young, immature, and vain.” They would have taken the pictures before the show, but the lighting wasn’t good…sounds a little vain to me…

Lately it seems like these breakup rumors have been coming true more often than not, so maybe it’s best we don’t ignore this one: The not-always-reliable Radar Online says that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are having issues, and they’re taking some time apart to figure things out. Harry doesn’t fit in Meghan’s tacky Tinseltown world,” and he needs to “find himself.”

If you didn’t get to go to CMA Fest this year in Nashville…well, they’re bringing the music event of the summer to you!! We asked Dierks what it’s like hosting. “Hosting the CMA Fest is the ultimate gig. It’s so fun. I mean, I’ve hosted some big awards show as well and those are great too, but this is a four-day festival, so I get to be there for four days. It’s the greatest fans to play in front of, BUT I get to co-host this with two of the funniest people I know – Elle King and Lainey Wilson.” CMA Fest airs tonight at 7pm on ABC.

Did the new “Snow White” and “Wonka” movies give little people the shaft? At least that’s the opinion of one little person who says roles for people in his community are drying up. Dylan Postl . . . who was also known as Hornswoggle in the WWE for many years . . . says “progressive” policies are the reason the dwarfs in “Snow White” are no longer dwarfs . . .And Hugh Grant is the Oompa Loompa in the upcoming “Wonka” movie. Dylan says, quote, “These are roles made for actors of my stature . . . I can’t go for the Harrison Ford or the George Clooney roles. He has a point.
