Welcome to The List,
We start with Jada Pinkett, we talked about it a little yesterday. Today we find out that Chris Rock took that Oscar slap for NOTHING . . . because Will Smith and Jada Pinkett weren’t even together when it happened. The first thing Jada said to Will once they were alone was, quote, “Are you okay?” Jada says that right after the slap, during a commercial break, Chris came to the end of the stage and tried to apologize to her. But she told him, quote, “I can’t talk about this now, Chris. This is some old stuff.” As for the joke that prompted the slap, Jada won’t say it offended her. Quote, “I mean, that’s what comedians do. Sounds like there’s a lot of manipulation going on here….

Tom Cruise is allegedly on a long, carefully planned mission to become Sir Tom Cruise. A source says this has been years in the making hosting events, shaking hands, embedding himself deep in the British film world. Apparently he knows exactly how the system works and he’s been playing the long game. At this point, don’t be shocked if the next Mission: Impossible ends with him bowing politely and accepting a sword tap on each shoulder.
