Welcome to The List,

 We continue Country Music stars salute to moms.  Jordan Davis well, he admits to being a “mama’s boy” "I’m a Mama’s Boy. I love my Mom, and it’s the way she finds the good in everything. With my mom, as opposed to finding anything negative, she’s gonna find something positive first. That’s something I really hope I can be more like her on; one of the many things I wish I could be more like my mom on. My mom, she loves flowers, so we’ll get her flowers or take her to, we’re slowly getting her into sushi, so we love to take Mom out to sushi spots on Mother’s Day."

 Thomas Rhett has Tequila…it’s called Dos Primos, “My cousin and I go skiing every year, and we were talking on the ski lift one day about developing a company together.  We both love Tequila and we started a Tequila company and January of this year Dos Primos hit the shelves so it’s been pretty awesome.”

Josh Duhamel has a new movie “Shotgun Wedding” it’s in production with Jennifer Lopez. “We’re sort of on the run from these pirates and these people that overtook the wedding. So, I’m like this, like I just crawl out of this river half the time in this movie I’m completely soaked and sweaty and she’s just..gorgeous throughout this movie. I’m not sure we’re going to look like the perfect couple half the time because I’m this sweaty mess and she’s…well, J-Lo.” “Shotgun Wedding” hits theaters summer of next year.

Andrew Garfield addresses the rumors we’ve all heard about him maybe appearing in  "Spider-Man: No Way Home" "To be frank, I think it’s a really cool idea as a fan, just as a pure fan, yeah it’s a really cool idea. But, no, it’s not something that I’ve been asked about or anything like that. But you know, never say never. But in the meantime, no." Spider-Man: No Way Home” hits theaters this December.
