Welcome to The List,

Britney Spears has written a book…it’s actually a autobiography and it’s got A LOT of A-listers nervous.  SO, nervous that they are sending legal letters to her over what they’re afraid she’s going to say.  So far the book has been put on hold because of that. I would imagine some of those "nervous A-listers" also have the last name "Spears".  Another might have the initials "J.T."

When Brantley Gilbert and Jelly Roll first got together to record their song, “Son of the Dirty South,” they realized pretty quickly that they were kindred spirits who work really well together. Then they went on tour together, and they decided to make more music together, which Brantley says they hope to share with fans sooner than later. “We’re working on a EP with Jelly Roll. We went and got in the studio and basically live there for a week, and a lot of good stuff came out of that. I don’t know that we’ll release all of ‘em right now, but we are working on like kind of a little EP to put out. There is no specific release date for Brantley and Jelly Roll’s new project yet.  But, he’ll be releasing the Deluxe Edition of his ‘So Help Me God’ album on April 21^st.

The latest news coming from the House of Mouse…Disney is cutting ties with Dwayne Johnson Amidst a $3 Billion Lawsuit alleging kidnapping that just moved forward in the judicial system. The Rock, alongside many other defendants, is being sued by Trenesha Biggers, also known as Rhaka Khan, during her former TNA and WWE days, alleging that she and her kids were kidnapped.

Welcome to The List,

King Charles’ coronation is Saturday…and it seams like the ONLY person that won’t BE there is Russell Crowe!!  Apparently, he wasn’t invited because he thinks in a former encounter, When he met Charles he did not call him "your highness".  He said it's quote, "not in my DNA . . .That doesn't mean however that I meant any disrespect or discourtesy.".. It may not be ‘In his DNA’ but you really don’t want to refer to Charles as ‘Mate’, which is why Russell thinks this happened. He does however think Charles was a “good bloke’.

This is it!  I backed up the U-haul truck, I took it all.  I was past the point were it would be more expensive for them to fire me instead of just letting me take stuff.  That’s a dangerous position to put a man in”  Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3 is in theaters this weekend.

Welcome to The List,

We start today by wishing you a happy Thursday and May the 4^th be with you and In recognition of "Star Wars" Day today, Fandom.com analyzed data from its site to determine which movie from the Skywalker Saga is the most popular in each state. In Iowa 1983’s ‘Return Of The Jedi’…was the favorite.  It's not so shocking that "A New Hope" has the highest number of states, with 11.  But it IS shocking that it's TIED at that number with "The Phantom Menace". What's even MORE shocking is that "The Empire Strikes Back", which most people consider the BEST "Star Wars" movie, leads in only THREE states. I'm not sure these counts would hold up to legit scrutiny.  Or, to put it another way . . . I detect a disturbance in the Force...

As you've probably heard, Hollywood writers are ON STRIKE.  The Writers Guild of America voted to strike after they couldn't make a deal by Tuesday morning at midnight.
