Welcome to The List,

We start with ‘The Voice’..and Jason Aldean…He was asked if he thought he would ever be a judge..”Maybe, I never say never…but, it’s a little bit of a mental game too of who’s saving who and how can I keep this person. I’d probably be the worst judge ever!”

Of all his movies, Nicolas Cage wants you to watch 2021's "Pig".  He says, quote, "To me [it's] like a folk song.  It's a very quiet, gentle movie, which is the polar opposite of . . . people thinking I'm crazy."  ..not at all like his NEW movie, it’s a horror movie titled ‘Longlegs’ in theaters July 12^th. It’s a cross between The ‘Silence of the Lambs’ and ‘Sinister’.

Welcome to The List,

Kevin Bacon had a harrowing experience recently..something you and I deal with every day..He once put on a disguise and spent a day as a regular person, and it SUCKED.  Quote, "People were kind of pushing past me, not being nice.  Nobody said, 'I love you.'  I had to wait in line…what a hard life…

OK! Magazine says Ben Affleck is sad that he and JLo didn’t work out. A source says, "Jennifer was Ben’s dream woman. It was drama all the time. Jennifer has a big entourage that follows her around daily — glam squad, videographers, photographers, assistants, trainers. She’s tried to make Ben understand that being Jennifer Lopez is a 24/7 job. She is her brand, she lives and breathes it while Ben can leave his work at the door if he chooses to.

Morgan Wallen tells Billboard magazine that he is striving to maintain normalcy despite his fame. "I try to hold on to as much normalcy as possible. I like driving, so I try to drive as much as I can by myself. I play my shows, I hang out with my son, and I hide pretty much. And I’m OK with that. I’m happy as heck with that."​…until he drinks…and he gets within a few feet of a chair I guess…

Shaboozey tells Harper's Bazaar magazine that he loves to tell stories. “I was always telling stories, always trying to find ways to create something. Maybe that was a short film with my friends, or writing, but I was always drawn to telling stories. That's what country music is all about; telling stories about your life”.
