Welcome to The List,

Could there be another Back To The Future movie?  84 year old Christopher Lloyd seems to think so.  He also thinks Michael J. Fox could do it, too.  Okay, in no way whatsoever do I want to sound rude or insulting.  But have you seen Michael J. Fox lately?  His Parkinson's has REALLY taken hold and I would think Christopher Lloyd would be acutely aware of that.  If the focus shifted so it was one of Marty’s kids doing the time traveling…that might work.

Dolly Parton has now turned down two Presidential Medal of Freedom offers.  She said no to President Trump a few years ago, and according to "The Today Show", she also turned down President Biden.

-----

Kenny Chesney got Kelsea Ballerini to take a backstage ice bath with his band before their show in Lincoln, Nebraska this weekend.  But there was one condition.  She said only if he did a SHOT with her on stage for his song, "You and Tequila".  And so, the ice bath and the shot happened.

Reba McEntire is serving as a mentor on the current season of "The Voice" . . . and they must like her, because she's getting a promotion.  Reba will take Blake Shelton's chair on the upcoming 24th season this fall. The three other coaches next season will be Gwen Stefani, John Legend, and Niall Horan. The finale of 'The Voice' airs on Monday, May 22nd and Tuesday, May 23rd on NBC.

Cody Johnson tells CMT that he had to turn down a role in the show 'Yellowstone'.  He knows Taylor Sheridan, the creator of the show, would love to do it at some point but with only a couple months’ notice we weren’t able to do it with all the shows already on his schedule.

Tom Cruise is allegedly upset that Brad Pitt is going to star in an F1 racing movie.  A lot of people don’t realize this, but Brad and Tom competed for so many roles; it’s ridiculous. Their rivalry is one of the industry’s best-kept secrets. Tom’s nose might be a bit out of joint over this. Brad is kind of stepping on his turf a little, No doubt that has ruffled a few feathers too. ‘You DON’T SAY…Tom Cruise is competitive?

Welcome to The List,

Johnny Depp signed a RECORD three-year, $20 million deal to continue to be the face of Dior's Sauvage cologne.  He first signed with them back in 2015. Johnny's new deal is the largest of any men's fragrance.  A source familiar with the fragrance industry said the average amount for an A-list celebrity is $2 to $4 million a year.  It’d be cool if he did the ads as Captain Jack Sparrow.

Chris Stapleton was being interviewed backstage after winning Entertainer of the Year on Thursday, and somebody asked where the trophy is going to live.  I know where it WON'T be.  His house. “Some of ‘em, we put ‘em out on the road in the VIP section for people to see, for the fans to see. That’s who they belong to. I don’t feel like they really belong to me. I don’t have ‘em in my house or anything like that. So, I don’t sit around in a shrine of myself or anything.”  Friday, I shared a video of something ELSE Chris was doing after the show…He was helping clean up the venue after the awards show.

Even though “Fast X” was supposed to be the final movie in the series…Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson has a surprise cameo in a post-credits scene. He’s made it VERY CLEAR that he's not a fan of Vin Diesel, and he had no intention of returning to the "Fast & Furious" franchise.  But he either lied, or he had a change of heart. There's no official word yet, but that COULD mean that he'll have a larger role in the franchise going forward.

If you're old enough to remember the launch of MTV on August 1st, 1981 at 12:01 A.M., this will bring you right back:  Somebody put the first two hours on YouTube.  Everyone knows the first video they played was "Video Killed the Radio Star" by The Buggles.  You'll also see all the original VJs introduce themselves . . . plus the very first ad that ever aired, for a three-ring binder called The Bulk.  It was followed by a commercial for "Superman 2". If you want to take a step back in time…check it out here...

Blake Shelton received his star on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame over the weekend. He talks about putting the work in…“I hope I do represent hard work,  and swinging for the fence. Being super lucky and being at the right place at the right time. But, trying something and putting the work in to go with it.  That’s all I ever wanted.” Adding, he never expected to be standing on his own star on the walk of fame…and listening to Gwen’s speech felt like they were getting married again.

And finally, Entertainment Tonight says Keith Urban is planning to return to American Idol on May 21st as a guest mentor. He will also perform his hit, ''Wild Hearts''.

The ACM’s were last night on Amazon Prime Video…Morgan Wallen won ACM Male Artist of the Year, Entertainer of the Year went to Chris Stapleton who looked genuinely surprised Lainey Wilson is a firecracker and what was Miranda Lambert wearing?! Good song though.  Overall it was a pretty good show…and Dolly’s “Rock” song…wow!!

Entertainment Tonight says Jimmie Allen is denying reports he assaulted his former manager before and after an appearance on the Ellen DeGeneres Show. He issued a statement saying,  “It is deeply troubling and hurtful that someone I counted as one of my closest friends, colleagues and confidants would make allegations that have no truth to them whatsoever. Jimmie's record label, BBR Music Group, released a statement saying, ‘’In light of today’s allegations against Jimmie Allen, BBR Music Group has decided to suspend all activity with him, effective immediately.’’

The National Enquirer claims Justin Timberlake is allegedly concerned about what Britney Spears will reveal in her upcoming memoir. A source tells the magazine, “Justin’s future is literally in the hands of Britney Spears. She knows everything and is getting paid $15 million to reveal all. Justin has a PR war room set up, but they can’t do anything until they’ve read what she has to say. There is no way Justin’s going to get an advance copy – unless Britney sends him one.”

And lastly, Robert De Niro has named his new baby girl Gia. He and girlfriend Tiffany Chen welcomed her on April 6th.  Robert has now 7 kids and is 79.
