Welcome to The List,

The actor’s union SAG-AFTRA will allow 39 productions to continue shooting during the strike, since they're independent.  They include "Death of a Unicorn" . . . starring Paul Rudd and Jenna Ortega as a father and daughter who run over a unicorn with their car…I would think these are the kinds of productions that PUT the writers out of a job to begin with.

Netflix is changing…again…they’re getting rid of its "Basic" plan, which is the $9.99 ad-free tier.  The good news is, if you already have it, you can stay on it.  But new subscribers will have to choose a more expensive plan, or the ad-supported tier for $6.99..

We're in Day Two (give or take) of the Jason Aldean "Try That in a Small Town" controversy, and sides have been chosen.  No surprise there.  With Donald Trump Jr giving props calling out the B.S. and Roseanne Barr tweeting “Jason's next song should be about virtue signaling white women freaking out over a country song while blasting gangster rap in their luxury SUVs as they drop their kids off at school.”

When you look at Jelly Roll, what is the FIRST thing you notice…His tattoo’s right? Well he tells Billboard magazine that he wishes he could get rid of a lot of them in fact he says  “I'd get rid of around 96% of them I think.  No one has more tattoo regrets than I do.  How you think at 16 years old and how you think at 36 years old are so dramatically far apart from each other. It’s embarrassing."

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."

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.

Dolly Parton turned 77 a few months back, but don't worry about her hanging it up anytime soon.  She did an interview with a radio station in the U.K. the other day, and said her plan is to NEVER retire. "I'll just hopefully drop dead in the middle of a song onstage someday . . . hopefully one I've written.  That's how I hope to go." She said the only thing that would slow her down is if her health goes downhill, or her husband gets sick.  Otherwise, she wants to "make hay while the sun shines..

Of all people to have the key to happiness…Justin Moore just might! “You know, success is defined differently by a lot of different people. For me right now, success is defined by being the best son of God I can be, and the best dad I can be, and the best husband I can be. If I can sing pretty good, that’s pretty cool too. But as long as my kiddos look up to me and my wife’s happy with me, I’m pretty happy.” Adding embrace what you are and who you are, whatever that is.

This is the first time I've seen a country star belt it out while sitting in the backseat of an Uber.  There was a karaoke machine in an Uber that picked up Toby Keith, so he put on a show for the driver and other passengers.
