Welcome to The List,

Apparently, some movie theaters tried to have a last minute advance screening of “Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour” and it didn’t go well. Multiple sources say theaters were NOT happy with having to prepare for potential mass demand with so little advance notice. The irony is, the demand probably wasn't all that great.  Due to the last-minute call for the advance screenings, theaters were reporting weak crowds.

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….
