At The Movies for Thursday, May 18th 2023

Welcome to The List,

If you want to impress Amy Poehler DON’T do dumb stuff…She says nothing dries up her interest faster than a dude doing “goofy gymnastics.” She realized it during The Outsiders when Tom Cruise did a backflip and—boom—crush over. Her quote? “He lost it for me.” And somehow… the world kept spinning… and Tom still made a billion dollars jumping off cliffs…

The National Amusement Park Historical Association just crowned Dollywood America’s Favorite Theme Park for the third year in a row. That’s right—while Disney's sweating over lines and price hikes, Dolly's out here serving roller coasters, biscuits, and Southern charm like a queen.

-----

Terry Bradshaw wants Aaron Rodgers nowhere near the Steelers. His exact words? “That guy needs to stay in California. Go chew on bark and whisper to the gods.” Sir. That is not a sports take—that’s a National Geographic diss. Somewhere, Aaron just lit a sage stick and cried…

Tim McGraw is healing up after double knee replacements, two back surgeries, and a tour where his whole body went full “Nope.” Don’t forget the partridge in a pear tree….He said it best: “My knees went out, my back went cattywampus,” and I swear that’s not a country song lyric… yet. Somebody get this man a recliner, a heating pad, and a Grammy for touring like RoboDad.

Welcome to The List,

Mark your calendars and dust off your boots — Cody Johnson is closing out the 2026 Houston Rodeo with a full-on, concert-only performance March 22nd. That makes him the 21st star entertainer in Rodeo history and only the second to get his own solo show after King George Strait. Translation: He's that big of a deal!!

Parker McCollum got raw and real with Bunnie XO on her Dumb Blonde podcast, talking road life, growth, and his biggest green flag: he's chill. Invite him to a party? Cool. Don’t? Still cool. Red flag? He admits he’s kinda inconsistent and might keep repeating mistakes. Basically, he’s every woman’s emotionally unavailable dreamboat — with a six-pack and a guitar.

Word on the street is Meghan Markle’s been flooding Jennifer Aniston with gifts and invites like she’s auditioning for Friends: Montecito Edition. Jen just moved to the neighborhood and apparently Meghan sees this as her golden shot — but Jen’s like, “Hard pass.” Sources say she’s quietly trashing the gifts and dodging every invite. No podcast, no playdates, no jam. Jen said, “I’ll take the quiet life — hold the royal drama.”

-----

Tom Cruise’s daughter Suri is allegedly being offered $5 million to spill the tea in a memoir—because nothing says "coming of age" like cashing in on childhood trauma. A source says they want truth, trauma, and tabloid gold—so basically, a Kardashian starter pack. But Suri? She’s unbothered, moisturized, living her best quiet life. Not chasing fame—just finding herself. But if she does talk? Buckle up, Hollywood. The Scientology sirens might just explode.
