Deadpool is not a character that’s overly matcho, he doesn’t saunter away he sashay’s away.  These are all performance things that require me to be in the suit and I would be sad if I wasn’t in the suit. I love the suit, if feels like an extension of some weird aspect of my personality that I get to embrace.” Deadpool three is scheduled in theaters and on HBO Max June 18th.

The List for Friday, March 12th 2021

Welcome to The List,

Award season is gearing up with the Grammy’s this Sunday and the ACM’s in April…

Miranda Lambert’s song “Bluebird” is up for Best Country Song and Best Country solo performance this year at the Grammy’s and she gets to perform her song. It must mean a lot for her to be there.  “For music, you know we haven’t been able to do what we love to do so.  Getting to come to the Grammy’s and perform and have your song celebrated, it means the world.” The Grammys air Sunday on CBS

Now, we turn to the ACM’s AND Keith Urban will be hosting.  But he made a call to Mickey Guyton to ask a very special question.  Would you be up to co-hosting with me..and she said “Yes, Yes! Do I have a pulse!! Of course!  I’m trying to be really calm right now and professional,” It’s really hard to be calm when you get asked to co-host the ACM’s we get it…The 56th ACM Awards airs Sunday, April 18th on CBS.

This week we shared that Bear Grylls may have been placed on the list as one of a few that maybe stepping into the shoes of Daniel Craig to play James Bond. “I wish that I had the acting chops for it, but I’m very flattered to anyone that suggested it, thank you.”  Bear is to busy doing real man stuff, like repelling off of mountains, surviving harsh environments and coming out the other side laughing…James Bond might take some lessons.

Rolling Stone magazine says props from classic movies like "Alien," "Die Hard, and "Batman" are heading to the auction block. The "Hollywood Legends" auction is scheduled for April 28th in Beverly Hills..

- Sean Connery's "James Bond" Walther P5 pistol

- Bruce Willis' tank top from "Die Hard"

- Al Pacino's pinstripe suit from "Scarface"
